    We were here for a girls’ weekend, and the food and drinks were exceptional! I had the branzino and a lavender lemon drop, and both were delicious! The service was great too! Highly recommend!

    Not worth the wait. We were running 10 minutes late, and phoned ahead. Still our party of 6 waited 40 minutes, and the were seated at the bar. Management provided Prosecco and an appetizer. An hour past the reservation, we were offered a table. This is a very loud, tight, waterfront restaurant. The bits of lobster in the bisque were chewy. In general, the seafood flavor was off, including the “three White Mexican Prawns” (standard size shrimp) , tail-on, in the spaghetti. The Chilean Sea Bass was so rubbery, it was sent back. There is a full bar.

    The food was great, it’s why we came back here. Place is very cramped. Not a place where you want to enjoy good conversation coz you have to speak really loud so you can be heard. We still waited about 25min even though we reserved with OpenTable.

    Had a reservation for the more quiet dining area ended up sitting in a very small narrow table in middle of the noisy bar area Too small of a table could barely have room for oyster rack and wine glasses and with wait staff barely walking around our table. Service was okay seemed like new wait staff Food was delicious Chilean sea bass with lobster cream sauce and the cioppino was delicious with tons of fish + seafood and toasty bread. . Pricing we thought was a little high but this is downtown Napa which tends to run higher.

    We had a great evening. The big question to the waiter was Seabass scallops? He told us that the Seabass was great. The scallops were amazing. I got the Seabass and my wife got the scallops and he was red. The scallops was amazing. The Seabass was just great. To be honest, I would not blame it on the sleep as I would blame it on the fact that it wasn’t cooked the way I like it to be carried cake was amazing. Wine was amazing.

    The ambiance was exceptional as this restaurant is perfectly located along Main Street with an electric vibe which makes for a great dining experience. We started with two appetizers, calamari Frutti, and crab cakes. The calamari was very good, but the portion served was very small. The manner in which it was prepared appeared “rushed” and because of the portion size and ratio of crusted onions versus calamari, we should have sent it back. Crab cakes were at best average and served moderately warm. This is where our dining experience shined as each of our entrees, filet mignon with grilled shrimp, lobster ravioli, and Grilled scallops were prepared to perfection and tasted exceptional. Compliments to the chef and his staff as this part of our meal was a five star experience. Unfortunately when it came to finishing off our meal with a fine desert, this part of our meal was a huge disappointment. We settled on one order of “Tracy’s Mocha Cake” which we did not receive for over fifteen minutes and when asked about our desert order, our server said “ the pastry chef went on break” Once it was brought to our table, it was a big let because it was dry, and almost tasted stale. We took two bites and had it returned because it was not edible. Our server was attentive and very pleasant and worked diligently to ensure all four of our needs were met, and was gracious and understanding when I asked her to return our desert. Overall, the Waterfront Seafood Grill is a great place to dine with a great vibe and beautiful outside seating which on brisk evenings is kept adequately warm with outdoor heaters. One suggestion when ordering appetizers, especially the calamari Frutti, mention portion size to ensure you get what you’re paying for. Enjoy! Cheers.
