We chose Waterfront to celebrate our 30th Wedding anniversary as we both love seafood. It proved to be a wonderful choice. We each had entrees and main courses and shared a desert. Every dish was promptly served, suitably proportioned and delicious. Had time for a romantic stroll on the beach after.

Big Pig Little Pig was amazing. The food was fresh, delicious and well priced. Good selection of beers on tap. The process to order at the counter was a bit challenging and the specials weren't clear. We will definitely be back. We had a group of 5 people and we all loved the food.
