We visited the restaurant on July 4th, hoping for a decent meal and a great view of the fireworks. While the ferry trip from Manhattan was a nice start, it continued downhill from there. We were greeted by rude people and the restaurant, to be kind...needs refreshing. We were rushed through a dinner of mediocre food served by a waiters in dirty uniforms, only to wait 2 hours for the fireworks to begin ( it was suggested that we arrive early to get a good table/view when we made the reservation) Once they did begin we realized the view was blocked by the commercial buildings next door. At $ 200 per person ...we were quickly reminded that leaving Manhattan was the first mistake of the evening. I was never one to write on a blog to be critical ...but since the Water's Edge felt it fair to charge the $$$$ paid in full before the evening) , they should be reminded, it?s nice to get what you pay for ...and at roughly $500 for two (tax and tip included), that would suggest good service, good food and a clean environment ...none of which they succeeded in providing.
Pros: Nice view of the Manhattan skyline.
Cons: Everything else.
