    What a great way to spend a nice day. Great food and drinks. There was live music that night which made it even better. You can't beat the view!

    Another great experience at Watersview, on the lake last night. We had 2 appetizers and it was more than enough for the 2 of us. We shared the Tomato Caprese, delish heirloom cherry tomatoes with buratta, so creamy and flavorful and the fried ribs.!I didn't like the sound of "fried ribs" but just order them, they were tender fall off the bone fabulous! Our waitress told us we'd like them, but we loved them instead ! Service was on point- the place was packed but I could sit and watch the sun setting over that lake every day, such a beautiful setting ! Well done Watersview. We will be back!

    My mom picked this place out for her birthday dinner and luckily they had a private area that could host our party of 20+ people. It was nice surprise to be seated in the private area and you could walk out on the deck to view the lake, which was beautiful! The waitress assigned to our party was really nice and I hate that I can't remember her name. It was pretty warm in the area despite the numerous fans but she pulled the shades down and that helped a little but not too much. The menu is pretty limited and the food was was overpriced for the quality. I ordered the mahi and cleaned my plate because I was starving but I've had better and several others in the party said the same.

    The special last night was the 12 ounce Prime Rib and it was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. It was about an hour wait as it was Saturday night but was worth the wait.

    Tuna,  seafood dip,  calamari! All exceptional

    Wonderful time at Watersview. We arrived around 245 and they were serving their lunch menu. We asked when dinner started which was 4pm- but we told we could order appetizers. We decided to do so and wait for dinner. We ordered 3 to share and they were all SO good. The calamari and seafood dip were my favorites. We stuck around and the waitress took our dinner order a bit early for us - and we both selected an entree. Both were wonderful. This was a weekend trip, not sure we will be in the area again- but 10/10 recommend!

    At Lake Gaston for annual lake trip that me and friends make every year the weekend after the labor day. Service was great but my main dish left something to be desired. I ordered their Smoked Chicken Wings and the Captains Fried Platter. The wings were awesome and would so get those again. I also had a piece of Tuna sashimi and a piece of cast iron sweet potato cornbread. Yum! That cornbread I could have ate the whole little skillet myself lol It was the Captains Fried Platter that was just not good to me. I got the choose two (Rockfish and Shrimp). The fish was huge and the shrimp were plump but the batter on the both was just so bland no seasoning and the batter was just falling off. No amount of tartar sauce was helping. I just could not finish eating. I gave the rest of my dinner to my sister's boyfriend and he also thought the same thing. I would not get that dish again, but would happily get the wings if go back there next trip.

    Creamy Cajun Pasta

    Service was good, food was not. Our table got the creamy Cajun pasta, burger, salmon and a few other things. Personally I thought the Cajun pasta had a good amount of spice but very bland. No real flavor. The chicken in it tastes frozen.

    Who doesn't love a Restaraunt that you can ride up in a boat to the dock, tie off, grab a table,…read moreand enjoy the view. What a treat. This was our first visit to this establishment. Our expectations were high. As we walked down the dock checking out the other boats tied off along the way we could hear laughter and good music. (Be mindful of any loose boards) We were greeted as soon as we walked up and seated at an 8 top right on the deck viewing the lake. The menu had a lot of appealing items to select from. A majority of them being fried seafood fair. The prices were reasonable for the selection as well. The six of us all ordered something different. I had the Firecracker Shrimp (huge!), my wire ordered the crab cakes (disappointing due to more filler than crab at $22 for two), son had the 8oz burger (he loved it), tenders for the little guy, my uncle ordered the alligator bites which they were out of so he picked the catfish nuggets, and my aunt got the chicken nachos. The portions were rather large. Down to stars. I'm on the fence between 3 or 4 for these reasons. We arrived around 2:30pm and probably waited just over an hour for our food. The little ones were restless and cranky. The food was decent with the exception of the crab cakes. Servers were overwhelmed somewhat due to customers sharing stories from what I could gather from nearby tables. People are chatty when the mixed beverages are flowing. However, I love the experience, vibe, and the view. So 4 it is for this trip. You should check them out. I would definitely like to come back. It was really fun and I can only expect that place to get crazier as the summer goes on. Side note: If you order water, there is a $0.95 charge. Also there is a membership discount, but I don't know what that entails.
