Feedback
The reviews for the restaurant Waters Edge in Canberra's Lake all seem to agree on one thing- the location and views are stunning. Most reviewers found the decor and service to be of high quality, with a few minor complaints here and there. The set four-course menu at $77 was a source of contention for some, feeling it was a bit inflexible. However, the food was consistently praised as excellent, with beautifully presented dishes garnering high marks. Service was described as friendly and efficient, and the overall value was considered to be great. While some found the decor lacking in ambience, the food and service more than made up for it. In conclusion, Waters Edge seems to be a popular choice for special occasions and celebrations, with many patrons reporting a positive dining experience.
My partner and I had the four course set menu for dinner, with three to four choices per course. The food was superb and although the portions were small, we didn't leave feeling hungry. The service was very good, however the clanging of cutlery being cleaned behind the bar was a little annoying. Waters Edge is a lovely place to dine for a special occasion and I would recommend it to anyone.
We were fortunate enough to be there for Skyfire - great place to watch the fireworks from. Food and service were fine. Staff thoughtfully enquired whether we wanted a break to watch the show.
Looking for a romantic or special dinner out with close friends with a unique lakeside location? Water's Edge is ideal and it won't break the bank! The menu is a fixed 4 course multiple choice presentation at $77/head with supplements for some extras. The wine list is extensive but mostly little known labels - with care a group of 4 can drink at a reasonable price. The food presentations are excellent but you need all four courses (2 x entree style, a main and a dessert) if you are not to walk away hungry. Staff are friendly and certainly not overbearing. Our visits are always very satisfying and we would always recommend the venue for special events.
An excellent restaurant in a beautiful location. We booked a table following a glowing recommendation from some friends. We were not disappointed. The food was top quality and it was matched by the excellent service. This will be a must for a return visit when we next travel to Canberra.
