Waterview Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

Star for location. We made a reservation for a party of 10. Parking was easy but $10. We were seated once our entire party arrived. It was hot and sunny and were given 1 umbrella that covered 4 people (every table for two had an umbrella). We asked for another umbrella as we had 4 tables but were told none were available (we saw several tables that went unused and had umbrellas). Of course we expected that service would be slow with a table of ten. 20 minutes later our waitress finally came over to take our drink order. Another 20 minutes and finally received very poorly made drinks (II don’t think the bar tender knew the recipe for certain drinks). As other reviewers mentioned drink were all watered down. A few drinks were lukewarm. Needless to say we sent the drinks back. And again a few drinks were lukewarm to the point I put ice in my Beer (They did comp the drinks). About 1 hour in the waitress took our apps order. And we asked for silverware. 30 minutes later we received our apps. Apps- overpriced and small servings. At this point still no silverware. We placed our entrée order and waited……….. Half our table received their food. 30 minutes later the other half finally received their food. Once all had finished eating we requested our check. The check was totally wrong and needed to be corrected. 30 minutes later we finally received our check. We did give the waitress 15% gratuity, and informed the manager about our service. This place has a ton of potential but has no...

The server was a nice kid and very attentive. My low rating is for the food and drinks. One of us hated his cocktail. All 3 of us disliked our meals. One person got a grilled chicken sandwich when it came lookes like it was microwaved at least 2-3times before it came to the table. Edges dry, disgusting. My other companion got the fluke parm. The fluke was Fresh but they said it was super bland and the tomoto sauce on the pasta didnt help flavorwise. I got the lobster ravioli with salmon. I specifically asked if the fish was broiled, server said yea and when it arrived it was deep fried, and a super small piece of salmon with like 6 ravioli and wayyy too much lobstrr cream sauce in the dish. (No comp. Bread for the table). That lobster meal. Was not worth 40. It didn't taste terrible, but the salmon was ridiculously bland. The sauce wasn't too bad, but not worth the price. None of us took doggie bags cause there was nothing anyone wanted to re eat. The final bill was 190, the worst 190 any of us spent for food. We didnt complain, but will never go back unless they get a new monday...

Had one of the worst experiences eating at this place. the bartender tried scamming us!! First the hostess walks us to our table complaining that the bus boy is supposed to be doing this, then tells us we can order drinks for the college special happy hour at the bar and just bring it to our table. then our waiter comes and tells us that we can’t order happy hour drinks at the table and have to eat at the bar (when there is ample seating), then double checks and tells us the same thing the hostess said. we go to order drinks for happy hour and the bartender tells us that there is no college special and everything is regular price. she also tells us that there is $20 minimum on card so we would pay cash. my friends and I decided not to get drinks. as we walk out, the sign when you enter clearly says college special happy hour, or similar phrasing, and I tell the two hostesses at the front about the bartender and they didn’t care. communication is awful here and the bartender was trying to pocket our cash!! no intention...
