    Our meal was delicious and the service was very good. We had intended to eat on the outside terrace, but the weather was a bit cool, so we had a table by the window. The restaurant was not busy, despite being a Saturday night, and it definitely felt like it was most frequented by guests of the hotel - which we were not.

    We went on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend when we scored a reservation with Open Table. We chose to sit inside because it was a bit cold and windy out. Shared small plates and beers and had a lovely dinner. Some were fantastic: the Crudites bowl was a huge variety of fresh and interesting vegetables over ice including pea sprouts, complete baby radishes, colored varieties of cauliflower and more, all with a house-made goddess dip. At the other end, the lobster Bao were a small amount of tasty food for the price. Overall, we were happy with the food quality, the service and the quiet environment.

    We enjoyed a lovely Mother's Day late lunch/early dinner. The food was delicious, very unique and presented beautifully. The restaurant's location is fantastic, tastefully decorated and spacious making for a comfortable and relaxing experience. The service was excellent, as it was a very busy day, we received much attention with a very friendly staff.

    Love the ambiance but the food has been not good in the last few years. Finally, a new menu and better. I live near by and stopped dining here in spite of a great staff and lovely surroundings. The food and menu was a turnoff. Im pleased to say things have changed. Had a nice small plate this week, ahi tuna. Delicious! Also had halibut last week. Was terrific. No bread served without charge or those wonderful poppyseed muffins. And whats a restaurant without a caesar salad on the menu. Please reconsider that. Everyone’s staple -with sides.

    One of my most favorite restaurants with waterview and great service. The only one thing I noticed when I step into the restaurant was the strong seafood smell, which might go perfectly well with high tea. May some ventilation could easily solve this.

    Our table was not ready we didn't get to sit down until almost 20 minus later, and then felt a little rushed to be done by 11:30. The level of noise was very high for the location and this type of restaurant. There was a family with young kids that were screaming and running around all the time, and neither the parents nor the restaurant did anything to asked them to quiet down.

    A most enjoyable and beautifully prepared, presented, and served luncheon of fried Maine Scallops. The atmosphere is bright, clean, open, Waterview and welcoming. Maria, the hostess, welcomed me and my experience went from her greeting to being welcomed by Rafael, the waiter, to manager, later, clearing the table. Rafael provided careful, competent, sincere service. I thoroughly appreciated his personality as he served us our lunch. I will return. The view, quality and presentation of food, and high quality service is consistent and makes for a special experience dining at Rowes Wharf Sea Grille.
