    This should be around 4.5 The place was a excellent place to sit down have dinner and enjoy the water. When we were there, we were seated on the patio along the railing. The rain came down but the plastic cover was enough to let us enjoy the evening on the patio. The food was good. I also had some dessert. The reason I can't give a 5 because of the service that was a little slow when there was not too many customers dining - remember that it was raining. The drink was a bit on the lame side.

    Stumbled upon this waterfront restaurant during our day trip. Note ..They do not take reservations and the line to get in starts pretty early. We were about 10th in line upon opening for lunch. They quoted us a 20 min wait. We sat at the bar and had a couple local brews. After 40 minutes I checked with the host and she assured me we were next. We were seated outside with the beautiful waterfront view. Service was quick and attentive. The food was fresh and delicious! I had the lobster spring roll which was a bit small and needed to be filled a bit more especially for the price but, delicious. My husband had the lobster roll…. He definitely won! Overall would go back but probably would prefer one of the walk up window/lobster pound but they had closed for the season.

    Had this place recommended to me by my captain on a tour and I understand the hype. I got the crab and artichoke fondue which I can see now why people like it. They also had the best coleslaw I had in a while. The lobster roll was decent too. But my favorite was the pumpkin spice creme brulee. Tastes like fall. Also, the blueberry lemonade moctail was really good.

    Beautiful setting, great service! The Maine oysters were different from Apalachicola that we're used to, but salty and tasty. Nice selection of draft beer and wines. Lazy lobster was good, as was the broccoli, but the roasted garlic potatoes were just okay. My husband liked the Jambalaya. Get there around 4:30 at the latest to get your name on the list and you'll be seated by 5:30.

    Did NOT disappoint! Delish!!! This place came highly recommended so we expected amazing food and absolutely got it. Every course was fabulous and they have a really good non-alcoholic beer for my nights of not drinking. Highly recommend.

    My family and I enjoyed the food and atmosphere at the Waterfront! It was the perfect stop on our travels. The clam chowder is A MUST! The brie appetizer was lovely as well as the fried local scallops and haddock tacos. I also really enjoyed the blueberry lemonade! Service was very friendly and thoughtful.

    Little to no wait time, the lobster stew was packed with bits of lobster, the clam chowder lacked an amount of clam for it, the crab cake entree was bland and didn't appear very appetizing, the 1.5lb lobster was amazing with the butter sauce, and the brownie sundae dessert was delicious!
