About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Romantic

At Waters Restaurant – Sundance Square, we source the freshest wild, seasonal, and sustainable seafood available. Our style brings together flavors of the southwest, with hints of Louisiana, but our featured ingredients themselves typically speak the loudest. Our Signature Gumbo hastens back to some Creole roots when Jon Bonnell cooked in the French Quarter of New Orleans, while our beef gets the royal treatment Chef Felli has made famous for much of his career. Diver scallops from Maine get a slight TexMex makeover after being perfectly golden-crust-seared, while jumbo lump crabcakes celebrate beautifully fresh crab as their essence, never loaded with fillers just to save a buck. We will never utilize third-world fish farms, cheap seafood substitutes, artificial flavorings, or exploit threatened species at Waters. We strive for only the best experience for our guests, while at the same time being good stewards of our environment and our future.

Bright light, lacked ambiance. The food was not what was expected as a high end restaurant. The bread was just plain white loaf - expecting usually different type specialty bread at this type restaurant. Seafood heavily dominated by shellfish, challenging menu for my husband’s medical condition which cannot have shellfish. The steak was supposed to be 8 oz filet. I weigh my food every day as a bodybuilder and eat filet twice a day… this steak was 4 oz at best. This is not first restaurant I have seen this. What restaurants are allowed to get away with to cut costs. And then there was the asparagus my steak came with, which should’ve been sold more as just a garnishment since it was three pieces of the very thin asparagus. I wouldn’t go to this restaurant again.
