The ride was nice and our server Ester was superb but the guys behind the bar on the top level were rude and ignorant to my wife and I because we are lesbians as they felt the need to make jokes the entire time we were on the boat. So sad, but thank you to Ester who did her job above and beyond.

Some food items were very pricey while others were reasonable. Lobster roll contained a lot of chunky lobster peices but the taste was only fair. The selling point for this restaurant is the cruise up the Hudson River and not the food.

Worst service ever. My boyfriend and I went today May 26,2018 on the 4:00 for my birthday dinner. My boyfriend food came out but mine never did. We spoke to 5 different people including our waiter (Dentz) and a manager (Joe Triolla) along with the other three people who came to ask if everything was good. They said they would take care of it but never did. By time we got back to dock they brought my food out expecting me to PAY FOR IT. Meanwhile after apologizing and bringing me a birthday cake to make up for it even thoug... read more

Currently on the cruise. Asked for a server 3 times, we’ve been on the boat over an hour. We FINALLY just ordered. We’ll see about amending the review after the food. Absolutely ridiculous, understaffed and underwhelming.

Purchased a roundtrip ticket for both my husband and I. Going into the city was ok however trying to find out how we got back was a nightmare! The waterway bus dropped us off at The Port Authority with no directions on how we get the bus to return. When we we're ready to return to NJ we went to The Port Authority and nobody in "red jackets" cared to help us either! Finally 1 told us to go stand in front of the pharmacy and wait for the bus. We stood in front of the pharmacy for almost an hour and NO Waterway bus came. We wa... read more

@nywatertaxi I just tried to go to #IKEA from Pier 11 in your boat of 6:30pm. Your employee in charge at that boat treated me with very bad manners and she was very aggressive. I am going to raise a formal complain. This is not how people should be treated #nywatertaxi @nyc311
