The Waterside Bistro

beautiful food, great service and value for money, we had the steak deal and that includes a steak, chips and a glass of wine for £10, what more could you ask for .

Steak night is a bargain. They don't skimp on the portion and the wine. And as a gin lover it's also great as The Waterside has a large selection of Gins.

Staff friendly, food tasty, service excellent. I took a friend there and she wants to know how soon we are going back. Great night. Book in advance as it gets busy very quickly.

Restaurant was full. Too few serving staff meant very slow service. One guest ordered crab and was served an undressed crab without tools to tackle it. Eventually tools were supplied when requested. Pheasant was dry but partially saved by a tasty sauce. I guess every restaurant has an "off" night but this was disappointing and we will consider carefully if we visit this restaurant again

Great food, superb service. Well worth the drive from Edinburgh to get out of the city, enjoy an easy walk along the river and then retire to the pub/restaurant for a lovely lunch. We have been twice now and eacheck time it is fab.

Good food espaccialy the small ones for a board - great blackpudding bonbons and great location to sit outside at the riverside. Friendly staff. Highly rcommanded.

Excellent all round on Saturday evening. Efficient and very friendly service, food nicely produced and delicious. No complaints. However standard seems very variable. Have been when service poor and food not good, this was midweek, so maybe all stops pulled out for a very busy Saturday. It was a very pleasant visit this time. Top marks and thank you to all staff

The food here is very nice, and the setting is lovely. The staff were very attentive and service good. Altogether very nice and worth a visit.

The Waterside is an amazing place to eat.Fab food Excellent service. Good choice on menu and amazing choice of drinks especially if you like gin

Excellent choice on the lunch menu and wide range of drinks, especially Gin at the bar. Food was full of flavour, hot and served by friendly, helpful staff in a beautiful location, close to the centre of the town but far enough away to be peaceful and with a great view over the River Tyne. Couldn't fault it and happy to go back.

First visit to Waterside Bistro and we weren't disappointed. Lovely friendly staff, great service and fabulous food. We will definitely be back to again soon.

Such a pretty spot with a great selection of starters, mains and pudd... all our choices were delicious especially the chicken with mushroom risotto! Staff super friendly too.

Most enjoyable! Would certainly recommend for a casual meal out. Will be back. The staff were most attentive but not in your face. They were very knowledgeable about all that was available from the menu.

Excellent food and great service. We will definitely be back! We are glad we booked as the restaurant was really busy but all the staff were friendly and helpful
