Fantastic, friendly staff. Lots of menu choices and particularly impressed by the number of gluten free options. Food was so delicious ( I'm pretty sure my husband will be telling everyone he meets about his red curry 😂). Thank you Waterfront for a lovely experience.

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.
