The Waterfront Hotel is an absolutely fantastic place to eat. The menu and the special boards offer really great choice and my partner who is Gluten intolerant had so many choices she found it difficult to choose. The food was delicious and the portions are extremely reasonable. Our host Pam made us so welcome and was really friendly, funny and polite ( payrise required). The chef too is top notch hence I left a tip for the two of them. I totally recommend The Waterfront Hotel to everyone, you will not be disappointed and I guarantee you will go back!
