Waterfront Grill

Perched along the scenic bluffs where the Illinois and Mississippi rivers meet, Waterfront Grill is Grafton’s premier riverfront dining destination. Seamlessly stepping into the footprint of the former Grafton Winery and Brewhaus, this completely reimagined venue brings a modern, high-energy vibe to an upscale-casual atmosphere.

The experience is centered around spectacular, panoramic views of the confluence. Guests can relax with full table service on the sweeping multi-level decks, feeling the cool river breeze while watching the sunset paint the sky over the water.
