    Great to be back at this classic Bermudian Legend. The ambience was its usual elegant self with cocktails in the lounge prior to dinner, the service was exceptional thanks to Robert, and the food was incredible. It's great to be able to host our special occasions at our favourite restaurant.

    This was our first visit to the restaurant. This was the best steak we have ever tasted on the island. Unfortunately the service was very slow and our waiter wasn’t the most charismatic person either. No small talk, stern face and just did the job. Some of our friends were still waiting for their main meal when we left almost 2 hours from arrival. Granted the restaurant as extremely busy, but you should cater for that. Lovely good, beautiful surroundings but service speed needs looking into.
    The Waterlot - Fairmont SouthamptonResponded 7 days ago
    Dear Jayne, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your experience at The Waterlot. We're delighted that you enjoyed our signature steaks and beautiful ambiance. It's particularly gratifying to hear that it was the best steak you've had on the island. However, I'm very sorry about the slow service and less-than-engaging interaction with your server. You're absolutely right - while we were indeed busy, we should be prepared to maintain our service standards regardless of volume. The long wait times you and your friends experienced are not acceptable by our standards. We'll be addressing these service issues with our team. We value feedback like yours as it helps us improve. We hope to see you again soon. Warmest regards, The Waterlot Team

    My only complaint was where we were seated. I did not care for all those pillows and bench as I am short. I could not switch as my husband needed the chair due to disability and height. I had hoped for an intimate dining experience for two gazing out the window instead I felt like i was part of an assembly line-the whole row of tables were only for tables of two...a bit biased i'd say against couples...perhaps consider mixing it up a bit there and allowing for more window seating for two...Next time I shall call to reserve and request my needs.

    Lovely dinner at the Waterlot. We had the 20oz 60 day aged ribeye. Delicious! The bartender made a favorite cocktail to order. The desert was an chocolate orange smore's pie. Outstanding! I recommend the Waterlot for a special evening out.

    Our evening at The Waterlot was wonderful from beginning to end! We were 2 couples. The service was top notch and the food was delicious. Both couples had the Caesar salad for 2 for an app which was prepared at the table-excellent! My husband and I both had the beef tenderloin (mine with a delicious blue cheese crust)—they perfectly cooked. We had sides of fries, roasted potatoes and steamed mixed vegetables and all were great for sharing among the 4 of us. The other couple had short ribs and cod and were very happy with their choices. We finished the evening off by sharing the delicious carrot cake for dessert. We are so glad that the Waterlot is back —we will definitely be going back! Shout out to our servers Alec and Warleo and to Brent who we were happy to see back in Bermuda!

We're thrilled you're excited about our return and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Warmest regards, The Waterlot Team
