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.

Made reservations and was not seated for over an hour after our time of arrival with no explanation more than others arrived prior with no rsvp and the owner opted to seated them setting all prior reservations back. The manager was helpful as far as accommodations once we were seated . Food and drinks were a 4/10 would most definitely not return .

We had a wonderful dinner with friends. The food (chicken, fettuccine, steak frites) was exceptional. The Greek chicken was the “best chicken ever” the people said. Our servers were professional in every way. We highly recommend Waterside - beautiful view, great service and delicious food! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
