A brilliant dinner- the food was delicious, and brilliantly priced for phenomenal taste (I will be back for more Cullin Skink!) Our server, Hazel, was delightful and kind- her cheerful demeanour brightened up the entire evening!

We were a group of friends meeting up and out waitress was so patient with us. We weren't ready to order and it wasn't a problem, table was cleared with no bother and she was just lovely. Im sorry I dont know her name. This was our 2nd visit in a couple of months, I suspect we'll be back.

Well, the food was nice, just the slightly disappointing was part of the staff told me I was wasting my money just in the way I was requiring my meal, say it once was suportable😑 but many times was like ok, I heard you one it was enough, almost it ruined my appetite.

In a lovley location above the shops on a balcony area where you can look over the streets. Managed to get a outdoor seating area and ordered a breakfast bap. The egg was cooked beautifully but I did think the bap was slightly dry my partner enjoyed however . We both enjoyed their hot chocolates and the food abd drinks were reasonably priced .

A big thanks to all the team at Howies Waterloo Place. I was organising a lunch for 16 people. The communication throughout the booking process was super. On the day everyone couldn't have been more helpful. A big shout out to Lily, who was our waitress. She was extremely attentive and patient with the group. Feedback from everyone has been that they had a wonderful time. We look forward to returning next year!

Had high expectations, but unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. Food was okay, ambiance was nice, but the service was a major letdown - wait times between starter and main course were ridiculously long. Didn't really enjoy the experience overall 🙁
