Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Waldo

Fantastic experience!! Due to a change of plans, we arrived about an hour early for our reservation on Christmas Eve and they were kind enough to accommodate us right away. I also want to mention that we originally booked a standard table but the high top was even better for the views and ambiance. We sat right in front of the most beautiful mahogany bar and got to watch the bartenders climb up and down the super high ladder. The food was all exceptional but the baked pimento cheese tray was to die for. The fresh baked sourdough bread was also phenomenal. We had mostly seafood and everything was delicious.

Wonderful night on the plaza, it was Christmas Eve, the afternoon crowd was perfectly controlled.

Always such a good time. Great atmosphere, great food and great drinks. My husband recently found out he’s gluten intolerant and they have a lot of gluten free options noted on the menu. Our server was great at answering any questions we had. The “D” Cup cocktail was yummy and definitely would get again. We tried the steak tartare and a couple rolls to start and all were fantastic. Too many good entrees to list that we like but you can’t go wrong with any. This is a restaurant we will continue to visit every year over Christmas when in town!

We dined at McCormick's & Schmick's on December 23rd with a reservation for an anniversary celebration. The meal and service were wonderful! However, we were seated in the back room with no view. With reservations and with advanced notice of a special occasion, we would have expected a table with more ambiance rather than stuck in the back room. There was also a table of 3 (with reservations) that checked in after us, they were seated before us and they were seated in the main front dining area; seems reservations should receive priority seating.

Loved everything was wonderful! However we were sat at a tiny table in corner by window and we could not move our legs. Very uncomfortable. That table looks right at the table 3 feet away. Felt like I was apart of their conversation. I am sure they felt like they were being spied on.
