Abbey’s Waterfront has fresh look, menu

The Abbey Resort, Fontana, has completed renovations to its Waterfront restaurant, including a new outdoor bar area featuring a waterfall and fire pit.

The renovation also includes a refreshed outdoor patio and seating area overlooking Abbey Harbor, relocation of the hostess stand, new branding and a complete overhaul of the indoor seating and bar areas providing diners with unobstructed views of Abbey Harbor from nearly every seat in the restaurant.

Along with the renovated space, a new menu at Waterfront – which features sandwiches, BBQ and salads – has been updated with new and seasonal selections such as a watermelon cucumber jar salad with feta, lime and cilantro; a salmon Waldorf salad; a brisket burger served with cherry peppers, onion rings and smoked aioli; and a bourbon glazed sirloin served with sour cream and chive mashed potatoes and sweet corn.

Seasonal desserts on the new menu include a peach crisp with cinnamon, brown sugar and ice cream; a skillet cookie with ice cream and caramel and chocolate sauces and; fresh doughnuts served with Madagascar vanilla bean dip.

Spring and summer drinks on the new menu include the dockside margarita, the Waterfront sangria, a cucumber gin lemonade and a lemon basil martini.

The menu retains house favorites such as the pit-smoked BBQ baby back ribs, smoked BBQ quesadilla and the all-you-can-eat Spotted Cow fish fry served Fridays.

BBQ served at Waterfront is slow-smoked on-site in The Abbey Resort’s traditional southern outdoor smoker using techniques perfected by award-winning pit master Matthew Whiteford.

Along with cold drinks, live music and seating in the restaurant’s new outdoor bar area, the signature house-smoked BBQ is featured at Burnin’ Down the Docks – an outdoor celebration of brews, blues and BBQ – each Sunday afternoon of summer from noon until 5 p.m.

Additional live entertainment at Waterfront is offered Wednesday through Sunday evenings with times varying from afternoon patio performances to late evening bar entertainment.
