The Waterlot, Bermuda's iconic dining destination, re-opened its doors on Wednesday, December 4th.

The Waterlot now invites guests to revel in life's simple joys as well as grand occasions. With a welcoming ambiance, this is a place to gather, connect, and savor Bermuda’s culinary heritage.

    Waterlot and their staff did not disappoint! From the time we arrived until the time we left, the service was exceptional! Our server Robert, was attentive, professional and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was one to remember. We felt like we were the only ones dining even the restaurant was extremely busy. We asked Robert whether we could make modifications to some of the food and he and the rest of the team happily accommodated our requests. Thank you Waterlot, Robert and the rest of the Waterlot team for making our experience spectacular! We will see you again very soon.

    3 for 3! Another fantastic meal. Favorites: table side Cesar salad, avocado and beet salad, side veggies, Mac and cheese, 12 spiced chicken and all steaks cooked to perfection.
    The Waterlot - Fairmont SouthamptonResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for your wonderful review, Danielle! We're thrilled to hear you've had consistently excellent experiences with us at The Waterlot. It brings us joy to know that our signature tableside Caesar salad preparation continues to impress, and that you enjoyed both our classic steaks and newer menu items like the 12-spiced chicken. Your appreciation of our appetizers and sides - from the avocado and beet salad to our house-made mac and cheese - is particularly gratifying, as we put just as much care into these accompaniments as we do our main courses. We look forward to continuing to serve you our perfectly cooked steaks and other favorites on your next visit! Warmest regards, The Waterlot Team

    I am not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best meals and dining experiences we've had anywhere. My wife and I, and a few friends visited after we had eloped at Jobson's Cove an hour prior. The staff was fantastic, drinks were amazing and the food was perfect. Most of us had steaks, cooked to perfection. Every bite truly delicious. After learning we were coming from our elopement, the staff all signed a card, announced us as newlywed to the other guests to make us feel special, surprised us with a dessert, and even found us at our resort afterwards to return a wedding memento we had left behind by accident. Can't say enough good things about our experience there. We count ourselves very lucky to have chosen to go to The Waterlot for our first dinner as a married couple.

    Dear Dan and Nicole, We are deeply touched by your wonderful review and thrilled that we could be part of such a momentous occasion in your lives. Celebrating your wedding day with your first dinner as newlyweds at The Waterlot Inn was truly our honor. Your kind words about our cuisine, particularly the perfectly prepared steaks, and our service mean the world to us. However, what makes us most proud is knowing that we could add those special touches to make your celebration even more memorable – from the team-signed card to sharing your joyous news with our other guests. We are truly honored to now be part of your love story and hope to welcome you back for many anniversary celebrations to come. With warmest regards, The Waterlot Team

Our compliments to the chef, wine steward and all the servers (especially Linda) that made our meal so very enjoyable. Barry Cohen has done a remarkable job in keeping The Waterlot a destination for a fine dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and we look forward to enjoying many more meals here in the future.
