Gus Shizas
Catering
New York may get all the international attention, but some of the best waterfront views in the area are actually in New Jersey. This stunning venue is located on the edge of the Hudson River, offering beautiful panoramas of the Manhattan skyline with its lights glistening in the current. The sprawling space boasts two ballrooms that can be decked out to be as elaborate or as simple as the illustrious couple would like. Essentially a one stop wedding shop, Waterside Restaurant & Catering staff will handle all of the details and help create the ideal menu. Culinary Institute of America-trained executive chef Gus Shizas is known for making unforgettable food—including a Grand Marnier duck station with traditional Chinese garnishes—that’s sure to be nearly as memorable as the glamorous view.

Food and views were excellent. Server was not attentive, appeared rude at times and was not friendly. Tuna tacos were on the skimpy side for the price point. All entrees were excellent.

The service and food was phenomenal, had a great experience. The views were amazing as well, my only complaint I have is that when I made my reservation I put down it was my significant others birthday and they failed to see that, but all and all besides that one thing it was amazing.

Me and my friends came here for Valentine’s Day we had a reservation for 9:15 we got there and checked in around 905 and we were sat around 10:10. We waited a whole hour even though we had reservations. We were told people with reservations at 5 were coming at 7 and they still took them which messed everything up. Poor management. We should not have had to wait an hour because you decided to take others past your “ten minute grace period”. They did not offer us complimentary refreshment or a snack nor was anything comped from our meal. We ended leaving later than we wanted. The hosts were all looking stressed and hectic, the server was very mid no personality and twice a lady took my plate without asking if I was done which I wasn’t. We waited an hour to be sat just to be rushed out. The food and drinks were good but the service ruined the whole experience for us. We did not appreciate the automatic 20% gratuity we came wanting to give that and more but with the service we received it was not worth that. We will definitely not be coming back here.

Went there for Valentine’s Day and arrived before my reservation time. We were not seated until 45 mins after reservation time. We were then proceeded upstairs to where tables were setup in the event space. Being it that it was not the primary dinning area, there were limited drinks available compared to the full menu of drinks downstairs. Understood it was pre-fix menu, selections were very limited for the entire menu. For the food, it was just okay, not terrible or impressive. It was my first experience there and ended up being underwhelming.
