Still, not formal dining by any stretch; more upscale casual.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, the service was great and it had a very comfortable ambience.

It was, err, panned as "Denny's with a view of the water."<BR/><BR/>We've got a gift certificate to this restaurant, which I guess offsets the value proposition a bit, but we haven't managed to get out there. After Saturday, I wasn't sure..

I think any flash in a restaurant is rude unless someone has a cake with lit candles in front of them. In this case, I had to use the camera in my work cell because my digicam was out of juice. Typical stupid rookie food blogger mistake.

Your pictures from that Singapore/Malaysia trip are really haunting me though. I want some food from that region, but Rasa Malaysia tells me there's none to be had in our neck of the woods. =(<BR/><BR/>Elmo,<BR/><BR/>It wasn't bad at all.

I haven't been myself but have heard reports from friends and family that Waters was double trouble: bad food at high prices.
