Another excellent visit to the Waterman, this time for a late Sunday lunch. Gorgeous pre dinner cocktails, followed by great value 2 course deal. My soup and fish was outstanding. The orange rose wine was just perfect with our food. As for the Friend at Hand truffles that accompanied our calypso coffees….just wow! See you all again soon

Rushed meal and denied dessert We dined as a table of four. Due to traffic we arrived 10 minutes late, though I rang ahead to let the restaurant know. Unfortunately, the meal felt very rushed. While the staff were polite in tone, they were sharp, we were told a few times that the table needed to be returned for the next booking. Despite a long wait between our starter and main, our plates were basically cleared before we had finished, and we were then denied dessert for the same reason, the table had to be turned over. We were rushed to finish our wine, the bill was brought immediately, and the card machine presented straight away. The food itself was good, but the service let the evening down. I have never been refused dessert in a restaurant before, and I doubt that arriving 10 minutes earlier would have made any real difference to how rushed the experience was.
