    6:45 Fri night and we were alone in the restaurant. Found the experience just OK, Nothing bad but nothing to rave about either. A little pricey for the experience

    We had a wonderful dinner with another couple on a Friday night. The service and the food were excellent. The group order the Surf and turf special, the blackened swordfish and the shrimp and scallop capellini. The waitress was attentive (Audrianna?) and the bartender Tom was extremely efficient and cordial. It is a shame that no more people were there.

    Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that you and your friends enjoyed the dinner, and we’ll make sure to pass your compliments on to Audrianna and Tom. We hope to see you back for another great evening soon!

    The place had 4 tables sat when we walked in. The table we were sat at was dirty. They clearly don’t have enough staff. The food was below par for the price they charge. The drinks were good but let’s be honest it’s tough to screw up beer and vodka soda. I don’t know what happened to this place. The food was once great.

    Our waitress was over taxed, she was alone with many tables both outside on the deck and inside the restaurant. She worked as hard as anyone could have but never had a chance, amazing how she never let up. They need more staff!

    If I could give zero stars I would. The service was absolutely terrible. Many tables around us were also complaining. Wait staff would disappear for 20-30 minutes at a time. I went to the bar myself to get our drinks. People who were seated 15-30 minutes after us, received their food before us. After a long wait, we were at least hoping that the food would be delicious. Sadly, it was not. I over heard one customer complaining to management that they were waiting 20 minutes for their bill. It’s a beautiful location and this used to be a good restaurant. Not anymore. I will never return. I suggest you do not waste your time or money.
    The Grille at WaterviewResponded on July 23, 2024
    We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. Your feedback about the service and food quality is very concerning, and we are addressing these issues with our team immediately. We regret that we failed to provide the experience you expected and deserved. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will work hard to make the necessary improvements.
