Waterside Bistro - Shipley

So great to find a resto in the area that focuses on fresh, locally grown and produced food cooked to the highest standards. I had Coley that was done with a nice burnt skin with a lovely moist texture — perfectly cooked. The wine selection was varied with lots of good reds and whites by the glass, unusually so. Definitely will return. A local gem.

Staff was very friendly. Food was delicious, the sous vive venison was melt in the mouth. Scallops was fresh and sweet. The monkfish was substantial too. We also ordered the black creme brulee. One of the best deserts in a long time. Highly recommend and can tell the skill and passion of the chef. Will try and visit again

Absolutely delightful dining experience. My friend and I shared the steak for a celebrity and specifically requested it be cooked rare, as many other restaurants tend to overcook it. This steak was one of the best we have had in a long time. For starters, we enjoyed perfectly presented shrimp and a spectacular salad. The service was attentive, friendly, and overall excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others and hope to visit again for dinner soon!

Absolutely incredible. The best food I have ever had! I could eat a whole tank of the lobster bisque.

Our second visit to this hidden gem of a restaurant was just as impressive as the first. Our group of four was once again extremely pleased with the service, food, and the friendliness of the staff. When making the reservation, I was asked about any dietary restrictions, which was a pleasant surprise as most restaurants do not inquire about this. I mentioned that we needed gluten-free and vegetarian options, to which they responded without issue. Our meals were delicious, and our waiter made sure to confirm that my friends' gluten-free meals were served correctly. This was our first gathering since lockdown, so we had a lot to catch up on and ended up spending a good three hours chatting, eating, drinking, and laughing. We never felt rushed, even after the kitchen closed and we were the only customers left. Thank you for a five-star experience - we will definitely be returning!
