From the reviews
Our family of 4 enjoyed a delicious dinner at On The Waterfront. We ate on the deck and had a beautiful view of the water and boats. Our server was quite attentive, friendly, and professional. We started with a basket of bread and butter, chicken wings, and French onion soup. Our entrées were great.
Beautiful waterfront restaurant. We had no expectations as we were just hungry from a day of travel and surprisingly everything was delicious! The calamari and lobster mac are two must-try's! Our server Jose was really kind and thorough. The fish and chips were so good I wish there was more.
We went today and had server Allen, who was phenomenal. Views were great , food was delicious and pricing was fair . We did not get dessert but it looked incredible! FYI : Parking is on the street.

Getting married at On The Waterfront Restaurant
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
