A Major Dinner Menu Change for the Fall

Despite its prime location and incomparable water views, The Waterfront Cafe is very reasonably priced, reflecting the value that customers are looking for in these difficult economic times.

Now, for September and October, we're offering some startling values at dinner.....a 3-course meal, with a choice of 12 entrees, for just $15.95. And we're offering this all night (from 4pm to closing) every night of the week. (Check our Dinner Menu page for full details.)

Besides these very special menu offerings, at a price that can't be beat anywhere on the Island, what hasn't changed is the best water and sunset view on the Island, consistently excellent food and happy service. That makes for a TOTAL VALUE dining experience. Perfect for the Times! Perfect ANY Time!
