Nice location on the Hudson River, good outside seating area, inside seating is good. We all got blackened chicken sandwich, it was good, but a little too blackened, very peppery taste, chilotle sauce on top of the peppery flavor was a bit too spicy. Waitress was wonderful, we were there for over two hours, she was attentive but not pesky. A bit pricey.

So why did I give them 3 stars? Because to be fair, we have been there several times before and always had a good experience. But this time was Mother's day. It was mid-afternoon and the place definitely was not overcrowded. I may or may not have been told that there was a buffet that day, but I was absolutely not told that the regular menu would not be available. The buffet was just awful slop. Had to circle the buffet table three times before I could bear to put anything on my plate. I have had better food at school cafeterias. Deserts were the cheapest selection of awful cookies you can imagine. And at $45 a pop, not including drinks, we could have gone out for a nice dinner. I don't know if I'll be able to put this behind me and go there again. Totally resent being taken advantage of.

I was sooooo excited to find this accidentally in what seemed like middle of nowhere. I would drive hundreds of miles to sit in the deck and look at the river! Too serene!

This is a river view establishment, with the best attraction of all you can sit right on the edge of the Hudson. That's why you go there. Food is consistent, reasonable and always good . Go enjoy

They covered the calamari in duck sauce. The seafood fra diavolo had bay scallops instead of sea scallops which was not in the description. The diavolo sauce was thick spaghetti sauce with red pepper flakes in pile of linguini with very little shrimp, muscles or scallops. Terrible! Avoid this place.

Went there last night for our anniversary, haven’t been there in a while. There was a reception going on inside. We sat outside at our table at 5:30, service was extremely slow.We placed our order and finally at about 7:00 the waitress asked if we would like some bread t hold us over due to the kitchen be very busy which we accepted. Finally about 7:20 our food arrived, my wife’s meal was like warm and my prime rib melt sandwich ($ 22.00) was some roast beef on a hamburger roll with almost cold french fries. The calamari we had was excellent, the view was great but after waiting almost 2 hours we ate what we had and left. I hope this was just an off night but with a bill of over $90.00 before tip we were not happy !!!

Extremely limited gluten-free options. Some menu items can be altered, but it is not publicly stated on the menus.
Lovely river side dining to enjoy an afternoon watching the boat pass by.

It was just so ok that I should have stayed home. The drinks were warm, warm, warm on a 90 degree evening. Great view. Server was very pleasant, but does anyone order French fries that doesn’t beg the question; do you want ketchup? The fish and chips were solid. The cod was awful, over cooked, bland rice, flaccid beans. The starters,
Calamari, very good but for $18 it was barely a single portion. The steamed clams were cooked to perfection. The white wine garlic sauce was water,
we waited for the server for bring some melted butter to eat the now cold clams. The seafood chowder was “seafood less”, full face sherry and little else. It wont’t be a repeat.

First time here and I would def come back again. Service initially was a little slow getting our drink order, but improved throughout our visit, perhaps short staffed. However, overall an excellent place to come to. The atmosphere and food were excellent.

Beautiful location and great service. The food quality is not what it used to be though - It’s mediocre lately.

Lovely site along the river - perfect for drinks and appetizers, but the entrees are overpriced and mediocre at best, and the service is perfunctory.

Beautiful setting in a marina. Not a lot of shade. The fish fry was good. The salmon, potatoes, and broccoli were all over cooked.
Staff were very attentive and friendly.
