Pretty good food and nice scenery (waterfront seating). Worth trying if you’re on the area. I’ve eaten here a few times, every dish I’ve ordered was great.

Had a reservation. Arrived early and had a drink at the bar. Was kept informed as to when our table would be ready. Specially cocktails were great. Seated shortly after our reservation time. Very short wait for our server to take drink and dinner orders. Salads and dinners were great. Server was prompt and efficient.

Went to Clayton to see a show at the Opera house. Upon arrival Channelside was the first place I went to. I had the Shrimp Scampi, salad and chocolate cake for desert. Everything was 6 stars. Everything was fresh and homemade. This place shines in everyday. My waiter was Dan, and his Hawaiian shirt in October and charisma matched the quality of food and bought everything together. I went to many other eating establishments and Channelside was the only one I visited twice. There really is nothing critical to say about Channelside and if you visit Clayton this needs to be on your list. This was also the first time I could not finish a desert...the deserts are an entree themselves. The best thing, if its not made from scratch then its sourced locally
..a small buisness supporting small buisness. Channelside, keep it up and don't change! Also the prices for waterfront dining is not unreasonable.

Twas our first and last time, to try the Channelside cuisine. The shrimp bang, bang, was undercooked and served on the cold side. She then had the philly cheese dinner, which also was undercooked, with a slight gamey/overly salted flavor.
The service was best given by the bus boy, whom at least brought my wife a straw for her drink, which we asked our server for 20 mins prior.
The poutine was nothing more than fast food fries with basic gravy. Definitely needs to improve at minimum up to par.
I had the meatloaf and potatoes, bland and also, once again undercooked.
All together, $89.00 worth of dissatisfaction. To the extent of, stopping elsewhere, to fill up on. Prior to returning home.
The server should have noticed, due to our plates, clearly attempted but left full.

Broiled seafood and pork chop were over cooked. Was supposed to get green beans with pork chop, non were served. Waitress noticed pork chop was overcooked but did not bring it to managers attention. Overpriced for quality of food. Sunset view was spectacular. Just adding a note that the restaurant never offered to take the dry pork chop off my bill, I only ate about 1/4 of it.

View was awesome and the meal was amazing! The pork chop was one of the best ever! Definitely recommend!

The restaurant has seating outside right on the St Lawrence River and if the weather is permitting, that is definitely place to be! Kyle was our server and he was very attentive, even after the restaurant got very busy. We had the sea bass special and fried haddock and both meals were very tasty.

Delicious food, great service. Seated on the lower deck on a beautiful evening. We had the 50/50 burger, cooked to perfection. Cajun salmon was delicious. Hanger steak was tender and perfectly seasoned. Started with cocktails and ended with decadent desserts. Taylor was an attentive server. All in all, a very pleasant evening.

This restaurant is very very loud and was a little slow, but overall it was a good experience. Our server was fantastic and his wife also works there and helped our table a couple times. We all enjoyed our meals. We ate inside, but just inside from the back patio and it is a stunning view, especially as the sun was setting over the water.
