Watersview Restaurant

My friends & family have eaten here many times since it opened. As I was reading the other reviews, I discovered there are some harsh ones & that surprised me. Most restaurants have a bad night occasionally. So, that’s par for the course,… Except when it happens to you. This weekend the place was hopping! We had to park up on the hill, the lot was so crowded. The overflowing wait line, all the way out the door, was intimidating. However, we were determined to stay & enjoy our dinner. V went in to see how long the wait & to put our name on the wait list. A lovely lady, who had just walked in & started to engage the host, V very politely informed the lady that she was next. The lady was embarrassed & apologized and V, being «raised up right», smiled & started saying that was ok, it’s so crowded, blah blah… when the host, told V to relax, everyone would have their turn. As Mother Hen, standing in the back & listening, my feathers were ruffled. The host took our name & in response to ‘how long is the wait time?’, he had no idea. We’d find out for ourselves. The feathers were ruffled a bit more. I suggested to the family that we leave. V over ruled me, saying she hoped we don’t get on the other list,(s – t list… Which I thought was a valid statement), but we should wait.
The one good thing about having to wait with a bunch of customers before you… some are going to get ‘ticked off’ and leave, making your wait shorter, which is exactly what happened. Turns out the host had a dry sense of humor, he was funny and engaging. Joking with V about the name of a town she left with him for the call up. So, our wait was much shorter than we had thought, which is always a good thing.
The place was packed, which is normal for this restaurant on the weekends. Our server was Beth. She was friendly and accommodating. I thought our wait at the table would be longer, but it wasn’t at all. The food was excellent, as it has always been here. I had the Grilled Shrimp, Hubby had Scallops & Pasta, V had the Trio Pasta (3 different seafood selections),
& I can’t remember what B ordered, but he said it was great! Our water glasses were never empty & neither was Hubby’s tea glass.
As with any resort restaurant, there will be a wait during the season. However, the wait is worth it at The Watersview.
Just a side note: are you a people watcher? I am & I love it! I noticed something about our group that night. Do you know how Mommies & Daddies entertain their kids during a ‘wait’…for anything (food, movie, taking turns on toys or rides, etc.)? I was antsy about waiting, B & V turned a group game on their phone to entertain …(or distract?)…us during the wait! AHHHHHH, the tables have turned, it seems! Hubby & I are entering the «we are more child-​like & have no patience» stage. My hat’s off the B & V, quick thinking & good job!

Dined here on Saturday night.
It was so bad, I hardly know where to start.
1. Impossible to have a conversation because of a deafening karaōke lounge singer.
2. Freezing cold. Needed a fleece all evening.
3. $ 4 for a small plate of lettuce — a «salad».
This place is truly awful.
