THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE WATERFRONT'S KITCHEN CAFE, WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE NO SEPARATE LISTING HERE ON TRIPADVISOR
I dined here several times, there not being a huge choice in Stanley. On the first occasion I reserved in advance and was seated on the ‘high’ table with a nice view over the harbour. Excellent pinot grigio and dip starter (non-bland hummus, cumin-flavoured but not too smokey baba ghanouj and guacamole with tasty tortilla chips and pita), but a disappointing main course of oily pasta laced with overcooked veggies and a barely dressed side salad, which in the end filled me up to the point of not wanting a dessert. On the second visit I had the (vegetarian) wild-mushroom arancinis in arrabiata sauce, with a side of gratinated spinach, followed by cheese and biscuits. My third dinner was of baked breaded toothfish (Chilean Sea bass, South Atlantic equivalent of cod), served with buttered steamed potatoes and other veg, with hollandaise sauce. The dish was delicious but very rich – a more tart accompanying sauce than the hollandaise would have worked better. For lunch on my last day in Stanley I had their vegetarian frittata: satisfactory though nothing special. On the first evening the waiter had said that the restaurant would be quiet midweek and there was no need to reserve; but in the event it was full the next time I went and I had to wait for a table. Stanley is not the gastronomic capital of the universe, so this is about as good as it gets. And it does deserve extra points for the view and ambiance.

Long awaited re opening and excited to see changes. Very let down to see just newly decorated with the old layout still in existence with no facility to visit for drinks only. Pre booked for lunch by not greeted by staff and had to queue behind walk in at counter in restaurant. Sought out the only waitress here pointed to our tables and carried on with her other duties. Waited 20 minutes before had to seek out waitress again to take drinks orders. Service appalling. Food ok but drinks served. Not chilled. Very disappointed as they charge top prices for their drinks. Will not be visiting anytime soon unless reviews tell me otherwise. Really sad with limited choices in Stanley.

We booked to stay 4 nights via a local travel agency and due to circumstances beyond the control of the hotel we had 3 nights in a Junior Suite and 1 night in a standard and smaller room. However as the smaller room was for our last night and we had to get up early for the air bridge anyway it didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of our stay.
The rooms have modern tasteful decor with contemporary fixtures and fittings. Lovely restaurant where we ate every night. There was complimentary beer, coke and water in the mini bar for every night of our stay and free wifi which has to be the way forward for the Falklands.
Reasonably priced bar which, in contrast to 'the other' hotel was available all day. If your considering a trip to Stanley this hotel is a must.
