This is a must visit on Paella night (Thursday)
I wasn't expecting much but was given everything.
Its not just the portion size that I was surprised by but the amount of fresh products, all very tasty.
We sat outside as the weather was great,
Booking is essential if you want to sit inside but you cant book outside.
It was busy but it didn't feel overcrowded or noisey.
There's a lovely atmosphere and the staff were great.
All polite and friendly.
The meal was very well priced at £26 for two, although the paella could easily feed 3 to 4 people.
We will certainly return soon.- Meal type

A really beautiful and popular place as I came to discover. A really delightful menu with an array of choices to suit different tastes Quite simple, yet rustic and beautifully presented. I'm not sure if they accept reservations but blink and the tables fill up (and this was just a lunchtime) I hope to return back but definitely recommend 👌

The food is wonderful, really well cooked, big portions and great quality. The meals are well- presented too and the wine list is great and reasonably- priced. Service is friendly and pretty quick and they make you feel really welcome. We went for lunch and sat outside watching people pass by and then asked them to let us know if a table came free in the evening later that week. Luckily, someone cancelled and they squeezed us in which was hugely appreciated. All in all, we had a really happy, special meal and we'd recommend to anybody.We had seafood paella- it was paella special night. Highly rate the quality and quality, could easily have fed 3 people. Views of the sea when sat outside in the covered seating area. Nice atmosphere with Mediterranean tunes playing in the background. Good value for money. Would recommend and probably will go back when visiting the area again :)

We stopped to have lunch. Inside was fully booked, but we happily sat outside away from the wind. Lovely food, good choice of drinks. Big portions, hubby had the fish and chips, I had the duck in a basket. Would definitely go back. They offer blankets to keep you warm, toilets were spotless, staff friendly and helpful. Good value for money.

First time at The Waterfront, to say we were impressed was an understatement, the food was fantastic, the chef really knows what he’s doing. Great menu (I recommend the pork saltimbocco, delicious) reasonable prices, excellent service, we loved it so much we’re booked to go again next week, this has now become our favourite restaurant! ❤️

Excellent food and service, we stayed in the park dean resort and walked to the waterfront on 2 occasions and wish we went every night. Its a great little restaurant with homemade food, the ploughman's at lunchtime is great! The Thursday night paella was also excellent. Kessingland is a small place but if we visited again we would definitely go back to the waterfront.
Best meal I had for a long time. Beautiful place. Staff wonderful I had the chicken and prawns. Portions big took some home
