Breakwater Restaurant & Bar offers consistent service with attentive staff, making it a favored spot for locals and visitors alike. Guests often praise the flavorful, curated food and well-mixed drinks. The elegant yet comfortable setting in downtown Beaufort enhances the dining experience. Fresh fish caught daily remains a highlight, complemented by beautiful food presentation. Recent reviews reflect guests' enjoyment of dishes like the short rib, shrimp and grits, and fried chicken, all noted for being prepared very well. Desserts such as creme brûlée paired with delicious decaf coffee have also received high marks. While some minor issues, like extra charges for gravy, have been mentioned, the excellent service and impressive drink selection continue to make this restaurant a local gem worth visiting. The cocktails are noted to be excellent, and unique offerings like butter bean hummus have been described as game changers. The wine list is great as always, featuring a fantastic Albariño that pairs wonderfully with shellfish. However, some guests have suggested that the dress code could be more upscale, as they feel that dining in a nicer restaurant should not include casual attire like ball caps and shorts.
