Havana 59

We dined at this restaurant a few weeks ago on a nice early Saturday evening.  I called ahead to make reservations and was told that they are all booked for reservations but to come in and if something is available they will seat us.  

We walked in and the place was empty .. more like DEAD... with "reserved signs" (see my photo) on all the waterfront seats. The server sat us very far inside.. as far away from the water as possible and said that she was unable to move the tables to accommodate all 6 of us. Keep in mind, the restaurant only had 1 other table occupied in the entire place. Kind of tough to "sell " us that you are busy.

We eventually moved ourselves and moved our own tables to an area a little closer to get fresh air, which they were not happy about. The entire time we dined 1.5 hrs, the reserved seats sat empty (see photo).

The food was pretty good, but obviously management has no idea how to maximize revenue when deadline with a waterfront restaurant. Definitely a lost opportunity there. Most likely will not return.

Came in for lunch on water and was excellent had great food and service

We happened upon this place after going to an open house in Fishkill. The realtor suggested we visit the waterfront area in Newburgh. It was a steamy hot day and we cooled down nicely on the open air patio. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive and the prices were great! I ordered a monitor which wasn't too sweet. The shrimp & crab cocktail was delicious and a perfect choice for such a hot day. It also was very filling served with crostini. My son had the nachos and asked for pulled pork instead of the meats offered. They had no problem accommodating. We also ordered beef impends which we were too full to finish. They were excellent and reheated well for a late night snack.  Watching the, boats on the Hudson during our meal was soooo relaxing.  We will definitely return even though it is 1 hour drive.
