    Attentive service, and quality food. The sound of their live music was too high, so we had to move inside to be able to talk with our guests.

    We had good service. The food was ok. We ordered a burger, Chicken Marsala, and mahi mahi. We see no reason to go back. Very underwhelmed

    We went to see monkey bump, which is a band that was playing at waterside today. The band was great. Our server Melanie was wonderful and the drinks in the food and the atmosphere and everything was great.

    First time there... GREAT TASTING food and nice sized portions. Are on the patio. Was nice and quiet, we could hear at the table. Wait staff did an excellent job with the patio heaters. Will definitely be back.

    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.
