    I've been to the waterfront a few times all very pleasant. I've only done brunch here so I can't comment on the dinner. Brunch is solid, drinks are good and service is nice. I hosted a birthday/golf clinic here and it was really a wonderful experience! Unfortunately the weather didn't let us enjoy it fully but everyone was so accommodating and helpful. Would def suggest to check it out when it reopens in the spring. The atmosphere is nice and it's really pretty when you eat outdoors.

    This was an unexpected treasure to find! Located on the Bally's Golf Club, this restaurant boasts beautiful a picturesque outdoor dining experience that makes it a hidden gem. Overlooking the Hudson and settled between views of both the GWB and Whitestone Bridges, the background views are stunning just past the refreshing and relaxing landscaping of a professional golf course in the foreground. The hospitality and service were top notch and the food was delicious as it was presentable. My family and I enjoyed every dish... nothing pompous but rather comforting foods with a classy presentation and a flavorful flare. Highly recommend, despite being a bit pricey.

    The food is simple, fresh and consistent. The service is perfect regardless of who's working that day ! Love the fact you never have to ask for water. Great happy hour! Beautiful views The bar is clean. We will continue to take a walk to this spot for a great happy hour! Cheers

    I was going to take my parents up to City Island when I remembered this restaurant was on my list of places to try. It is a restaurant in a Trump owned golf course. There were people in their polo shirts coming off the golf course as well as people just there for a meal. We went for Sunday brunch. My mom had crab cakes and a ceasar salad, my dad had pizza, I had the truffle burger and my son had a cheeseburger that looked the same size as mine. I have to say I loved my burger. While I differ on our ex presidents views, this place knows how to make a great truffle burger. We all enjoyed our food. I opted for the bottomless brunch while everyone else had the brunch. The service was great. The server made it truly bottomless. I had several different drinks and liked the red sangria the best. I loved the relaxing atmosphere and view of the water. It's hard to believe this place is in the middle of the Bronx.

    When I was going through heartbreak, my friends took me here to hangout and take my mind off of it. Sitting out there and looking at the grass, the sky, the clouds, the water, it honestly healed something in me. Just sitting there with the wind in my hair and the quiet murmur of the other diners around me felt calming. The food was great too, the only reason I minused a star was the service was quite slow. Maybe it was just an off day for them like it was for me but I'll go back and confirm :) Really a gem, I'm surprised I've never heard of it.

    A thumb up and definitely will return. The Waterfront NYC at Trump Link (Ferry Point) is a nice place to dine or have a drink, for non golfers as well. The neighborhood around it is a little depressing but the facility itself is very decent. Setting. View. Service. Food. All good. We ordered Margherita pizza and pan seared Faroe Island salmon, which decorated w/ pea shoots, baby carrots, three kinds of cauliflowers, are just perfect for the summer. Their thick beurre blanc sauce is delicious. Guess Mr. Trump didn't spare any cost, i.e. the passing golf cars are silent (compare to some courses using gas and are very noisy, as obnoxious.) Also, the little handheld payment processor is great too.

    First time here. I don't think it will be my last! Service was good. Nick was our server. What a big, spacious dining area. Outdoor dining as well, but it was too hot to eat outdoors! We had Thai chili wings, crab cakes, grilled chicken and the truffle pizza. Everything was good. And came out in a timely fashion.

    I live in the area and had no idea that this place existed! A friend of mine invited me here and it was very cute. We came here during COVID and when outdoor dining was becoming a thing. We had some awesome food and a couple of drinks. This restaurant is really cute for a date, especially outside where you get to see the bridge, the sunset (depending on the time you go) and the golf course.

    What a beautiful place to have lunch/early dinner. We were seated outside and what a view. Felt like we were dining at the Hamptons. Drove by this golf course plenty of times while driving past the Whitestone bridge and did not know they had such a beautiful restaurant on site. We went for lunch and ordered the steak, lamb chops, calamari, charcuterie board and cocktails. The lamb chops were a big hit! Would definitely come back again.

    Run like a thief in the night with Seafood Mixer on Seward Ave. in Soundview. The plot where…read moreSeafood M. stands has become near and dear to the hearts of many Soundviewians. Including me. Whoever the business developers are, they took this overgrown grassy lot that's been vacant for the last 40 or so odd years and built a multi-business structure from scratch and Seafood M. dove in deep with it. I'll truthfully credit this find to my daughter- who, on her recent Holiday visit staying with Grandma, found this place on a whim. I jumped on it too days later. The first 2 dishes my kid got were the steamed AND seasoned Crab Legs+veggies and a steamed shrimp platter for my mom. According to her, my kid devoured the crab legs- which were perfectly steamed without making the shells soft. And my Mom's steamed Shrimp platter had a considerable amount of plump shrimp with a light seasoning that didn't overpower the seafood. On my recent trip though, I picked up the 3 piece Catfish-only meal and the 4 piece Whiting (the owner actually threw in like one or two pieces in there- thank you!). Both delicious. I may not be Southern, but I know a good dredge on fried fish when I see it and taste it. Renée(sp?) the owner- uses a fantastic and light that holds its own and doesn't crack into dust. The space may seem untidy- so don't come here for looks. Just come for the food. But, Renée has a great thing going and at 3 years strong, she's creating a sense of community and flare when Soundview never had a stand-alone fried fish/fish market spot. Wishing you much more success.

    So about last night's fish by pickup, I was craving some fried Shrimp & fish from last time, I had…read moreto place my order ahead. The service was great, and the ambiance was peaceful, just the cooking of seafood was in the air. No pictures this time cause I ate my food so fast. I got the fried Shrimp and fish basket with tartar sauce, buttered broccoli and a Peach seamoss drink. Some leftovers for lunch. Can't wait to go back...until next time my seafood lovers!

    We were excited to try IBN Hamido and came on a Sunday. There was no wait to be seated (lucky us!)…read moreand we were told to go to the back and to pick out our seafood before picking seats. It's a little overwhelming because there is definitely a lot of seafood to choose from. The fish selection looks fresh but they do have some previously frozen seafood like large prawns and lobster tails. They have the names of everything and the price per pound posted which can be a little intimidating because it's a bit expensive. We ordered a grilled branzino and asked for the large tiger shrimp. The staff behind the counter said it would be the ones without the head but when long at the sign, it said head on tiger shrimp so I was a little confused but we just went with it because we assumed the staff knew what they were talking about. We did also get the head-on large prawns. We asked for everything to be grilled and confirmed that they don't use butter or cheese or cream on anything and then we went upstairs to get a table. Upstairs by the window is nice because you can people watch on a good day. We asked the staff member if there were any butter or cream or cheese in the mezza or rice and she said no, so we proceeded to order those and also asked about the soup of the day. She told us it was a shrimp and corn soup and that sounded good so we ordered that as well. The mezza came and the babaganoush and moussaka were good. The lemon potatos were fine but other places have made it better. The tahini was tahini and nothing special. The soup came and we took a sip and it tasted like cream so we were confused because the staff member didn't mention cream when she was taking about it. We asked about it when another staff member came by to drop off the rice. The original staff member who helped us came back over and we asked her if there was cream in the soup. She told us that yes because it's a chowder and the chowder has dairy and told us that we ordered the soup. I'm not denying that we ordered it. My issue is that we specifically asked about avoiding dairy in other food menu items and she didn't even stop to mention that hey the soup of the day that you want is a shrimp and corn chowder and has dairy. She took it back but I felt like we were inconveniencing her because of her tone. The mains arrived shortly after. The head-on prawns came and then the branzino. The large head-on prawns were overcooked and a little rubbery. The branzino was a touch too lemony but that was probably my fault for squeezing lemon over it. The fish was firm and smooth. There wasn't a lot of flavor on either dish. By this time, our table is pretty full and one of the staff members came by with the tiger shrimp and he more or less just stared at the full table and then plopped the plate down right next to my husband's phone. We barely even had time to move plates around to clean up space for him, but I feel like they should have definitely looked a little harder because one of our plates was just full of bones and shells and could have been taken away which would have made room for the shrimp. They were also over cooked and rubbery. Throughout our meal, no one came to check on us once. At the end of the meal, I used my own hand sanitizing wipes and was a little puzzled that they don't give any to customers. We got the bill and were a little peeved that they charged us $3 to butterfly the branzino. We weren't told about that and we didn't particularly ask for them to butterfly it. There's individual hand wipes by the stairs and it's odd that staff don't bring them to you once you're ready to pay. Are customers expected to walk around with dirty hands to go grab the wipe by the stairs? It's definitely a one time experience and overall, I wouldn't recommend it for the poor service and seafood being overcooked and underwhelming.
