   Sea view, sunshine and good food. Service was really nice, helping with wheelchair access. We have visited here before and will do so again.

   Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the view. Unfortunately my husband had to send his meal back as it was not warm enough and they had run out of scallops and my brother in law was given an alcoholic cider when he had asked for alcohol free, hence the four stars. All problems were sorted without fuss. The food we had was very tasty and I would definitely visit again.

   Wonderful evening, fantastic views from all windows. Service was a bit slow due to very large and noisy party in the next room. They did offer to move us to a quieter area but views too good.

   Booked last minute on a Wednesday lunchtime and had a lovely time. Fish chips and mushy peas superb as was the scallop salad. Service was great and as it was a bit nippy we had an inside table with a sea view. Parking is available but would be problematic in the height of summer

   The service was good. The food however was very disappointing. Had the roast pork. The vegetables were uncooked except for sloppy carrot/swede and the cauliflower looked the dregs scraped from the bottom of a burnt pan, everything was tasteless. Location however is exceptional. The food is letting it down.

   I found while the food was plentiful and looked good it wasn't hot it was on the lower side of cool.

    Pre booked table for 1230hrs. arrived 10 minutes early but booked in and given table and menus, Said to look through menus and would be back in a few minutes. Then nothing for 25 minutes even though trying to get someone's attention ,even when we got someone they said they would go and get someone else to help . No contact during eating to see if all ok and service was extremely slow. But the venues location is fantastic right on Harbour side and thd food was Excellent and a large plate of food.

    I’ve wrote poor but it’s not the restaurants fault, booked a table for 9pm only to be told when we got there that the restaurant stops serving at half 8!! Wouldn’t recommend booking a table through this website if it’s for a later night…

    As this was booked for Christmas Eve I expected a better menu not just the bog standard one. Even that menu was limited as "they had run out" of most of it. The place lacked atmosphere, and I was thoroughly disappointed. It's definitely off my Christmas Eve list next year.

    The food was lovely The servers were attentive and efficient The whole experience was spoiled because a group of about 10 were seated in the same section they were loud and excitable meaning our table could hardly hear each other when we spoke I don’t know why restaurants insist on putting large groups amongst smaller tables why not put the loud groups together ?

    When table of 6 booked online, we were positioned in the corner of a small room on the edge of the restaurant away from all the other guests and couldn’t be moved. Tiny mussels and prawns in meals chosen which didn’t reflect in value in the price we paid. Nevermind - nice for a drink there in the summer with lovely views to be had I’m sure!

    Food was good. But it would have been nice to be informed that all the kitchen staff finished at 9:00 pm. We had finished our main by 8:30 and we sat waiting and waiting for someone to come with the dessert menu. By the time we found a waiter it was 9:15 and too late for dessert. Disappointed in the service and attitude. Couldn’t even offer a couple of slices of cheesecake from the fridge, no effort to please.

    Have been many times, booked a table for a family occasion at 7 30, arrived early to be told that our table had been laid up but given to someone else ! They refused to move and we were given a table by the door. Had to order the food at the bar. My daughter paid for a bottle of wine....no glasses! My fish pie was dried out and my dessert was inedible.

    Extremely disappointed at this visit, we lunch here often and the roast dinner on this visit was almost inedible roast beef was a third fat and potatoes were like leather, felt like a cattle market no table reserved even though we had booked.

    Lovely setting and most of us loved the food. Two of our 7 people didn't like some "very greasy potatoes" that came with a fish dish which need to be changed on the menu. However the staff dealt with it very well and efficiently. The sundaes were really good, the fruit one can do with more actual fruit in it. Despite these minor grumbles we would definitely come again!

    Not a great experience, 3 of the main menu dishes were off, no chicken or beef. 6 of us were eating but 2 dishes came 15 minutes before the rest so we didn't really eat together. Where we ate was quite noisy, not helped by at least 2 dogs barking. We won't be rushing back I'm afraid.

    My self and 2 friends went for an evening meal. Firstly I was dismayed that they didn’t do mocktails, so had to have another drink. My friends enjoyed both their Main and sweet. I myself couldn’t have either of the dishes I wanted as they were unavailable. There were no specials because of Christmas parties. There were a lot of empty tables, and it was not very busy. The staff were how ever very pleasant, and well presented.

    We love the Waterfront - especially the staff. The only reason I marked down slightly was because we ate at an odd time, the roasties had been kept a tad long, but otherwise BRILLIANT!

    Food hot, fresh and very tasty. If anything I would say a bit too much food. Next time we wouldn’t order our dessert when we ordered at the start. No sooner hard we eaten our mains and dessert turned up. Weren’t asked if we were ready for it yet. However food and staff lovely
