Reviews for Panini's On The Waterfront in Beaufort, SC
We had lunch here and it was a hilariously terrible experience from start to finish. It began when we asked how was the ceasar... salad and the waitress proceeded to tell us that although she thinks it's alright, people have been sending it back lately a lotso maybe we should consider ordering something else. Whaaat? ??????????????? I guess we appreciate the honesty? So we orderedthe focaccia bread for an appetizer, which looked nothing like focaccia bread! I mean we even googled to see maybe we wereconfused about what focaccia bread looks like or maybe there are different types, there aren't ???? and it came with what Isuspect may be canned diced tomatoes ??????????? We ordered the Mediterranean salad with chicken and the Blanco pizza formains. Well where do I start? The chicken on the salad was boiled! Boiled chicken with very faint grill marks I'm guessing fordecoration? Ewww who puts boiled chicken on a salad at a restaurant (especially when you specifically say grilled!), just a bigno. And then there was the big finale... the pizza! It was supposed to have roasted garlic, olive oil, mozzarella and freshbasil. 4 ingredients. How hard could it be, right? Especially since every menu and poster in the place brags about their famousbrick oven pizza. Well, it was just bread and cheese lol no garlic and definitely no fresh basil... or any basil for thatmatter. So when we asked the waitress where was the basil, her reply was "oh yeah we don't have that, it's all out". Ummmm youthink that might be a useful piece of information to share with the customer BEFORE you process their order?! Oh and when weasked about the garlic, she replied that there definitely should be some on there. I mean garlic is not something that has afaint smell or taste, YOU KNOW if there is garlic on there ????????????????????????????????????? Anyways the whole thing wasjust too funny to be mad about so we had whatever part of the food was edible, paid and left. But just wow... Read more
Great dining experience. The food was great, service was quick, and the atmosphere was nice. Pizza pictured below are the house... pizza with some added toppings and the Vente (sp?). Pizzas were wood fired. The crust was thin and crispy. I highly recommend.There is outside seating with views of the water. Read more
This place was good. It's not on the expensive side either. We got to sit outside and see the water under umbrellas. The serve... was great. Didn't half to ask for anything and got our order right the 1st time. Got a man that's gluten free with us and he atethe shrimp and grits. We were all happy and satisfied. The pasta salad as a side has a lemon taste it was good though. Hubbysaid the pesto chicken wrap was good but, it came with provolone and the pesto was a little heavy but it was good. Read more
5-15-2020 3:15 pm The hostess made very clear she was trying to get out of there. After I was sat on their perfect view of the... bat patio I started to look over the menu. After 10 min I noticing no one had asked to take my drink order. I looked around and2 servers where rolling silver and restaurants was less thank 50%. I waited 20 more mins answered some emails before realizingno one was paying attention. I just left, walked right passed 4 employees that were very focused on get out of there. Read more
Wife had anchovy pizza and i had a pork, pear and gorgonzola panini. We both enjoyed what we had. The outdoor seating was... great looking out over the water. Staff was very attentive and helpful. We would go again for sure. Read more
Love this place. Went there today at 12:30 and was told they were a little short staffed and there might be a little wait Well,... there was no patience needed. We were seated within 10 minutes, and the service and food was amazing. If you like calamari, yougot to try theirs!! Plenty of outdoor seating overlooking the river. Read more
"The tables outside are wet". "You have to know the tables are wet". This was our entry salutation from the rather weary guy... that welcomed us. They actually weren't wet at all. I guess he would rather have his customers in one spot. Not a greatstart. Our server was chirpy enough, but the food was poor. My wife's chicken panini was a pesto soaked mess with dry chicken.She sent that back. It was deducted from the check, but no visit from a manager. My beef and shrimp sub was OK. A single frygraced one half of the sub (shrimp and fries, cooked together?) but the pasta side tasted like it had been boiled in orangejuice. It tasted really bad and I overheard other customers commenting on this. The table of four next to us left after barelytouching their food. They shared negative comments between themselves but not with their server. When we paid the check Icommented to our server about the food quality, and his comment was. "The kitchen gets slack near the end of a shift". Bear thatin mind then! To add injury to insult, the tables outside all have damaged veneers. Our table had razor sharp edges on theunderside that snagged my shorts and actually tore a hole my wife's dress. These tables need to be tossed out and replaced. Thehospitality industry is going through a ton of pressure right now. With staff shortages and less customers than pre pandemic.Customers expect to wait longer for tables, and to have less food variety, but there is no excuse for poor quality. Read more
Friendly staff with excellent service and hearty delicious portions! Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here while on business for the... day. We sat inside for some relief from the heat, but the the outdoor view was amazing. Read more
