Water’ Edge will be one of the greatest dining experiences you will ever have. The staff is attentive and friendly. And very professional. If you come for lunch, there is a park right next to the restaurant where you can sit and watch the boats on the river, and in the evening watch Manhattan light up. The views from inside are just as spectacular. If you are coming from Manhattan, you can really arrive in style aboard their River Boat.
