    It was my sons 21 bday, i made a reservation to sit in the main dining room, i wanted him to enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant, instead i was seated in an area that had wires on the windows, a man made outdoor seating which i truly find very distasteful. i was extremely disappointed, i didn’t complain because i didn’t want to wait any longer. i had already waited long enough to be seated. My reservation was at 745pm and i was seated at 815pm. When i made this reservation the restaurant had many reservations available, and i made the reservation way in advance. It was really frustrating that the restaurant decided to over book and i ended having the experience i received. I will not be going back, next time i will book Maiella for special occasions.

    Hi Crystal! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies that your son’s special night didn’t go as planned. We completely understand how important these moments are, and we’re truly sorry the seating and delay left you disappointed. While our reservations guarantee a table, they don’t guarantee a specific section—and we regret that this wasn’t clearer during the booking process. That said, a wait of that length is not the experience we aim to deliver, and we’ll be looking into what went wrong to ensure it’s addressed. We understand your frustration and are sorry we missed the mark on such an important occasion. Should you ever consider giving us another chance, we’d love the opportunity to make it right.

    Beautiful venue. Staff was efficient, friendly. The food and the presentation were lacking.  More care needs to be given to the presentation. The plates needed to be wiped down and the finishing touches need to be added.

    Hi Stacey! Thank you for the kind words about our venue and team! We appreciate your feedback on the food and presentation—it’s helpful and will be shared with our kitchen to ensure more attention to detail moving forward. Hope to welcome you back soon!

    This restaurant has nothing to offer other than stunning Manhattan Skyline. - Terrible food - They didn’t have salt and pepper on the table. - Waiters are clueless about what you order. You think your food or drink will arrive only to discover they forgot. - The tables are dinky. - The diners in this place are loud and have no class - They have only one working restroom with a line extending into the restaurant section. It feels like a train station. Not to mention it smells. I was so happy to discover this restaurant due to its location. It turned out to be a HUGE disappointment. they don’t even have salt and pepper on the table. When asked for, they brought pepper shaker.

    Hi Nick! We’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t meet your expectations. While we’re proud of our location and views, we also work hard to deliver great food, attentive service, and a lively atmosphere that many of our guests enjoy. Salt and pepper are available upon request to keep tables uncluttered, and we’ll definitely review the service issues you mentioned to ensure better communication. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.

    There were 8 of us and we were seated quickly. The ambiance and music were excellent. The food and drinks came quickly and were delicious. The waitress checked on us frequently and I love that staff came by and removed empty plates when we finished eating so our table was always free of clutter. This was my 2nd time here and I would definitely return. Oh, and it's next to the East River which has amazing views to take pictures.

    We selected Blend on the Water for my mother’s birthday dinner over a Brazilian restaurant. The service was good, but we were disappointed with the food.
