About Persimmons Waterfront Restaurant

Persimmons Waterfront Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with stunning views of the bay. The restaurant is known for its delicious scallops, fish tacos, and book-themed cocktails. The outdoor seating area provides a great ambiance, and specialty seating is available for those who wish to enjoy drinks outdoors. The staff is praised for their kindness and friendliness, and they are accommodating of vegetarian and dietary restrictions.

While there have been some minor issues, such as a lack of acknowledgment for a birthday celebration and occasional delays, the overall experience remains positive. The quick service, delicious calamari, and fish tacos, along with the live music, continue to contribute to the enjoyable atmosphere. However, some recent visits have highlighted concerns regarding food quality, with issues like undercooked fried green tomatoes and lukewarm seafood Alfredo.

Persimmons Waterfront Restaurant is highly recommended for a dining experience with great food, views, and service. Customers are advised to arrive before 4:30 PM on Saturdays to avoid potential delays.

My other half and I have visited this restaurant multiple times, first for drinks, then an appetizer, and finally for a full dine-in experience. While the staff and atmosphere consistently deliver a 10/10, the food, unfortunately, rates a disappointing 2/10.
Our first foray into their food offerings was the fried green tomatoes. They offered a creative twist, but the tomatoes were undercooked and the accompanying pork was tough to eat. This initial disappointment was echoed...read full review

My husband and I dined at Persimmons last night for our anniversary. My husband went safe with the ribeye and I have the stuffed mahi. His ribeye was cold so we let the server know and she took it back. The manager brought it back out and it was slightly warmer. After waiting 10-15 minutes for them to do this you would think it would have either been a fresh steak or definitely better than Luke-warm.
