Let me start by saying, the decor and design is gorgeous- but I wouldn’t go here if you’re all about food. My friends and I were met with pleasant hosts, very polite and welcoming. We had been offered a lovely, spacious, corner table, though our view was restricted slightly by pillars so we couldn’t see the entertainment as clearly. In general, the energy and atmosphere of the venue certainly made us feel elegant. The food service was prompt, and the dishes on the menu seemed decadent. We noticed that the dishes themselves did not come with sides, like rice or noodles so remember to order those separately. My friends chose the Szechuan chicken, the satay chicken, one of the wagyu beef dishes and I chose the lamb cutlets. The sides we ordered were fried rice and spicy noodles. For a Chinese style restaurant, we were very disappointed with the flavours. Most dishes (as we shared) had one note of flavour running through. There was no depth or dimension to the dishes and some were just overpowering with one nuance. Even the dim sum flavour was bland, which we had gotten as a starter. The wine we chose to taste off the menu was lovely, so I would recommend getting a few starters and wine at this particular place, perhaps on a date night. The food aside, the immersive entertainment was fantastic. The shows ran every 15 mins and as we went on the 2nd November, they were Halloween themed. We had characters walking around coming up to our tables and interacting with us, which was impressive. While the wait staff were generally lovely, they seemed a bit overwhelmed. Two of my friends had ordered mocktails, and we had ordered an extra portion of rice but these never came but they did not add these to the bill either. I would recommend being very clear with the order when the staff come to take it down. I would visit here again, but only for the entertainment and maybe a few drinks.

Where to start? 1. Really rude on the phone 2. When we called we asked for a booking for the bottomless dim sum deal which they made. arrived there and were told they didn’t do it anymore… even though they’d booked us for it the day before 3. Prices were different on the bill to what they were in the menu, ended up at £80 for like 5 things 4. 4£ for a cup of green tea, expected a pot or tea leaves. It arrived and it’s literally just a mug and teabag. That’s fine! But not for £4 5. We ordered the vegetarian dumpling platter. When served they repeated that they were vegetarian, despite obviously being prawn. when we checked with another waiter he accepted they were prawn. 6. All the dumplings on the mixed platter tasted the same, and was £18 for like 6. Genuinely couldn’t tell if they’d either given us 6 of the same or if the fillings were just all bland. 7. We ordered vegetation Dan Dan noodles, when they arrived they told us again they were vegetarian with mock meat. Should have known after the dumplings but didn’t believe they’d serve us meat twice after we’d already complained... We only found out the fake mock meat was actually pork from the bill! 8 Photos of Chairman Mao all over the walls downstairs???, just a bit weird! Avoid

This was our first visit to the Water Margin and it was a Wednesday evening. On arrival we were initially surprised at how busy it was but after experiencing the extremely attentive service and partaking of the delicious food we realised why it was so popular. We had the buffet menu, meaning we could have as many different dishes as we wanted and it was a very full menu. All the dishes looked very fresh and appetising and were extremely tasty. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff were friendly and regularly checked on us. We will definitely be back in the not too distant future.

Nice food staff very loud maybe some of them could try smiling a little bit more, if you're buying a takeaway maybe a good evening how you would go down nice and a bye thank you for your service in stead of bellowing out your name and pushing your order towards you. No it's still the same unfortunately update

We read the good reviews, so we thought we'd give it a try. We went for the set all you can eat option. We were not disappointed at all. Everything we had was piping hot, tasty, and good quality. If we were staying in the area longer, we would be returning. On our next visit to Filey we'll definitely be back.
