The Narrows Restaurant

This restaurant had the best views I have experienced in a while. The enclosed deck was comfortable and afforded the best dining experience. Service was prompt and attentive with good meal selection recommendations. We started with bread, which was very tasty and fresh. We also tried soup, French onion and cream of crab, both were very good. We shared the fried green tomatoes which was just ok. Our meals were appetizers since it was lunchtime, so I had calamari which was tasty but more on the chewy side. My daughter had the crab tart which we both really enjoyed.Great experience for a quick lunch stop.

It's been 15 years since I was last here and I wanted to treat my family to what i remembered was a great restaurant. It was a real disappointment overall. 1. It was strange to see so many people wearing baseball caps here. I suppose times have changed.2. I ordered an ice tea, wasn't brought sweetener, or asked if I wanted any.3. We ordered oysters Rockefeller. One didn't have an oyster and the taste of the spinach was not pleasant. 4. We ordered vegetable and cream of crab soup. There was very little crab. I had better, flavorful, and plenty of crab in my soup at Fishermans the night before.5. The server did not bright us crackers for our crab soup. 6. Drinks were slow to be refilled.7. My daughter got the cioppino and the lobster was tough and the brought she said was disgusting.8. The server tried to do her job, but she was not pleasant or engaging. 9. I like It when you are about to leave, but still.have a full drink and the server asks if you want your drink to go. We were not asked.Overall, we were extremely disappointed. This use to be a great restaurant. We had a mush better dinner at Fishermans the night before.

The restaurant was busy so we had to wait a little bit. However, the hostess staff was great and was able to seat us early.Server was ok.Food was very good. Clams casino some of the best we have had. We would go back just for the clams.Crab cakes come in single or dual. Spouse said they were great.Tuna with their potatoes excellent. Bar seating, outside seating and inside seating, all set up very nice.Parking private lot.We would return.

Most satisfying meal. Great service. We could not stop talking about the crab cakes. It has been a while that we dined at a restaurant and afterwards the food is still in our mind. Those crab cakes were so so good. The staff seemed to be right there every time we needed something. This will definitely be a restaurant we stop by every time we come this way.

This restaurant was next door to the Hyatt Place so we decided to dine here for dinner and was happy we did. I was very satisfied with the food, service and atmosphere. We had couple dozens of oysters to start along with crab dip. The oysters were huge! I ate the Grilled Rainbow trout, and it was quite delicious, and the mashed potatoes were like potato puree - it was so good. Most of my party had their crab cakes and commented how it was mostly jumbo lump with little fillers. Those were priced at $52 for two crab cakes.If you're staying at the Hyatt this place is literally a minute walk. I would highly recommend dining here.

This was a pleasant surprise of a dinner spot. It was quiet and relaxing. The restaurant next door had live music and it was loud. It was not for us. Fisherman's crab deck had an hour wait. We decided to come here and they had a table near the water available. It was nice and cozy and romantic. The fried oysters were good and would recommend it. They had it on multiple spots on the menu and felt like it was their specialty. I can see that. It was super soft and tender rather than rubbery. It was a bit pricey but all of the restaurants here were roughly the same price

Not a fan of this place. I think this restaurant lacks competition so the service and food stinks. We had a horrible experience with subpar food and service. There was obviously a training issue with our server and she struggled through the entire meal. We were there in the summertime, so it was busy and just wasn't a good night. We probably will not be back.

Excellent food & great service with a beautiful view! My husband and I always get their crab cakes! Sometimes we will buy the uncooked crab cakes when passing through so we can enjoy them later at home. They even make up a to go bag with ice for the uncooked crab cakes which is worth it as they are the best crab cakes I've ever had. If you still have room, their hot fudge sundaes are topped with praline nuts. This place is one of our favorites!

Stopped by here on a trip home and had a really lovely time. We sat outside on their back deck and we had a wonderful view of the water. Our server was very attentive, and the atmosphere was great. Our food was quite tasty too. We had some mocktails (Raspberry Swizzler and Arnold Palmer) and tried a number of menu items. The seasonal dish of fried green tomatoes with crab and corn was tasty, although a little heavy, and the ahi tuna appetizer was fresh and light. Great balance. We also ordered the crab po'boy which was good, not too oily, and the right amount of food for the price. Highly recommend this place!

I really wanted to love this place, but left underwhelmed. I did extensive research to pick the perfect dinner spot for my bfs birthday. I narrowed it down to three and had him look at menus and he picked the narrows. I called and make a reservation for 2 with a waterview. The restaurant is a cute little spot off the marina with bright lighting outdoors. Our reservation missed the request for a waterview but they worked it out and we were seated immediately with a view. We ordered drinks to start. They were out of the on tap drink so my bf opted for another cocktail. It was watered down and underwhelming and in hindsight he should've had a beer or wine. My gingerbeer was flat as well.Next the appetizers - I was craving fried green tomatoes and oysters so we got both. The fried green tomatoes were unfortunately gummy/soggy. The toppings of crab and corn did not give us freshness either. The oysters were a miss as well. For the oyster Rockefellers they put hollandaise on it, but we were not fans and ordered without. Of the trip the parm crusted we're the best, but the other versions lacked flavor.The entrees - we ordered the pecan crusted catfish on jalapeño polenta and crab cakes with mashed potatoes. Both were bland and underwhelming. I could not find pecans on the catfish to be honest. Hot sauce could not save them. Overall the food being off the water lacked freshness and presentation. We stopped the dining venture there and had dessert elsewhere.As a side, the hostess and waitress were nice and welcoming so still gave a 20% tip based on that, but the price for the food we ate was not worth it.
