    Beautiful view
    Doug F.

    While visiting family, we went to this very nice waterfront restaurant that seems to be a classic building but in excellent condition and has great views of the river. The wood tables are spaced far enough apart to hold conversations but also keep your conversations private. Our waitress was fast, friendly and had the prettiest blue eyes. She was helpful in selecting our meals too, which was welcomed because the menu is quite eclectic and had tons of options as well.

    Came here from a recommendation from my aunt and uncles neighbor and it did not disappoint. Great 'on the water', with music and the menu had a ton of awesome choices - although that does make it difficult to choose - but it's awesome when u have options that are different than your used to and have a hard time deciding. I opted for the crabby pita. Wow crab! My other half had a very porky- porky pig flatbread! lol. My aunt and uncle had a cheesesteak and loaded nachos For appies- helloooo coconut shrimp with a fantastic (I have to find the recipe) raspberry horseradish sauce, and pretzel bites. It was hot sitting in the sun, but we had a very friendly waitress and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Thanks waterfront. Formerly from NJ (me) but now a Californian- took my boyfriend to Nj to check it out - and this was a nice surprise addition for our tastebuds out here. Thank you!

    Came on a Sunday morning for brunch. The service was excellent with recommendations and pointing out examples with explanations of everything. This is a sprawling property with multiple areas and bars. All tastefully decorated. Perfect place for a meeting,date or taking your grandma out. The food was middle of the road. It presented well and had some originality with some dishes but some repeats you can get from other local restaurants at a smaller price point. I'd go again pending the rotating specials

    Lobster bisque w/ crackers.

    My family and I had a very positive experience at The Waterfront - we sat upstairs for the river view and were not disappointed, The staff was young, energetic and attentive, the food was first class. The first plus for me was the elevator, sometimes it's the little things that make me appreciate a restaurant. The menu is diverse, there's a happy hour and plenty of dishes available if you're really hungry or just want drinks and a snack. Our table ordered nachos, coconut shrimp and a round of their lobster bisque. I ordered a Ruben sandwich along with a Cape May draft and ended up taking half home, it was really delicious. I'm looking forward to nuking the other half tomorrow for lunch. The grounds are pretty, there's plenty of parking and it's sits right on the Forked River. What's not to love.

    Penne Vodka

    Had this to go and had the penne vodka it was pretty good. The flavors were nice. Was fresh sauce was good on it that they have to try it more of what they offer here. Good views on the water too.

    Breakfast Burrito

    While visiting friends we stopped by for Sunday brunch. Drinks we had the Mimosa tower this comes with various juices & mixes 2-3 bottles later we were nice loll. Main dish I had the Pigs in a blankie, the name caught my attention since it just sounded funny the dish was actually very good, pancake rolled with some eggs, sausage very tasty. Hubby had a Breakfast burrito comes w home fries , good size , good burrito. Also good was the Omelette w home fries. Nice place overlooking the water, service was good & prices were reasonable we enjoyed our meal.

    Rueben

    Absofreakinlutely The Best Rueben I've had in a long time!! So tender and thinly sliced absolute perfection!!

    Shore Omelet

    We wanted to try out their brunch before the summer season got underway. I had last been there when it was called Latitudes, and that was about 10 years ago. Turns out, the Waterfront is still a nicer place with water views. It has more of a seashore feel without having to go to Florida or over the bridge to LBI. Many years earlier it had been part of Southwinds Marina, and the building still retains the feel of a charming marina clubhouse. Their brunch has many different options. However, I would call it a fancier breakfast with big portions. The crowd in this region prefers luncheonette/diner breakfasts, so a delicate balance needed to be struck between breakfast and brunch. Slightly more alcoholic brunch drinks are available. My Bloody Mary was prepared very well and was my favorite item of the experience. The prices for both the drinks and brunch meals were actually fair, which is rare these days. The service was efficient, and I can tell everyone is well trained. However, I do have to say that I encountered some nuanced resistance from three different employees at various stages of the experience. I got the vibe that they just wanted to seat us and turn the tables quickly, but that might not end up being the case for you.

It was a bit loud, hard to hold conversation. Live Band started playing around 8pm. Server was great! Cheerful, checked in on us! She had a vibrant personality. Don't recall her name. Friday menu special Soup or salad, entree and ice cream sundae for $26. I ordered chicken pot pie- it good. Daughter commented food was good. Parking lot available a short walk away.

The gingerbread cookie martini was enjoyable. For appetizers, we ordered the spinach crab dip and french onion dip to start. The French onion came with crispy onions on top, a balsamic glaze, and homemade kettle chips on the side. Both were yummy. For entrees, we ordered the steak frites, open face steak sandwich, and grilled chicken club sandwich. They cooked the steak medium rare which was delicious. My friend said the open face steak sandwich was alright, 6.4/10. My fiancé enjoyed his grilled chicken sandwich. The waitress was fantastic and had a fun personality! They also had a separate gluten free menu. They had a flourless chocolate cake, which was not the best I had but it was appreciated that there was a gf option for dessert.

    After months of seeing people complain about the high prices (pssst- you are not their target…read moreaudience), I finally gave it a try. If you are looking for very high quality food from a restaurant that does not skimp on details, you will not be disappointed. Everything was SO delicious and so much attention and care was put into everything. Everything, and I made everything, is made in-house. The bread and crackers were excellent. The prime beef tartar was tasty, but the flavors were slightly strong on some pieces. We nearly ordered two of the Blue Fin Tuna Tartar because it was so incredibly fresh (the fish was purchased at the market that morning). The Moroccon Cigar with filo and lamb was fried to perfection. The filet mignon was PERFECTLY cooked (drool). But my absolute favorite was the plum and apple galette- oh my gosh. If you like fruity desserts, this was to die for. I would go back just for this. But the details are what made dinner a truly special experience. The menu covers are made from a high quality leather. The steak knives are engraved. Everyone was seated in different areas of the restaurant for added privacy. As I mentioned, EVERYTHING is homemade. When we left, we received two homemade cookies. Aside from the server making a couple of comments that made me feel like I was a woman living in 1945, service was exceptional and the diversity of the staff was wonderful! We ordered one drink, two appetizers, two entrees and a dessert and spent around $200 with tip. Overall, a fantastic experience. I will be back soon.

Tonight specifically, I went to dinner with my girlfriend for an early Valentine's Day dinner, and had yet another pleasant experience! I ordered a ribeye steak, it was cooked perfectly, which is something that rarely happens at restaurants. It was also very good, one of the best steaks I've ever had, which is especially impressive for a non-steakhouse! I was overall very impressed tonight that it prompted me to leave a review. Not that I haven't been impressed the other times. Our waiter, Chris, was also exceptional. Very speedy and proficient in the serving process. Very accommodating and constantly asking to help. Went above and beyond to ensure us a good experience. The atmosphere every-time I go is great, I always love the southern-like feel with the country music playing, and the clover leaf to highlight Irish heritage! Would recommend this place to anyone, they always deliver a great experience. Look forward to returning as I always do. They have never disappointed! Of course, nobody is perfect besides Jesus. My only critique is how long it took for us to be seated when we first arrived. This, of course, is a good sign for the restaurant, as they're busy! I'm just nitpicking, but I did get impatient while waiting to be seated. After that, I had yet another tremendous experience as always! I wish I was able to give 4.5 stars, because I don't like to give out 5s as nobody is perfect besides Jesus, however 4 stars is too low! Think of this as a 4.5 star review! Well done to Caffrey's as usual, and waiter Chris!

    My apologies I thought I reviewed this establishment already!…read moreWe were here on March 21st before 6 PM so no trouble getting a table. The place is huge, with a huge bar. I think it is probably more of a bar type of restaurant and vibe. That's definitely the feel of the place. Service was friendly and very good. We shared a rainbow roll, it was just average. I had a cheesesteak it was large, and I ate the rest of it the next day. The flavor was just a little on the mediocre side. My wife had sliders and she said they were good. The french fries were very good. I will definitely go back and try other things on the menu. I recommend this place for people that like to drink, it look like there could be a lot of fun in that bar area. I would imagine in the summer this place is really busy.

When we ordered a flat bread off the menu and asked for a different cheese seemed like no problem but was told "We can't because it's already on there" right there you know the whole menu has to be premade as a flat bread would be the easiest for toppings to be changed.. Sadly to say we ordered the chicken tacos YES I KNOW BETTER... probably scooped with an ice cream scooper...Totally processed even the guacamole needless to say one bite and done.. One plus the bartenders were super attentive and nice.. Would go back for a drink... Mostly a large bar and high tops...laid back nice local crowd.
