Just an absolutely wonderful experience! The ambiance is very nice, service was excellent and the food was amazing. Really two of the best meals we’ve ever had. The blackened grouper Alfredo was incredible and a really nice portion. But the cioppino was the star of the show. The best cioppino we’ve ever had. It’s a bit pricey but worth it for a special night out. And Drew, our server, made the experience even better. Thank you for creating such a wonderful memory for our anniversary!

About the restaurant

Relax and enjoy yourself as you savor some of the tastiest dishes the Caribbean has to offer. Growing up as a child in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, I came to love the local cuisine and the abundance of fresh seafood on the island. Love of the Caribbean and its food have helped make this restaurant a reality. My wonderful wife, Laurie, has a passion for Southern cooking and you will find a splendid southern twist in the menu, such as the Kentucky Hot Brown, Corn Pudding and Fried Green Tomatoes.

All our food is made fresh daily. The herbs used in our delicious dishes are grown in our garden here at the restaurant. We invite you to tour the garden and allow your taste buds to be teased by the scent of parsley, basil and rosemary and walk our boardwalk to see what’s jumping.

Thank you for visiting the Farlow’s on the Water website. We hope you choose to visit our restaurant soon.
