“This was a really good find. I've lunched three times so far, and can't wait for the next occasion. Found the staff friendly - service prompt but no rush. Wine list large and informative with some good wines at a reasonable price. Menu offered adequate choice. Naturally I've tried the basic dishes- lasagne, spag bol, tiramisu.

“Having read the other reviews on this site, I had high expectations. Not all of them were met. My views on La Mimosa: -pleasant service. -great location and views, especially in the patio garden. -nice decor and roomy. -limited menu (not necessarily a bad thing), nothing particularly exciting and no pizzas. -I ate the swordfish. Dry (served suspiciously quickly, but then again the restaurant was quiet at that time), served...”

Okay for drinking but don't waste your money on the food! - review of The Waterside by Tara

The food is overpriced and not well cooked; my vegetables were hard, I asked for mash and got greasy 'fast food' chips instead, the pan-fried chicken was bland, and the peppercorn sauce on... More »

Review of The Waterside - review of The Waterside by M Henry

They've spent a few bob on the interior, but unfortuantely not on the chef. I've eaten four or five dishes here and everyone has been bland and uninventive at best. Their idea of... More »
