    Went for Sunday lunch. Long wait to be served and when the food arrived it was either warm or cold. Steak ordered medium and served well done. Restaurant seemed too busy for the staff to cope with. Atmosphere and the singer good too.

    You will never be disappointed spending time at the Waterfront. It is quite frankly, exceptional Lead by David and his superb team. The service, the food, the whole experience is always 10/10. If you are after a fantastic meal, with great service and a view that many would pay for.. The Waterfront is the place for you. 5*

    The food we ate was exceptionally good however the service was very slow and the music too loud which is a shame. I've no idea why restaurants feel the need to have music so loud you have to practically shout at each other to be heard. We had a lovely evening, enjoying good food but it could have been better
