Beautiful place and the food was great. It was a bit pricey but for a special night out, it was worth it.

The Pad Thai is absolutely phenomenal! You can’t go wrong with any of the craft cocktails, but my favorite was the Blue Moon Martini. The service is excellent—our bartender was very attentive and made us feel so welcomed. A great place to go with a group of friends! We’ll definitely be back!

I came to this place for Labor Day weekend. It seemed like everyone here wanted to eat at the Wharf, which is across the river from this spot. I decided to try this place, and it was definitely worth it.
I ordered the crab claws, which were beautifully plated and very delicious. My only suggestion would be to add some salted clarified butter to help enhance the delicate meat.
I also ordered the Tuna Tower, which was very good. The tuna was fresh and tasty.
The final sampling was of the coconut shrimp, which were served crunchy and perfectly brown. They came with a Thai-inspired dipping sauce, but I asked for a more traditional cocktail sauce, and the chef preferred some fresh for us.
I know WI is one for burgers, fish fries, and cheese curds, but this was a refreshing hidden gem. I wish they had a little band or singer-songwriter playing music on the weekends to attract more customers.

My date was very disappointed in his bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin. My burger was amazing. we were just trying to enjoy our wine and the server kept coming back (4 times) to get the bill like she was getting off or something but she wasn't. She was young and didn't know how to read the table.

Wonderful location! Need to hire more staff because the service was glacial. Our server was slammed with a big table but the other server wouldn’t help by covering tables that weren’t their’s telling us basically, “you’re not my table.” 1 1/2 hours to get chips and salsa and glasses of wine? Unacceptable. Such a fine location but probably done there until the staffing situation is resolved.

I love this hidden gem on the river. They craft great cocktails with fresh juices and premium spirits. My favorite Margarita in the state! . The food is creative, and the menu covers varied cuisines and nightly features. All dishes I’ve had were delicious. The chef accommodated our special requests regarding sauces, snd spices. I especially love their Thai dishes. Lovely owners and staff too! Waterfront Wine Bar is always one of our first stops when we visit Manitowoc.

Two meals, two glasses of wine. One dessert. All good.
Great location with some of the best food, even the kids meals were very tasty. Coconut shrimp tacos are a must. Quite possibly the worst service I have ever received at a restaurant, expect unusually long wait times for your food.

The food was average, the service was terribly slow, but at least the location was nice. Unfortunately, about half of the string lights were burnt out outside.

Stopped for quick a snack. Impressive bourbon offerings, same with wine (of course with the name being as such).
