    Wow, a great experience in fine dining matched to great seafood and impeccable service. Wine, Oysters, Calamari, Pork belly with a final Rock Lobster main… well done to all involved. A intimate evening where the Standards were kept very high all the way through to the powder rooms. Would recommend to anyone Brighton waterfront. MR

    Great food and fantastic service. Our waiter Sam was personable, and very good at his craft. Couldn't fault our experience. Thank you to the team at Waterfront Brighton.

    We always enjoy our dinners at Waterfront. From the moment one enters, the sophistication and decor draws one to be prepared for the excellence to continue. Every dish that has been served to me there has been par excellence. Last night’s WA Blue Eye was encased in a delicate batter and cooked to succulent perfection. The pommes frites are fried to just the right shade of light tan - not those pale limp straw coloured examples that constitute chips at other, lesser establishments. I would go so far as to say that Waterfront is the stand-out in the Bayside area.

    We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary on Tuesday at Waterfront. The staff were lovely and the food was great. They even gave us a complimentary champagne.

    We had a great table and the atmosphere was pleasant. Perfect for date night. The only let down of this experience was due to the service. Unfortunately this was slow. We had to remind our server of a drink we had ordered multiple times and it still arrived incorrect. We also ordered wines and requested these arrive with mains but they arrived with our entrees. Sadly it felt as if our server didn’t pay attention to us.
