Convenience fee for their ability to take your money by charging on card. Tacky at these prices. Really.

Awesome service. My swordfish was cooked to order, not too well done. Very casual and on the water. Loved it!

Dine on waterside classics at this ample restaurant with easy parking.Get the Rum Runner! It is authentic to the 1970s recipe dreamed up at the Holiday Isle Tiki Bar on Islamorada in the Florida Keys.Our food was okay, and the service was good enough. We liked the large outdoor seating area. Just come for views and cocktails. There are decent gluten-free and dairy-free options, but nothing is marked on the menu.

The food here was okay, but on the pricey side. I think this is a place you come for the view of the river, which you also pay for. The outdoor seating definitely has a nice view of the river.Our server was friendly and attentive. I would eat here again for the view.

Came here to eat after a recommendation from our manatee snorkeling tour guide. Highly recommend if you're searching for a spot to eat seafood in the area! The service was phenomenal. I was a little chilly outside and they asked if I would like the fan turned off, after that the temperature was perfect. They have outdoor heaters as well for when it gets chilly. The service was prompt and accurate. It was lovely sitting outside on the patio while watching the sunset. All of the food was delicious and brought out quickly. We ordered: 2 Rum Punches, Gator Bites, Salmon Poke Bowl, Blackened Shrimp Poke Bowl, and Key Lime Pie. I highly recommend trying the gator bites, they taste like juicy chicken nuggets. The seafood all tasted fresh and delicious - you have the option of requesting raw or cooked salmon in the poke bowl. The key lime pie tasted great as well and was plated nicely. Thanks for the delicious dinner Waterfront Social!

This place is a disaster. John taffner should save it. Even though The tiki bar was renovated it looks so unprofessional with plastic shelves storing liquor to go containers and syrups out for everyone to see.The lighting in the main dining room is bright white ATROCIOUS. Like they are TRYING to give people migraines. No ambiance. Literally NOONE looks good in this lighting. Ever heard of warm white bulbs? The chairs are incredibly uncomfortable, as if they are TRYING to get people to leave, and the whole place smells like a deep fryer and fish.Pasta was awful and the chicken was slimy and disgusting. No thanks, won't be back.

We arrived at 11 when they opened. Of course outside seating was no question. Fans are on to keep you cool. We started with the crab cake( no fillers) & fish dip. Entrees fish & chips & blackened grouper with citrus coleslaw. Chocolate cake. Not over sweet! Love the remoulade sauce. Everything is made from scratch. The way it should always be. Everything do good! Debbie was our server & she was a lot of fun. Enjoy!!!

This place has zero integrity. I left valuable sunglasses there which was confirmed by the hostess when I called. I was already at the airport and she insisted they could mail them directly to me. I gave my address, name, and phone number and was told I'd be contacted for payment for shipment on Monday when the Post Office opened. Never heard back so called again and spoke to a supervisor. She refused to take payment which I should have realized was odd, but again insisted they would ship them. It's been over 30 days and I still do not have my sunglasses despite offering to pay for shipping and them confirming they have my property. While there the guests next to us had hair in their food. So I'd say their standards of care are pretty low. Take your money elsewhere.

We used to love this place. In our most recent visit the food was terrible. The service was terrible. The management was embarrassed as they should be. Ambiance is great, it's really a shame they are located near so much great fresh seafood suppliers but they're putting frozen salad shrimps in their dishes and don't know how to fry fish. The batter they're using is gross. They don't have tartar sauce? The only sauce they have is "remmy" and it's nasty unfortunately they put it on everything. I had the shrimp Alfredo and apparently they can't make an Alfredo sauce so they just put "remmy" sauce on the noodles and that's their Alfredo. We won't be going back there are better options in the area.
