Waterfront Restaurant

We had a wonderful time. Service was great and not rushed. We were celebrating our anniversary and enjoyed watching the sunset while sharing a bottle of wine. We enjoyed our entire meal and would come again.

We've had a wonderful culinary experience at Waterfront Restaurant. If you're seated outside you're practically on the water, looking over the harbor and lake Michigan. The service was exceptional and the food was very good. We had grilled white fish fillet, halibut fillet, and fish and chips, as well as a burrata salad with prosciutto, arugula, and cantaloupe. The salad was amazing and the fish dishes were very good. We skipped dessert - there weren't many options, though the carrot cake looked good :)

Had an incredible meal here last week while my wife and I were on our honeymoon.

First, the service here is excellent. No question, some of the best I've experienced.

The food, on another level. You can tell a great restaurant when they don't have salt & pepper on the table, because the food is perfectly seasoned and executed when it comes out.

We had some delicious food that I will never forget, from the roasted tomato bisque and truffle pasta we had for apps, to the lamb and salmon for the entrée, it was one of the best complete meals I've ever had.

It lived up to what you would expect. Service was good, food was good, everything was on par with the expensive price that we were paying. No complaints.
Ceaser salad was great, we enjoyed the fish and chips, calamari and Cajun shrimp with grits. Salmon dip was okay, they could have made it better. Carrot cake and creme brulee were good as well.

$181 for two of us after tip.

My husband and I are on our honeymoon and absolutely loved our dinner here. Everything was outstanding. Definitely the restaurant for a fancy, delicious dinner out. Rivals some of our favorite upscale restaurants in Chicago.

Excellent dinner, great view of the sunset. Food was perfectly prepared, fresh and creative. My Halibut was outstanding as was my husband's steak. Expensive, yes and worth it.

Lobster bisque! Oh my wow, best thing I've ever eaten. Wow! Half plates are nice, my wife and I shared lamb chops, scallops and the crab cakes. 2 soups and three half meals, one glass of wine was $100 total. Awesome dinner and a nice walk on the dock after was a great cap to an awesome meal. Romantic spot.

Love this place! Great food, great service, and incredible views! Jason, our server was so great! His banter is gold and great at the job! We had the oysters, salads, and the fish & chips! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

We came right at 4:45pm to make sure to get a good seat to enjoy the sunset and got a great table. We enjoyed the special salad, marinated olives, cocktails, ribeye, and flourless chocolate cake. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, we always want more sides, but the spring onions were especially good. The cake was perfect. The espresso martini was the favorite cocktail of the night. Our service was very good for the first hour and then probably as it got busier it we felt abandoned for a bit, but we greatly enjoyed our server. Definitely will be back.

Was here for New Years eve dinner. The 4 course menu was amazing. The ambiance was great. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our server was amazing. The food was wondrous. I cannot wait to go back again.

A open space overlooking Sister Bay. The staff is attentive. The cocktails are well crafted. The lobster bisque is the best I have had in some time.

Beautiful upscale dining in Sister Bay with an amazing view of the water and wonderful service! Highly recommend for a date night or anniversary dinner and come early to enjoy drinks on the patio or a walk in the marina! The food and drinks are wonderful, the lobster bisque is a must, only wish we still had room to try dessert! Highly Recommend for an upscale fine dining experience in Door County!

Don’t take this lightly, this is quite literally the best spot in Door County. The food is absolutely amazing, no matter what you order and the view, especially for sunsets, is unmatched paired with a terrific cocktail.

On top of that, they are incredibly accommodating for gluten free/celiac needs. Our server Kady was fantastic in explaining our options and putting our worries to rest. We highly recommend the tostadas and tenderloin sliders. Best food we had all week.

Always always always great good, service, and friendliest staff. This is our "fancy date night place" in Door County. My in-laws, who live in DoCo, frequent this place as well. The current menu favorites are the ravioli, halibut, prawns. The seasonal salad is amazing, as are the calamari!

The best tomato soup of my life, amazing dishes, great service, a beautiful view! We celebrated our tenth anniversary with dinner here and it was perfect.

While still casual, this is one of the few restaurants in Door County where you'll need to remove your hat to dine. A nice change. My wife and I both had the halibut and risotto. The risotto was perfectly cooked and along with the asparagus, perfectly complemented the halibut, which was just slightly overcooked. The view is great as was the service. Highly recommend for a more romantic dinner in Door County.

Was a very enjoyable meal. Great view of sunset, worth calling ahead for a window reservation! Wonderful service!

I wasn't sure if the atmosphere would be too bougie, but it was AMAZING!! Everything was. From the view, to the service, to the food. It was the perfect dinner. Thank you!

Waterfront is a sort of blink and you may miss it restaurant located a little north of Sister Bay. It's neatly tucked in between a condo and a Mexican restaurant, but the food and ambiance suggest anything but being a hide away. Their seafood and fish offerings are on par with some of the heavy hitters to the south in Milwaukee or even Chicago and I especially enjoyed the service and the pacing of the meal. Our server was attentive but not overbearing and even asked how we liked our food brought our, which was nice. I highly, highly recommend both the tomato and seafood soups (bisque). Oh my, my mouth is watering just mentioning these two. The roasted tomato really stood out here, but the fried phyllo dough wrapped around the goat cheese really added that extra punch. The seafood bisque was delectably smooth and had just the right hint of umami with that background of lobster and crab flavor. I used the sourdough to soak up the leftovers... oh so good! We also truly enjoyed the shrimp with the grits... although so creamy and unctuous, I would liken them to polenta or risotto! Our entrees were well thought out with the scallops being the best choice here. The brown butter was a great compliment to the seared scallops and really added some flavor depth. I also truly loved the pesto risotto. Dessert was a chocolate fudge mousse and I didn't quite understand how small it was until I dove into and realized... it was the perfect size for how decadent and luxurious this was. It truly was a deep chocolate fudge mousse... you couldn't have too much or it would certainly overwhelm! I would recommend this restaurant for travelers to Door County. It certainly ranks up there in terms of seafood restaurants.

Amazing water front dinner with mussels and mahi-mahi. There is research in the kitchen! Amazing place if you are on a date. The service was great and loved the sunset view outside. The servers do not put pressure to accelerate your time and you feel welcome to stay and snjoy the view at your own pace.
Definitely pinned on the 'want to go back' location list!
