“Eddie V’s Paramus is a gem! The Ahi Tuna Tartare was fresh and bursting with flavor, and the Filet Medallions Oscar Style with crab fried rice were absolute perfection. Service was phenomenal — Amy was amazing, and every staff member made us feel like VIPs. I skipped dessert, but they insisted I try one on the house — a classy touch that sealed the night. Elegant atmosphere, incredible food, and hospitality that goes above and beyond!“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“THE BEST“

“The best customer service we ever had! Everyone was patient, friendly, respectful and attentive. The food was fresh and delicious. We highly recommend Empire Steak House West to everyone. We cannot wait to go back! Our waiter even took time to take many pictures for us. Thank you again for having us!“

“Took my visiting sister there on a Tuesday evening. She was taken aback by the level of service that made us feel like VIPs! After getting a great window seat, my Sis jokingly said, "How romantic, too bad I'm here with my brother". Our gorgeous server Michelle was spectacular. She made multiple trips to the bar to find 'just the right wine' for my sister's particular taste and made two special requests to the kitchen on our behalf. Michelle's calming presence and 'in the moment' attitude made us feel very special. Being an intellectual herself, Michelle engaged with us most excellently in conversation. I've had a few nice meals before at the Chart House, but this by far was the best experience ever thanks to Michelle.“

“Was the most refined fine dining experience I’ve had in Manhattan. I would highly recommend it! Phenomenal food … unique experience and fantastic atmosphere! The staff has the utmost attention to detail.“

“We were in the city for 3 nights. I made reservations for the second and third nights. Left night one open. I found Saar online, it was less than a block from our hotel so we figured we'd give them a try. So glad we did. Nice place. Great, friendly service (Karim is the man!), and excellent food. I ended up cancelling the reservations I made for night 3 and we went back to Saar. Give them a try if you like Indian food. It was amazing!“

“this place never disappoints. good service, good food. good event. I almost go at least 2xs a month. became one of my FAVORITE PLACES“

“Went there with wife we had a great time fantastic food amazing service can't wait to go back“

“This place is a WHOLEEEE vibe 😍
The nigiri = buttery perfection, the rolls = flavor bombs, and that sashimi platter?
A literal work of art 🎨🐟💎
Fresh fish, gold flakes, and melt-in-your-mouth goodness 🤤 I’m officially obsessed.

“Yummy Spicy Shrimp Pasta. I love it every time I come here :)“

“Food was pretty good but underwhelming, everything was lacking seasoning, salt, lemon, olive oil. They forgot a side we ordered. No one came back to check on us and took so long to flag them down, we were almost done with everything. They were nice and kind otherwise.“

“The workers/owners are so nice and the food is INCREDIBLE for the price. Seafood boil in this day and age is so expensive and here I can get 1/b crab legs, a potato, an egg, and cajun fries for close to $25. The hibachi menu is also DELICIOUS. I have ordered for pickup here with my mother twice and both times service was fast and the food was delicious.“

“This is such an amazing place with the freshest seafood and very lg. Servings sizes on all their dishes. The staff is friendly and very helpful ! So glad we have such a fantastic place in our area!!!!“

“The trout is the best in the area. The servers can be unprofessional and rude. When asked to tie back their hair, the request was refused. A nonsense response of not required was insulting. As an experienced service trainer, the hair in question should have been restraining. Health department requirements override a servers vain attitude.“

“Ten of us arrived at Waterside Restaurant and Caterers to celebrate Nina’s birthday. Located at 7800 B River Rd, North Bergen NJ 07047, we pulled up in front and valet parking made everything simple and stress-free. Right from the outside, the restaurant gave off an upscale and elegant vibe.

Our dining experience. The décor was modern and stylish, some tables with linen-draped and low lighting that created a warm, inviting atmosphere. Some seating was indoors or outdoors, and the outdoor seating offered a beautiful waterfront view that made the evening feel even more special. One of the best surprises was the DJ. who played some of my favorite jazzy house tracks, which gave our dinner great energy.

The service was excellent — attentive without being overbearing. Our server knew the menu well and gave spot-on recommendations for appetizers and dinner.

Menu Highlights For our appetizer, it was fresh Gulf Shrimp “Al Ajillo” which is roasted garlic and chili infused olive oil. When brought to the table it was bubbling hot in a small cast iron pan which Lauro and I shared. The other people with us had a variety of choices.

Greek style brick chicken with Baby zucchini, fingerling potatoes, infused olive oil, candied lemon. I thought it would have been half chicken but didn’t realize it was Cornish hens. It was good, but slightly overcooked. The fingerling potatoes were perfect as well as the infused olive oil with roasted garlic and baby carrots.

Homemade Lasagna Alla Bolognese was Beef Bolognese, bechamel, fresh mozzarella, Parmigiano. Lauro said he enjoyed it very much because it had flavor and cooked perfectly. The pasta and mozzarella along with the bechamel sauce was delicious.

Filet Mignon à la Carte Shannel’s choice of the filet mignon proved to be a highlight of the evening. Expertly prepared and elegantly plated, the dish was both a culinary and visual triumph. Each bite delivered rich, tender flavor that she thoroughly enjoyed, while the presentation elevated the experience—transforming the plate into a work of art. However, she noted that the mashed potatoes had no flavor at all and seasoning seemed to be forgotten.

The birthday girl, Nina Pan Roasted Salmon. A beautifully executed dish that balances elegance with comfort. The salmon was perfectly pan-roasted—crisp on the outside, tender and flaky within. It rested atop a bed of crushed cannellini beans and escarole, which added a creamy, earthy depth. A thoughtful composition that delivers both flavor and finesse.

Overall Impression and rating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5. Waterside Restaurant and Caterers nail the balance of fine dining and a vibrant nightlife vibe. Between the valet, the elegant setting, the creative menu, and the music, everything came together for a truly memorable night. It’s a little pricey, and not worth what they charge therefore, check their website first. It’s the perfect spot for a date, a celebration, or even just treating yourself. Stop by either by yourself or a date and enjoy your evening. The general consensuses of the food was prepared well but lacked seasoning.“

“Luke's lobster is known for the lobster dishes, as the lobster rolls but I went there looking for a clam chowder (New England style) and wasn't disappointed. Creamy and tasty. I missed a touch of bacon, but I guess this is not on the traditional recipe.
And next time I should definitely go for the lobster roll.
It's a small and cozy place. You can dine in or take away.“

“What a great experience, everything was perfect.“

“Okay, so the place is super cute. There are flowers everywhere, pink lights, and an aesthetic that’s perfect for taking pictures. The food was good, but nothing extraordinary. The service was okay, but it didn’t go above and beyond. I felt a bit overcharged towards the end.“

“Excelente atención y muy buen sazón“

“$20 for all you can eat shrimp“

“Very nice - I’m coming back for sure“

“Musubi for days! So good So fresh! Ill be back“

“I've been in New York for a week. I've tried many different places and this is the first time I got exactly what I ordered and it was not only really good but also more food then I expected.“

“Excellent food, service and ambiance. Try the mixed grilled sampler, and the desserts are espectacular!!!“

“Very delicious food .. seafood is on point“

“todo pero me fascina el pargo frito con tostones y ensalada“

“My brothers and I hosted our dad’s 60th birthday in one of the private rooms upstairs. Maria took care of us and service was incredible all night! We chose the 3 course sit down menu and family style appetizers which were all incredible. I highly recommend coming here for a private event and will be back soon to try the rest of the menu!“

“Excelente atención y muy buen sazón“

“Great food, all tasted fresh and didn't disappoint..we ordered the dinner for 2 that included 4 choices of cold starters and calamari that melts in your mouth and the salad was so good and the mix kebab and koftas over rice was good too..will definitely recommend and we shall be back! 😋“

“really good food… average prices 9/10“

“Friendly, efficient, professional service from (Marlon) and owner (Alex). Delicious tapas included Albondigas, Camarones en Salsa De Mango, and Tortilla Española (that potato/cheese/onion treat ) Oh - and the ginormous Land and Sea Paella was superb. Add a coupla glasses of their Lovely Logos Cab, and — just WOW!“

“Every dish exudes the flavor of sunshine and sea breeze, and the soul of the Mediterranean is perfectly presented!😄😄“

“Great Picanha very flavorful and cooked to the desired term (medium) The cheese and the beef empanadas made me remember my Grammy back home in Puerto Rico Definitely coming back whenever in NYC Ps. Caipirinhas are VERY strong and good“

“We ordered the lamb chops because we ordered them from another location before they came to the table warm but not hot. Also, there was a guy at the table next to us. He was the loudest person in the room. It made no sense how loud this man was even the people at his table Did not like it.“

“Very nice atomosphere. Everybody friendly Food was quick and drinks where amazing“

“Came for my birthday -first time there-everything was awesome -stuffed zucchini flowers, caprese salad . soft plolenta w/short rib ragu and pistascio gelato-soooo good, can't wait to return.“

“so fresh. highly recommend everything on the menu is so good“

“My boyfriend and I LOVE this place and has been our go to lately. We mix between the fried flounder, whole red snapper and fried shrimp- so good! The fried yuca is top tier in my opinion. The yellow rice is pretty good as well. Not too expensive and you get a lot of food.“

“I ordered from here looking for some jerk pork and festival and I could not be more satisfied! The pork was juicy, spicy, and grilled as all jerk pork should be. The festival were hot and freshly made. This was an 11/10 because it was all fresh and hot. Likklle Helshire Restaurant, 👏🏿👏🏿. Please, please add small and large portions of the jerk pork and jerk chicken to the Uber Eats menu so I can order just the meat and my festival. Thank you!“
