   We had a reservation for 8pm. We were led to the bar area to be seated. We asked to be seated elsewhere, and were soon seated at a table very shortly. We appreciated the effort to accommodate our request. Dinner was very nice, although the note I entered on Open Table for The Waterfront to start us with a bottle of champagne for our 49th wedding anniversary dinner was apparently not conveyed, no mention if it occurred. Generally, a very nice dinner with very fine serving.

   Pleasant server, good hot food, nice atmosphere. It was very busy and they handled it well, did not appear stressed. Our food was served in a timely manner. Petite filet was excellent.

   Had a great late birthday dinner early Saturday night there. Server was new; however, did a great job of going and asking for clarification on questions that he did not know the answer to. All of the food came out at the right temperatures, steak was a touch over but nothing to complain about. Food quality was outstanding, bang bang sauce for the Brussel's and the Lemon Cake were the highlights. Also he did a good job opening a bottle of wine, for a new guy, as I am sure that can be a little nerve racking. Overall great dinner, pace was perfect, server did a great job and will be extremely strong with some more experience - but ultimately was very friendly and accommodating. Can't ask for much more.

   It was outstanding – what a wonderful place and every member of the staff is friendly and attentive – Julie was our waitress and she went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable and satisfied – but beyond that each server or busser stop by to make sure that our evening was going well and that we were taken care of – you just don’t get that anywhere anymore and that’s why we keep coming back

   Complete tourist trap. Advertised as fine dining and aas connected to a water park hotel and underwhelming food. Entirely too expensive for what you received. Won’t go back

   Music was a little loud at 12:30 lunch time. Hard to hear our conversations

    Food was great. Waiter was great. However, Ordered a ribeye and apparently the box said ribeye, but it was a New York strip. Waiter agreed with me but said he’d check on it. Said it was the third time in a week. Without coming out to talk to me the owner told the waiter “definitely a ribeye, the packers just trim them really neat.” Didn’t come out to discuss at all. Didn’t try to rectify the issue. I’ve cut meat several times and sell food for a living. I know the difference between my steaks and the steak was missing the characteristic ribeye marbling and had the strip that connects the NY Strip to the t-bone.
