For BBQ in a very casual setting, I like A.D.'s on State St. Not
*on* the water, but down town. There's also Muddy River Smokehouse. It has pretty decent ribs, but it kinda feels like a chain the way it's decorated. They have an excellent assortment of ales on tap. For seafood, there's a bunch of restaurants on Bow St. right on the water.

Food is so-so (6/7 on a 10 scale), but the _finest_ waterfront location is The Stockpot.
