My daughter and I dined at Fontana 20.11.08. as part of a birthday present. The service was efficient, attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Our meals were served promptly and piping hot. The live background music was a lovely touch but not disturbingly loud. Thankyou for a lovely evening.   (Susan Vaccaro - November, 2008)

Great food, great price, the night we went it was packed and therefore the sevice a little slow but still nothing to complain about. Forget the other reviews bagging price or service apart from 2 waterfront restaurants Fontana is the BEST IN TOWN. Seriously and I am a chef.   (Chloe1 - November, 2008)

We had a great night, the family were so impressed especially the cockatils and the size of the meals. The kids enjoyed themselves too. We all walked out very full and planning to come back again very soon!   (November, 2008)

I had a Greek salad drenched in balsamic vinegar. I think my tongue dried up before i could finish it.   (August, 2008)

Restaurant response - I am sorry about your greek salad being over dressed & we have looked into it & solved this mishap on this particular day. There is no excuse for this & we most definately appreciate your feed back. thankyou.   (October, 2008)

Overall 7.8 - Food 8, Ambience 9, Value 5, Service 9

a little over priced considering menu options were very very limited   (August, 2008)

Restaurant response - Im very sorry you thought we were over priced, but whom are we comparing with?

We often get compliments on the quality & large portions of our meals, and a menu that consists of 10 entree, 6 salads, 10 mains, 14 pastas, 4 desserts, a set menu with 5 options & a table d hote menu,

I consider this a wide range of choice & variation for the size of our kitchen considering we would feed over 200 guests on a Saturday night (average) between 7pm - 9.30pm.

Your comments & feed back are appreciated & valuable to our business, thankyou.   (October, 2008)
