    hours ago This was not our first time here at Waterside. Our first experience was not the greatest but things have definitely changed, and all for the better. We were a party of 4 and were treated great. The views are amazing and so was the food. We started with the calamari with vegetables and the shrimp scampi. My wife and one of our friends both had the sea bass and I had the lasagna in a wonderful Bolognese sauce. Our other friend had the clam chowder and crab cake. Great food, great service, fair prices. I am glad we went back and tried Waterside again. We will definitely return.

    Food was delicious , timer perfectly , service could’ve been a little better , I understand it was a busy night, it did feel a little crowded and bunched up , bar is VERY loud , but overall good experience , would love to go again , the food was definitely the overall winner.

    Excellent service! Our waitress was super friendly and offered great service. Food was brunch on a Sunday which we really enjoyed! Downside was that the Dining Points were not quickly posted. It took 3 days to show up (Sunday to Wednesday.) I waited to write the review to make sure points showed up. Had to make a note to myself to follow-up after 7 days if restaurant "forgets" to send in approval to award the points. That's too much attention that I have to put on the job the restaurant should be handling more promptly.
