Great view, ambiance, delicious food excellent location

As always great food and wonderful service......A1

Quick service - appreciated being able to order food and drinks from the table. Food was generally good. Nice views

Some of the food was mediocre and we had to ask for cutlery

First time we have used the Royal on the Waterfront. The view from the restaurant was so calming even though there were lots of people around. The tables were well spaced and even though it was fairly full it did not feel cramped in any way. The serving staff were very polite, helpful and efficient. Will definitely go there again.

Beautiful outlook, lovely ambience, great food and value for money

Great food great service great view recommend to anyone

Didn’t eat, menu was not varied enough. Moved on to another restaurant.

Initially understaffed in the restaurant (at 12) but by 1 or so more staff had come onboard and it was better. The staff member with the bright pink hair was actually rather snarly. Food was delicious and we liked the choices.

I wouldn't eat anything there the food is terrible. Pizza (gluten free base) was inedible. Totally overpriced for pub food. Even the basic side salad was bland. It's hard to believe with the location the food could be so average. Would not go back and I live in the area.

Great venue and great food. We ordered a $170 bottle of red with lunch that was on the menu but not on the app and we could not get table service for this even though we had a seated reservation. Just a little disappointed at that but all in all was a great experience

Service was poor was asked to move table despite booking. Spent over 250 and was asked an extra 2 for crackers really on the cheese board

Delightful sitting outside looking out at the water. Disappointed to have footy menu but the fish pie was delicious. Didn’t like having to go inside to order but apart from that the service was very good.

Great service. Great location. We will definitely come again

Restaurant was stylish and clean. Food service was reasonably prompt. Wine a good standard. All up, a very pleasant place with good service.

Always great service and tasty food but on this occasion was spoilt a little because of the rude bar person.

Going back on the 1st though!

Wine selection is very expensive . It did not compliment the reasonable prices on the food menu.

The food was really nice and our group enjoyed our lunch

We waited 10 minutes for our drinks order to be taken after we were seated..unfortunately it took a further 20minutes for 2 beers and a wine to arrive..... the food was average in quality for the high price and there were other people around us who were experiencing the same problems as us...such a shame and disappointing as it was a 70th Birthday lunch.

Very overpriced. Undercooked meat when we asked for well done.

Terrible service and atmosphere. So many mistakes from the staff ... I really wanted to leave . I had dinner inside with strong airco and ambiance of retired people ...

Chloe’s service was outstanding.She went above and beyond to make our18th/90th birthday celebration special.

Out of 4 meals 2 were fine, 1 ok and 1 terrible, Only 1 Fish pie available at 1pm when not at all busy, the Boneless Charcoal chicken was neither boneless or Charcoal grilled, the chicken was anaemic and tasteless with 3 grill marks on it. Told it was a new menu and will let the Chef know.

Service was much slower than we have experienced in the past
the fish pie was only fair

Beautiful venue, but there was a severe lack of service. In saying that I'm not sure where the problem was. Staff didn't come to the table to ask if we would like more drinks. On ordering 2 bottles of wine only 1 arrived and was just put on the table. The other bottle never arrived.
The staff were very pleasant, but not attentive.

Beautiful setting. Love how easy ordering from the table is. Food was delicious!

Hosted a party of 6 - not used to ordering drinks by phone so was constantly going to the bar. Would have liked an old fashioned wait person for drinks orders.

Bar staff good - atmosphere good. No salad or veg with meals - chips with steak nothing else. Nothing with King Prawns

Lovely place to eat, our first date was here 3.5 years ago and it's just a great place

An entree was ordered by one person who asked that this come out with the main meals so as not to hold up the order. The entree was served, nothing followed. We watched as people arrived after we were seated, they were served and received their food before us. We enquired with the waiter, who it seems did not tell the kitchen to bring out this entree with all of our mains. We waited longer, still nothing. One of our guests went to find out where our order was and explained what we could see around us re others being served and was told "Fair call". Once the food arrived, half of the table mentioned that their meal was cold. The food was overpriced for what we received. I would rather have sat at an outdoor table and ordered my own food and drinks using the at table QR code. Unfortunately, we had elderly guests and it was too hot for them outside so it wasnt really an option. We also weren't very impressed that the bill could not be split. These details while you are making the reservation might be handy to know so that people can get organised with their money and not have to rush to find a cash machine in the heat. l In this day and age it seems ridiculous, especially as essentially this is just a pub.

View was great .. food excellent.. but very hard to read menu when it got dark .. perhaps a few candles around or more above lighting ... we were on the window side with no lighting at all

Have visited regularly. Usually excellent service and food. Most recent visit however, a couple of dishes were below par in size and flavour- Only 3 Skull creek prawns for the the price was a bit steep. The sweet potato caponata was very small also for the price.

Pizza was amazing and reasonably priced. Service was quick and we were looked after very well. We sat outside, beautiful weather and The Royal were kind enough to bring water for our little bulldog as well. Overall very satisfied.

We went for Sat lunch . The waiter was excellent, food was excellent .wine list good .
If i had to be picky ,I think the place is a bit tired it needs a bit of a revamp ..
But in saying that with covid and the restaurant industry , It would be a expense that they most probably cant afford at this time ..
Definitely go back ...

My sons and I all have February birthdays. We go once a year to Royal on the Waterfront to celebrate our birthdays together. We again had an enjoyable time. The distance between tables made conversation easy. The waitress provided still and spritzed waters and kept them supplied. We all enjoyed our meals and the venue. L. Clayton

Overall very good, would go back for special occasions, however, felt the wines were quite expensive.

Can't speak highly enough about the food and service. Both were excellent.

Oysters served were fresh, but at room temperature, not chilled.
Entrees very small portions. Average presentation.
Prices on the high side, considering small portions.
Overall, we did not get value for money paid.

Firstly it doesn’t accept cash unless you order at the till . New advice on the table to make orders online n pay by phone . Staffs were friendly but the food took ages n the steak was chewy, my spaghetti was extremely spice . A shame for a big venue with incredible view

We had a great night and the food was really nice. We could not pay separately which put a dampener on the night but everything else was good. i think we will defiantly eat there again.

Thank for a great afternoon/evening. It was great place to spend my birthday with my friends. Everyone loved their food. And a big thank to the lady that was looking after us as she found a table outside for us to enjoy a wine at the end of our meal. Thanks Claire
