" This is a solid fish place! I specifically loved the blackened swordfish; it had the right amount of seasoning. Service was prompt, but I had hoped for a little more personal interaction. I wish I could have tried their crab cakes; maybe next time! Definitely coming back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The sushi here has a unique twist that really impressed me! I ordered the Godzilla roll and it was fantastic! I was a bit disappointed with the service initially, but the staff quickly turned it around. The atmosphere could use some updating, but overall a great experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a great choice for fresh seafood lovers. The fried calamari was perfectly crispy and delicious. My only concern was the interior decor, which felt a bit stale. But don't let that deter you from the authentic flavors they deliver in their dishes. We will come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" We really enjoyed our meal at Waterfront. The fried shrimp was good, but I have to say, the crab cakes were just out of this world! I wish we could have found some more variety in the drink menu. The service was overall friendly and efficient, though we did wait a little long for our desserts. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down the best seafood spot in Ankeny! The freshness of the ingredients is outstanding. The crab soup had so much depth; I was amazed! The staff was very attentive and friendly, which always enhances a dining experience. I’ll make it a point to return regularly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently hosted a group dinner at Waterfront Seafood Market, and it was a hit! Everyone raved about the lobster tails, and the staff made sure we enjoyed our time there. The only thing I'd like to see is improved ventilation; it got a bit warm inside. Overall, I'm happy to support local eateries like this! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful lunch at Waterfront! The chowder was to die for, and I loved the fresh sourdough. The service crew was friendly and attentive. Only downside was the restaurant was a bit noisy, making it hard to have a conversation. Other than that, I look forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)
