Food was great. The only thing that was disappointing was that we made a reservation for standard seating inside but we were seated outside with an overpowering over head heater.

Our experience from start to finish was amazing as always. Felt like whole staff never missed a day even though it was their first Saturday night back. Chef Brandon has done a great job in the kitchen, our food was amazing. Management team made sure to make my birthday special thank you Nicole and Ashley! Last but not least Paul D took care of us and he is always so fun, upbeat, and engaging. Highly recommend WG for your next night out!

Waterman Grille is one of our favorites from the Newport Restaurant Group. We were greeted by our server quickly however, cocktails were a bit slow to arrive (20mins but worth the wait). We had calamari and deviled eggs for appetizers. Both were tasty. The curried cauliflower soup was silky and habit forming. I could eat it everyday! Entrees included Beef Stroganoff, Cod and Pork Shank. All three were hearty portions & delicious. Our only complaints… and they wouldn’t keep us from returning- There’s no room in the entryway by the hostess stand. Be on time for a reservation because there’s nowhere to wait or have a pre-dinner cocktail. Also the restrooms are quite difficult to access. They’re in the basement and if anyone in your party has mobility issues it can pose a problem. We also felt this should be mentioned beforehand. Overall, we’d return. The food is the reason we always come back!

One of our fave places. Just be sure they seat you in first floor where the vibe is. Also warmer there in colder months

Lovely to have this restaurant back ! All the food was done perfectly- we had salmon,steak, waterman salad and mezze platter. The ambiance is always so comfortable for talking and relaxing! Service was attentive but not overly so - no rushing :) overall, a great experience for our group of 5!
