Relax and enjoy yourself as you savor some of the tastiest dishes the Caribbean has to offer. Growing up as a child in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, I came to love the local cuisine and the abundance of fresh seafood on the island. Love of the Caribbean and its food have helped make this restaurant a reality. My wonderful wife, Laurie, has a passion for Southern cooking and you will find a splendid southern twist in the menu, such as the Kentucky Hot Brown, Corn Pudding and Fried Green Tomatoes.

All our food is made fresh daily. The herbs used in our delicious dishes are grown in our garden here at the restaurant. We invite you to tour the garden and allow your taste buds to be teased by the scent of parsley, basil and rosemary and walk our boardwalk to see what’s jumping.

Thank you for visiting the Farlow’s on the Water website. We hope you choose to visit our restaurant soon.

    This being my first time there ( after hearing from many people how amazing Farloows was) and my date's second time there, we both left fully satisfied. Amazing is an understatement! The staff was friendly and attentive ( to the point one of the servers saw me taking our picture and offered to take one for us). Our server was on point with timing and information. The atmosphere was welcoming but the food, THE FOOD WAS THE EXCLAMATION POINT!!! BEYOND DEFINITION... I'll say their sweet baked potato with mango rum butter made my girlfriend a fan of sweet potato when so many other attempts failed her. Lol...You won't be disappointed with any choice, she has the swordfish ( amazing). I had the house steak ( amazing). We both had the crab cake to start ( amazing). Go there and be AMAZED!!!

    We have been to Farlows many times before and have always been satisfied with the dining experience. This time not so much. When we entered the hostess very brusquely told us that our reserved table of 6 was not ready yet. That is par for the course and was not a problem as we only had to wait 10 minutes. The waitress was very nice and took our drink orders. Two people in our party did not like their drinks at all but we did not send them back. We waited an hour and a half for our entrees as the restaurant was very crowded. 5 out of 6 of us thought our meals were mediocre at best and not worth the prices charged.

    This was our first time at Farlow’s on The Water but it won’t be our last! Excellent food and even better service by our waitress Tracy. We ate out on the covered patio which was a beautiful setting. We’d highly recommend this restaurant.

    We had five in our party and everyone ordered something different. Everything was delicious and plated beautifully. Our server Madison was delightful and made a couple of recommendation when we asked. All in all a great experience.
