Great location and great food. The Waterway was lovely for a sunny Sunday lunch and stroll around Little Venice! 🔸️The Ham Hock Croquettes were delicious and the mustard sauce was sublime! 🍔The Beef Burger was juice and tasty! 🧀The Mac & Cheese was really light and creamy but not too rich! It was busy and while our waiter was very sweet and apologetic for the delay (we waited a bit to order after being seated). I do feel that the manager, instead of going around and putting the customers at ease and saying "I can't take your order", they could've stepped in to help the waiters a bit more rather than just make that statement and not really aleviate the pressure. Other than that, everything was great! Huge thank you to our waiter, didn't get their name! 👏🏼

My friend and I wandered in on a cool summer night due to the Google Reviews about their brownie with ice-cream. Their patio is lovely, with heaters outside and great view of the canal. Plus there was live music! I was tempted by the gnocchi, with English peas and mushrooms. The sauce was delicious, but the tanginess of the pickled mushrooms clashed with the creaminess - perhaps just a personal preference. My friend’s cocktail was delicious, and the rest of the drinks menu looked good as well. Looked to be a good place to bring a group (peep the pitcher of Pimms…). The brownie was well worth it in every regards. Decadent chocolate, fudgey, salted caramel, with a solid scoop of vanilla bean ice-cream perched on top. The service was a bit slow at the end, with us waiting a few minutes for the bill and having to ask twice. Albeit slow, they were all very kind. Would return again, especially for outdoor seating with a group!
