    They changed their menu since the last time I visited. It's still a nice place to go for a meal.

    Nice waiter is the only thing positive I can say. Lukewarm food. 40 minutes for drinks. Got oysters appetizer after we wrapped up our meals. Slow slow slow. I cancelled my second beer because I finished my meal before it arrived. Wish we went elsewhere, anywhere. Wife got sick, knocking my 2 star rating to 1 star.

    Unfortunately, we didn’t dine with Water Street Grill after all. We reserved through Open Table, and that was fine. However, when I called to ask if we could add our 7 year old grandson, because our babysitter fell through, we were told they could accommodate us in an outside heated tent, the manager added that it was comfortable. I said fine, but when we got there, all the tables positioned in the center of the tent, directly under the heaters above, were filled, and we were seated off to the side of the tent where there were no heaters. It was drafty and cold. So, we went back inside and told the manager we were leaving because it would be miserable to sit and try and enjoy a dinner in the cold draft. I’m sure he was overwhelmed with it being Valentine’s Day, and I didn’t think to ask, but he could have suggested a 3rd chair at our already reserved table. Instead, he told us the tent was heated and comfortable. No, it wasn’t heated and comfortable on the sides of the tent where they wanted to put us. Lesson learned. Lol. However, it was a disappointment. There are so many good places to dine in the local areas, we won’t be back.

    This restaurant needs a refresh. A coat of paint and new furniture would do wonders.

    Very nice Christmas Eve lunch in this bar/restaurant on Yorktown’s “modern” water front. Appetizer was great, entrees were good and the dessert was spectacular. Nice views and extremely friendly service. Visit the book/antique shop across the street for fun nostalgia.

    The restaurant didn’t look as nice on the inside as the outside. The waitress was great. The food was ok.

    Great food and service and the outdoor seating was nice. Busy atmosphere until after 7pm but then quieted down. Food selection is good and craft beer menu changes often but has solid choices.

    "What an incredible dining experience! From the mouthwatering beef tenderloin to the pink-coated chef who treated us like royalty at the carving station, every bite felt like a taste of perfection. Julia our server was an absolute gem, chatting away and making us feel right at home, she's extremely good at her job. And that themed cocktail with Gin and St. Germain? Oh, it was like sipping on sunshine! The view of the river from our window seat was simply breathtaking, and even the manager swung by to ensure our happiness. With over 20 years in the biz, I've gotta say, this was top-notch. Easter tradition? You betcha!"
