The food was good and the view was very nice, however multiple problems with the service (ours and those around us) landed this at just an average experience. They were under-staffed, and/or had too many inexperienced staff, for the volume on Memorial Day weekend and an ongoing wedding. Service was very slow and they lost our salad order (and it... More

I had the lobster ravioli which was great. My husband had a steak and that was very good also. The staff was very friendly. For an expensive resort, we thought the price wasn't bad but we're used to paying top level prices for food and lodging.

What a horrible experience. I hate the restaurant being on multilevels. Asked to be seated on same level as food(mobility issues). Bad table in main walkway but whatever. The food was very good, although selection was not large. Service was non-existent. Dirty plates piled up and was unable to flag down a server for a beverage refill. Get bill (... More

I made reservations at Water's Edge two weeks in advance because it was a special occasion and I wanted to reserve a table with a water view, which I requested on their online reservation system. I received two emails with a confirmation, but when we arrived, our name was "not in the computer." (although I had the confirmation email available... More

Brunch here is very busy, but a winner. Excellent value and you can't beat the view. We have also held small family parties here in the private alcove off the dining room. Food is always top quality. Held a family wedding here and couldn't be happier.

My wife and I ate there the evening of February 23, 2013. From the moment that we were seated, we were treated like royalty. The first item that we were served was a roasted pepper hummus accompanied with a flat bread cracker. This set the tone for the entire meal with it's complex, yet subtle flavor. As our appetizer, we... More
