The Water Club Review

Great view of the east river, great service and good food. Nice for a romantic night out. The location is a little odd to get to (under FDR drive) but worth it for the view.

Excellent service, delicious cuisine. They work hard to make their guests feel special.

Nice setting on the water - unfortunately unless you are outside for drinks, the view is of Queens - not Manhattan - a bit overpriced and an unusual menu - "free parking"!!!

I hope the sea reclaims this foul place.

We had to wait a half hour to order. Another half hour for bread. Terrible service and a wait staff whom I can only describe as snooty--which makes no sense considering the place has no dress code. I'm very happy I got to pay out of my ass for the experience.

One star regained because the mashed potatoes were remarkable. Credit where it's due. At least until Neptune capsizes it all to hell.

The views are stunning and it's a great place for a romantic date or girls night. The service is friendly and you know they have been trained well. They are attentive without being overbearing. The food is classic and they do it well. The polenta is creamy with just enough truffle. The scallops were cooked well and so was the hangar steak. I lean heavier on the salt so I would say, it needed a touch more salt. Desserts are pretty and just sweet enough. They don't rush you at all so you can enough a lovely evening.

Good food, a little tough to get to. Upscale place. Good ambiance with a nice view.

The food was good, but the service was outstanding - really amazing

Went because of a gift certificate. Glad we went. Wonderful view, great service and the food was excellent. Valet parking was nice since you are right at the door.

I understand that lunch and Dinner at the Water Club is no longer available. "Buzzy"

I had my engagement party here recently. We worked with the events manager Lacy who was very helpful and friendly. She was able to adjust the menu and set up the event as per our requests. She coordinated with our vendors and the event space was set up beautifully. The food was also excellent. We would definitely have another event here.

The most amazing place to get married!!!

Alyson made the experience easy from the start. She was overly accommodating to any request we had and held our hands through the ups and downs along the way. On the day of our wedding, she guided us through everything and made sure our day was magical!

All of our guests raved about the views, the food, the service and the space itself. We honestly could not have asked for a better venue.

Thank you so much Alyson & the Water Club staff!

I know it's a great place to dine or to hold a function but I only had to drop a client there...I've personally never been inside.

The best and my top 3 restaurants in the world! I have traveled all over the US and been to 20 countries in my entire life...Nothing says fine dining like this beautiful restaurant to bring the special person in your life.

This is an event space / restaurant on the East River @ 30th Street by FDR highway

Not worth all the hip but again I didn't have dinner

You will love this place. Don't listen to the bad reviews. This place is nothing but class. The food is unreal!!!

Very good ambiance food. Great for a special night out.

Very comfortable atmospere, the staff is very nice and the food very good. A little high priced but I think it's worth it. Good food, service, atmosphere.

I went to a recent event here. The space is amazing - right on the water. It was a shame it was such a bad night out that it was hard to take in the view. We met the chef though, who had so much passion for the food which was being served. The event focused on fresh fish brought in for the event, but I'd be curious to come back and try a normal meal here. He seemed very knowledgeable about the wine as well, which is nice to see.

Nicer than Borgata s regular hotel! And I love the pool!!!!

The best seafood I have ever had! We both had shrimp cocktail as app and the grilled Branzino and it was to die for! Plus the atmosphere and views are pretty cool. Will definitely recommend!! And will be back myself

I've been to two weddings here and each time I have been very impressed. The food, drinks and service were excellent, not to mention the view!

Beautiful place, delicious food. Great place for a Christmas party.

Great office park to work in , good facilities and a good atmosphere

Stayed here with a couple of friends. The room was nice size, clean, and cozy. Spend much time by the nice outdoor area with a pool

Went there for a company outing, The service and view was great.

I love this place. Been there a couple times now and they amaze me each time with excellent service and even better food. Their seafood options are great, but if you are there , you have have to try their filet mignon.

You have to be there to experience it ,reservations necessary.

food is good, but the view of the east river is more than worth it!

Our high school prom was well done, just the kids weren't all that into dancing at first which made it a bit slow but otherwise it was good..especially the food.

Went back here for first time in over ten years and frankly hadn't changed much.

Great place! Beautiful building, nice view, exceptional service!

Besides the great views and great food, the staff are very nice and friendly. They offered my wife and me a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. Great restaurant.

An astounding view of the East River, melodic piano music, and exquisite food are the highlights of this quaint restaurant on the water. I arrived at this location for a Sunday brunch with my girlfriend, and we were quite impressed with everything about this location. The service was courteous and prompt, and the presentation was absolutely top-notch. I'd definitely eat here again, and recommend it to all who appreciate fine dining.

We went for Restaurant Week and they had a really good menu. The food was cooked perfectly. The view is amazing and every table has an excellent view.

Old school fancy restaurant with great views on the water. It's over the highway so I recommend that you take an Uber or taxi. Don't miss the cozy bar with the piano player.

Dated food with subpar service. My husband and I went unnoticed for 15 minutes after completing our dessert. We had to wave someone over to receive our check. The interior is dated but the water views make up for it.

Nice The Water Club, bar. They have a lot of tropical drinks. Very large drink menu. I enjoyed the fog cutter. Place can feel bit cramped but multiple area to sit. We sat upstairs but I ended going downstairs to order drinks.

Good food, beautiful scenery of Manhattan, gorgeous decor.

Unique dining experience. Fantastic food, great views.

Beautiful view and atmosphere. Nice live piano music and old school vibe. Unfortunately not worth the buck. Very very expensive for very poor quality food.

The atmosphere of the food is good. It is a very elegant and romantic restaurant. It is really beautiful with wine and champagne.
But one of the waiters was not very reasonable in speaking to us. I ordered the ribs in the photo and took a bite. The waiter came to ask if I wanted dessert, and told us that I was interested because the ribs were dry and not tasteful. , Attitude changed 180%, giving very rude gestures, telling the guests that this is a 5-star restaurant, there will be no steak with bone, okay! Guests ca n t say that they are not used to eating here,
This proud waiter, we have paid to eat, not to eat for free, but also to give tips. Happy dining depends on the face of a five-star restaurant waiter, probably because we are Chinese.

the reasons to go to the water club are for the parking, the view and the atmosphere; not the food.

Crows nest was the deck, not uptight, part of rhe water club that used to be a really cool place to get drinks. And now this place is closed for private events only.

Attended a perfectly coordinated wedding here. Easy to get to. Comfortable bar, great views upstairs. Good hors d'oeuvres, very good American dining. Staff hustles without being obtrusive.

The food is good, Romantic setting

I went there for my Birthday.! I love the water club

Beautiful views of long island city. Bread comes as corn muffins scones, sourdough as well as other selections. Dress nicely as you admire the ships as they pass while drinking cocktails and seafood. They also have some memorabilia of nautical historical significance which you can check out while there.

Was there for a private event. Great service. Enjoyed the food. Verry accomodating. After I told them that I have an allergy on a particular spice so they made sure to prepare the food without it. Great views of long Island City

The Water Club is very nice. I love the outside bar, it has a great view and is right on the water. They also have some fun cocktails for the summer!
