    New York may get all the international attention, but some of the best waterfront views in the area are actually in New Jersey. This stunning venue is located on the edge of the Hudson River, offering beautiful panoramas of the Manhattan skyline with its lights glistening in the current. The sprawling space boasts two ballrooms that can be decked out to be as elaborate or as simple as the illustrious couple would like. Essentially a one stop wedding shop, Waterside Restaurant & Catering staff will handle all of the details and help create the ideal menu. Culinary Institute of America-trained executive chef Gus Shizas is known for making unforgettable food—including a Grand Marnier duck station with traditional Chinese garnishes—that’s sure to be nearly as memorable as the glamorous view.

    Went with hubby this past Saturday 3/29/25 and with our 9yo daughter to celebrate our 17yr anniversary (first time dining here). View was nice - outdoor seating was on a slanted hill so we had to switch tables and then our second table was wobbly - so we folded a piece of paper and stuck it under so nothing would fall off as we were eating. Food was ok - nothing to brag about nor pulling us to say "we got to come back!" Over all not a bad experience other than when reserving our lunch - hubby added into the notes that he would like to have a plate brought out that said happy anniversary. This never happened. When we were leaving we also asked lady at the front desk if she saw any notes in our reservation and she said "not on her end" This was the main reason for our 2 star rating. I even went back home and checked the email we received when we booked/confirmed reservation and it was there on our end with the note for our anniversary.

    We have been here multiple times before; this time was not up to our satisfaction. The waiter was not very attentive and was clueless about the menu. I think he just made-up things that he didn't know, I sent my plate back because it was not at all what the waiter said it would be. Didn't reorder a new plate because we didn't want to wait. I ate some of my wife and daughters' dinner. As we were celebrating my daughter's 19th birthday needless to say it wasn't a good night since she wanted this to be special.

    Food and views were excellent. Server was not attentive, appeared rude at times and was not friendly. Tuna tacos were on the skimpy side for the price point. All entrees were excellent.

    The service and food was phenomenal, had a great experience. The views were amazing as well, my only complaint I have is that when I made my reservation I put down it was my significant others birthday and they failed to see that, but all and all besides that one thing it was amazing.
