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.

busy and crowded in bar area, good atmosphere, food and staff.
The food at the Waterside is always exceptional and the restaurant is charming.
Lunch with a friend - Food was lovely and service excellent!
Great service. We sat outside as it was a beautiful day and staff were very attentive. Food was delicious we all had different dishes.
We had a lovely meal. Great service. Amazing spot. We've been before and can't believe it's taken so long for us to come back! We will not wait so long next time.
Lovely restaurant and very friendly and efficient staff. The food is well cooked and presented. Good choice of meat and fish dishes but poor vegetarian choice. Great choice of beers and brinks and the setting by the river is beautiful
,Good food (Haddock, excellent batter, & Chips) and apple crumble, although you can’t serve a crumble that is all soft. Even sprinkle it with separate crunchy crumble if it’s been microwaved. Texture is everything. House wine (Sauvignon Blanc) good. Excellent service, although dining area so noisy, we could hardly hold a conversation.
Loved the quality for the food, extensive use of local produce and the attention to detail. Staff were excellent in supporting and enhancing the experience.
Nothing more to add -we all had a very pleasant evening with excellent food
Lovely characterful restaurant in a riverside location. Attentive but not bothersome staff and top notch food.
Poor seating. Service without a smile. Very ordinary for price charged for food. Left feeling very disappointed.
Friends took us to the Waterside. They enjoyed it very much. Thought the food was very good and the service was too.Would come again.
It is many years since I have been to the restaurant, it won’t be so many till next time
Lovely meal and super staff.Very friendly atmosphere.Good menu choice too.
