Absolutely perfect!! After its long closure, Waterlot has reopened with all the ambience, outstanding service, and delicious steaks, we were hoping for. Pricey but worth it.

The GIRLZ thoroughly enjoyed the night, from arrival to departure. The courses were perfectly proportioned. Sides served to share, is a great option for larger groups - we were 8. High Tea in a Glass was a major hit with the gin aficionado in our group. Looking forward to returning soon.

The Waterlot in Southampton Bermuda has undergone a beautiful restoration. This landmark Bermuda restaurant closed shortly after the pandemic and reopened in December, 2024.. I've dined there many times in the past, but our first trip back after the brief hiatus was a culinary delight. The restaurant itself has kept faithful to old-fashioned charm and elegance that has been the norm here for a few hundred years. The food was impeccable (make sure you have the seafood bouillabaisse- it is an appetizer, but could have been served as a full meal). I ordered the surf and turf and the lobster tail which had been poached in vanilla was outstanding. The wait staff were friendly and it is obvious that they are proud of the establishment. The maître d'hôtel, Barry Cohen, greets every diner personally and assures that everything is just perfect. The Waterlot is truly a five-star dining experience which should not be missed.

We had a fantastic evening last night. Whether it was because of the festive season, the excellent service, the fantastic food, the old world charm of the Waterlot, or the great company it's hard to say?! Thank you for reopening your doors and allowing Bermudians and visitors experience the wonderfulness that is the Waterlot.
