"We had the pleasure, the sweet 16th. birthday of my cousin on Waterside last Friday. We were on the second floor and had about 116 guests. The view from the second floor was absolutely stunning and nothing less breathtaking. We decided not to have an alcohol option (open/cash bar, wine, etc., which made some guests hesitate first. For these guests, however, there was a bar downstairs and this view of the NYC skyline was just about everything. Shantal was great and very accommodating. Their expertise showed the entire process from our request to the end of the event. Since our event was on a Friday night in NJ (center of the rush hour) everyone was late. Shantal, however, knew how to complete the order of events to keep the event in time. Our guests took care of the food. Steak was easy to eat and chicken melted in the mouth. Everyone cooked the salmon perfectly. We had some guests who were vegetarian and vegan. Although we fell a bit short with the vegan guest, there were still vegetarian options available. The cost of Waterside Restaurant Catering is definitely not a low-end option, but it was worth every penny."
