JB's on the Water

We have never had a bad experience with JB's on the water. Every meal is delicious and fresh. From the Chef to the managers and servers always a five star experience. Lobster Flatbread, Cranberry Whipped Feta Dip, Blackened Cod, Fish & Chips, Loaded Baked Cavatappi, Pecan Crusted Salmon, Fall Chicken, Fish Rueben, and JB's Style Calamari are all delicious. Save room for dessert and get the chocolate cake. You would never believe the cake is gluten free.

I don’t even know how to rate this, because I’ve had 2 very different experiences this summer at JB’s. One was a family meal. We had a pressing issue going on with a family member flying in, needed a res sort of last minute, and they were so kind and accommodating! We even got a table outside. The fish tacos were fantastic. My dad had some gluten free chicken with the most amazing balsamic glaze. My sister’s steak dish- while delicious otherwise- was overcooked repeatedly (clearly a kitchen issue) so they comped it for us and brought a dessert. No complaints. The second time, we tried to go as a couple for drinks, and the hostess stand was run by what seemed like clueless 16 year olds. There were loads of empty tables and total chaos, with 5 parties ahead of us waiting for quite some time. The dirty tables just sat and sat. We asked to sit or stand at the bar railing for a cocktail (while 2 seats that were never filled sat open). They said it would be a wait. 🤯 Ended up leaving the half full restaurant bc the only option we were given was to sit on the edge of some landscaping downstairs. Totally weird. Went to a different bar on the main drag and had a great time. It was 5 stars and then 1 star, so I give it 3 overall. Needs consistency and competent hosts.

We were able to sit on the back deck overlooking the bay which was really fun. The service was great. The food was good, but I wish the portion sizes were a bit larger for the price. They have gluten free options which is always a plus for me.
