Stunning location. For a coffee or a full 3 course meal Staff are friendly. And the place is dog friendly which is a bonus This is a place you can guarantee is always open even if it’s stormy outside a Seating area to watch the crazy waves inside Also outdoor seating for sunny days There food here is to die for Absolutely delicious We have had fish and chips amongst sandwiches And even Sunday lunch Which had flavours. That woke up my taste buds It’s a generous portion too But too delicious to leave Choice of puddings As well coffees and alcoholic beverages on offer Highly recommended

Disappointed, have eaten here before and both service and food were previously better. The best part of dining experience was the lovely view. Service was anything but attentive, would have ordered another drink had someone asked. Waited so long to order food, ( after drinks were served and was ready to order at that point). Similar long wait for desert menu, so didn’t bother with that in the end and went and bought cake elsewhere. Most meals looked good but I clearly chose badly, I would not recommend the sea bass dish, the very small portion of fish floating on what was basically a butter bean soup, with the advertised chorizo and kale very sparse. It needed a chunk of bread or something, quite acidic and gave me indigestion. Priced at £19 was poor value. I would’ve complained but the meal was my friends treat and I didn’t want to spoil for her.

Another excellent dining experience at this excellent place. The menu is varied, imaginative and interesting, the food freshly prepared ( so takes several minutes to arrive.... be patient: it is worth it!) There is a "specials" selection. I had delicious breast of lamb, rolled and stuffed, beautifully served up with expertly prepared vegetables and a delicious sauce in a little jug. Six generous noisettes of lamb - tender (slow-cooked) and SO tasty. My friends had different dishes and were as delighted as I was. Service is extremely efficient, discreet but friendly and cheerful. A passing enquiry is made to check you are enjoying the food.... we were! Leave a cash tip if you are happy. Great views of Hurst Castle, the Solent, its smaller ships and the north-west coast of the Island As you will have realized, we recommend this place unreservedly.

The Waterfront is without doubt my favourite go to place on The Island either for a drink to watch the amazing sunsets in summer or storms in winter as the waves crash over the roof. The bands that appear especially on Sunday in the summer are great fun and the music and entertainment is always first class whether it is Burns Night or Halloween you are guaranteed a great night. As a local we use the waterfront all year Lorna and Adrian along with their friendly attentive staff are a credit to the venue and a warm welcome is always on hand. Finally the food I have been going to The Waterfront for over 25 years more often since we moved to The Island five years ago and I have never had a bad meal. The menu is always changing to reflect the seasons and availability of local produce. The chef and staff go out of their way to provide a first class experience and I have never left the restaurant hungry. My only problem is usually choosing whether to have a Waterfont favourite or something from the daily specials menu. This is a family run business and the owners and staff work very hard all year to offer a fantastic dining experience for all locals and visitors to the beautiful Totland Bay and this is a great opportunity to say thank you and great work all!

Will never return here. Location was the only decent thing. Booked last October to take our parents as a treat. 3 asks to get a drink of water then no return the entire meal to see in we wanted our other drinks replenished. One meal came entirely the wrong order, had to send back and eat on my own. When I did get the right one it was okay but the white wine and garlic sauce tasted only of cream and nothing else. Mum's burger was so hard she couldn't eat the £18 burger, fries were cold; she ate a few bites of just the burger and a couple slices of tomato. Mum from an era of not complaining didn't want to say anything but, and I have the photo, you can see from her plate the barely eaten burger, fully left fries and bread roll. Dad having looked forward to his gluten free fish and chips was served up burnt dry chips, he never leaves any he left some. Our other group member also leaving some for the same reasons. I will say the calamari was good. Tuna Poke dry and unseasoned. Belly pork nice enough but a tiny scrap on it. They had also served a table well before us despite us being there first, not a big deal but this was on account of them seemingly just forgetting for ages to clear our starter plates. Honesty for me eating alone they should have provided some discount at their error. Yes they said sorry but it was such a bad experience with my 80+ year old parents. I would say the staff are nice but that does not cut terrible service, mostly awful cooking. Go there for a beer and ask for hot fries or try the calamari. Aside from that give it a wide birth - maybe they were having a bad day but there is little I could say positive.

Very disappointed, we had a lovely walk along seafront to have tea and cake at this recommended restaurant. On arrival the first disappointment was they didn’t do cake, only biscuits. Tea arrived; teapot not very clean ( stainless) served in Lavazza coffee cups! The tea was very nice but one of the teaspoons was very dirty. The people on the next table also commented on the teapot not being very clean. We were going to book an evening meal but if the teaspoons are dirty, we gave a meal a miss!

We found this place by chance after visiting the Needles. It turned out to be an excellent discovery. This is a lovely restaurant right on the water. There is a good selection of beer on tap and a decent wine list. The food was generally very good: both the fish & chips and scampi & chips were delicious, though my son was a bit disappointed by his burger. Prices were very reasonable; service was friendly and attentive.

Dropped in for lunch. We were given a great table by a seaview window. Superb choice of dishes, showing imagination and flair on the part of the chef. Everything freshly cooked. Good portions. Service discreet yet attentive, from the very agreeable staff. We much enjoyed our meal and left a sizeable tip. One small comment: on sunny days it is very warm in the window seats and an open window would have been welcome. We should have asked.

We eat here quite often - the food and service are consistently excellent. The specials, which change on a daily basis, are always imaginative and well presented. There are meat, seafood and vegetarian options aplenty, with dishes to suit each all palettes. The mussel chowder on the current menu is sensational and it’s worth visiting The Waterfront just to try this! Every member of the staff team is friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming, which creates a comfortable and relaxed dining atmosphere each and every time we visit. The views of the sea are unmatched - it feels like you are on a boat such is the closeness of the water. You are sure to witness magical sunsets and awesome wave shows depending on the weather! Thank you to the whole team here - both kitchen staff and front of house work together to create a great dining experience. We always look forward to dining here.

Superb Roast on Sunday! We had a new years visit for the weekend over new year and visited everyday attests for drinks. The roast was divine! Greeted by lovely staff, our requests for a large table and children was executed providing plastic cutlery also for our toddler. Staff were very happy and helpful there’s an air of good team spirit we witnessed a lot between staff - it’s a great atmosphere to be around. Service was paced great not rushed nor slow. Just right. The portions were amazing and to taste food that evidently is not just bought but fresh and for some items such as the brownie for dessert we were informed was made and baked freshly from the WF kitchen - we could tell from the taste! Prices are very fair especially with the portion sizes! The restaurant has beautiful views even when the waves are crashing! and a real family vibe with well behaved fur friends who visit in the dog friendly area too! A truly lovely visit, a hidden gem tucked away in Totland bay. Not to be missed.

Only gave this one star rating because you can’t give a Zero rating - food was five star but the service was shocking from start to finish. What a thoroughly miserable bunch of female staff, not one of them capable of a smile or a please or a thank you between them. We felt harassed throughout our meal, at one point 2 members of staff hovering wanting to know if we wanted dessert. Dinner was served by Lucy either slamming the plate down or sliding it across the table. Our friend had to go to bar to ask for the bill and we went from being harassed all evening to being ignored - in the end I went up and asked if they actually wanted our money. I then said in the 7 years we have been going there we have never experienced such terrible service which was met with a shrug and couldn’t care less attitude - we only live down the road but we won’t be going back in a hurry - there are plenty of places in West Wight that serve equally good food but have brilliant staff.

Wonderful views and good food. Staff wear masks and clean tables but hand the same sticky plastic menus to everyone without wiping them. Single use menus are advised during Covid.

Great food at reasonable prices. Situated overlooking the sea, this restaurant serves very very fresh fish, beautifully paired with accompaniments. We ate there most times during our nearby stay, due to the excellent food.

Our first meal out after lockdown, and we weren't disappointed. 6 of us booked a table overlooking the sea, and as in the past, we had superb food and fantastic friendly service. Definitely our favourite isle of wight restaurant.

We enjoyed a visit to the botanical gardens & decided to stop in to their cafe /restaurant for a bite to eat I must say that the views were stunning looking out onto the gardens , we were lucky enough to get a table on the veranda where a local choir were singing & it made our day The food menu is quite limited but there were a nice selection of cakes available & lots of unusual teas too The food we did order was delicious .. but they were small portions for the price ( I must admit it was one our most expensive eats while on the isle of wight!) All in all a great setting to enjoy a cup of tea & drink but maybe wouldn’t go back for food

From the outset the bar staff were friendly and helpful and could not be faulted the food was exquisite and the portion sizes were just right , the value for money was spot on. The ambiance with the view over the Solent as the sun went down was captivating Thank you Seaview Hotel for a memorable evening

This is a great 'out of the way' place to stop and have a quick bite to eat or drink, the cafe is set in the grounds of the abbey and there is seating inside and out. A lovely location on any day. There is a small menu of food available. Plus homemade cakes and hot drinks
