Food is really good, can easily recommend the salmon, pretty establishment, service is a bit lacking. Sat solo on the patio and it took a full 10 minutes until I was greeted by a server, the entire dinner took over an hour for 1 and long periods of absence from the server.

We sat out on the patio in 90+ degrees and was comfortable. Mya was awesome and always attentive even though it was super busy. She has a great personality and we felt like she really cared. Food was excellent! You have to try the Onion Rings! Best salad we had in a long time.

Had such a nice experience here!! We had to wait a little for a table because it's father's day but the wait was definitely worth the wait! First off the service was absolutely amazing! Our server Sarah was absolutely bubbly and I appreciated such a positive experience with her personality alone! The food was amazing! To be so busy everything came out Hot and more delicious than we expected!! Also want to highlight the amazing management staff working father's day. We will definitely be back again!!

We went to Water Street Grille on Sunday evening of Labor Day weekend. The crowd was moderate, and we only had to wait 30 minutes. We were seated in the patio with waterfront view which was beautiful. The service was top notch and the food delicious. We had the pretzels and cheese for starter. I had the fried seafood platter which was just right for my taste. My wife had the chicken tacos, and they were delicious. Highly recommended.

I hadn't been to Yorktown Beach since I was younger so this restaurant wasn't on my radar to be honest, however the chicken & waffles were pretty good. Cool vibe right on the water. I'll definitely return to try other menu items.

The food was fine, the fries didn’t have much flavor. They looked better than they tasted. Server was kind and accommodating but something was missing. Lovely atmosphere, definitely ask to sit outside
