Farlows on the Water Reviews
Their management could be more considerate and understanding towards customers questions about orders. Poor management leads to people not wanting ti go to that restaurant
Tried Farlow’s for the first time tonight, fell in love at first and thought we had found a really great place. Waiter was great, the early food and drinks were good, ordered a steak entree that they had on the menu as one of their favorites. Paid a good amount for a New York Strip and it was 90% grizzle. Couldn’t chew at all! Host came by table and asked how everything was, which was all great except for the terrible cut of a very expensive entre. She did offer to get us...read full review
Steak au Poivre and Blackened Grouper for a delicious and simple early dinner. Love the interesting variety of menu choices and restaurant atmosphere. The Farlows are doing it right.

Farlows on the Water offers a beautiful dining experience with dockside seating. The attentive servers provide excellent service and are knowledgeable about the menu. Guests have noted that the outside seating areas are awesome, and the service is typically great. The Barramundi dish with a side of house salad and mixed veggies is delicious, while the mussels are phenomenal. The triggerfish with fontina bacon grits has been highly praised, and the Southern Style Trigger Fish and Peter Island Scallops have also impressed diners. The escargot is noted as outstanding, though some dishes like the hush puppies and shrimp received mixed reviews. While the steaks were sometimes tough, the Filet Mignon was good. The grandkids had to send back the grouper bites, but the chicken fingers were okay. The Gold Tile fish and Shrimp and Grits have been described as delicious. However, some diners feel that the restaurant tries too hard to make many dishes extravagant, which can bury the natural flavors. Desserts like the lava cake fell short, and many wished for room to try more. Despite varied reviews on food quality, the overall dining experience at Farlows on the Water is enjoyable, with large portion sizes and a wonderful atmosphere that many recommend. Guests appreciate the friendly and attentive staff, who take the time to explain how dishes are prepared. The restaurant also features live music, enhancing the dining experience.
