Me and my partner very much enjoyed our dinner here at boardwalk. The service was amazing. Very kind staff, straight away asked us if we had any food allergies which I thought was excellent. Despite there were a few tables busy with people the food came very quickly and it was still an amazing set restaurant. The food was incredible. A lovely time all round!

Absolutely beautiful restaurant - the service, views & the food was outstanding. We had bread. scollops, prawns, fish of day & lamb. Every meal was so nice. We had a 5pm booking which was perfect as we got to enjoy a few cocktails earlier in the bar for happy hour.

We ordered the ribeye steak which came with potato that were bland and a choice of sauce which we chose red wine jus - this meal was delicious but a let down with the potatoes. We also ordered the tuna tartare and it was delicious just how we expect it to be. The quantity was low so not filling. Would suggest to order entree main and dessert but this would be expensive. I would not return but would suggest this restaurant for anyone who wants to celebrate a special day or occasion. Customer service was awesome and the ambience was good.

From the first moment we walked in the staff were very attentive and obviously really cared that we had a good experience. The food was equally up to scratch and we enjoyed a couple of very nice cocktails. I really liked the location right by the waterside and we saw the Earnslaw returning to dock which was particularly special. Thanks for a lovely evening

Meals were on the smaller side but were very nice. Very nice place and shout out to the cute French waiter. Would recommend and we would return next time.
