Waterside Restaurant

We had a rehearsal dinner at Waterside for my best friend’s wedding on May 16, and I was blown away by how great everything was. The manager and staff were amazing, and handled our large party with such professionalism. The manager personally helped me many times, grabbing an extra table/table cloth to set up the event decor, showing me the best places for photos in the private room, and even finding me a place to charge my phone. The atmosphere was just perfect for our party, and we loved having the sunset/water be the backdrop of the party. I was nervous about the lower temperatures when I first walked in, however it was very comfortable the entire time. I’m gluten free and dairy free, and the staff brought out a tray of vegetables just for me with so I could enjoy the hummus appetizer with the other guests. The blackberry margarita was one of my favorite drinks I had the whole trip. As a former restaurant manager, I know how labor intensive large private parties can be, & how easy it can be for the staff to overwhelmed. However, our entire party was so well attended to the multiple hours we were there. There was always at least one staff in the private room at all times, so we never a time where we had to hunt down someone for a service request. They deserve recognition for making this very special night so memorable. Every single thing I ate was so delicious, and while I couldn’t have many of the dishes the family selected, the guests around me were absolutely raving each time a new item came out for them to try. I packed some lactaid just in case there was something I wanted to try, and I’m so glad I did because the strawberry chocolate dessert was out of this world. Wish I could have had a bucket of it 😂
