★★★★★ 5.0 Kristie Brettman · Jan 2026

Great restaurant on the water. Outside and inside seating with wine and beer available. Try the Sangria-it was delicious. We had the grouper basket and sandwich. Both tasted amazing. We also shared a piece of Key Lime Pie which is made fresh daily. It too was delicious. Nice casual place with an island vibe. Would definitely recommend.

We happened upon this place as we were out "joy riding" and taking in the sights and exploring. Our server, Lindsay was very friendly. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was fun and free. My husband said they have the best fried pickles he's ever had.

My mother picked The Waterfront for my birthday lunch , and it did not disappoint. The laid-back beach vibe had me feeling like I was in the Caribbean with my own family from Trinidad and Dominica — no passport, no plane ticket, just pure vibes. Staff? Warm and welcoming. Food? Hands down, absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and plated with generous portions. We kicked things off with the fried artichoke hearts: tender, fresh, and spiced just right with chili sauce. The calamari? Light, crisp, and addictive. For mains, the Cajun shrimp with coconut rice and veggies was perfection, and the parmesan-crusted grouper with wild rice and asparagus was a total showstopper. Dessert sealed the deal: a key lime pie that struck the rare balance of light and creamy with that crunchy, homemade crus

What an outstanding evening watching the sunset. Karen was our server and provided excellent service and delicious food. Highly enjoyed the Shrimp and Scallop Pot Pie, and the Seafood Philly! Best part is plenty of boat parking.

We literally went down a dead end road and found this place by chance and let me tell you this is a diamond in the rough. Great food and service water front seating and straight chill vibe. I highly recommend when you on Pine Island!!
