I love this restaurant. It is a gastropub environment with excellent food. I have never had a bad thing at the restaurant. It has a pretty lake view, and they have specials sometimes that sound a bit out of this world (like ahi tuna chili) and it was delicious! The fish and chips, the burger, and the blue cheese butter topped steak and the Poke bowl are favorites, but you can't go wrong with anything in the restaurant.

We were on vacation and found this place by accident. We would go back if we were in town again. We sat outside, since the weather was nice. Loved the view. Our server was very friendly. The food was great and at a reasonable price.

I was very surprised to know that there was a sea food restaurant in the area. Just coming to Orlando as a vegetarian and fish eater I would not be able to find anywere to eat I was amazed. Thank you very much my friend and I was pleased we will be back.

I never knew this place was there. It looks so nondescript from the road. Like a steel sided trailer almost. But it's very friendly. Wooden picnic table style seating. You can sit outdoors by the lake, but we didn't find that very appealing so we stayed indoors. This is very much a jeans and t-shirt kind of place. Food is very good. Drinks are strong. Wait staff friendly and helpful. Tiniest ladies room you'll ever find, except on an airplane. I'd definitely go there again. It's a perfect alternative to an area that's rather devoid of appealing restaurants.

So sitting on the lake is nice and the service was excellent! The food however was overpriced to me. I ordered the buttermilk shrimp and it had so much breading that I had to peel it off to taste the shrimp. I may try it again because everything else was great.

The Waterfront was surpringsly fun. The restaurant is very casual, and you feel like you ar at the beach. Seats face a beautiful lake, and often there is wildlife , boats and water skiiers. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was good, and the portions were generous. There is a large bar, lots of beers and an assortment of good house wines. You can bring you dog to the side outside seating area. Music was a bit loud, but it added to the casual ambiance. I enjoyed the fried shrimp and my boyfriend had a delicous French dip sandwich. I would go back. Parking is tight and they offer valet service.

We made a reservation through open table and when we arrived they acted like they had no idea what we were talking about and proceeded to tell us where we wanted to sit had been reserved for a private party. If that was the case, the reservation shouldn’t gone through as “confirmed”. Parking was also an issue, their parking lot was full and we had to park at another plaza which was fine but having two unpleasant things upon arrival didn’t make us too excited for dinner. However, The drinks and food were good but I feel like the food is slightly overpriced. I don’t know if they’re trying to compete with downtown since they are on orange but I think the prices could be adjusted by a few dollars since the restaurant is lacking a proper parking lot and it could use some remodeling to the interior— the prices would be justified is those issues were fixed.With that being said, I feel like I would return. Maybe they were having an off night.
