Waterfront cafe in Colchester

Lovely food and variety of menu to choose from. Will be our Thursday night out.

Don't get the breakfast from here worst breakfast we've ever had didn't even finish it... tasted like it was all cooked in the same oil as the Chinese

The food is delicious and freshly cooked. Definitely would recommend this restaurant to my friends.

Honestly so disappointed. Ordered here so many times before. Spent £9.90 on crispy duck , not only was it a tiny portion but the amount we receive was just pure fat with no actual duck meat in it. Tried to call them back to explain we cannot eat duck fat and they had shut their phone line off 30 mins before closing. Extremely unhappy with this.

I have to say that I thought them a bit pricey but then the food is of outstanding quality and generous quantity. Delivered on time at a cost of £1:50 (should consider dropping the delivery charge) on a very busy Saturday evening. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent Chinese food although the prices will serve to make this one a “special treat” takeaway in the future.

Decided to book a reservation last minute. Food was delicious, albeit a little pricey, compared to London prices. The set up of the restaurant is a bit all over the place and some music wouldn’t go amiss to create a bit of atmosphere, however ultimately you eat out to enjoy good food and that we did. Would we go back? Yes.

On Mersea Island - The worst fish and chips ever. Please take them off your menu, very disappointing! I hope your Chinese food is better, stick to that and leave Fish and Chips to the professionals instead of trying to take cash off passing tourists. The fish batter was flat, pasty and had a weird grainy texture like poorly mixed Chinese batter you'd find on your pancake roll. So oily and could not taste fish, was it frozen perhaps? Shocker!!! The chips tasted like the whole Chinese menu, just odd!

Delivered a truly wonderful meal to us this evening. This is the first time we have ordered from here and we were so please with it, tasty and hot. Thank you.

We had a lovely eat in Chinese meal at the Waterfront tonight. The prices are more expensive than our local BUT the portions are about twice as big. The vegetables in the scallops were fresh and crisp, and the scallops were tender. The beef in the beef and mushrooms was soft and delicious. The spicy chips were delicious and flavorful.The staff are warm and welcoming without being false. The place was very child friendly. We had a great time and if we are in the area again we would go back.

Went with a party of five and we were all very impressed. A modest sized menu, but I see that as a good sign, and each of our dishes were excellent. Friendly and informal.
