Great food with specials we appreciated, inspiring us to try something new. Pleasant, accommodating staff quickly greeted and sat us, without a reservation. The sunset views while dining were beautiful.

This is a really solid waterfront seafood place. Our bartender was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. We tried a bunch of dishes, standouts were the raw oysters and the clam chowder (which is pescatarian!). We would definitely return here.

Had their hot lobster roll!Sooooo delicious! Pricey, but worth it for a special occasion. Wasn't fond of the coleslaw but the sweet potato fries were also good.
Sat on the deck on the water on a beautiful day! Gorgeous!!!

Food was phenomenal! From service to view, everything was perfect. I know reviews talk about a long wait but it was nice waiting with a drink by the water. I definitely recommended these drinks: Aperol Sprits frozen and the bloody Mary. For for food: the hot lobster roll, blackened chicken tacos, fried fish tacos, the burrito, and the shrimp and fries.

We really enjoyed our meal and sitting out on the deck next to the water. It's a beautiful location, and the service was excellent. Our server Trina was great, made some good suggestions and made us feel like long-time friends.

The only thing this place needs to work on are the bathrooms. Both my wife and I were a bit surprised by the gross conditions of the men's and women's bathrooms. You can't help but wonder if this is carrying over to the kitchen.

Great location with good food. Lobster roll was amazing. Seafood medley was good. Gluten free kids pasta could’ve been better—especially with the almost $dollar upcharge just for the gluten free option which is a little absurd for the quality. Other than that, we would love coming back.

We had a reservation for 8 at 11:30 am (opening time) but unfortunately waited over an hour for our food. I got a seafood pasta for $34 while others got seafood sandwiches/salads. The pasta was supposed to have garlic parmesan but the garlic taste was astronomically light. The amount of seafood, specifically lobster, was small in quantity and I disagree with the choice for penne as long pasta tends to complement seafood. The portion was fairly small for this, meanwhile, for $32, you could get a scrumptious lobster roll. THAT was definitely worth the price, so I just wouldn't recommend the seafood pasta. I am unsure if I would like to come back but the food is definitely good!

Went to Breakwater for lunch this afternoon. We had Allie as our server, super knowledgeable, friendly and paid great attention to detail. The restaurant is right on the water with lots of natural light pouring in, not a bad spot in the house! Got the breakwater salad with blackened chicken, delicious! Also had the blueberry bread pudding. It was buttery, and piping hot.
