Rude and unprofessional service. The view was lovely but then the food especially the seafood platter was extremely average for the price ($300). Also, my brother felt really sick after the meal :(

The service and ambience was excellent, the wine beautiful, and most of food delicious. We went there to experience the seafood platter. To our dismay the crab was very small, questiobable whether legal, and one of our guests got food poisoning from a king prawn. Very disappointed and thus the poor rating.

Menu was very limiting, not all options advertised were available. Steak was without alot of flavour - very bland. Service was excellent though - the waiter who looked after us was very good at his craft.

This was my first visit in a couple of years - we use to go often, however the new owners haven't kept up the standards. Terrible service, very average food. Won't be back.

Service was average, food was OK but a bit more attention to the final plate could be done. Entree's were over priced for the quality you recieved. Think that was the last time I go there, has dropped a lot over the past 5 years

There were 4 of us for lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed the ambience, the water views, the food and service, even the weather was great. This restaurant is moderately priced and I would have no problems recommending it to others.

Excellent views, excellent service. Fairly expensive, but very few views like this in Melbourne. Char grilled snapper was amazing, as was the linguini. Highly recommended!

Although the location is very picturesque, the food was mediocre considering the premium price that was paid. A few things were forgotten it's not accetable when platters go up to 500 dollars

The staff were lovely, very attentive and polite. But the decor and music are so wrong for a restaurant on the water. It's got accents of Turkish or Moroccan and appears confused and it looks cheap. Two of our dishes were not very appetising, the Morton bay bug risotto was lovely. The food and menu promised a lot but didn't really deliver.

$80 bottle chardonnay served at room temperature. Unbelievable. Two orders of lobster and salmon Wellington. In both cases lobster was underprepared and over cooked. Both pastry casings were seriously burnt on the bottom. They should not have left the kitchen. There was no pride in the presentation of these dishes; no attention to detail at all! An unacceptable "dining" experience. First and definitely last!!!!

Great location but the food was not at the same level. Nothing really to complain about but the standard was that of a very good pub meal but the prices were not.

The food was very good with every effort made to accommodate a food allergy. However, the service was lacking. We constantly had to ask for water, our next courses and coffee. This coloured our dining experience.

Will not be rushing back. Told no crab or lobster available. Hard to believe from a restaurant on the waterfront that presents a seafood menu. The meals that were selected as second choice were fine. Table service was friendly but attention to detail was lacking.

Nice venue with good views. The food was good, with sufficient variety, particularly for a group with varying tastes and ages. Service was good, with staff attentive and having a happy demeanour (a smiling face goes a long way).

We had a lovely time. We happened to be sitting next to the owners and they were very friendly and generous. We originally were out along the deck area, but it was a bit warm and they were happy to move us inside.

Hadn't been here for 12 months and won't bother going back. Whilst the service was fine and very friendly, the food was average at best. It was extremely overpriced pub bistro food and that's not a fancy pub I am referring to, just an ordinary suburban pub, if that.

A very nice restaurant and the food was delicious. Good service as well. We don't like oysters, so we asked them to delete them from the entre platter. We would go again without hesitation.

The restaurant décor was nice the music wasn't too loud and view looking out over Port Phillip Bay with the sunset and the spirit of Tasmania departing made for a pleasant night. The staff were very friendly and the food was really nice I had the steak which was cooked to my request and my wife had the whole baby snapper which she enjoyed and my daughter had the salmon fillet which we all had a taste of and agreed it was also very nice. The range of cocktails was suitable and they also had a very good list of wine and beers. I would be happy to recommend the Waterfront to anyone.
