We chose Waterfront to celebrate our 30th Wedding anniversary as we both love seafood. It proved to be a wonderful choice. We each had entrees and main courses and shared a desert. Every dish was promptly served, suitably proportioned and delicious. Had time for a romantic stroll on the beach after.

The vegetarian selection is still utterly rubbish. Why can’t there be one dish that’s actually not terrible or weird combinations. Also the slaw was pure mustard - the schnitzel was super crispy though
