    I’m just going to start off by saying, I love this restaurant! I booked Sweet Waters as a Birthday Brunch do-over for my sister from a horrible dining experience at House 157. Sweet Waters more than made up for her birthday. Our waiter was excellent, knowledgeable with the specials and recommendations and he always returned to our table to check on us. The plating was delectable and the meals were beyond delicious. I even asked for an extra Berry Pancake and it was delivered without any hassle. My sister was very happy with her Birthday do-over and Pumpkin Cheesecake. I will ALWAYS recommend Sweet Waters Steak House! Thank you

    Fantastic restaurant. We went here with one half of the family on Christmas Eve. It was so great that we took the other half here on the day after Christmas. Every dish was fantastic. Service is on point. Get there early and sit at the bar. Great vibe. Upscale, relaxed.

    Honestly, I don't know where the negative reviews I read on here came from. My husband and I just ate here this past week and it was every bit as good as it has always been. My standby for an appetizer, the egg-yolk ravioli was just as heavenly as it has always been. My lobster, shrimp and crepe entree was absolutely divine. My husband's veal was delicious! The hostess graciously moved us to a "better table" after we were seated (we didn't even ask) and the ambience was wonderful at both tables. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and funny. It was a wonderful evening and we can't wait to return.
