    I’d love to keep Fleet a secret just so I can always have a quiet spot to watch the people on the streets below as I work my way through their menu - both food and drinks. The staff make going to Fleet an experience. It’s more than a bar and the place you go to impress someone. If you want something different and quality over quantity this is the place to go.

    Friday 5pm, so there was a buzz with Christmas parties all around. Thankfully we had booked, so we didn't miss out on our go-to place for steak. Scotch fillet, yum. Wifey's medium was noticably different from my medium rare and we have now been there four times, with four amazing experiences. Service was also top notch. We'll be back!

    Service from Jamie was great. We were sitting in a corner so it was noisy, sound bouncing from everywhere. Their “feed me” style option looked like good value. We chose not to do that as one person in our party just doesn’t. Food is kinda pricey if going a la carte so I would recommend doing it. All items we ate were super tasty! Cocktails were fun.

    We had a lovely window table, the staff were so accommodating to arrange that. The food was delicious and the portions very generous, a relief as it’s not a cheap venue to eat at. I would certainly recommend Waterfront and would definitely book to eat there when we come again. Thank you.
