Swedish meatballs

This was absolutely wonderful. The service was amazing friendly and observant. The food was fabulous from the bread and salad wedge with house made blue cheese dressing, roasted corn poblano soup for starters. The entrees that we had were Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and peas, shrimp, scallops, and lump crap pasta with Alfredo sauce. The people were amazing. The atmosphere was warm and inviting.

I have lived in the area for 11 years and this was the first time I stopped in during a girls night dinner with my friend who was familiar with Rubaiyat. The food was amazing I enjoyed it! Every single dish was so flavorful and I recommend all of them! My friend who is Vegan had plenty of options and the chef and waitresses were very accommodating with giving her options. It was very nice calm environment to enjoy your meal! Very friendly staff and great menu. Definitely will be stopping again and adding to places to eat! Wednesday $2 off appetizers and $5 wine perfect for a night out!

Bread that comes with most meals - olive oil salt and pepper (already ground) at table

The food was excellent! It's pricier but probably worth it here. I would recommend they add more dressing to the side salad. We had the Chicken Carbonara and Seafood Pasta. It was a Thursday night and was pretty busy.

We had by far one of the best dining experiences here. The staff is friendly and the ambiance is cozy and warm. The food is top notch and well thought out. They have a great wine and drink selection as well. Steph and Kim are awesome hosts! The chef even checked on us and was down to earth and great to meet!

Greek style rock shrimp - yummy!

We are SO incredibly sad to hear this fine establishment will be closing its doors this coming…read moreMarch. While not always on the menu, ask for a raspberry lemon drop and you won't regret it. The BEST one I've ever had. I will be begging the bartenders to teach me their ways before they close their doors. This is our top choice in town to celebrate accomplishments and achievements. The tavern and patio offer a more casual ambiance, while the restaurant itself is chic and has an element of more formality. The staff is always ALWAYS incredible and thoughtful. The food is always on point, interesting, and flavorful. This place will be well-missed come March, but I know I will be back here plenty in the mean time to get my fill and and support this staff before then.

The Waterfront is truly a very special restaurant. We were in the area and were so in love with how…read morebeautiful it was along the Mississippi River walking path that we dropped by here for an early dinner. We were so fortunate that they were able to seat us on the outdoor patio facing the water. This restaurant isn't just great for the views--the food and drinks here were phenomenal as well. Our appetizers of beer-battered cheese curds and mussels were so flavorful and hit the spot. We also loved our fish tacos and linguini with scallops (I absolutely loved the crushed red pepper that came with it too!). Our food all paired nicely with their extensive cocktail/drinks menu, which included many different breweries and distilleries. This is one of those restaurants you'll remember visiting forever--definitely come visit if you can!
