hours ago This was not our first time here at Waterside. Our first experience was not the greatest but things have definitely changed, and all for the better. We were a party of 4 and were treated great. The views are amazing and so was the food. We started with the calamari with vegetables and the shrimp scampi. My wife and one of our friends both had the sea bass and I had the lasagna in a wonderful Bolognese sauce. Our other friend had the clam chowder and crab cake. Great food, great service, fair prices. I am glad we went back and tried Waterside again. We will definitely return.
