We ate here twice in a 3 night stay. First night was definitely best - we had a table outside on the decking. The atmosphere was great, really lively but not noisy & annoying. Food was lovely - fairly simple for what we found in America, which was exactly what we wanted - lots of options without sauces, simply cooked... more

Rare is the occasion that every thing seems to perfect - Our dinner at Backwaters was exceptionally good. First - there was no wait, my date and I were greeted by a nice young lady who truly welcomed us - not a fake welcome like most places give you.... " we're glad your here - spoken sincerely. Would you like... more

This is a great resturant tucked away in a strip mall near the Sand Key Mariott and Sheraton. The atmosphere is great, especially if you score an outside table on the waters edge. The food is great, best grouper sandwich I have had! At certain times during the day, the service is a bit slow, but the staff is pleasant... more

We are a very picky family of 4 -- My son which is 6 tried shrimp for the 1st time and liked it. My mother who lathers A-1 on her steak, did not even ask for steak sauce! The house salad is served with a great raspberry vinagrette dressing and walnuts-- yummy! The bread is good... they are a little... more

My husband and i walked over from the Marriott Suites for dinner as hubby wanted the stuffed grouper. It was croweded and service was very slow. The wait staff had tables all over the restaurant including outdoors so we didn't see her that oftern. The lobster bisque was good and draft beers cheap. The chicken parmesean was large and good... more

It isn't the best seafood in town in my opinion. me and both my parents shared the tuna salad on some type of leafy greens. the strawberrys on it were some of the sweetest strawberrys I've ever had. the tuna salad was ever so slightly strong and fishy tasting, but still enjoyable. for me, the best part of the restaurant... more

Excellent!

We have eaten here a few times on our visits to Florida. It's just excellent but we have good memories as we had our wedding dinner there. Try to get a table out on the deck and overlook the inland waterway. The staff have always been excellent. more
