    Food and Service were both Fantastic. The Tuna Appetizer was delicious and my Filet was cooked perfectly well seasoned and one of the best I have had in a long time. The Old Fashioned was on point. Our Waitress Kat was great very attentive and really sweet. A + i will be coming back in the near future.

    This was our first opportunity to return to the newly-reopened Waterlot - and the smiles on everyone's faces confirmed that Barry and the team have successfully recreated one of the best dining experiences in Bermuda! From the moment we walked in, the tone was set: the warm welcome in the bar upstairs, and Brett's attention to detail, the way our server, Linda, appeared silently whenever we needed, without any effort on our part, and without bugging us when we were deep in conversation, the way everyone was on hand, unhurried despite a full house on a Saturday evening - the blend of familiar faces from other top restaurants with new, well-trained talent, and first-class, professionally executed classic plates of food...Buzzy, but not so loud that you couldn't have a normal conversation across the table...Expensive, arguably, but unquestionably also excellent value - as the laughter across the room underlined. We walked out with a spring in our step and a determination to return. Welcome back - and thank you!

    I truly enjoyed my date night at Insignia. Thank you Amir GM for the warm welcome. Kudos to the chef and team on the food, that Australian sirloin wagyu might just be the best steak I ever had. A special thanks to Erica and Stephen for their friendly and professional service, and also the food runner Ric (I think, I’m sorry) for serving out dinner so kindly. Also, Ivander and Matt from the valet team were awesome. Thank you all again!
