    I read a couple of reviews before going to Waterside and saw some people talk about being rushed to order. For me it was on the contrary, our waitress Maria was amazing and the restaurant manager was great everyone was very welcoming and polite. The food was 7/10 appetizers and Main course was good.

    We were in New York the Sunday before New Year’s, and had the great fortune of going to Sugar Bar. I seen Valerie Simpson on TV a few days before and it reminded me of this restaurant. So glad I happened upon that interview. A New York neighborhood restaurant bar was full of chatting people having a good time. The food was good. The drinks were great and the desserts scrumptious. More importantly, it was beautiful to pay how much to Ashford & Simpson. It reminded me of growing up with their music in the background.  We went on a Sunday; next time I’ll be sure to go on a day that they have music!

    The location is great. Beautiful views of manhattan, great service, drinks are done well. The food is okay. The oxtail was better than expected and so were their shrimp and fries. I wasnt completely blown away to a point that i’d brag about it or urge people for the food but overall the experience was good
