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.

    Very popular restaurant serving a fusion of Southern and Caribbean cuisines. This is reflected in both their food and drink menus. Rojo pork roast and chicken and waffles were the delicious selections we enjoyed. Service was attentive, drinks were tasty. Reservations are a must!

    Our waitress Sarah I believe was her name was like a space cadet , she would stop and talk as fast as she could and before we could say much she was off to someone else , every time we needed something it was forever to get it . We asked for drink refills and towards the end we got them, she would zoom past us so fast we couldn’t even get her to pay action long enough to stop ,when i ordered ribeye ,veggies and a sweet potato , I made sure to ask to please not give me their special butter due to not liking it. When it came that butter came with it, Some other person brought our meal to us and left , I started eating my steak and it tasted nothing like I have always enjoyed was looking forward to it all week . I realized that the butter had spilled onto the plate and my steak and potato was swimming in a puddle of it . I only ate a small about of it , it took to long for our waitress to come back to have anything done and I was with someone else so it felt awkward to say anything . It’s a shame because I have never had service like this in all the years going there . It took forever to give us our check after asking for it then took a long time for her to come back to take our money . I brought my left over home but ended up tossing it because of the taste so I pretty much tossed $45.00 in the trash .
