    What a delightful culinary discovery in Cambridge! While the restaurant's setting is pleasant enough, it's the extraordinary food that truly steals the show here. The kitchen's expertise is nothing short of exceptional. Each dish emerged as a masterpiece of flavour and presentation, demonstrating remarkable attention to detail and creative flair. The chef's commitment to excellence was evident in every carefully crafted course, making this establishment a genuine haven for food enthusiasts. The service was impeccable – attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable without being pompous, and delivered with the sort of quiet confidence that comes from true professionals. The staff struck that perfect balance between formal and friendly that makes dining out such a pleasure. Yes, the prices reflect the premium experience on offer, but given the outstanding quality of the cuisine, one can hardly quibble about the cost. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for – and here, you're paying for culinary excellence. For those seeking truly exceptional food in Cambridge, The Waterwheel is, quite simply, a must-visit establishment. While the ambiance might not bowl you over, the masterful cooking certainly will. Book well in advance – this level of culinary expertise won't remain a secret for long.

    Amazing food at the Waterwheel. We had the duck and the risotto. Both extremely tasty, duck very small portion though. Desserts were also very flavourful. Our server Piotr was very good, professional, and very attentive to our needs. There was only us and one other couple in the restaurant at the time so we got to choose where we wanted to sit. We chose next to the waterwheel which was lovely. A truly great evening.

    We so appreciate that a quiet table was arranged for us - and with beautiful napery! Real care offered to provide just the right beers and wines, given our preferences. I was thrilled that some of the food was locally-sourced but prepared with international flair. Vegan options were delicious; beef was 'melt in the mouth'; dessert, an original take on choux patisserie! All perfect for our special occasion. Thank you all.

    Arrived for an overnight stay for our anniversary. Staff went over & beyond to accommodate our need & made it special. Compliments to the chef, the starters were out of this world with amazing flavors & great presentation. Highly recommend the duck, scallops & the steak for main. Lovely setting within the watermill wheel itself with a great ambient feel. We will definitely be returning at some point. Great experience all round.
