Perfect spot and lovely views accompanied by some veryNice food. Highly recommend. Ask for dining upstairs which offers lovely views over the harbour.All 4 of us enjoyed our fish & chips and chicken and chorizo. Very good selection of wines as well.

Eaten here several times and never disappointed. Food is excellent,, service is very, very good (Ella is brilliant) and I actually saw someone turn to the bar and say “Same again, when you’re ready” and they didn’t even ask what it was. Proper service, excellent food and service. Incredible pork crackling by the

We had a works Christmas lunch booked last week. In the run up, the staff were dismissive, rude and uncommunicative. Upon arrival it was clear the staff did not know their drinks menu, or seem to care. Service was ok during dinner but the food was awful. Pre packaged crisp breads (not crostini) served with the terrine starter. Anaemic pigs in blankets, frozen roast potatoes, rock hard carrots, generic stuffing and instant gravy on the Turkey dinner. My treacle, pear and walnut tart was frozen in the middle when served (although quickly whisked away and reheated when mentioned) and no walnuts at all. I would really expect better quality food, especially when serving a pared down menu. There are local competitors charging two thirds of the price, using fresh ingredients, serving delicious meals.

Superb location over looking the Marina.It was my first visit to the Bistro and it was mid week so probably not the best time for judging the atmosphere. The Food and Service were good and I would certainly go back again.

I visited here with a client on a Friday lunchtime and we had a lovely experience. We chose from the 2-course for £26 menu which was great value. The food was excellent and well-presented. The restaurant has a lovely ambience and I would recommend it for a lunch for either business or pleasure.

Had dinner here before going on to see a concert at the Corn Exchange. What a fantastic bistro. Food was excellent - 2 Sea Bass and a Steak were all terrific. Lovely decor and ambience and the staff were excellent, providing for a really enjoyable meal.

Had lunch then stayed for the fabulous “Soul Sunday”. The singing was beautiful and the lively atmosphere was great fun. Staff and standard of service were excellent. Had a great chat with Greg, one of the owners, who clearly took great pride in the Waterfront and was a pleasure to meet. I would highly recommend a visit and will go back whenever I get the chance.

Very rude and disrespectful.

Sophisticated food, great service, good value. You very rarely get all three together these days. We were particularly impressed by the freshness and quality of the ingredients from scallops to the stem broccoli. We eat out in London and Aldeburgh. This was the best we've had for a very long time.

Very dissatisfied with how a quiet complaint to Greg the owner about my meal which I wasn’t happy with was met rudely and handled aggressively with excuses and complete disregard of my opinion and experience. Greg seems to have an answer for everything and really doesn’t care about how a customer feels in his restaurant. This has caused the loss of a regular customer plus friendship group moving forwards. Very unprofessional and badly handled indeed. Although, acknowledging his wife for the understanding and listening to feedback. I also noticed that this isn’t the first time this type of thing has happened in the restaurant as July 23” a very similar review has been left which again, Greg had an answer for.

Great place. Beef carpaccio was one of the best dishes of my life.
