Great spot. My kangaroo was good except for the spearmint sauce all over the plate, and an odd tart that had no right being matched to the roo. Similar odd mix o flavours on my wife's plate. Not at the level they obviously think they are.

My partner and I ate in Watergate twice so that shows how good it was! The restaurant is surrounded by huge plants and lots of fire torches giving a great atmosphere.

Have eaten most places in Port and was very impressed by the food at Watergate. Food was fantastic, had the duck pancakes and kangaroo - both beautiful. Will definitely be returning!
Love the open air surrounds and old trees, provides for a lovely atmosphere.
Service was attentive
Food selection not bad - good vegetarian options.
Downside was the chicken with speck dish - meat was great but in a very cold cream sauce.
Steak in coffee jus was lovely.
Best dish was the chocolate dessert though - one for the chocoholics...

Place was great food delicious and appealing to the eye ! Value for money only problem was the service was a little slow but other than that beautiful surroundings great vibe and nice music
Carnivale - Saturday night - very busy but service and food was really fresh and very good. Really worth the little stroll down the walkway to suburb outdoor dining & still protected from the elements if required. Excellent - 4th visit
