Imitated, But Never Duplicated

We bring Mediterranean traditions, influence, and flare to fresh seafood cuisine

At Waterside Restaurant, we commit to quality, freshness, sustainability, and integrity in every dish we serve. Coming from multiple generations in the restaurant and hospitality industry, three siblings came to the waterfront in 2009 – creating new views, flavors and ambiance. Today, we look back on our Greek heritage, Mediterranean influences, and family origins to create unique tastes. We specialize in freshly-caught, locally-sourced, and sustainably-harvested seafood cuisine. Every plate features intentional ingredients, authentic recipes, and innovative culinary flare. Come rediscover seafood across from New York City and a world away.

Creating Unforgettable Experiences

The weather was perfect and the outside dining atmosphere was exceptional. Service was very professional. Now let's talk food....the charcuterie selection was exceptional and delicious. The honey, olives and walnuts were a perfect compliment. The homemade spaghetti with clams, chilies and garlic had a perfect amount of heat. I loved this dish. The filet was cooked to perfection and were complimented nicely by the lobster mashed potatoes. Black ink pasta with shrimp was equally delicious. Shrimp was cooked nicely. The Sangria is a must try. For dessert we had the banana bread pudding with banana ice cream.

Valet available in the front. Indoor, and outdoor seating available. Love the ambiance inside! Beautiful views on the waterfront as you look across to NYC. It would suggest you go at night, so you can get a better experience. It's also a great place to take pictures. The staff is friendly, and attentive. The Capellini with pasta, and the Branzino fish are both amazing chooses to try for entrees. Great food, great place overall.

I had the opportunity to attend a wedding reception here on New Year's Eve. 3 floors each one beautiful with a beautiful view of NYC. The catered food was literally amazing. The staff was amazing and I sincerely am considering my own wedding reception here. If this place is not on your list to interview, you're slipping.
