The group dinner on Saturday seemed to me to be very well attended to by the staff. When asked about anything they responded quickly. My chicken was juicy and perfect some felt the salmon might have been a bit dry. There was extra dressing available as I had some. Atmosphere to me was perfect -- great view of the River and the sound of the Hydroplane races just added to it.

We were with a group that had dinner at this restaurant. We had 41 in our group and the staff had arranged all of the tables in 2 or 4 place settings. They seemed to be put out that we would like to sit together as a group. The Chicken Breast that we had was dried out and very rubbery. The starter salad contained barely any dressing. For the price of the meal we even had to go and get our own drinks from the cash bar. A funny thing, there were no salt and pepper shakers on the table. Chances are I would not go back again as it was not a great meal.

We recently had dinner at the Watermark with friends from Toronto and
Gananoque. All of our cocktails appetizers and dinners and desserts were excellent., Every mouthful offered wonderful flavours, the food was perfectly cooked and beautiful presented. The tables are arranged in a matter that you don't feel you are dining with the strangers beside you, and the view of the Beautiful St. Lawerence River is amazing Our server Melissa was very professional,personable and knowledgeable. We are looking forward to returning soon for another wonderful dining experience! Kudos to all who make this restaurant outstanding!

Stopped in for a night. Even though the Watermark wasn't officially open on the night we were there, the staff opened it up when they heard we were interested in eating there. Great service and the food was really good. Unfortunately, the wine list didn't keep up. A few picks from Vintages Essentials and a handful of Ontario options is all that were available. A little interest and inspiration would go a long way here, even if it were just a few monthly specials. A nice touch, however, was the fact that all bottles were available by the glass, 1/2 litre or by the bottle. You don't see that often enough.

I don't have a single bad word to say about this place, we bought a package with the Gananoque Inn and I was not expecting much of an " add on dinner package" because I've never had much luck. Everything about this mini trip was amazing but the food, I would drive the 3 hours for dinner any time it was that good. The presentation, the meal size, the service everything was perfect. The atmosphere of the restaurant was perfect, it was well planned out so we were not too close to other guests. The view was amazing, we over looked the water and saw the sun set very sweet!
