Hosting my wedding at Waterside events was the best wedding related decision I've ever made. Starting from planning the event with Shantal, which was very easy, she was super responsive and very accommodating, she made planning a Covid wedding much easier on us. The day of the wedding Chris made sure that every detail was taking care of, from timing of all details to even making sure my husband and I ate before bringing the guests to the reception room, he was very attentive throughout the whole wedding. It rained that day so he quickly accommodated an indoor ceremony and it looked great . The

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant. The service here is unmatched and the staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere/ambience is very welcoming and charming. On top of all of this, you get a million dollar view of the NYC skyline. We used the outdoor ceremony area for a surprise proposal and even our photographer was left speechless with how astonishing the view is. The staff was extremely accommodating and understanding. I highly recommend you visit this restaurant, you'll be glad you did!

My husband and I had a wonderful well deserved night out and this place was on point, we had no reservations but they were able to take us in, the staff is very friendly and the food was a solid 8. The appetizer slow braised beef brisket should have its own place on the entree menu, it was absolutely delicious; I ordered the black ink pasta, wonderful taste a little spicy to give it a nice kick to it, definitely will have it again; my husband had the classic steak frites, it was good but mine was better. We share the dessert, a strawberry napoleon, the cream was very good, not too sweet but I feel

Best views of the NYC skyline pair with Great Food!
You need to make reservations due to outside sitting only, currently with 3 time slots of 2 hours. I was there with a small group and had diner which was very tasty and the server that waited our table was exceptional, attentive and professional. The reason I don’t give this place a five star was due to the female bartender at the bar serving drinks, very bad attitude and no costumer services what so ever. After we finish our diner we went to the bar a few time to grab drinks and bartender every time had the same attitude, she needs to be retrain
