The Waterman Fish - Charlotte

Well if you can’t tell by the picture the oysters raw were fantastic. The seafood is fresh and we have made this a regular stop in our circle of restaurants we enjoy in Charlotte. We always eat outside on the second floor deck. If your lucky you can find a seat at the bar.Parking: Parking is in the backside of the restaurant. It’s shared parking with several stores so it’s easy to find a spot.

Came here for my friends birthday dinner around 7pm. It's located in a shopping center beside a Harris Teeter, so there are plenty of parking spots, including side street parking. Place has an open floor plan and plenty of patio and upstairs seating. It kind of reminded me of their sister restaurant Sea Level as they have an oyster bar specifically for you to sit at if you are interested in eating oysters. Our waitress was named Rebecca and she was super sweet and nice, especially to my friend since it was her birthday. We ordered around 7:30pm, and even though it was not so busy and most of us ordered salads, it did take a good 40+ minutes for us to receive our food. Wasn't a big deal as we were all chatting, but at a certain point, we were all ready to eat. Overall, I definitely liked the vibe of this place. It can be upscale but also very casual. I will definitely be coming back to try their oysters and their lunch menu.

My wife, adult daughter, and I had an early dinner here the first week of May 2023. This was our first visit. We had the raw oyster appetizer (which was free as new sign-ups to their email list), the calamari appetizer, two drinks, and two entrees. Everything was delicious, although the free oysters were a bit small. Our wait staff was friendly and attentive; service was fairly quick and we felt fairly well taken care of. Location is a half-hour drive for us, but not horrific. Plenty of parking available here. We paid $140 with 20% tip, including drinks, which seemed reasonable for three of us. We thought enough of this place that we plan to make a return visit soon.

I can’t believe it took us that long to try out the Waterman Fish Bar. We enjoyed an evening with cocktails and food on the rooftop patio. It probably has one of the best views of Charlotte, the pictures and videos doesn’t do it justice. The chicken sandwich, fried calamari and mussels were awesome. Even if you don’t like seafood there is a meal for you. They also have weekly specials, so definitely give them a follow on Instagram to stay up to date. This was not our last visit.

Excellent service and even more excellent food! We were greeted *before* we walked through the door by the friendliest host, who made us feel welcome. Our server, Mark, was attentive, helpful, and friendly. If you go, ask for his table and you won't be disappointed! Plenty of seating in this bright and airy place, and it's family-friendly.Onto the food...The cerviche was delightful--full of meat and flavor! We also ordered the hush puppies, which were a hit. For our meals, we ordered the trout (yum! and the Mug of Chowder/Side Salad with salmon. The chowder was packed with clams! You may need to add a pinch of salt to bring the flavor to ?, but it was super-delish! Gosh, you could probably order anything from their menu and be totally satisfied. ? Oh, and there is plenty of easy parking--bonus!! Give it a go! You may find The Waterman Fish Bar to be your new favorite spot. Love what you eat and who you eat with!
