We’ve wanted to visit this restaurant for a while and finally had the chance today. Our server Kortnie was awesome. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. The service was awesome. The food came out relatively quickly. They get great points for timeliness and courtesy.
I liked the appetizers, although I can tell it was time to change the oil in the fryer… I could taste it in the Calamari. The Honey Butter for the Hush Puppies was really good.
Unfortunately, I ordered the Cajun Pasta. The sauce was very thin and barely clung to the Cavatappi…I’m not sure why they use that pasta for that dish but that’s an entirely different conversation. I don’t like sending dishes back but I could not eat it so I sent it back.
As a former Sous Chef, I was expecting a Manager to come speak with us for their report but that never happened. I was very surprised by that. Anyway, maybe they were having an off day in the kitchen. Not so sure I will be returning anytime soon.

Great food. Ordered the seafood gumbo. Wife ordered breaded shrimp. So good. Atmosphere is alive and vibrant. Service is great. Will be back. And oh my goodness if you even remotely like pecans get the Pecan Bar. It’s like candied pecans with ice cream wow!

Best chicken waffles I’ve ever had. Service was great.
Chicken was plum, juicy, and perfect crisp flavor for batter. The waffles were rich. Slightly a little too sugary, but still good.
Biscuits were amazing. Nice and golden on the outside very fluffy and moist on the inside.
Chicken and waffles – $18, biscuits – five dollars, chicken biscuit – $11
Music was very vibe and a good loud volume. Especially because the patio is in a busy intersection. Help drown out a little of the car noise.

The shrimp platter is delicious. I think the batch I had was a little over cooked, but the taste was there and the portions were good. I was not a fan of the lobster roll, though. It was bland, the lobster needed seasoning, some butter, something! The Mac and cheese was pretty good, but the portion was not enough to even feed a toddler. And for the price, it was quite disappointing. I might be back to try other options. The inside dining can feel cramped and loud, but they do have a rooftop, so not sure if that would be a better vibe.

I hadn’t visited in a long time and this take out food was not good at all. The broccoli was hard even though I asked for it to be cooked a little softer. They also charged me for an extra side of broccoli that I didn’t ask for. The salmon was bland. They barely gave any rice. The Mac and cheese used to be one of my favs and it had a very weird taste to it as if something was spoiled. It wasn’t good at all. I will not be returning.

The restaurant was so amazing we had some set backs which we will get into .. I came in this Sunday evening to sit up stairs . We got drinks upstairs the host walked us up there as this was our first time here . We got drinks closed out then we came down stairs the hostess Nijay sat us at a table . The server that night was super busy and never came over to us . The host came to us and said he is sorry about that and got us started with some drinks and some apps he was very pleasing and he stepped up and went above and beyond . He got us oysters and food and treated us like family . He then told us that she would be over with us Ina. Bit after a while she never came back and he realized that and he continued to help us and closed us out . We asked him would the tip go to him he said no because he isn’t a server and that wouldn’t be right. We still tipped but felt the tip should have went to him for taking Amazing care of us he was very helpful and he told us about the happy hour during the week I’ll be back thanks waterman for having such nice people

I’m hooked on their hospitality! Even on a stormy night the manager cleared off tables to accommodate our birthday girl. There wasn’t much of a wait outdoor but the inside was packed which is a good sign of good food. There are drink specials and unique seafood dishes. The table raved about the appetizers. The rooftop was closed due to the weather but I would come back. Not too pricey and just enough to make the night special.

As a first timer, all I can say is: OUTSTANDING!
Unfortunately we had to order takeout, but my goodness; everything was incredible. I can only imagine what I missed had we dined in. So many options left to try so we will definitely be back!
Everything was boxed properly. All of the food was prepared correctly, even with quite a few dietary restrictions and modifications. The ceviche was delicious; paired along with chips that remained crunchy and were not oily. The Salmon was prepared exactly as ordered; without oil or butter and was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The scallops, shrimp and flounder were blackened with such a robust flavor without the extra saltiness. The scallops were firm and seared; leaving edges of crispiness and a tender texture. The seasonings did not take over the flavors of freshness from the fish. The rice was fantastic and paired well with the charred broccoli. We can’t wait to try the dirty rice next! The Waterman Sauce was great! We ordered half a dozen Sea Salt Oysters and instantly regretted not ordering a dozen. The coleslaw was one of the best we’ve had.
Lastly, the Key Lime Tart was firm, creamy and had the perfect mix of zest and perfection I look for in this dessert. This is easily a dessert to be eaten in one sitting without sharing.
Our experience here proved we do not need to be at a beach to get top quality seafood and an experience that makes me want to come back already tomorrow.

I had the citrus salmon. It was decent just needed more seasoning. The broccoli absolutely had no seasoning so I asked for ranch to dip it in. The Cajun french fries were good: not spicy at all. My friend had the simply salmon do not order this. It had no flavor to it. My daughter had the chicken and waffles. She said the chicken was very delicious but the waffle was so so. The mac & cheese was decent very cheesy.

Amazing food!!!!! Been here 3 times and every time, the food is a 10/10. I got fried chicken tacos (delicious and so crispy) and the chicken nachos. Everyone at the table loved their food. Room for improvement would be the bathroom (it wasn’t clean + the sink sprays out really hard). I think the seats could be more comfortable too, but the food and service make this place so worth it!
