I love this place. Great staff, lovely food, not overpriced. And a view to die for.
Lovely food in the most magnificent surroundings, made to feel so welcome! Our favourite place on the island ����
Amazing place to eat, food high quality and great amounts. Great to see lots of happy staff only too happy to help. Amazing sunsets here too a simply bonus. Also dog friendly.
Excellant freshly cooked food and friendly service. They prepared an amazing individual Vegan dish for my daughter.The location and views from this restaurant are stunning and it is definitely worth a visit.
First visit here yesterday, what a fab place, friendly staff, brilliant food and we even had a little dance to the live music - thanks everyone you made us feel very welcome and gave us a fab first experience - will definitely revisit again
Came here for a Father’s Day lunch. Luckily they had a last minute cancellation!! We had the Sunday roast. Superb. Food & service was excellent. Definitely would return. Highly recommend.
The food was great, good value, friendly and efficient staff and a good vocalist to keep us entertained! It was a very good eating experience and me and my friends will be going back again!
We are at the Waterfront the last 2 nights of our holiday it’s a great restaurant in Totland Bay overlooking the sea. Great food and friendly staff we would use this restaurant again
Been coming here for a night of food for the last 6 years. Must say the food just gets better and better. Last night I started with sardines with Thai mussels for main. OMG absolutely delicious. Believe me I'm a foodie man. With food taking up a big part of my life. Staff in the pub and the service was fantastic. Trust me try this place. Well done water front
What a find, looking for somewhere else and stumbled on this one. Ordered IOW crab and lemon mayonnaise sandwich . Utterly amazing , fresh , simple local food. We’ll be back
Popped in for a cream tea but they don't do them anymore.
Cheesy chips were very nice though.
Drinks were good too.
Lovely spot in the summer when the weather is good.
Dogs are welcome too.
This was an amazing experience! The restaurant is located on a quiet beautiful beach, the tables have a view of the sea. The food was just delicious and practically everything on the menu was available in a gluten-free version. Adding our dairy-free diet was no problem at all. And all the staff was really helpful and friendly.
I recommend visiting this restaurant. ❤️
Very nice restaurant overlooking the beach with views across to Hurst Castle. Great atmosphere as it filled up with evening diners on a beautiful afternoon. Outside seating area offering lovely views in the garden. A cross between a funky beach bar and a good restaurant. Parking at top of hill and steps lead down to garden area.
Lovely restaurant in a beautiful location, we had a reservation but sadly was the only table that was sat inside with no sea view. Food was good but not as exceptional as the view and friendly staff. There was also a error on our bill where we seem to have a couple of drinks added to our bill which we haven’t ordered. But all in all, it was a good experience and still thought it deserved 4 stars
My wife and I eat at The Waterfront 6:to 8 times a year. Given we have to travel from the mainland to the Isle of Wight to be able to do so, means this is one of our favourite restaurants on the island.
Food, especially the fish to is good to excellent. Menu changes regularly with some staples eg fish and chips always present. Menu is largely Mediterranean influenced - no bad thing. Drinks a extensive and reasonably priced - usually 2 or 3 real ales, including a local ale.
Staff invariably pleasant and chatty. Sea views from the windows a constantly changing vista. Wonderful.
Overall, prices reflect the quality of food, the cooking and location. A big plus is it's open all year round - real quality food refuge in Winter.
Very delicious food. You can’t go wrong. Bit slow to serve but the food is worth the wait. Great for kids also.
We came down for dinner when staying at the Sentry Mead nearby and it's an easy walk. The restaurant is right on the waterfront (as the name suggests!) so beautiful views. Food was great and service friendly
Such a great find we went two days running for lunch so glad that we did! Superb service and amazing food with specials changing daily a gem of a place
I had sea bass with risotto and broccoli for main and Vanilla & Mascarpone Panna Cotta for desert.
Sea bass was fried beautifully and risotto was cooked to perfection. It has been a long time since I had such a delicious risotto.
The desert was out of this world. Absolutely worth the money, and the added bonus were the views and the fact that dogs are allowed inside the restaurant!!! My dog got very spoiled and was given treats!!!
Absolutely recommend this restaurant.
Delicious food, Mediocre service.
If you want to get seated by the water, you’ll probably have to book in advance, especially in the summer time season.
Every time I requested something from the waiter I got a nasty side eye from her for whatever reason. When she came to give us our water she slammed it on the table as well. It was very uncomfortable all throughout, but she might’ve been having a bad day, who knows.
That being said: My oh my, what a mussels chowder!! Probably the best I’ve had in a while. The bread that comes with also delicious. The seafood orzo bake was tasty but not the best.
Overall - would recommend. Gorgeous place by the water but I had an unpleasant experience with the service.
Definitely the best fish and chips ever, fish cooked perfectly without the usual oiliness from a lot of chippies. Chips fluffy inside and crispy outside. Calamari had a delicate crumb and was super tender. Home made tartare sauce just added the final touch. Our dogs were allowed which is great. The staff were friendly and the service outstanding. Would go back and I do recommend this restaurant which is right on the beach. The atmosphere is great with magnificent sea views.
Delicious seafood in a beautiful setting with a view of the ocean and hurst castle from our table. Managed our party of 10 admirably. Great menu for kids too with plenty of options. Really kind staff that went the extra mile, even posting a jacket back to us that was left behind! We’ll be back!
Amazing food using local produce. Lovely venue and well position by the sea. Can highly recommended. The staff were wonderful too. We went on Friday and back again today as we loved it so much. Well worth booking ahead so you are not disappointed.
We had to pre book as it was very busy as its very close to the needles approx 5-10 mins. Staff very helpful and attentive, quick service. My friend had the mussels, which was on the specials menu, they were huge and plentiful. Great view over the water. Lovely sunset views.
Sunday morning hot chocolate and lovely atmosphere with amazing views
Food was really nice, good choice of beers and the location down by the water is hard to beat. Staff were friendly and helpful. My only suggestion is it would be nice to see bottles of condiments provided rather than sachets.
A chance visit at 4pm with the intention of having a drink. Only seating outside was available or at barrels in the bar. We enquired about a meal, they were fully booked but offered us a table for 5pm provided we could vacate by 7pm this was ideal added to which we where then allowed to use the table for drinks for the hour. Being such a beautiful spot waiting was not a problem. Lovely views through the open plan restuarent out into the bay. Good selection at the bar and excellent menu options. We had a lovely meal in a vibrant friendly atmosphere. A gem of a restaurant. Glad we found you.
A lovely place to sit and enjoy the sea on a sunny day. Parking close by. Good choice of food as well. Friendly staff and plenty of benches and tables for a sunny day.
