Waterfront dining

I/We love eating on the water whenever possible. The only drawback is having to make an effort to avoid places that rely on the view over food, because good food is paramount. Its rare to have an amazing view and great food, but we know of one place that does: JB's on the Beach, Deerfield Beach, Fl. Its more than waterfront, its beach front. As in sidewalk, hedge, sand, ocean. What's more is the food is fucking great. All of it, from appetizers to homemade pies. The very best part? Saturday while we drank spicy pineapple margaritas we watched 4 young, fit, very skilled young women play beach volleyball. Maybe 10 yards away. Firm, fit, lovely and great players. They all wore thongs. Fucking breathtaking. Couldn't take my eyes off them. At one point I stabbed myself in the cheek with my fork while mesmerized. No one saw except my Wife who said: "That's why I ordered a sandwich". Where and what is your favorite waterfront spot to dine?

Couple come to mind for just pure fun although the food leaves something to be desired: Bally's Beach Bar in AC and the Tiki Hut in Hilton Head.
Couple that do have great grub and the view: Palm Pavilion in Clearwater Beach and Whiskey Joe's in Tampa.
I've been to both JBs and the Seaside, they are both good but I feel they are a bit overpriced for the quality of there service, but it;s true the food is good.
If I'm going to go to a bar type place, my preference is The Briny right across from the beach in Pompano. Loads of character, I've always found the people to be friendly, and one the best cheeseburgers you'll find. And within walking distance of where I stay when I'm in Pompano, which is a nice bonus.
Up in your neck of the woods, 75 on Liberty Wharf. We were in Boston a couple years ago for a Scorpions concert at the Pavilion. We wanted some drinks and appetizers before the show and went there because it's only a few steps away from the venue. Great food, you can sit outside right on the water, and we got to hear the band doing their sound checks, since the Pavilion is basically an outdoor tent sort of place. We'd have been able to hear the whole show from there if we weren't going into the concert. We liked it so much we went back for lunch the next day before we left the city.
There's a ton of great restaurants in Delray, if you like great Italian food, a few blocks west of the water is Tramonti's definitely pricey but the food is exceptional and they have old fashioned Italian waiters that actually know how to serve food.
BTW I live just about 10 minutes from Downtown we are there every weekend, and on Saturday mornings we usually hit the farmer's market at Old School Square on Swinton.
Fun fact: My late father-in-law, who was a carpenter/cabinetmaker was responsible for a lot of the work there.
Ohhhh the times I had on Deerfield Pier & Beach😬
Used to have a place 2 blocks south on Hillsboro.
I used to live(hangout) at Flanigan’s across the street?

Whiskey Joes Tampa - I go there quite abit.
Circle Waterfront - Apollo Beach
And Clearwater few on beach and few rooftop places with ok views??
Dockside, located adjacent to Herrington Harbour North marina and Skipper's Pier on the other side. Both places offer outstanding food and great drinks either inside or outside.
Can't wait for the boat to go back in the water!
