Went here for New Years. The rack of lamb was delicious. The drink menu variety was good. The Cinnabon martini was delicious. Service was very good.

We recently went out on a Tues night. It was active, but not crowded. We were taken back when the hostess seated us in a small area that already had two full tables., and we almost left. We were able to move the place settings at our table (because there were only two of us) to provide for distance between us and the table adjacent to ours. We would have otherwise been touching chair backs. The restaurant was not full and they could have done a much better job at spacing patrons around the room. Again we almost left. Glad we were able to reposition ourselves to provide distance from the others

Had a fantastic dinner and experience at Waters Edge Lighthouse last night. We had the *not pictured* seafood bisque, Wedge Salad, Queen Cut Prime Rib cooked perfectly, and the lobster and scallop caprese. Loaded with seafood and flavor. From our server Joe being knowledgeable and attentive all night to the great food and atmosphere it definitely remains one of my favorites to go to for any occasion. Highly recommend!

Nice place, with a large choice of food. Everything we had was very good. Everyone will find something. They have a kids menu, but ours chose pasta, which is a healthier option ! Good choice of wine too, mainly from the US.

Second visit within a month. Out door bar area while waiting for table is great with view of the river. We had patio seating which is wonderful. Being vegan I love the pasta choices but there are other vegan options. Service always impeccable.

Random choice to try this place, and I sure was glad I did. Was very busy at the time I went, but luckily found a seat at the bar with full menu. I started with some steamed clams. Nice and tender and great taste. Then did the Ahi Tuna Strawberry salad. Thus was well designed and executed. Happy they put the dressing on the side as I used about half of it and was perfect for me. The tangy feta was well balanced with the sweet Strawberry and the almond slivers added that other crunchy dimension. They could have offered bread with the salad, but not a big deal. Definitely a great surprise for dinner

I give this place a 10 out of 10 this restaurant amazed me so much. My family decided to stop in for dinner today, the atmosphere was so great and relaxing, also everyone was so happy and polite and the food was AMAZING. I usually don’t leave reviews on places but I had to for this place because I was Just so amazed by how welcoming everyone was and how delicious the food was. I ordered the crab spinach dip and the chicken parmigiana with their al vodka sauce and my fiancé ordered their chicken pepe and my 3 year old ordered their children’s chicken and French fries. I was shocked that literally

It's like a vacation every time we dine here. The atmosphere is the best in the Capital Region and you can not beat their patio. The food is delicious and they have a very large menu so it's very easy to please even the pickiest of eaters. The bar serves up great cocktails and the staff is always friendly. I think the servings are a bit smaller for takeout but that's just more reason to dine-in and enjoy a great meal.

This restaurant is in a beautiful location and our table was perfect with great view of the river. We were early for our reservation so we went to have a drink at the outside bar. To comply with Covid rules and regs you have to eat when you have a drink...really liked that they had a small bites menu so you didn’t have to spend a ton or eat too much before dinner. I enjoyed the seafood risotto very much, which is impressive because I am often hit or miss on scallops...they were delicious and everything tasted fresh. Our server was also very friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back.
