Editorial Review for Joseph's on the Water – by Heather Wood

The Scene
Retirees with savings to spare and couples looking for an upscale night on the town flock to this live-jazz joint for fresh seafood, swift service and a view of passing yachts. A grand piano dominates the raised bar area, which overlooks the cavernous restaurant dotted with red-linen-topped tables and wicker chairs. Outside, the few couples lucky enough to snag a two-top enjoy a panoramic view of the water and sailing yachts.

The Food
Standard seafood fare gussied up a bit for its environs: Crab cakes topped with curls of vegetation, which is more artful than edible; shoestring fries are seasoned with lemon pepper and fresh herbs--a perfect pairing with the filet mignon and a big side of kicked-up catsup. Lobster is steamed to sweetness and doused with lemon, herbs and butter (ask for it on the side if you prefer). Sushi-quality tuna gets a crust of sesame seeds.

That was a mistake!!! Very bad customer service...... I think this is the most important part in a restaurant..... I don't recommend it.

The previous reviews are completely misleading. We were looking for a "date spot" or a "romantic spot." Now, don't get me wrong - I am not an ageist - but , based upon the clientele, this place is not frequented by anyone under the age of 70. Based upon the reviews from this site, we went there on a Friday night for a romantic dinner on the water. Upon our arrival, literally, there was NOT ONE person under the age of 65 in the entire restaurant. Because we were looking for a different type of scene, we chose to go elsewhere. So, I cannot comment upon the food, service, etc.

Pros: No idea.

Cons: Difficult to get to; AARP hangout.
