“Water Star Grille | Waterfront Lunch & Bayfront Dining in Stone Harbor, NJ

If you’re searching for one of the best waterfront restaurants in Stone Harbor, a place to enjoy fresh seafood with bay views, or the perfect spot for a relaxing lunch overlooking the marina, Water Star Grille should be on your list.

Located directly behind The Reeds at Shelter Haven, Water Star Grille offers a true bayfront dining experience where the scenery is just as memorable as the food. Whether you’re visiting for lunch, brunch, cocktails, or simply to enjoy the waterfront atmosphere, this is one of those restaurants that immediately puts you into vacation mode.

We chose to have lunch outside on the waterfront patio, and it couldn’t have been a better setting. Boats cruised through the marina while guests enjoyed the sunshine, waterfront views, and the relaxed coastal atmosphere that makes Stone Harbor such a special destination.

The highlight of our lunch was the beautifully presented seafood tower, featuring fresh lobster, oysters, shrimp, and chilled seafood. It wasn’t just visually impressive—it showcased the quality and freshness you’d expect from a premier Jersey Shore seafood restaurant.

The outdoor seating is spacious and comfortable, making it an excellent choice for couples, families, friends, or anyone looking to enjoy lunch with one of the best bayfront views in Cape May County. It’s also the kind of place where you can easily spend an afternoon enjoying the scenery with a cocktail in hand.

Service throughout our visit was friendly, attentive, and professional. From the moment we were seated until the seafood tower arrived at the table, everything felt polished and well-paced.

If you’re staying at The Reeds at Shelter Haven, spending the day in Stone Harbor, or simply searching for a waterfront restaurant with outstanding seafood, beautiful marina views, and a relaxing coastal atmosphere, Water Star Grille delivers an experience that’s worth making time for.

The Philly Food Fanatic Take: Water Star Grille isn’t just about the food—it’s about the entire waterfront experience. Fresh seafood, attentive service, boats passing by, and panoramic bay views come together to create one of the most enjoyable outdoor dining destinations in Stone Harbor. It’s the kind of place where lunch naturally turns into an afternoon you’ll remember.“
