Actually had a really good time here! The drinks were great, food was sooo worth it and the service made the whole experience better. Javier the manager was super attentive and made us feel really welcomed! We got the seafood capellini and the tomahawk steak and both were so good. Saturday nights here have the best energy too, the live DJs and overall vibe were elite read more

This restaurant has beautiful views but the food was subpar. The pasta was mushy and the lobster was hard. It didn't even list the dessert on the prefix menu and we all agreed it was just a crumble cake from Costco. Not a great value, don't waste your money. read more

Waterside Restaurant & Catering - Stunning view any time of day! - New American Near Me - North Bergen, New Jersey

Food was great from the apps to the main and the dessert. However the waiter wasn't great. Not great customer service. When asked to take our photo he didn't seem happy. Refused to give dessert menu when asked because he wanted to clear all the mains first. Didn't seem happy to serve us. View was great , ambiance was good. Overall , this place is great and will surely comeback, hopefully we get a different waiter. read more

I celebrated my birthday here with my boyfriend and it was a nice experience. The views were amazing! Our waiter was very patient with us as we ordered drinks then asked him to take photos outside then order food after. I'm glad he didn't get annoyed at us for taking some time with that so the customer service was great! We order sangria for drinks and they were different than any other sangria I've had before but it was good! I have a lot of allergies in food so I decided to order a few appetizers and my boyfriend ordered the pasta dish. It was a nice venue and I believe it turns into a bar later on at night but we didn't stay long after eating as we had drinks prior and just wanted to go back to the hotel. I'd recommend it, the apps were good and the views were great. Nice change of scenery. read more

I came here for New Year's Eve. It is valet only. It does get very busy on the weekends. It's a fun place for dancing.

We reserved an outdoor table but were seated right next to the kitchen instead, which was disappointing. When we asked to start with appetizers, the waiter James gave us attitude and said we had to be ready to order everything at once, from appetizers to entrees. Throughout the evening, the service was unfriendly and unhelpful, for example, when the food came out, we didn't even have plates and had to ask. The waiter brushed it off and told us to wait a few more minutes. Honestly, the service was the worst part of the night. On top of that, when we asked for a simple photo, James responded with, 'okay, but just one photo,' which felt unnecessarily rude. That being said, the food itself was excellent and the ambience was beautiful, which makes the poor service even more frustrating. The experience could have been amazing if not for the attitude and lack of basic courtesy from the waiter. read more

I will start by saying "come for the view and ambiance only." Location is right on the water with great views of NYC. They host a lot of parties and events in the upper levels. Food is ok, nothing special. The seafood tower was not as fresh as i would have expected. The veal osso bucco was under whelming. Service was gracious with a few hiccups. I will end by saying "come for the view and ambiance only. " read more

Food was terrible the price too wasn't posted $105 for a porterhouse that was cooked well-done when asked for medium rare. The view is nice that's why it has 2 stars but the preparation and the menu is very lacking especially when they charge way too much. The salad was lack luster. Could have stayed home and just cooked myself. Won't be coming back. I didn't even take pictures that's how bad it was. Only good thing is they did refill my water alot. read more

I had my baby's first birthday here and it was a great experience. Had about 65 guests and they were all very pleased with the venue as well as the food that they served. The venue was beautiful with lots of natural light with the view of NYC. The manager that was in charge of my event, Shantal was so lovely to work with. She was flexible and very helpful throughout the event. Definitely would recommend this place for any big parties that people are planning! read more

Great ambiance... The View! Speaks for itself! Came to meet my friend for a for a quick drink/bite/ meeting. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. She introduced herself & recommended a quick bite. We ended up having the pizza flatbread like she suggested. Also had a lemon drop martini with a sugar rim! Ask for Sasha. She made a heck of a drink! Will be back! read more

First of all, they have these heaters that are on you the whole time you eat and you're sweating to death. The shrimp cocktail was good something that's very hard to screw up. We had a beet salad and they gave you a quarter size cheese with a ton of beets. When we ask for more cheese, the waiter looked at us like we were from another planet. He did bring a little more cheese which they charged us for. I had a $49 filet mignon that was overcooked sent it back then it came back rare there was no winning with this. My friend had a pasta she liked it. It was good. I tasted. It wasn't anything out of this world. Our server was very nice. He made some suggestions but after a while, it got slower the service let's say the place is beautiful. The ambience is young and very pretty bar and our view was OK but they do have really good views of New York City, but in this review, been there done that won't go back again. read more

The waiter was too busy socializing with the young women in the next booth. Of the four of us, the pork chop was the best while the other three dinners were alright. read more

This was my second time at this location and definitely had a better time this time around. My friends took me out for my birthday and made reservations for 6pm. When I arrived I pulled up to valet and its only tip. I walked in and was greeted by the hostess and she sat me with my friends. The ambiance and view of this place outweighs everything else. Cosmo was our waiter and he was good. For my first drink I got the raspberry martini and it was ok. I then switched to pinot nior which was ok. For dinner I got the mushroom pappardelle. It was just ok, I had to add salt for a better taste. My friends got the chicken and the steak frite. They both said the food was just ok. The only problem with this place as I been here twice and the food is just mediocre. Eveything else from the service and the ambiance is pretty good. If you don't want the party atmosphere I suggest coming on a Sunday or during the week. read more

This was my second time here , the ambiance , music and service was good. It was as busy as I'd expected for a Saturday evening, which was good we were seated promptly. Now, on the other hand, me and my girlfriend both ordered the grilled salmon and garlic, mashed potatoes, which both were very bland. We had to add salt and pepper to both dishes . I hope this review helps with fixing that issue. read more

Had dinner here with friends last Friday evening. Was not our first and most likely won't be our last. Beautiful venue with an absolutely gorgeous view! The food is always good and filling. This time around we ordered filet minon, scallops, tuna tartar, salmon, bang bang shrimp and tuna. All were hands down cooked to Perfection and incredibly tasty as always. For dessert we shared the cream brûlée, chocolate cake and bread pudding. The chocolate cake was my absolute FAVORITE!! I swear I'd rerun just for that dessert! The cake was HUGE. The ice cream went along perfectly and the whipped cream alongside it was fresh and just perfectly complimented the dish! See my pics although they don't do justice to the flavor nor presentation. The drinks were just meh. Friends had cosmos and they enjoyed. I had two pomegranate martinis and neither were a strong at all. Friday evenings they have music out back. It was Ok and the crowd was lame but we had a nice time regardless. Breathtaking views of the city and perfect for a sexy date or evening with friends. Not for kids weekend evenings-definitely not their scene. read more

This is a well known hangout spot with a "waterside" dining experience overlooking NYC. I have yet to dine in so I can not comment on this experience, but I come here to enjoy a drink or two, and to check out the view. They have indoor and covered outdoor seating. Also, uncovered by the water for those nice summer nights. Great date spot if you're trying to impress someone, but it is also a club/lounge type of place so it can be crowded at times. FYI: Plenty of free parking outside the restaurant area, or you can valet. I believe the valet is only for those who are dining in. read more

Went to dinner here on a Saturday night with a group of 6. The music and liveliness really picked up around 10 pm. As for our dinner, it started on a poor note with murky tap water with pieces of something swimming in it. The manager did see and pretty quickly gave us bottled water that he did not charge for. We shared appetizers- onion rings tower (5/5), stuffer zucchini blossoms (2/5), bang bang shrimp (4/5), spicy tuna tartare (3/5), arugula salad (3/5), Brussel sprouts (2/5), baked clams (4/5). The overall appetizer standout was the onion ring tower followed closely by the bang bang shrimp and baked clams. Unfortunately, all the others were extremely mediocre. For entrees, I tried the black ink pasta (5/5) which was really well balanced with the butter sauce, chilis, and shrimp (generous shrimp portion!) They warned me that that dish was spicy but I found it to have mild spice if any. The other entree I tried was the seafood capellini (3/5) which came highly recommended by the waiter. Unfortunately this one fell short on flavor. The pasta itself did not fit into the fish and tasted like it belonged in a kids menu rather than a complex seafood dish. The seafood itself was fresh and a generous portion. We finished off with the cheesecake which was my personal favorite dish of the entire meal. The consistency was perfect and the contrast of the fruits added a tart flavor to every bite. We did order a coffee that we never recieved but they removed it from our bill when we brought it up. The restaurant does have a beautiful view especially the enclosed outdoor area which does have heaters. It's unfortunate that the service and food quality is falling short because this location has incredible potential! read more

I've been here a few times for events. You have to use the valet or you risk getting towed in an unauthorized area. I suppose it's reasonable for there not to be a lot of parking options on the water. The decor of the restaurant is nice enough. There's windows along the walls for a million dollar view of the Hudson River and NYC. I think the view is most likely this places best attraction. I can't really speak for the price, but the person who had their party here said it was the cheapest they could find. I'm skeptical. They served the food buffet style and had an open bar. The drinks and the food were both very good! I'm sure you get to chose your menu specific to your party. Go to their website for specifics on booking your party. I don't think you can go here without attending a party. read more

for the amount of money that this restaurant charges for dining here they should be a little bit more accommodating. They flat out, informed us that they would not be accommodating to my daughter who has a gluten intolerance. There was a prefixed menu for Mother's Day and the restaurant manager informed the receptionist that they would not accommodate to her special needs simply because it was a prefix. menu. At this age, not being able to simply eliminate flour or gluten from a meal is simply pathetic especially at a restaurant of this caliber. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who has any family members with special needs or food, allergies. read more

Came here for a birthday. (I mean, there were a ton of birthdays being celebrated.) But Christian made the night special. He was very attentive and made sure everything was perfect. Everything came on time and when we asked for something else, he made sure that someone got it to the table. Even his picture taking was impressive. He made sure there was flash - then no empty plates - then nothing distracting on the table when he took the photo. After a certain time, they have a night life. It was pretty great that we didn't have to go anywhere else after our dinner to enjoy a little music and dancing. read more

Great spot. The ambience was great and the service as well. We arrived a bit early for our reservation and were told we would be seated as soon as the entire party arrived. So we sat at the bar and ordered an appetizer and two glasses of wine. The fried calamari and fried scallops were fantastic. When we were seated the waiter promptly took our orders. I had the Chilean sea bass. The sauce was too sweet and overpowered the fish. I also think my fish was undercooked. My wife ordered the filet mignon they were good but very small. The service was great, the vibe was great and so was the ambiance. I was just disappointed in the food. Will give them another shot in the future. Just gotta order something else. read more

its a good place to hangout after work to grab a drink. they have an outdoor area. then theres a view of the skyline. i gave it 3 stars because you need to valet and also sometimes it gets crazy packed. went there one night and i had to wait a long time for the bartender. also the food wasn't that great. i ordered tacos for appetizer and i got the smallest tacos ever, they were the size of a quarter. read more

Waterside has greatly declined. Once was a great restaurant with great service and food but that is no longer the case. Food was not great. Edible but not good. Drinks were ok. Service wasn't too good either. For the price you pay, there are deff other places that are a lot better. I'm sad I hope waterside can take the advice and go back to the nice and great place it used to be read more

I used to come here 2010 to 2015 This place was a great restaurant elegance With sweeping views of the city and on a great night they would open the sliding glass doors and you would feel the breeze from every part of the restaurant. The food was great. The atmosphere was great and then they would have DJ music at night. It felt like you are in miami I recently came here again and the whole place changed. It looks like a sports bar with A metal patio eatery that destroyed the whole outdoor vibe. I don't know who decided to read vamp. That restaurant they totally destroyed the gem And the food is in that great anymore I guess when they sell it and they reopen it. They'll make it better looking again read more

This is the second time for me here. The food is outstanding! I don't know of a better assortment of exquisite tasting food as is available here. Although I am an Italian American, pasta is not my thing. I ordered the Seafood Capellini strictly due to the lobster, clams, Maine mussels, scallops, fresh Gulf shrimp, & the lobster sauce! I ate every strand of the surprisingly delicious pasta!! Although our waiter had a bit of a dry personality, what blew our minds was his honesty in serving our party of 14 (12 adults & 2 babies). When it came time to order dessert, he encouraged us to order only 1 Waterside Specialty Dessert - how caring, non pushy, & non salesy! The dessert was extremely tasty Will absolutely return and would strongly recommend!! read more

We were really excited to try Waterside, but what started out as a great night, ended up as a horrible evening. The ambiance here is beautiful. Inside and out. We started outside with apps, fried Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and the tomato and mozz. Both were good. We liked the eggrolls more than the tomato and mozz. We both also had drinks, they were good as well. We moved inside for dinner. I got the filet mignon and my partner got the seared tuna as our mains. We were both let down by our dishes. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly, and was buttery soft, but really lacked in flavor. The sauce they give you to pour over, needs a major flavor overhaul as well. Bummer. $200 later, we left, happy. That changed a few hours later. About 4 hours later, I started to get violently sick. I don't have to detail it. It's everything you can imagine. I was up for 4 hours until my body finished rejecting the food. A few hours after I laid back to sleep, my partner's stomach issues began. Not as violent as mine, but same. I called to speak to the manager, just to make them aware, in case others had called to share the same. He said he hadn't heard of anyone calling to mention food poisoning before. And he said he thinks food poisoning takes about 48 hours to take effect, which can be true in some cases, depending on the bacteria ingested. But not true in my case. My issues started a few hours later. I copied and pasted some common food poisoning germs below for management's reference, so you don't think people are misinformed. These are just some possible types of food poisoning within 30 mins of ingesting food: Staphylococcus aureus (Staph) Symptoms begin 30 minutes to 8 hours after exposure: Nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps. Most people also have diarrhea. Vibrio Symptoms begin 2 to 48 hours after exposure: Watery diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, vomiting, fever, chills. I was disappointed in his reaction. I wasn't asking for money or for anything from them. I was simply trying to let the restaurant know. But to almost not acknowledge what happened post eating at their restaurant really lacked accountability. Won't be returning. read more

Everything was off from the minute we stepped inside. 1. First Impression - The hostess was nice but made no sense. We made reservations for an outside table and she asked us if an inside table was okay. We let her know that we wanted to sit outside and became aware that an outside table off the main patio was available. While they were getting our table ready we sat at the bar for a few minutes and no bartender even acknowledged us. When we were sat, our table was not set with a tablecloth like the others. Weird, but not a dealbreaker. 2. Strange Interactions - Within minutes of sitting down the manager approached us before our waiter and asked if everything was okay. After eventually getting drinks, our waiter came back over to us to ask if we were ready to order. We told him we wanted to order some appetizers, but were not ready to order our entrees. He told us he could not take our order until we were ready to order everything. We took another few minutes and then placed our order. The whole staff including our server seemed disinterested in being there and made no effort to make our experience worthwhile. 3. Food Allergies - I live with severe peanut and tree-nut allergies and when I informed the server of this, he sort of brushed it off and you could tell he either did not understand or did not take it seriously. He told me nothing I ordered had nuts in it, but I asked him to inform the kitchen of my allergies anyway and he told me no, I'll be good. I then asked him what type of oil they use, confirming it's not peanut oil, and he said uhhhh olive oil. I'm pretty sure they do not fry their onion rings and fries in olive oil, but hey if they do they may have discovered something because those were the only good things we ate. Shoutout to the fry cook. 4. Food - The food here was flat-out underwhelming and way overpriced. The zucchini flowers were disgusting. I'd like to see the chef eat them and see his reaction. They were soggy and tasted like a burnt omelet. For anyone who cooks out there, it was like they dipped them in egg and flour to fry them but completely forgot the flour part. My girlfriend's steak was overcooked, tough, and discolored. This would be acceptable if they weren't charging top dollar. Way overpriced and the food is just bad. Overall, the location is nice and the place has potential. Our drinks were good and we had a nice view. However, I wouldn't go back for even a free meal. read more

I don't write bad reviews for a restaurant and I've also never had food poisoning. I am a board certified health care professional and have over 10 years of experience diagnosing and treating patients from newborns to elderly. I was on the frontline of the COVID Pandemic. I had dinner at Waterside on 1/17/2025 at 9:30pm. I had the Oysters which the waiter recommended trying the west coast oysters. They tasted very different. Lobster Mac and cheese which didn't taste good, steak cooked medium which wasn't flavorful. Approximately 3 hours later, I had volatile vomiting and diarrhea. I received 3 bags of fluid in the EMERGENCY room and was diagnosed with food poisoning. I started feeling better once the food was out of my GI tract and system. I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager on 1/18/2025 at 7pm. Not only was she rude, condescending and unprofessional she wasn't helpful at all. I don't write bad reviews but to save yourself a trip to the ER and prevent explosive vomiting and diarrhea, avoid Waterside restaurant. read more

So sad to give this probably a 2.5 star due to service. We had a dinner reservation at 6pm and were seated right away. We ordered apps and enjoyed them. It wasnt until we got our meal that we felt rushed. We were about an hour into our dinner and the waiter hands us a dessert menu and tells us it's a maximum of 2 hours. I've never felt so rushed at a restaurant before. When we ate dessert, we're handed our check... at one point one of the waiters pointed at their watch and pointed at our table. Then we paid our bill and tipped 18% and the waiter comes up to us and says "it's recommended 20%"!! I was shocked at how unprofessional it was!! Food: 4/5 stars read more

Came here for a bridal shower and I FELL IN LOVE.

I would have preferred if each event had their own. Aside from that the food was delicious and the views made it that much better. read more

The food is okay, what got me to put in three stars was the friendly service and the great view. The food is just a little underwhelming.

I saw the mixed reviews and was hoping this place was worth it. IT IS!! One of the best meals I've had out. Everything was 10 out of 10! Seafood Cappellini was loaded with lobster - wonderful portion and so fresh. I don't like pasta (I ordered this with dish foe the seafood) and yet the lobster sauce on the cappellini was so delicious!! If I'm eating pasta, you know it has to be good! The steak special was incredible! So tender and the mashed potatoes (also not something I usually like) were amazing - buttery and super flavorful. Brussel sprout side was huge and cooked perfectly. Loved that I didn't need to add salt to anything. Do not skip dessert! Banana bread pudding with choc ices cream (swapped for banana ice cream) was YUMMY! Service was very nice but busy. The ambiance was o beautiful sitting outside, we didn't care. Can't wait to go back!! read more

My review is strictly based on my recent visit for a reserved private event. First, the valet parking was simple and efficient, I normally hate valet, but it was much easier to let someone else deal with parking. The host at the entrance directed me where to go and I took the elevator up to the third floor where the party was being held. The space was lovely, modern, and clean, with a lovely view of the water. The event had an open bar, and the bartender was wonderful. All the staff I interacted with were polite and worked hard to make sure everything was cleared promptly during our dining experience. As for the food, well, perhaps if I wasn't a vegetarian, I would have enjoyed it more. It was a fixed menu, and I was given delicious asparagus and mashed potatoes like my omnivore companions. Unlike everyone else's dish, they topped mine with a mountain of squash, zucchini, red sauce, and covered it with cheese. It was a very bizarre combination and I think they can do a little better. Waterside is a fitting name, it's likely where you'll want to get rid of your food when you're done. read more
