Had a lovely experience at Waterway London! The salmon was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked and full of flavor. A special thank you to Maria at the front of house, who went above and beyond to help us get a table despite it being busy. She was so warm, welcoming, and accommodating, and her excellent service really made our visit even more enjoyable. Great food, fantastic atmosphere with great views, and outstanding customer service. We’ll definitely be back!

The Waterway in Little Venice was perfect. The staff were kind, attentive and really went out of their way to check we were happy with our seating, food and the relaxed atmosphere was perfect for a lazy, sunny afternoon. Food was delicious and reasonably priced! Highly recommend!

We arrived on a busy Friday summer’s evening with no booking. The maitre d couldn’t have been more accommodating and after a couple of drinks at the bar he found us a table. The food was great (shoutout for the corn and bean humous starters) and our waitress, Shwetha, was an absolute Superstar and made sure we left with smiles on our faces. Whoever does the recruitment here knows their stuff. Outstanding staff.
