New to the area... Arrived 5 minutes before closing and still treated like royalty. Server stated there was no rush. Ordered the turkey club on a croissant with garlic parmesan fries... EXCELLENT! Atmosphere was casual with beautiful views of the marina. Great vibe... Highly recommend!

I really like this place and I don't want to knock it down but they probably need to wash down the area before opening. The urine smell from homeless was pretty prominent today. Too bad that it messes up such a great place to grab lunch and the service really good!

Our end of the year lacrosse team banquet was a huge success. The staff at Waterfront Grill were very attentive, the food was delicious and the location was perfect. Thank you Kevin and Kat for your attention to details from start to finish.

Great little outdoor-type place. You order at the counter and your order is brought to you. Limited menu, but good options. Bring a jacket or scarf; even with the sun shining, the wind will make you shiver.

Beautiful view and very large fish tacos! Friends also ordered fish and chips, but the fish tacos seemed to be the most popular dish as it also comes with a side of tortilla chips and salsa. This is a hidden gem at Pier 32, and it is a great place to have small group lunches or to just eat/drink by yourself and to take in the view. Definitely coming back for work lunches!

Food is amazing I was a bit iffy at first because I saw a review by what I believe to be a person who identifies as a woman but I’m not sure the name was Aaron . Just can’t tell these days and I don’t want to offend anyone . But the view the food the beer and the service was all on point we’ll be coming back again for sure .

We had a nice warm table in the sun over the marina with fish tacos and a nice draft beer in January. Love it here.

I’m very disappointed with the Waterfront Grill. Back in November 2023, I was planning on having my Bridal Shower there in June 2024. I met with the chef/manager, had some food there, and checked out the deck. We briefly discussed the contract and menu. We agreed that Katherine, the head chef, would write up a contract and email it to us to sign. We were completely GHOSTED after that. My MIL and SIL reached out multiple times to follow up, like once a week. The rare times they would respond, we were told the date was still available and the contract was still in WIP. We continued with our follows up for the contract & just heard back that THE DAY WE WERE LOOKING FOR WAS ALREADY BOOKED AND TAKEN.It’s very disappointing because we were on top of everything. How is it that somebody else got a contract before us when we have been waiting for TWO MONTHS?!Overall very disappointed with the service. The food was good but I will NEVER go there again. They don’t value their customers.
