Watervue Grille- Downtown Tampa- Harbour Island

Had some of the best seafood dishes I’ve had in Tampa, so glad to have stumbled across a local spot with great outdoor views! Will be back for sure, great happy hour drink deals as well.

Wish it was closer to the water but they have no control over that. They were out of the dish I wanted by the time we arrived. However, the service was amazing, as well as the dish I decided to order.
We'll definitely be back!

I had an excellent dining experience at Watervue Grille. I ordered the Parmigiano Crusted Swordfish and it was delicious!! The flavor was amazing. The ambience was great, beautiful views, and quiet enough to be able to have a nice conversation. I highly recommend Watervue Grille!

We went on Christmas Eve and the food was delicious!!! The atmosphere was great. It was a last-minute decision, but I'm so glad we made it. I had the shrimp salad and truffle fries. My son had the lobster roll, and we had the smoked grouper it was super delicious 😋

Ordered the mixed green salad for lunch, I think it was $15, the salad was barely more than a side salad in size with just basic mixed greens, some store bought shredded carrots, and 3 grape tomatoes. Someone else in our party ordered a sandwich and said it was okay, I tried the fries and they were good. Drinks prices were very high. I know for a convenient location with a pretty view you expect higher prices but for the food and service received this was not a good experience.

Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options such as a salad and brussel sprouts but not much, I don't recommend it for a vegetarian.

Parking: There are a few parallel parking spots right by the restaurant, but they can be difficult to find. For dinner you might get lucky, but not likely.

I'm only writing this review because Google maps insisted that I write one. I drove by there a week ago to take pictures of the car I want to rent out. I guess because I stopped and loitered Google thought I ate here. View is fantastic. Restaurant looks pricey. Parking looks non-existent, maybe in the condo garage around the corner? The whole street in front is marked no parking and I suppose that's what keeps it pretty. Anyway, good luck with the restaurant thing. And order the whatever. I hear it's great. Tell 'em Bob sent you. They'll give you the same confused look they gave me. ?

Great Find – On Harbor Island’s Channelside Walkway, across the channel facing Amalie Stadium – it’s not a fancy looking place, the food rivals many “white tablecloth” restaurants. We had the calamari – not overly breaded. The pecan encrusted pompano had a crispy exterior and moist interior. The mahi mahi was very moist and a large portion. The accompanying vegetables were nicely done – not an afterthought. Jessica, our wait person, was very knowledgeable about the menu. Prices are mid-range – good value for the quality and quantity of fish. There is a nearby parking garage, as street level parking is non-existent. Skip the crowds on Channelside, cross the bridge and enjoy a great meal with a view of the water.
