    We really enjoy eating at the Waterfront. The food is good as is the service with polite and attentive waiters and waitresses. It’s pretty good value for money and the views from the restaurant are outstanding. Thank you

    We love coming here. We love the ambience and the location. Sometimes the food lacks a little something. I had cold salmon and salad the other day and the salmon had not been seasoned at all and the salad leaves were brown at the edges which was not what I'd expect for the price I paid.

    Great food and service in a lovely setting right in the centre of Hythe bay with fantastic views. Music was louder than expected. We asked if it was a live singer. It wasn’t so feel the sound could go down a notch to make conversation easier.
