Over the years my wife and I have spent thousands of dollars here and over the last few years we have been seeing a steady decline in service and food quality but last week was our last trip to Waters Edge. We dine or stop for drinks atleast three to four times a week at our local resurants and during the summer love the out-door places to enjoy the sun and so my wife can pick her blue crabs. I love the sun but do not like the crabs but while my wife can spend hours eating the all-you-can eat crabs, I will help her by cracking the claws and piling the meat up for herbut I never touch the stuff, I won't even lick my fingers. So last week we stopped at Waters Edge so she could have her crabs and keep the bordom a way, I started crcking the crab legs for her, as i have done hundreds of times at Waters Edge alone. Our waiter/manager stopped by the table and saw me hitting a claw with the mallet and asked if I wanted to order my own crabs and both my wife and I, at the same time said "no, He/I doesn't like crabs, he is just helping me open the claws". After about an hour, she orders her second tray and keep in mind that it took her an hour to pick her way through 10 crabs on the first tray. Just after the second tray is dropped off, our waiter/manager stops again and says "If you keep eating those, I will have to charge you for them", we both look up and tell him again that I only open the claws and my wife even tells him that I hate crabs!!! Our waiter/manager, who doesn't even look like hes 20 years old yet, then shocks us beyond belief by saying "I have standing over there for 10 minutes watching you eat the crabs". Now keep in mind that I just retired in June from a career in the Intelligence Community and still have an active TS/SCI and have done more polygraphs than the number years this kid has been alive and that my honesty and integrity are the core of my professional reputation... So trying not to over react, I responded by saying, "excuse me but your a "F'en" lier". At this point, he should have realized that the only person who could call his bluff and call him a lier, is the person that wasn't eating a single bite of the crab but he didn't make that connection and began to threaten me and telling me not to call him a lier... If someone had been sneaking bites, even a few would have reponded a little differently but since we both know that my fingers never even went near my lips so for someone to say that they spent 10 minutes watching something that did not happen, could only be characterized as a lier... after we got through the insult we felt, we got our check and found out that Waters Edge now adds an automatic tip for checks over $50 dollars so now your waiter/manager can give you the worst service you can imagain and even call you a cheat or thief and they still get a tip from you... Please do your self a favor and go spend your hard earned money somewhere other than Waters Edge.... STAY AWAY
