Set in the Stunning Exeter Quay, where there has been extensive regeneration (of the whole area) which is now looking fantastic. The repurposing of the traditional quay side buildings brings another level to these establishments. I managed to book On The Waterfront through Google itself which was really quick and efficient. The restaurant has stunning decor, which is massively enhanced by the use of the original 19th century warehouse architecture. The restaurant specialises in pizza and this is predominantly the menu options. The service was friendly, although not entirely attentive as we would have enjoyed another round of drinks. Our serving staff did change multiple times as well leading us to be unsure about a tip as there was no stand out service received (this also was not because of the restaurant being busy, as at the time we ate the restaurant was about half empty) The pizza was tasty but again it was 'just' pizza (in quotations because this is their niche and they are good at it). The atmosphere was great, really nice place to go for special occasions.

The food served here is pizza and had many varieties. You should try their 30 inch pizza if you go in a group. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great.

Good prices, app is working really good, so there will be no problems with placing an order. Cocktails are nice, pizza is really fantastic, especially with some extra cheese.

Nicely situated on Exeter Quay under the arches of an old warehouse, this bar and restaurant is a little quirky but well appointed. A good variety for of pizzas look very good and for the hungry there are oversize ones available. We had the burgers which were served with chips and a small pot of red slaw. The chips were great but the beef pate was lacking seasoning, although palatable. An extra star is awarded for providing heinz tomato ketchup in a bottle rather than those horrible plastic sachets which are hard to open without coating your fingers in the stuff. (I usually deduct a star for places providing sachets as it smacks of putting profit before customer care.)

The food options for vegetarians were not great. 2 of three dishes ordered tasted very good (the pictured ones), even if we never understood why the chips were called "Chinese". The bean dish was very bland and took way too long to arrive. We were hardly seen by waiters despite the place not being full. I understand this place used to be really good and would in other times be busting in such a sunny evening, but seems like the managerial change and the pandemic hit it hard as it was only half full. The place looks great and clean, though, being comfortable and with plenty of space. Maybe it just needs more staff and to substitute some things in its menu.
