We enjoyed the service today. Wait staff were very friendly. The main course food took a long time to come as it was busy. It would be good to put some noise absorbing materials as the restaurant with its hard surfaces was very loud. The people were great, food nice wine nice and the view outstanding.

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.
