Great place to go for a Sunday brunch. Food is good, service is great and the location is terrific. Even though it was cool, sitting in the sun and listening to the music (the coco knots were playing) was perfect. We come here frequently and are not disappointed. The only comment is the menu could be updated. The value is great for a relaxing day.

We celebrated Thanksgiving with very delicious turkey, ham, and prime rib dinners. Each entree, every side, and dessert was exactly what you would hope it to be, as good or better than home. Service was spot on & even with nearby tables, the noise level was quite comfortable & made it easy to share conversation at our own table. We already appreciated this restaurant with its & location on the harbor, but we love it even more now.

Reservation was made on line. Received a confirmation request the day before. We were seated immediately, wait staff was immediately taking our order. The food was delivered quickly. Although they were busy, they were very organized. No frantic atmosphere. Very relaxing...and the food was fantastic. Yes, I would recommend Waterside. They seem to have their act together. At least that was the case on thanksgiving.

Had a nice, quiet evening here last week and a terrific dinner. There is plenty of free parking and the restaurant is right on the harbor. There was live music the night we were there. There is a great wine list and specialty cocktails. If you sit at the bar, you can watch sports on one of the many televisions. The service was very attentive and pleasant. We will be back.

We have been coming here for years on Sunday afternoon. The music is good. The menu needs an update. While good the options are rather limited. I like the omelette but no matter what I say they always add cheese. I don’t reorder because it takes too long since my wife already has her food. They also need more staff. I will be back but there is room for improvement.

Great service and location. The food is good but can be improved. A very good wine list. Being at the edge of water is a plus for view and temperature ( given the last few days are in the high 90s and 100s.
