I loved this restaurant so much. Me and steak, well we love each other. But the filet mignion at Waters was some kinda meant to be. Will be seeing you again - and special thanks to our incredible server, Isabel.

Went here for our Anniversary and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was classy and romantic and the service was phenomenal. We like to take our time at high end restaurants (2-3 hours) and we were never rushed by the staff. The waiter made so many awesome recommendations and we absolutely loved everything we tried. The food is incredibly fresh, clean, and flavorful. I would highly recommend this restaurant for seafood lovers.

We had passed Waters many times when going to Bass Hall and kept forgetting to make reservations. One night, with no reservations anywhere we dropped in and they were able to seat us. So happy they could. Really really liked this restaurant. Love the casual yet upscale feel. Service was exceptional. And most important, the food was outstanding. We started with very creative and well-prepared drinks – the Voodoo Cowboy and the Sunset Sipper. As we began our drinks, an outstanding loaf of bread was delivered. For a starter we split a Tomato and Goat Cheese Salad. I like it a lot when you tell a server you are splitting something and then deliver it on two plates. In this case, not just on two plates, but actually as small versions of the original with all of the plate appeal that the larger one would have. The salad was gently dressed and the cheese and tomato plentiful. Well done. For a main I had the Ruby Red Crusted Trout with crab and green beans, and a side of Boursin Mashed Potatoes. Every single item was perfectly prepared and filled with flavor. My wife had the Waters Crab Cake and described it as one of the best she has ever tasted. This is from someone who has had crab cakes at many restaurants. Filled with flavor, on a great sauce bed, excellent. We had no room for dessert, but did have time because the service was perfectly paced for going to the musical at Bass Hall. We will return to Waters, probably many times.

Walked in a 8:30 pm on a Monday evening and was graciously seated and served by the staff. Food was fantastic Gulf coast style seafood with some Cajun influence. Steak was also fantastic. Service was wonderful as well. My only suggestion would be the lighting which was rather cold and harsh for a restaurant of this caliber. Would definitely come back, especially if staying at the Worthington across the street.

Everything was so wonderful!! We came here last minute to celebrate my friend 's birthday! It was a divine choice! The food was impeccable so much so we had to ask the chef for a pic! The pesto was out of this World on the Halibut. The oysters were so fresh. Crab cake was flaky and flavorful. I had the Red trout.. try it!! The service was outstanding. JANELLE, JENEVIEVE, THE CHEF AND, THE PHOTOGRAPHER(forgive me I did not get their names but definitely deserved recognition. )made this a night to remember. I am very particular about my choice of food and experiences. Service like this is what keeps me coming back. Enjoyed it all. Keep up the great work!

A Bonnell's restaurant that specializes in seafood. Njce selection of fresh oysters. Quite a few standard and a few unique seafood dishes. Good coctails and wine selection. Good place for a group, large or small. Fish was perfectly cooked not overdone

Real nice place. No reservation. So we were sat in the community seating. Just a real long table with bar chairs. Still very nice and comfortable. Definitely on the nicer end. We had the special (Sea Bass), Halibut, Calamari, Lobster Mac. All cooked to perfection. The Lobster Mac though was seriously something else though. Just wow. Everyone tries to put this on the menu but after having it here I'm totally ruined. Don't get me wrong everything was amazing but I'm getting the Lobster Mac as side every single time I come back. They also have fun cocktails that were awesome. Can't say I've had a marshmallow roasted in my drink before this. Highly recommend.

Wow—service was absolutely top-notch from start to finish! The drinks were divine, and the main course steak was hands down the best I’ve had in my lifetime so far—perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and unforgettable. Dessert was equally impressive, beautifully made and truly top tier. The restaurant itself is elegant and welcoming, and the staff were warm, friendly, and attentive. An outstanding dining experience all around. Highly recommend!

Waters Restaurant in downtown Fort Worth delivered one of the best seafood experiences we’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt upscale but still relaxed and welcoming. Downtown Fort Worth has a lot of great restaurants, but Waters really stands out if you’re a seafood lover—especially if you appreciate fresh oysters and knowledgeable service. The oyster selection was incredible. Instead of just offering a couple basic options, they had a wide variety of oysters from different regions, each with its own unique flavor profile. Some were briny and crisp, others were buttery and smooth, and it was really fun getting to taste the differences side-by-side. You can tell they take pride in sourcing high-quality seafood, and everything tasted extremely fresh. If you enjoy oysters even a little bit, this is absolutely the place to go in Fort Worth. A big part of what made the evening great was our server, Andrew. He was fantastic from start to finish—attentive without hovering, very knowledgeable about the menu, and clearly passionate about the food. When we asked about the oysters, he walked us through the different varieties, where they were from, and what made each one unique. That kind of service makes a huge difference and really elevates the entire dining experience. Andrew made sure everything came out perfectly timed and checked on us just enough to make sure we had everything we needed. Beyond the oysters, everything about the experience felt polished and well run. The staff worked together seamlessly, the food was beautifully presented, and the overall vibe of the restaurant made it a great spot for a nice dinner downtown. If you’re in Fort Worth and want top-tier seafood, Waters is absolutely worth visiting. Between the amazing oyster selection, the great atmosphere, and the outstanding service from Andrew, this place earns every bit of a five-star review. We’ll definitely be back.
