    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.

    We visited Waterside restaurant yesterday. The view of New York City was absolutely beautiful, and the food was very good. The music was also nice and added to the atmosphere. However, we were disappointed with the service. There were many waiters walking around, but they didn’t seem to be paying attention to the tables. Overall, the place is nice, but the service really needs improvement.

    They apparently don't post the price of the 38 oz porterhouse $105. Was cooked well done when asked for medium rare. Overall the girl refilling the water was excellent. Would I come back again. Not at all.

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