We also enjoyed the crab chowder, which was a big hit for everyone. Service was excellent, and we felt right at home. It's not just a place to eat; it's an experience worth having again and again!

I'd definitely come back, but I hope for a quicker service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've heard mixed things about Water Street Bistro, but my experience was fantastic. The lobster mac and cheese was rich and satisfying, and I even had a piece of their famous quiche, which was delightful. The atmosphere was cozy, though I imagine it can get busy at peak times. Overall, a great spot for a hearty meal with friends! " (*Curated Review*)
