What diners say

No diner ratings yet.

Ratings are diners’ own experience. They don’t make a dish safe; neither do we.

Where this comes from

Allergen answers come from the menu’s labels first, then the listed ingredients, then a model’s judgement checked when unsure. How allergen status is decided.

Is Waterfront Restaurant coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Menu items may contain traces of nuts.”. Eatcrush reads each venue’s own menu and says where every answer came from.
