We chose Waterfront to celebrate our 30th Wedding anniversary as we both love seafood. It proved to be a wonderful choice. We each had entrees and main courses and shared a desert. Every dish was promptly served, suitably proportioned and delicious. Had time for a romantic stroll on the beach after.

The food was amazing and the staff were lovely. Our food took a little while to come out, but it was a busy Friday night and we were a big group booking. All in all, I would highly recommend this restaurant.
