Local spot in the village that i live in...and its just...awesome...whether you come for a quick drink, to a small bite or dinner for 6, you can not go wrong at the Boathouse...owner Lisa always tending bar to make sure that her customers feel at home and have a drink in hand...waiter/waitress Ryan, Philip and Michelle are great and their attention to detail stands out...from apps to entrees, you can not go wrong here...from Spiedini( ask for buffalo and garlic ), to their Wings, Arancini and Spicy Crab Fries are excellent...entrees such as the Rib Eye Steak, Very Angry Val, Lobster Roll, Short Rib Sheperds Pie, Lobster Mac & Cheese, etc are great...come summer time, you wont find a better place around...there is the " boat bar " right next to the water, and you will find live music on the weekends. Reasonably price, and you will be coming back there for sureParking: Onsite Free Parking( right next to the Hudson River )...what a VIEW
The staff is awesome. If you are lucky enough to get Michelle as your server you are in for a treat. The owner Lisa is great with kids and is always accommodating to everyone. All the servers are knowable of the menu and can always make recommendations of what is great on the menu. There is always a friendly crowd.Parking: If they don’t have parking in their lot there is always parking on the streetKid-friendliness: Staff loves and caters to kids. Coloring books and crayons are available. They have kids friendly cups as well.

My favorite place for several reasons. It's off the beaten path but offers amazing view of the river and the marina, the food is really good, drinks are creative and well poured and staff really cares about delivering great experience.

Great location, although a little tough to find at first. Casual, cozy ambiance, service is plentiful , friendly and efficient. Ample free parking and spectacular views of the boats and Hudson river.The food was delicious, not oily or greasy and very fresh and refreshing. We will return again!

Last year we loved this place But something has changed recently Food is average and the once amazing bread has been changed Hopefully they go back to their old ways

The food was very tasty. The service was great. The view of the water, sunset, and boats were fantastic.
I really enjoyed our meal here. Complimentary bread and butter/oil. Clearly labeled vegetarian dishes. Great views even in the rain. A bit loud but fun lively atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Stuffed mushrooms, arancini, Beyond burger and black bean burger along with veggie sandwich

My husband and I have always enjoyed the Boathouse but the past few times have been very poor.My seafood pasta dish, The Angry Val, has chicken in it now. I rather have an option to pay extra for just seafood and have it the original way. The most recent experience wasn't great either. I ordered a basic burger. The burgers and the toasted buns were always so good. Most places give you a burger on a brioche roll or hamburger bun. The Boathouse has a new thing. They put the burgers on a ciabatta roll. Ciabatta rolls are to tough for a burger. The burger comes out of the roll and lands in your hand as your canine teeth have to fight with the roll. I'm not sure who updated the menu's, but they are getting a thumbs down from us. Even the wonderful bread that they once had was different. It's such a shame.

Classic spot on the Hudson for some fried fish or a lobster roll, which is above average. Always wish the seating could be closer to the water and not immersed in the parking lot, but the uniqueness of the Ossining harbor eatery keeps bringing us back regardless.
