Best Waterfront Restaurants in Bayside

We had such a nice lunch with Clay as our server. We were celebrating our daughter’s 15th birthday and Clay went above and beyond to make the occasion special! He brought her a lovely mocktail and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a perfect table by the windows to watch the silly boaters row backwards on the lake. I had the spring pasta, our daughter had the chicken Milanese from the specials, and my husband had the tuna tartare. I had a delicious cocktail, and then Clay surprised our daughter with dessert , a candle, and the Happy Birthday song. It was truly a perfect luncheon!

Always excellent service, great ambience, and great moments being shared at Blend On The Water!

Beautiful Views, Amazing Food, and Great Vibes Waterfront NYC completely blew me away. The view of the water alone is enough to make you want to stay for hours — calm, beautiful, and perfect for a peaceful solo outing or a special meal. The atmosphere was classy yet relaxed, and the service was attentive without being too much. The staff made me feel comfortable and taken care of from the moment I walked in. I ordered the steak eggrolls and the cilantro lime chicken bowl, and both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were bold and fresh, and everything was beautifully plated. The mocktails were also a highlight — refreshing, fun, and a great touch for a non-alcoholic option that still feels elevated. Whether you’re looking for a place to unwind, treat yourself, or enjoy great food with a view, Waterfront NYC is a must. I’ll definitely be coming back. — N.E.

Perfect meal! The apps were great and plentiful. The garvies burger was amazing! We also had the skirt steak and it was cooked to perfection. Great dessert choices. Overall a fun casual environment. We will be back soon.
