We have dined at the Waterside on several occasions however that last 2 visits have been "just ok". Maybe need to re-visit the salad that is served as it looks like something served from a local cafe. Not sure if the Chef has changed in the last year but unfortunately we won't be back any time soon

Amazing as always. We knew what we wanted, staff are amazing. Only problem was a really smelly dog at the table beside us that couldn't keep the dog under control. Nothing to do with the waterside though. Leave your dog at home. I'll be back, smelly dog or not
