Our very satisfied faces post-dinner

With a dramatic view of the New York Skyline it was not hard to have a love-at-first-sight relationship with the place. In addition to that, the service was also excellent and also our full course meal was just awesome. Bottom line is we all had a wonderful time at Waterside. 

Verdict(Personal Rating): 4.8/5

This was my first US trip and if I'm not mistaken this was 5 years ago. I traveled with one of my favorite cousins, Jella. We visited Seattle, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland. For me, Seattle was the best part of the trip because everyday was a new adventure. Special shout out to the Castillo Family for their wonderful accommodation.
