" While I had high hopes for The Waterboy, I found the food to be lacking in some areas. The service was friendly, but a bit slow, and the duck I ordered was unfortunately a bit overcooked. On a positive note, the atmosphere was lovely, and I appreciated the effort put into the decor. I might give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" At first I was hesitant to try a location with such a focus on seasonal ingredients, but my fears were unfounded. The pressure of being local truly shines through in their dishes. Highly recommend the halibut. The ambiance alone is enough to make this a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" tried The Waterboy last weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. I had the duck and it was beautifully presented, tender, and bursting with flavor. The staff was attentive and guided us perfectly through the wine selection. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)
