Loved it. Our second time visiting here with family. Great food, great service, and great location. We had yet another relaxing and satisfying dinner with friends and family at Waterside.

No longer open to the public. Had friends in town so we took the boat over. Restaurant was empty which seemed unusual to us. We were sat and asked for our drink order. After receiving our drinks, they asked us our membership #'s to which we replied, we are not members. Then we were told it was a private restaurant and we could not eat.

This is a great setting can get to it by boat. So dress is casual . Located in a golf community casual food but good better than alot of club food. Since posting this the waterside has gone private you must be a member now.

Excellent place for a date night

Had to update my prior 4 star from 1.5 years ago. Complete menu change that resembles a Taco Mac. That's fine if I'm watching college basketball but NOT if I'm taking my family or guest to what used to be a nice meal of crab cakes, etc. but now quesadillas etc. they just put a ton (allegedly) of money into this but taste average at best.

We had a great lunch experience. The food was delicious and our server Rachel was delightful. It was our first visit and she answered all our questions.
Great service! Can't be the friendly staff & management there!

We absolutely love this place!! Everyone we are near Cuscowilla, we eat here! The head chef is Chef Idris from Atlanta, GA who won Cutthroat Kitchen on Food Network!! How cool is that? The food is absolutely amazing! A smaller menu, but everything is very good! Some of the items are a little pricier than I would expect, but the flavor makes up for it all! The wait staff is also great! If you find yourself going here, ask if Nikki is working. She is the absolute best!! She holds good conversations, makes sure your orders come out correctly, and just is an absolute pleasure! We try to have her as our waitress every time! Oh, not to mention the view from outside is AMAZING! Right on the water with trees and the golf course! So beautiful!

This was our first - and only - visit to this restaurant. It has just reopened after renovation, and we had high expectations. We arrived at 7:00 pm on a Sunday; after being seated we had to wait an interminable amount of time for servers to arrive. The service was slow the entire night, a cocktail had to be returned (gin and tonic instead of gin martini), one salad had to be returned for condiments to be added, when salad plates were removed, we were asked to save our used silverware, the bread was so hard you could break a tooth on it, and the food was average at best. The bill was prepared incorrectly, and finally, to add insult to injury, when we departed at 8:30 pm (closing time is 9:00 pm), the exterior lights had been turned off and we had to feel our way out of the restaurant and to the curb. A major disappointment.

We waited more than 30 minutes for a water and a coke and now I don't have my water

First time back to Waterside after remodel. Better than ever! The food was amazing as I tried the braised short ribs for the first time. Flavorful and tender as can be. One of the cool things about Waterside is that Chef Jeffery comes around to the table each time and makes sure your meal was perfect. In this case, I asked him about the recipe for the short ribs and his explanation and attention to detail tells me why they were so good! The remodel seemed to center around the bar area as they opened it up with high top and community tables. Nice touch as you sit and enjoy the best view of Lake Oconee as you enjoy your food and drink. We have been here many times in the past, and always enjoyed it. But, it just got even better!
