4 reviews for Waterstreet Cafe
I've been to the Waterstreet Cafe several times to see a friend's band play, but last night was the first time I ate there. I brought a meetup group who was going to eat dinner and then see the band.
Waterstreet was very accomodating with our reservation. If you eat in the restaurant, they will a) save you a table in the music room (awesome!) and b) give you a drink coupon, but you still have to pay the cover for the band.
I had one of the specials, which was good, although the chicken was slightly dry. Most of the group seemed happy with their meals, save some minor complaints (too much dressing, slightly cold ravioli). Portions were large and prices were good. One of our members had been here multiple times for lunch and brunch and he raved about the chourico hash, pumpkin pancakes, and various sandwiches.
After dinner we moved over to the music room. The band, The Express, was rocking as always. Our bar waitress was prompt but then complained to a member that we did not tip right away from the round of free drinks we had received. I was intending, as the organizer, to give her a large tip at the end of the night, which was done and I think all was resolved. The last thing you want to do is piss off your waitress!
As noted by Ben, the Waterstreet Cafe is a little tough to find. Google maps wanted me to do something impossible and members' GPSs gave wrong turns as well. Thankfully, we all got there ok! I don't find the area to be intimidating at all. Parking is a little tight, especially when there are other events going on in the area. Waterstreet has a lot but I have never found a spot in it. There is a kind of industrial area across the street that I (and a lot of other people) usually park in.
All in all, Waterstreet Cafe is a good place to grab a bite and see a good show, features that are sorely lacking in other South Coast establishments. Check it out!
This was my second time to WaterStreet - sat outdoors both times I came here. The outdoor seating doesn't really have a great view, but given the limited outdoor dining options in FR, it's worth trying one.
On this trip out, I tried the linguine with shrimp & scallops dish and one of their specialty salads. The descriptions on the menu sounded great, but the dishes themselves were just ok. My shrimp were fairly undercooked while the scallops seemed slightly overcooked. Service was OK.
Out door seating in FR is the main reason I give Waterstreet three stars - the food itself is between 2 and 3 stars.
Watched "Detroit Breakdown" which plays a lot of J. Geils, Petty, Hendrix - these guys can JAM! (My friend Scott's band EXCELLENT!)
My Friends ate there and gave it very good reviews as a bonus they also have a gluten free menu. Roomy inside and good size dance floor. I did not have trouble finding it, Just drive to Battleship cove and you will find it.
Easily one of my favorite places of all time. Heavy Mediterranean influence on the food (influence might be the wrong word as the owners are Mediterranean) and a good deal of skill in the kitchen to prepare it.
One of my favorite places for a business lunch or a night out, Waterstreet has interesting and delicious food complimented by an interesting atmosphere and very friendly service.
You would not be able to find this place by simply driving around Fall River, and you might even be intimidated by the area at night (down by Battleship Cove), so you should make a point to go here if you are in the area.
Good to know, Waterstreet cafe has a lounge side where some great local bands play. Also keep an eye for then they have open mic night. Always a good time.
