My first time at this place was when I moved to town in June '08, lots of people recommended it, but none of those people had actually been there, just heard about it. I think it would be fun for younger people who like to just hang and drink. The food wasn't bad, but very average, desert was really good and they had a decent variety. Sat on the deck for dinner, wasn't a very good view, I don't know why people wait so long for a table out there, its mostly a view of the road and concrete pier/bridge. The inside has a lot of personality, every time I go I see something cool I didn't notice before (like the tables in the bar).
The waitstaff was not mean, but not very friendly, even when it wasn't busy, they just wanted you to get in and get out. Price for stuff was alright on some items, but really over priced on others-we paid half the price for a dozen clams at a restaurant down the road. A guy at the bar told us about Castaways, a place a little further down the road, glad we went here so we could meet that guy, the next time we went out was that restaurant and it was amazing!
Couple months ago we met friends at Waterfront for some drinks, the bartender was too busy flirting with some of the young guys at the end of the bar to wait on us-I went to the bathroom and came back and she was just asking my group what they wanted. This continued the rest of the night, waited forever for refills. If you like young loud crowds, this place is for you, otherwise, try a more chill place. Not a bad restaurant, but definitely not for me.
