   I chose this restaurant as we really wanted a special seafood dinner for a long awaited reunion. Decor and ambiance was fine and service just ok. The big disappointment was the quality of the food. Very below par for a restaurant of this quality and price. Prawns were bordering on inedible could hardly cut them and extremely chewy. Quality and freshness of prawns from Woolworths much better quality and ten times fresher ?? When I commented on the prawns they were deducted from the bill. Main course of bug tails average nothing special with a big scoop of white rice and handful of rocket leaves. Restaurant was fairly quiet by 8.00pm and now I know why. Would not go back. Sticking to swallows or Richmond seafood tavern for quality and service.

   Lovely meal Started with oysters which were nice and fresh, and kingfish sashimi in a citrus sauce. Both excellent. Only disappointment was the pot of mussels which were overcooked and dehydrated. Ended with a bombe Alaska with a birthday candle. Nice touch! Overall an excellent dining experience Bravo!

   We loved our waterfront experience . The chowder was a winner and my husbands flounder perfectly cooked . My only small complaint was the thai gold band snapper curry a little sweet and the sauce became a bit hard to finish .

   It was a very busy night. The staff were under a lot of pressure. The Japanese scallops were average. …Bland. Rye snapper curry was lovely but such a huge serve… we should have ordered it to share. We’ll be back on a night that isn’t so busy.

    Steak was stone cold, second attempt was a reheat, 3rd attempt with new steak was better but chewy. Very disappointing given the cost of the steak. 2nd guys steak said it was average but 2 girls enjoyed their fish curry, oysters and spag marinara very much.

    One food order was incorrect and was served undercooked - one of our party had the same meal that was cooked satisfactorily. The seafood chowder was excellent as were the other entrees. Overall, Waterfront is a welcome addition to Church Street offering good quality meals, service and ambiance.

    Very enjoyable birthday dinner. Looked after by Sarah !! Three slight "downsides": 1. French fries are "McDonalds" fare. NOT up-market restaurant food = too thin & don't hold heat = arrived with meal BUT lukewarm / cold. 2. Bombe Alaska sweet was not "flamed" as expected. 3. The bar did not stock/have Benedictine liquor.

    Have been wanting to to the Waterfront for a while now. I booked it for our anniversary and I have to say I was quite underwhelmed. I expected better quality from the dishes and was quite disappointed. The food was definitely overpriced in relation to the quality. I’ve experienced the dining experience there now and I can confidently say I wouldn’t revisit.
