My sister brought me here for my birthday and I'm glad she did. The food was exceptional and the waitress was also. P.s if they let you know that a certain drink is strong. Please believe them, lol
It's such a great place to eat nice seafood. We ordered 2 dishes: 1. Fish & Chips $17. Tilapia was cooked excellently (you can see in the photo how shimmering inside), and the house green salad was fresh; a sauce for fish was yummy. My rate is 4.9 from 5. My concern is how the fries were cooked. It was a little bit overcooked. 2. Garlic cream shrimp $26. If you order this dish, you will obviously find 10 beautiful shrimp cooked in enshrouded creamy garlic sauce. The rice is the ideal garnish here. The salad is fresh, like in the first dish. The service was polite and quick. The waiting time from order to serve was 10 minutes ( Saturday 6.30 pm). Great job! It's good to reserve a table in advance because there were entire people when we finished. Huge parking lots are closed. Thank you!
Good food. Fries were especially good, crispy and hot. Excellent service. A little noisy and hard to see what would be nice views of the marina but I was stuck inside due to the weather. Outdoor seating looks great for a nice day.
First time visiting this town and found this gem! We went there for dinner and ordered the fish in cream sauce, shrimp in cream sauce and a clam chowder in a bread bowl. The following day we went again for lunch. This time we ordered calamari fritti, huevos rancheros, camarones kora and salmon. Food is amazing. Staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely would recommend The Waterfront Grill and Cafe. Would I go back if I’m in town? Definitely!
Had a nice lunch here on a rainy day. The house margarita was perfect. I added chicken to the Greek salad and it did not disappoint. My son ate all of his French toast and nearly all of the fish and chips plate which is a big win since he is a picky eater. Overall, a nice spot to enjoy some good food with views of the Pittsburg marina.
I’ve gone back to this place several times with different friends and family. The servers are friendly and attentive. The cooks always ask how the food was. Overall 5/5. Love the outdoor seating so I can always bring my pup. Food DELICIOUS ! Go and support locally and enjoy a good meal.
