Have you been to Waterside in North Bergen, NJ. (Okay, I realize it's in Hudson County; but this is really a North Jersey blog - I just liked the name Berge County Tonight.) Anyway, it used to be called Frank's Waterside (I think because Sen. Frank Lautenberg used to be a partner in the restaurant with the previous owners - but don't quote me on that.) The new Waterside has experienced a little facelift, a new menu and new owners; and because of this a new crowd has started nesting there. You can expect a good mix of ages, but this crowd definitely has a hip/trendy feel to it.
Earlier this year The Record gave Waterside a Three Star excellent rating in it's April 9, 2010 review. We at Bergen County Tonight would considering pushing it to Four Stars. Here's what you can expect to find when you visit: it's huge place with a tiered dining room and a magnificent view overlooking the Hudson River into New York. The food is with-out-a-doubt better than average for the area. Depending on the season, they have a large outdoor seating area sometimes complete with a DJ. On the weekends, you'll probably find lots of pretty people eating, laughing and enjoying some of the music.
I do believe that Waterside would benefit from the kind of entertainment that vocalists Josh & Liza offer at Sanzari's New Bridge Inn, but what we heard there was fine and will appeal to many people.
Ladies, if you decide to go this weekend, bring a wrap if you want to check out the outside patio. It gets cold and windy near the water and there's always a good-looking guy (or two) out there smoking a cigarette or drinking a Scotch.
