We had 3 different meals & they were all delicious! Butterfly grilled shrimp, glazed salmon & Cajun whitefish all with wild rice & fresh steamed vegetables & grilled asparagus with the salmon. We also had beer cheese soup that was not too rich & very good. We shared the chocolate lava cake-fabulous! Our service was exceptional with Jonathan our server. We loved the decor & atmosphere in this older building! Very relaxing!

This is one of my favorite restaurants; the food is always excellent, staff is friendly and on the ball, and the atmosphere is fabulous. It never disappoints. Today I had the grilled Cajun whitefish, absolutely perfect sweet potato fries, and to top it all off we ordered the chocolate volcano cake, which came with a fruit salsa, and delicious ice cream —a stunning presentation! My friend, an extraordinary baker, kept saying “this is to die for.” Thank you for a special treat!

This bar was highly recommended by the locals, and we discovered why. Our bartender 'Mike' was fantastic, and was an excellent conversationalist. The food was amazing! I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich that was absolutely delicious. I overheard other patrons discussing how good their food was as well. The drinks were made perfectly. The bar is constructed of salvaged pieces from a bar that was demolished. The entire place felt rustic and comforting. The Deep Water Grill is adjacent to the Alley restaurant, and has something for everyone.

Everything about this place is great. First of all, I really liked seeing the bar separated from the dining area.once seated, our waitress was amazing. She really seemed to enjoy the job and was in a good mood while being pretty busy. I got the deep-fried white fish sandwich, and it was huge and amazing. I could not even it it all. I also got to try the Cajun white fish, and you can't go wrong either way. I highly recommend coming here for the white fish.

I was extremely impressed with this restaurant. As I was walking in and being seated looking at other people's plates made my mouth water. All of them looked so good.. The options on the menu were so good it was hard to choose.

I got the smoked ribeye with mashed potatoes and balsamic brussel sprouts, it was delicious. My steak was cooked to perfection! My husband got the shrimp and scallops scampi, he thought it was "okay", the taste was good but it was oily and he got it on his shirt. It was a unique restaurant with flare and the service was top-notch. cherry on top at Deep Water Grille is the investment they have in usig local vendors for their menu, their drinks were bomb.
