    This was a great location to watch the boat parade. Unfortunately, we had reservations and they wouldn’t let us get seated until all of our party showed up, later on they told us that they don’t usually do that when you have reservations so that was unfortunate The food is marginal, but again this was a great place to watch the boat parade.

    Great location and ambiance. I have dined here previously with positive results. This time the Calamari was not very good and very stringy. We did not finish the Calamari as it was not appetiziing. The fish and chips were also disappointing due to the quite small fish portions. Prices are overpriced for the lack of quality food delivered during this visit. On a positive note, our server Justin was very good. I shared my concerns about the calamari with Justin. He was very courteous and apologetic however there was no offer to drop the cost of this unsavory appetizer from the bill. All in all, a nice place for drinks at sunset. I doubt I'll be back...

    Been here a few times in the past 3-4 months. This is a great outdoor spot. Beautiful view of the Marina. We had the fresh tuna nachos. Delicious! Unfortunately everything else was blah. Fish and chips: the fish was rubbery. The sourdough bread was cold in the inside and warm in the outside. Probably had been frozen. Crab chowder wasn’t as good as other times I’ve had there before.

    The food was a bit expensive, but considering quality and location, it was great.Cappuccino machine wasn't working, which didn't matter that much, but server didn't offer up other alternatives. Outside of that server was friendly and attentive. The setting can't be beat!

    The setting is Divine! The service was excellent! The heaters outside were perfect. This is the setting that makes memories. We enjoyed our time together here. I would simply say that west coast prices are just breathtakingly high and yet with all of my research Edgewater was the more affordable of everything else. They need some type of Happy Hour for sunsets in the Fall/Winter and at least on Friday, right? Maybe that’s where they make up the relatively lesser prices. But QC, Quality Control is needed. What are the odds, but a small sharp piece of glass fell off my husband’s drink! They replaced it but no effort to compensate. My mushroom risotto was really good but I got a couple bites of sand. That’s never happened before and as if that weren’t enough I am certain I pulled a hair from it but I convinced myself the cheese was stringy at the end of dinner, though nothing else was like that. I just let those go. But attention to such preparation details make the difference, yes?

    The wait staff were great but the food was not. The oysters did not taste fresh and every one had pieces of shell inside it. The crab cakes tasted ok but the combo with chopped tomatoes was not complementary The seared scallops were covered in a sauce but otherwise were ok. The vegetables accompanying the scallops were so undercooked it was difficult to cut with a knife. Luckily raw carrots and cauliflower are good sources of fiber The last mistake was ordering the tiramisu which is advertised as containing mascarpone. It was definitely made with crème cheese rather than mascarpone, it tastes like a weird combo of cheesecake and ladyfingers All in all, despite the excellent service and beautiful view of the sea I won’t come back because the food was not good

    The view was beautiful. The food was great but it was the staff that was truly phenomenal. Very kind and accommodating. I would choose it again.
