We caught up with old friends and had a very enjoyable evening at Waves. It was a very warm evening and we enjoyed sitting inside in air conditioned comfort. The food was excellent. They were very busy so understandably at one point a drink order appeared to have been forgotten apart from that staff were very nice & attentive. The hostess was very thoughtful adjusting the blind to protect our eyes from the sun. The view of the sunset over the pier and bay is spectacular. Parking is a bit of an issue as people park there to go to the beach & it’s paid parking but we found places after 7 pm. Highly recommend planning time to find a park.

The staff were so friendly and polite. It was a busy night due to Christmas celebrations, even though they were working so hard they handled the pressure extremely well. The only thing l would suggest is an easier way to order food.
