Waterside Events

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 and made aware that she is there to provide a service.

We had the pleasure of providing DJ, photography, and photo booth services at Waterside Events in North Bergen for a wedding this past Saturday, and the experience was fantastic! The venue offers an absolutely stunning waterfront view of the NYC skyline—an unforgettable backdrop for any celebration. The food was soooo good, and the hospitality from the team was top-notch. A special shoutout to Waterside event planner Shantal, who was present throughout the event and made everything run smoothly. She was incredibly easy to work with and ensured that all of our clients needs were met. Looking forward to working together again soon! Highly recommend Waterside Events in North Bergen for any wedding or special event! - Team TWK Events.

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 views from the venue are amazing and the food was the best thing ever, all my guests told me how yummy and amazing food was and there was plenty of it. I am beyond grateful for making my day so special!

This Sunday brunch was fantastic. What more could you ask for. The food was delicious, staff very friendly and welcoming, and since we sat outside the view was spectacular. I went for my fiance's birthday and we both agreed we would be back again. Also the price was very fair considering all the food we ate. Did I mention the food was delicious?

Waterside is such a beautiful venue!! Between the ambiance, food, and staff, it's the perfect place to hold your special event!! Lesley, Shantal, and Christian were all so wonderful and helpful in coordinating our wedding plans!! They went above and beyond to cater to all of our requests and helped make our wedding day so very special!!! Our guests are still talking about the gorgeous city views and the abundance of delicious food!!

Great drinks, food and vibe. Service at this place is just ok. The only thing missing is good view of Manhattan skyline. If you are sitting outside you really have to wait for someone to take your order and serve your table.

Back again. Just keeps getting better.... We just don’t come here enough. Amazing Food - Experience. Love it!!!! More than 5***** for the gorgeous restaurant. 5****** bar & bartenders. 4**** food. Very good. 4 star service in the restaurant.. The staff could learn to smile a bit. One of THE BEST locations in the world. You are on the Hudson with a Billion $$$ view of NYC. Highly recommended for special occasions, large groups & cocktails. NYC tourists should take the ferry & be lining up 7 days a week.

Ten of us arrived at Waterside Restaurant and Caterers to celebrate Nina’s birthday. Located at 7800 B River Rd, North Bergen NJ  07047, we pulled up in front and valet parking made everything simple and stress-free. Right from the outside, the restaurant gave off an upscale and elegant vibe. Our dining experience.  The décor was modern and stylish, some tables with linen-draped and low lighting that created a warm, inviting atmosphere. Some seating was indoors or outdoors, and the outdoor seating offered a beautiful waterfront view that made the evening feel even more special.  One of the best surprises was the DJ. who played some of my favorite jazzy house tracks, which gave our dinner great energy. The service was excellent — attentive without being overbearing. Our server knew the menu well and gave spot-on recommendations for appetizers and dinner. Menu Highlights For our appetizer, it was fresh Gulf Shrimp “Al Ajillo” which is roasted garlic and chili infused olive oil.  When brought to the table it was bubbling hot in a small cast iron pan which Lauro and I shared.  The other people with us had a variety of choices. Greek style brick chicken with Baby zucchini, fingerling potatoes, infused olive oil, candied lemon.  I thought it would have been half chicken but didn’t realize it was Cornish hens.  It was good, but slightly overcooked.  The fingerling potatoes were perfect as well as the infused olive oil with roasted garlic and baby carrots. Homemade Lasagna Alla Bolognese was Beef Bolognese, bechamel, fresh mozzarella, Parmigiano.  Lauro said he enjoyed it very much because it had flavor and cooked perfectly.  The pasta and mozzarella along with the bechamel sauce was delicious. Filet Mignon à la Carte   Shannel’s choice of the filet mignon proved to be a highlight of the evening. Expertly prepared and elegantly plated, the dish was both a culinary and visual triumph. Each bite delivered rich, tender flavor that she thoroughly enjoyed, while the presentation elevated the experience—transforming the plate into a work of art. However, she noted that the mashed potatoes had no flavor at all and seasoning seemed to be forgotten. The birthday girl, Nina Pan Roasted Salmon. A beautifully executed dish that balances elegance with comfort. The salmon was perfectly pan-roasted—crisp on the outside, tender and flaky within. It rested atop a bed of crushed cannellini beans and escarole, which added a creamy, earthy depth. A thoughtful composition that delivers both flavor and finesse. Overall Impression and rating. ⭐⭐⭐.5. Waterside Restaurant and Caterers nail the balance of fine dining and a vibrant nightlife vibe. Between the valet, the elegant setting, the creative menu, and the music, everything came together for a truly memorable night. It’s a little pricey, and not worth what they charge therefore, check their website first.  It’s the perfect spot for a date, a celebration, or even just treating yourself.  Stop by either by yourself or a date and enjoy your evening. The general consensuses of the food was prepared well but lacked seasoning.
