    VENUE: Lively, comfortable, plenty of space and a lovely view of the waterfront. FOOD: Quickly prepared, delicious, filling and dutifully presented. SERVICE: One of the staff was pretty rude to us, but the rest of the staff more than made up for it with their patient, helpful and respectful attitude. SUMMERY: I would highly recommend the Boardwalk Bistro to my friends and colleges despite some negative parts of the experience.

    The roast pork was excellent. This time we were welcomed with a smile. Last visit we couldn't get a smile out of any of the staff and when we said we had a booking the staff member just pointed and said "over there". This time we were taken to our table. They were less busy this visit though I must admit.

    I do not wish my feedback to be published. My feedback is for the restaurant and not for others. I don't wish to influence any one; they can make their own decisions.

    This was a busy night with a show on later. Firstly our member card wouldn't register hence missed discounts. The entree arrived in good time then there was a very long wait for the mains which were average probably due to cooking on under warmer lights. The salmon was reasonably ok but the steak was well past medium rare.
