    I unfortunately did not enjoy the restuarant. We responded to an advert to watch the Formula 1 race expecting to be able to actually hear it. I was disappointed that it was false advertising just to attract patrons. We ordered a pizza which was burned and had no taste. We actually left after the food arrived. The place has loud music as if it was a club or tavern. Absolutely not what we expected at the Waterfall polofields. There needs to be an improvement.

    Very average food, with disappointing service. Food not all brought at the same time and everyone had finished before the last persons meal was brought out. Over an hour before that last meal was brought. Terrible !

    We had the best time, It was just a random restaurant selection but we did not regret it. The welcome, the service, the food, the drinks and the atmosphere, all to perfection. A very big thank you to the female manager we will definitely be coming back soon.
