    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.

    Appetizers are good, compared to main course. Ordered Tomahawk and was little disappointed with the meat.

    Best food item I had was an appetizer (spicy bang bang shrimp) so take from that what you will. Main course meals were a little on the bland side but I'll chalk it up to not getting the chef at his/her best (near the end of the night). My wife and I did have to attempt to tune out a couple "working out" their grievances with one another at the table next to ours, but other than that ambience and views were exemplary. The staff were top notch and very attentive and accommodating (especially with my photogenic wife's request for photos lolz). Satisfactory evening in my book. 👍🏼

    I saw an Ad on internet regarding this restaurant and I was really excited to try it out. Unfortunately it was a complete disappointment. I live all the way in CT and took extra time to visit and enjoy such delicious menu I saw online. The dishes weren’t great and even tho I saw the server trying his best to bring a great experience the whole staff was unprofessional and not fully trained on their drinks/food. The manager was nice enough to switch my dish since I didn’t enjoy the taste of it but I had already heard him yelling and making comments to the servers. Overall not a great experience maybe I had high hopes but it’s a beautiful place they can do better.

    The reason for the two star on the food was because the salmon was very dry and well done. I eat salmon dinners all the time and they’re never well done! The salmon got stuck in my throat and it wouldn’t go down. It was a very bad experience. The view was magnificent and the service was great. My boyfriend didn’t enjoy the pasta.
