First time dining at Sweet Waters and the all the good reviews are spot on. Definitely did not disappoint! A bit pricey so I’d save this place for a special occasion minus the kiddos. Drink menu was impressive and the martinis did not disappoint! Had the shrimp, bacon & mushroom apps, all amazing! Wife and I split a strip steak and the twin lobster tail dishes and both were perfectly done. Finished it off with the delightful carrot cake and a solid cappuccino! $700+ (including 20% tip) for a table of 6. Great atmosphere and the service was top knotch! Will definitely be coming back and recommending to others!
