    We had Valentine’s Day dinner at Sweetwaters. The food was excellent. I enjoyed my lobster tails tails, and my husband enjoyed his spaghetti and meatballs. Sweetwaters is our favorite place to eat whether a holiday or a normal visit.

    Dining here has always been a treat but we recently had a weeknight dinner for 6 and it could not have been better. Everybody’s food was as amazing as ever and the staff just had that bit more time and attention (from smaller crowd, slower pace) that the experience was fabulous. We felt truly “welcomed” and “served” like guests / friends rather than just customers. Reminding myself to get here more often! BYOB. Everything’s good but my faves are the bang bang cauliflower, 7 Spice Tuna, and Brussels sprouts salad.
