Great food, great service, actually found the portion sizes a little large so left food on the plate, a great waste of well cooked food. Nice that they serve Guiness zero for drivers
We could not fault the food it was lovely but sadly at 5.30 pm our experience was spoiled by a loud 3 person table not eating only drinking !! Sad especially at that early hour when there is no consideration given to others
An amazing evening celebrating our friends forthcoming wedding. Service, food and drink were excellent, as always. Xx
We found it quaint, beautiful, authentic, picturesque and the most amazing food, drinks and service
Burger overdone lacked presentation Roast dinner except for gravy very unusual flavour
Enjoyed a delicious meal here, in lovely old building, service very good.
Outstanding location, excellent service, terrific food. What's not to like
The staff were very attentive , without being intrusive. We were made to feel very welcome. ( thanks James!)The food was excellent and although we ( 3of us) have dined in many restaurants here and abroad , we would give it 10 /10. Thanks, Joe Docherty
Lovely sunny day sitting by river having lunch very pleasant and enjoyable.
Pub was very busy, Friday evening and it was raining so no seating outside, which was all very unfortunate. But the venison was very overcooked which has not been the case in the past.
Great lunch but for oldies maybe too much food , deserts were huge . But overall a lovely lunch with great service.
First time we’ve visited for several years but we’ll soon be back! Great staff, great food, great evening, the whole family loved it!
We had the most amazing meal and dining experience! Thank you James and team! Looking forward to our next visit!
Really good service and food quality was very good, portion sizes very generous
Staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was great
It was a beautiful meal to celebrate a wonderful anniversary.
Good food with big portions sizes. Good choices of both food and drink. Our table was a bit shoogly. Excellent service.
Loved it. Amazing food and amazing atmosphere. Will definitely be back soon!
Really, really good. Great service, very good food. Lovely setting. 100% recommend
I enjoyed the smoked tofu and soba noodles in teriyaki sauce which was very nice. Other party members enjoyed the sea trout and the pork tenderloin in red wine jus.
Food was delicious, service was prompt and staff were extremely welcoming and polite. Lovely restaurant, would highly recommend.
The service was great and food was great but what took shine of it was been over charge for 3 meal we did have so make sure you check your bill when you get problem my husband card did not work on the card machine so I had used my card that was very disappointing
Delicious food, as always. Great atmosphere, attentive staff, lovely wine.
Fab client greeting from.the boss, table ready 15 mins b4 time and in favourable position at window overlooking the bridge and river. Professional and courteous and explained the menu and specials. No rush service with a smile and food was fresh tasty and above average. Presentation great and drinks refilled with nompressure to serve the client. Always loved this venue and staff so good. Recommended without hesitation.
Excellent meal, served promptly and great value for money. Very well managed business.
Another fantastic meal at the consistently high quality Waterside. I had the venison from the daily specials menu which came with fondant potatoes and wild mushroom jus and it was delicious. Excellent and friendly service as always and nice to be able to sit outside for post dinner drinks overlooking the river. Highly recommend.
The filo pastry haloumi and feta parcel would taste better baked than fried, just an observation.
Lovely meal, great service, very pleasant surroundings. Kinda nailed it!
Very warm welcome, everything was great. Would go back. 👍
Staff were lovely. Service was swift and food was great.
Food excellent with decent sized portions & staff were very friendly and helpful. Good value for money.
Lovely spot, right on the river. As it was a beautiful summer evening we had drinks outside, and then dinner outside. Food was fresh, very well prepared and a good choice. My only disappointment was that all the specials were finished by 7:45, however the regular menu was good, and everything we ordered was well prepared. Excellent service from all the staff —a real pleasure to dine there.
Excellent as usual, best food and service. Thanks to all the staff at The Waterside
Lovely food. A busy Saturday evening but good service despite how busy it was
Great day was had thank you James and all the team.
Friendly service. Food was great too. The staff was very accommodating with the 3 boys in the party.
Was our first time at the Bistro. Lovely place, very friendly and attentive staff. Great food. Would definitely return.
Always enjoy our dining experience here. Amazing food, staff and atmosphere. On this occasion we had some special requirements which were taken care of without any issues.
Service and food were exceptional, a very enjoyable evening in a lovely setting.
Our party of six had another enjoyable lunch at the Waterside Bistro. We moved outside for coffee afterwards, as the sun had come out, and enjoyed the riverside setting
We returned here after a wonderful experience in March, but sadly it did not measure up! Our waiter was lovely and very attentive, but we felt incredibly rushed, we had hardly finished our starters when the main course arrived. We were sat in the restaurant near the toilets, so there was a constant stream of people, before we had sat in the bar area, where it was light, bright and we were able to take our time. Reqlly sad, as we did like our visit in March and were looking forward to returning. Also the dishes were far too big and we couldn't eat it all.
Lunch time trip to the bistro was fantastic. Great choices on the menu and the food was excellent. Staff were first class as well and made for a very enjoyable visit. Thoroughly recommend a visit if you're in the area.
very good food nice setting will certainly be back again
Great wee gem of a find. Initial welcome from front of house staff really appreciated. Asked for a widow seat in my comments and got one. Ordered fish & chips x3. Food was excellent 5🌟. Will definitely be back.
As always - first class - and gluten & dairy free - no problem.
Loved the fish cakes, great New Zealand Riesling, excellent service
Lovely venue, the staff were great and the food was wonderful.
Great meal and friendly service. Really enjoyed our time and would want to return
Excellent restaurant with very attentive staff! Beautiful location! Highly recommended!
We had an excellent lunch today and staff gave us good service.
