    Wonderful experience! Had outside seating only suggestion is to add fans outside as the natural breeze does not flow as freely I thought because of the decor.

    Such a cute spot. We did out door seating and had the seats with the swing- so much fun. Watching the sunset go down was AMAZING!! The staff was really good and drinks and food were good.

    Drinks were pricy, a regular cocktail was around $20. I got a mocktail and it was the price of an actual cocktail anywhere else $13. The service was kind of slow. But everyone seemed nice and the environment was really cool.

    We have been coming to the Water Street Marriott for a few years to visit our son who lives on Harbor Island. A few months ago, we moved down here from Center City Philly to be near him and the Grandkids. Now that we are residents of the Island, we've been trying various spots to entertaining our out of town family and friends. Sadly, this spot did not measure up. Service was slow.. food was undercooked. I will say the hostess tried to find us a good comfortable spot..the "stools" were terribly uncomfortable... she tried very hard.. and was very kind to show us to a great table! Once we got to the table it was slow going...The restaurant was amazing...the views amazing.. the energy of the staff was great.. but service was very slow...waited a bit for a server...and a while for our first round of drinks... unfortunately the food not great. Bao Buns were good, but the other options we tried were undercooked. sadly...we will not be back.

    Beautiful views and comfortable setting. Food is great but it is mostly apps that are shareable.

    Yes, the bites were expensive, but they were exceptionally good. Specifically, we had the shrimp rolls and the hummus dish, both which had a clean and delicious, complex flavor. I’m not about complicated food but these items were perfectly blended. The service sealed the deal. One of our party has a very specific allergy to certain oils. Do you know how hard it is to dine with food allergies??? They were so respectful and took time to select and even modify the dishes. Also we were weary travelers and the concierge stored some of our bags we had for the spa and the restaurant modified our time and location (from sunny outdoor to indoor) in a friendly way when we arrived. Then, we didn’t have to pay the expensive parking by showing our receipt. That pretty much paid for half of our little snack. I told my daughter, you get what you pay for.

    It would help if there was fun music playing especially during happy hour.
