Overall I love this restaurant. This time the service was lacking. Server never offered appetizers or any food items, After almost 30 minutes and trying to flag down someone, I finally got up from my table and had to walk to the bar to ask our server to order. Her response was “in a minute” when we finally ordered apps and entrees the server brought everything out same time. Seemed like a nice girl but maybe was having a bad day. Didn’t seem friendly until the check was dropped.

It sounds frustrating, and we appreciate your patience. We’ll definitely address this with our team to ensure a better experience in the future. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide the service you expect and deserve!

We started with drinks at the bar. It was great. We then moved to an outside table. We were able to hear the water from the fountains which added a nice background noise. It wasnt crowded at all. Food was outstanding, Service was spot on. Would HIGHLY recommend.
Hearsay on The WaterwayResponded on 3 October 2024
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, bernice! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience with us. It sounds like the perfect evening, from the drinks at the bar to the serene outdoor setting with the soothing sounds of the fountains. We take pride in our food and service, so your kind words mean a lot. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another great meal!

The eggs Benedict was not good. Ham tasted weird, English muffin was tough, and eggs undercooked. French toast was decent. Would probably not recommend for brunch, but we went for dinner and the food was much better.

Thank you for your honest feedback, Janalyn. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your dinner, but we’re sorry the Eggs Benedict didn’t meet your expectations. We’ll definitely address this with our team. We hope to see you again soon for a better brunch experience!

Food and drinks are always on spot. Smaller restaurant with good view of the waterway without being directly next to it.
