Always a good atmosphere at the Waterfront! We had the baked Brie, tacos and burger. Excellent! Extraordinary service by Charley, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome!

The chef should be ashamed of the food served to us today. We were looking forward to a nice lunch beside the water. We were served one of the worst meals ever at a pub. Ordered off the specials menu $26.00 each for supposedly beer battered snapper with chips and salad. The meal arrived after we waited 50 minutes, and the restaurant was not even half full. That should have given us the heads up. Fish was like rubber. Inside the gluggy batter was a dried up thin piece of fish that was yellowish in colour, served with a rotten piece of lemon with black and brown rot on it. Non-existent salad was drowned in dressing and consisted of a whisper of wilted and browning leaves, smidge of tomato, and 3 slithers carrot. Chips were cold, as was the fish. The table next to us also returned 3 out of 4 meals. We left with a refund in hand. Bar staff apologised. However, it's the kitchen staff that should be held accountable. Hotel Management and the Head Office should do something about this promptly. The hotel is very run down. Staff look overworked and sad. The place has a beautiful water view and breezes, such a shame that the food quality is below poor. We will never return.

Didn't stay in the rooms as only went there for lunch. Food was great only issue we had was the entrees came out and didn't even get to eat them and the meals came out straight away. So basically Didn't eat the entrees as the main meal would of went cold.

Great location and view. We really wanted a pub meal, and we were blown away by the delicious barramundi fish and chips & rib fillet flame grilled steak! Would reccomend to others. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the chips. The oil in the deep fryer definitely needs a change. Would of rated 5 stars otherwise.

Went last night for a work christmas party. The service was okay - minus one waitress that would not say excuse me when walking through our group to delivery food and appeared very unhappy to be there. Hot food platters were served cold and when raised met unfriendly response. Food was clearly reheated but not heated to an appropriate temperature for serving. Was told by staff that it was hot enough despite being shown it was not. Final platter served was fish platter (with the only hot food on it) but served cooked cold prawns on the same platter touching the hot food. Very disappointed
