We had a lovely window table, the staff were so accommodating to arrange that. The food was delicious and the portions very generous, a relief as it’s not a cheap venue to eat at. I would certainly recommend Waterfront and would definitely book to eat there when we come again. Thank you.

My new favourite local place to hang out. Lovely to sit outside on a balmy summer evening. Food and wine are delicious and I love emphasis on seafood and vegetables. Floor people are friendly and relaxed, but attentive, adding to the great local vibe.
