Gorgeous food but service left alot to be desired. Waited more than 20 mins for our order to be taken. That was after I asked if we could order food!

Nice atmosphere and great food! We had the signature dish, which was delicious. Service was fast and very nice. Will definitely come again, maybe as well in the summer to sit outside at the canal.

The Quality of food was fantastic, however what it gained in quality it lost in quantity. Both me and my partner were still hungry after the main course. Also on their website they posted that two courses before 7pm was £14. When we received the bill it was £15 for two courses, I asked the very nice waitress about it and they said it was an old menu. Whilst the £1 didn't bother me much it would have been nice if they kept on top of it considering I got the £14 price from there website only 4 hours before we went to eat!

Fantastic food from the super tasty oxtail risotto starter to the succulent turkey main. A great take on traditional Christmas pudding finished off a fab meal. A good range of beers to choose from (no fancy wine for me, though I'm sure there was some). Service was just quick enough, could have been a little more attentive however.

The main course was promising but the side dish was getting cool by the time the main dish arrived. Restaurant decor was very plain, although the canal location doubtless makes the venue nice in summer. The staff were courteous but lacked enthusiasm. Overall, given the relatively high prices charged, I cannot give this restaurant a higher rating.

A nice intermit restraint with friendly staff and reasonable food. The portions were a bit on the small side for me but not for my partner.

We enjoyed a wonderful meal. If you like quality food but not out of the way prices you owe it to yourselves - try it.

Small, but interesting menu. Friendly welcome and good service. Our food in general was very good, except for my duck breast which was not. The restaurant dealt with my complaint very well; the owner came out to apologise and offered a glass of prosecco and we were not charged for my main course. We will return.

The food I had was very nice, the service was quick and efficient. The only slight downside was the limited choice on the menu, particularly the vegetarian selection.

I was disappointed with the quality of the food and felt the price was overly priced for the standard of food. Service was adequate, only my wife and I and another couple were here. I feel this place would be ideal for lunch.

An excellent meal from start to finish, great service as always with food to match, the fillet steak was cooked to perfection and we even found room for a dessert, we'll be back soon as the new menu starts next week.

Nice restaurant setting but the weather let us down a bit. We opted for the lunch bits which were good. Also my wife and I went for the £10 shared mix of puds - very worthwhile.

Another excellent meal, and even though it was an unusually busy evening due to a private party the service was still attentive and there were no delays in our food coming to the table.

Food and drink was superb if just a little overpriced bearing in mind the lack of ambience. It was disappointing to be the only customers all evening but we did have the maitre d'it's full attention. The location and restaurant itself seemed 'temporary' and the surrounding area appeared 'tired'. Menu choice was limited but sometimes that can be a good thing.

Our first visit to the Waterside and certainly won't be our last. Very friendly and informative regarding our aperitfi's. The food was of high quality and very tasty, with a lovely ambience and views over the canal. The staff where attentive withoutbeing over the top. Overall our experience was very enjoyable. It is nice to see a top quality restaurant in Shipley.
