    Food was fantastic. Service was terrible. We were the only ones there. The server did come back a second time. We waited to order another drink but no one came. We wanted to leave, so I found the server texting by the kitchen so I asked for my check and left after paying

    The restaurant was very nice and in a very nice location. Service was very slow. 20 minutes between our water being poured and our order taken. Food was very good.

    Very nice lunch on the water at Breakwater. Grilled seafood sampler was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the shrimp and pasta on the prixe fixe menu. The Blueberry bread pudding was delish.

    Great menu selections. Chose from the prix fixe menu. Our server was both friendly and efficient. Stormy outside but very comfortable inside. Looking forward to my next visit.

    We had a great experience at Breakwater. We had four different entrees and all were fantastic. The ambience was very comfortable. Views over the water are amazing. The noise level was low enough that it didn’t interfere with conversation.and our server, Sunny, was delightful, attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommend Breakwater.
