My Fiance and I dined there recently and had a wonderful experience. The staff was attentive and the food was wonderful. I had the organic roast chicken and some creme brulee. My favorite part was the view.

We dined at Water's Edge this past Thanksgiving and it was perfect.... the atmosphere was festive, the service was attentive and positive and the food was delicious. My husband ordered a bottle of wine from their list of recomendations and we were very pleased - it truly complimented our meal. The ferry ride there and back completed the experience with memories that will stay with us for a long time.

My husband and I were married here 4 years ago and come back every year for our anniversary. We love everything about the place. It's a great place to have an affair. The food is delicious and service is excellent. The view of Manhattan is spectacular.

THE SERVICE AT WATER'S EDGE IS SO OUTSTANDING, YOU FEEL LIKE ROYALTY. THE COOKING HERE FOCUSES ON VERY ELEGANT TASTES OF FINE FOODS, INSTEAD OF FLAVORING WITH TOO MUCH BUTTER OR GARLIC.

I ate here months ago and I'm still dreaming of my meal. I felt so pampered--the staff is very attentive and considerate. A server comes around with a huge bread basket and you pick as many rolls as you want (I almost went buckwild with the chive biscuits). The clam chowder was the best I've ever eaten and my salmon over risotto was tender and flavorful. My boyfriend got lamb shank with carrots and whipped potatoes in a very savory gravy. The lamb was pretty fatty, but that can't really be avoided. Dessert was a delicious mousse concoction, and the chef also sent out a little plate of chocolates and mini pastries. We had taken the romantic ferry across the river but by the time dinner was over there was to much ice for it to operate. So a driver took us back to Manhattan in a van! They definitely go above and beyond to make a lovely and memorable evening. The only downside is that this detail to attention doesn’t come cheap. A place of this caliber is basically out of my price range, but I would come back in a heartbeat if someone else was paying!
