I've been to the waterfront a few times all very pleasant. I've only done brunch here so I can't comment on the dinner. Brunch is solid, drinks are good and service is nice. I hosted a birthday/golf clinic here and it was really a wonderful experience! Unfortunately the weather didn't let us enjoy it fully but everyone was so accommodating and helpful. Would def suggest to check it out when it reopens in the spring. The atmosphere is nice and it's really pretty when you eat outdoors.

This was an unexpected treasure to find! Located on the Bally's Golf Club, this restaurant boasts beautiful a picturesque outdoor dining experience that makes it a hidden gem. Overlooking the Hudson and settled between views of both the GWB and Whitestone Bridges, the background views are stunning just past the refreshing and relaxing landscaping of a professional golf course in the foreground. The hospitality and service were top notch and the food was delicious as it was presentable. My family and I enjoyed every dish... nothing pompous but rather comforting foods with a classy presentation and a flavorful flare. Highly recommend, despite being a bit pricey.

The food is simple, fresh and consistent. The service is perfect regardless of who's working that day ! Love the fact you never have to ask for water. Great happy hour! Beautiful views The bar is clean. We will continue to take a walk to this spot for a great happy hour! Cheers

Relaxing with sangria.

I was going to take my parents up to City Island when I remembered this restaurant was on my list of places to try. It is a restaurant in a Trump owned golf course. There were people in their polo shirts coming off the golf course as well as people just there for a meal. We went for Sunday brunch. My mom had crab cakes and a ceasar salad, my dad had pizza, I had the truffle burger and my son had a cheeseburger that looked the same size as mine. I have to say I loved my burger. While I differ on our ex presidents views, this place knows how to make a great truffle burger. We all enjoyed our food. I opted for the bottomless brunch while everyone else had the brunch. The service was great. The server made it truly bottomless. I had several different drinks and liked the red sangria the best. I loved the relaxing atmosphere and view of the water. It's hard to believe this place is in the middle of the Bronx.

When I was going through heartbreak, my friends took me here to hangout and take my mind off of it. Sitting out there and looking at the grass, the sky, the clouds, the water, it honestly healed something in me. Just sitting there with the wind in my hair and the quiet murmur of the other diners around me felt calming. The food was great too, the only reason I minused a star was the service was quite slow. Maybe it was just an off day for them like it was for me but I'll go back and confirm :) Really a gem, I'm surprised I've never heard of it.

A thumb up and definitely will return. The Waterfront NYC at Trump Link (Ferry Point) is a nice place to dine or have a drink, for non golfers as well. The neighborhood around it is a little depressing but the facility itself is very decent. Setting. View. Service. Food. All good. We ordered Margherita pizza and pan seared Faroe Island salmon, which decorated w/ pea shoots, baby carrots, three kinds of cauliflowers, are just perfect for the summer. Their thick beurre blanc sauce is delicious. Guess Mr. Trump didn't spare any cost, i.e. the passing golf cars are silent (compare to some courses using gas and are very noisy, as obnoxious.) Also, the little handheld payment processor is great too.

First time here. I don't think it will be my last! Service was good. Nick was our server. What a big, spacious dining area. Outdoor dining as well, but it was too hot to eat outdoors! We had Thai chili wings, crab cakes, grilled chicken and the truffle pizza. Everything was good. And came out in a timely fashion.

I live in the area and had no idea that this place existed! A friend of mine invited me here and it was very cute. We came here during COVID and when outdoor dining was becoming a thing. We had some awesome food and a couple of drinks. This restaurant is really cute for a date, especially outside where you get to see the bridge, the sunset (depending on the time you go) and the golf course.

What a beautiful place to have lunch/early dinner. We were seated outside and what a view. Felt like we were dining at the Hamptons. Drove by this golf course plenty of times while driving past the Whitestone bridge and did not know they had such a beautiful restaurant on site. We went for lunch and ordered the steak, lamb chops, calamari, charcuterie board and cocktails. The lamb chops were a big hit! Would definitely come back again.

Service: 10/10 The employees were very friendly. They were kind and had a nice smile on their face. That is what customers should be looking for when being approached by waiters or waitresses. They were very helpful with the menu option. Food: 10/10 I started with their hot chocolate with whipped cream. Man! It was delicious. The whipped cream, by the way, is optional. It does not automatically come with the hot chocolate. The texture was just right. I picked a good day to drink hot chocolate. I have also ordered their standard Belgian Waffles with a side of sausage. I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed with the quantity of the waffle. They only give you one. Additionally, you'd have to ask for the butter. Butter does not automatically come with the waffles. The syrup is or at least should already be on the table once you're seated. Even though I only got one waffle, it was delicious. Furthermore, you have the option to add whipped cream to the waffles. They will add the whipped cream to the waffles for you. The same can be applied to pancakes. When all is said and done, they will offer you a blow-pop lollipop. Overall 9.5/10 I will be back. I am unsure if they do reservations. It wouldn't be surprising if they did. Their menu options and pricing were reasonable.

Sunday Brunch - 3:21 PM…read more Ambiance: We were greeted by a pleasant host who thoughtfully seated us based on our preferences and made sure we weren't placed near a speaker. That attention to detail was appreciated. The crowd was mature and respectful, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The music selection offered a nice variety and complemented the brunch experience well. Service: Our waiter was friendly and attentive. When I requested lemon and an additional brunch menu so my husband and I could each review the options, I learned that only one menu was provided for the table. Since I tend to take my time deciding what to order, having a second menu would have made the process much easier and more enjoyable for both of us. I asked for the menu and lemon he said he would come back and he NEVER did.. we had to ask for it twice . And at the time of ordering our meals it's then when they beamy us the lemons to squeeze into our glass of water. Food: I had the chicken and waffles . Nothing difficult to put together. However if you are going to state on your menu that it's chicharrón de pollo was bland no taste I had to ask for lime to give it some salty mess to it. My husband steak and eggs which came with rice. Steak was chewy he said it was ok nothing to brag. Over all I will give this place a 6 out of 10

Our drinks arrived promptly, I will say there was some inconsistency in how our drinks were mixed since one of the vanilla drinks was sweeter than the other but other than that all drinks were delicious. The food on both times that I've been here was delicious with everyone at the table enjoying their meal. I've yet to have a bad experience here. I would say if you are debating trying the restaurant, take the opportunity to as you won't be disappointed.

The Sangria Cafe is quite a place and has excellent service. I had my mind set on ordering…read morenonfortified red sangria, but discovered they only have brandy or other liquor infused sangria they make in small batches. You cannot order a fresh carafe or pitcher of sangria with the fruit in it here, which is what I was expecting from a place headlining sangria. So your experience of the Sangria Cafe for sangria will come down to whether you like yours fortified. I like my sangria freshly made to order with just the wine and chopped fruit, but you may have a better experience at Sangria Cafe if you prefer fortified sangria. So the Manager, Elios, was superb. He told me he would let me taste the red, white and lychee versions to see which one I preferred. Given they are all fortified to an extent, I chose to order margaritas. I prefer mezcal margaritas, but they did not have mezcal at the time. So I went with the tequila classic. It was good and I had it to go for my evening at a cigar lounge. I also ordered food to go: the French cut pork chops with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus and the braised beef short rib with small potatoes and broccoli. Here's a twist: the food was better than the adult beverage at a place emphasizing the latter. At all times, my server, Hector, was superb in his own right. Service is probably the strong suit at Sangria Cafe, followed by the food. The French cut pork chops taste like they have been marinated or at least brined. You will eat these down to the bone and you will pick up those bones to clean them. The garlic mashed potatoes were great too, but the asparagus was a bit overcooked. On balance, this $30 dish was satisfying and would have been better had they included a little gravy on the side for the mashed potatoes. The beef short rib at $38 was even tastier. I appreciate the chef took the time to get a good cut of short rib and trimmed the excess fat down to a leaner cut. The meat is inherently marbled with fat, so the flavor is already going to be as present as the savory tenderness. If you dine at a restaurant where there is excess fat on the beef short rib, know the chef there is not putting in the work to trim all that fat. Coudos to the chefs in the Sangria Cafe kitchen for their trimming work. This is even better than the pork chops and you'll savor every bite. The broccoli was overcooked here, so the chefs could restrain themselves on the cooking time for the veggies. The small potatoes were perfect and what is not to like about marbled beef and potatoes. Here they have a little gravy with cooked onions to add to the savory pleasure. The Sangria Cafe is a great place to come with friends. This place will see lots of action as the weather warms. The atmosphere is upbeat and the music is in full swing. This is a Latino and Afro Latino crowd. The kitchen and service are very good here. Perhaps I'm in the minority preferring nonfortified sangria, but I wish that were an option with the chopped fruit in it. Perhaps the majority prefers the fortified hit, but it would be nice to have it more relaxed with just the wine as summer approaches or at any time of the year. Please keep the mezcal in stock as SOP for the mezcal margs. Thanks to Elios, Hector and the chefs in the kitchen. 3.5 stars.
