    We stopped by The Waterfront on our way home from the beach in FL. Hadn't gotten enough seafood and fellow Yelpers helped us find this hidden gem. It's literally on the Bay, with excellent views, a classy but casual decor and outstanding food. Easy to get to just off I-10. We had the jalapeño corn bread, fried shrimp and oysters, along with side salads. Our server was in training but both were very friendly and accommodating. Only slight downer was it took a bit to get our check. Overall we had an outstanding experience and it's a repeater for us on our next trip!

    The manager Cori is the best, she got us to a table right away! We sat at bar first and had an appetizer and a fabulous bushwacker with Sarah and she was a doll!! Both of the bartenders were awesome! They made sure we had everything we needed, 1 was even sick but she did a good job! Once Cori got us seated outside, and it was beautiful overlooking the water, a young lady was our server, she was nice. I had a salad and the citrus salad dressing tasted like oil and vinegar, it was awful. I had the blackened ribeye sandwich and although the steak was very tender whatever it was dressed in was horrific! I never complained but I know if I would have Cori would have fixed it. Everyone else loved their food!

    The views are spectacular. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Fresh catch of the day options as well as a wide variety of food offerings with an elevated twist. The flounder was just ok-not a big fan of the breading-but the homemade key lime aioli was delish.

    Food was delicious ! Service was prompt & friendly. Nothing beats sitting on the outdoor covered deck viewing Mobile Bay !

    I was delightfully surprised by the quality, speed, and service I recieved at this unassuming little place. My food was great, one of the better eats i've had on my stay, and the desserts were incredible. My server, Dakota, and the other staff that assisted us were lighthearted and humorous and served our every need. I definitely recommend.

    The food was delicious, the service outstanding, and the view amazing. The cup of gumbo was some of the best I've ever had - several whole shrimp in the cup, rich and flavorful.

    Great food, atmosphere and drinks. The cobia fish of the day over wild rice and vegetables was on point! The restaurant is on the bay, beautiful sunsets. Great little hidden gem on the bay. 10/10!!

    Went for lunch, it was quiet and the views were great. The food was decent. Server was kind but felt a bit rushed.

    Here on a work trip and back at this great place. The food is so good and the service is always amazing. Is such a beautiful day for sitting outside and the ambiance is casual and perfect for solo eating and groups. I will be back

    I came here for dinner when they opened at 5 so I could guarantee myself a spot overlooking the water. It was great timing on my part. I watched all those fish jumping while I enjoyed several appetizers and a drink. It was beautiful. Great place to enjoy the sunset too!

    We arrived around 4:15 pm and were greeted by 3 lovely young ladies and we requested to be seated outside. This was our first visit and the view did not disappoint! While we were waiting on our food the birds put on a show. Kennedy our server was extremely friendly and on top of her game. I had the shrimp tacos blackened and the mango salsa was delicious! My friend had the special which was the cheeseburger and he said the beef was fresh ground and fully covered. He will definitely order again. One of the best cheeseburger's he has had. Because of the service and the view we will be back to try other great food!!! FYI, looking at our check they do charge a Credit Card Surcharge of (3.00%). We asked but our server said no, so I am giving her the benefit that she was not aware.

    The location and view are amazing. The food and service were just okay. Nothing bad enough to really complain about, just not good enough to return for. I would totally go back for drinks on that deck, though!

    Panini Pete has done it again. The food and drinks are very good, but pale in comparison to the amazing view of the Bay.

This was definitely worth the extra star, even if Yelp got with the 90's and allowed .5 stars it would be 5 worthy !! Stopped in late, just as they were closing...nice spot right on the Bay...although you wouldn't know it if you didn't drive up or live here...I guess you would know that... They were just closing the kitchen down and were only open till 8, I came in on the late side of 7:30! I ordered quick and got a drink, wanted a Manhattan but took some bourbon on the rocks in its place! Did some fried oysters, came with hush-puppies and two side! Did beans and fries, I have a thing about fried potatoes so I thought I would throw in a real vegetable! Food came out quick, perfectly done and so fresh! Beans were really good, fries were way better than regular fries but the oysters were the bomb! Fresh, perfectly fried with just a nice light batter! I don't get the chance to have nice fresh oysters that are flash fried, still soft in the middle, with that salt taste on them...the batter taking nothing away from them, just adding to the freshness! Great service, nice conversation with a customer and the bartender, just good old conversation! Good food, good people sharing good stories! That is a local spot, that is the beautiful thing about food and the reason we all go out! Like being at home, but with fresher oysters! Highly recommended! KT

However, were we're very pleasantly surprised to find that the new ownership, a Jamaican woman is also gluten free and fully intends to expand GF options to include GF onion rings on the appetizer list. She is currently deciding which menu items will be replaced with more requested items. The new owner is a friendly, warm person with a feel for greeting and making diners feel welcome. We were greatly relieved that she has great Jamaican recipes that will add to the otherwise seafood specialties. My wife has been GF for several years and has been unable to enjoy most fried foods including seafood due to wheat flour. However, we were able to enjoy a wonderful GF fried seafood platter and only the hush puppies were not GF. We also had the delicious crab bisque that is also GF. I am fortunate to NOT be allergic to anything so I was treated to a delicious chocolate truffle that is absolutely the best. This delicacy will soon be available GF. If you are looking for a coastal restaurant with GF options in the Mobile or Daphne causeway area, you should try the Elite Pierhouse restaurant. You won't be dissatisfied. Great food, spectacular views and really good service with moderate prices. Not fast food, but really great southern seafood with Jamaican flare.

What initially intrigued me was…read morethe crab claws, I was kravin' some I asked the host the seat me somewhere I can watch the Seahawks vs 49ers game. He said, pick and choose. My waitress was a very extroverted personality, easy going and socialable. Her name is Lauren (hope I spelled that correctly) But I asked for some recommendations on various things. She gave me her honest opinion about it. Which I appreciates. Most people would try to gaslight/upsell she didn't. I end up getting the pick 3. Grilled crabcake, grilled crab claws and blackened suwait fish. As I waited I observed the decor, it was your standard marina style. Nothing crazy. I got my food in a decent time frame. But wow the food tasted amazing! Everything was so flavorful, I devoured the entire plate. Nothing left but garnishment! However the gumbo was good, not great. Before I left, it was halftime and the Seahawks was dominating the game! Overall, I would comeback, thanks again Lauren for excellent customer service!
