This place is only banking on its views of the Hudson in order to attract customers. Â And the views are nice, but unfortunately, that is the only nice thing about this place. Â
I came to this restaurant to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday on a nice sunny Sunday evening. Â The restaurant was probably 1/3 full, which should tell you something. The menu itself is very limited, with just a handful of dishes, most being of the seafood variety (obviously). Â The menu skews towards deep-fried options, and the food I ordered (fish and chips) was very greasy. Â
Even though the restaurant was not crowded, it still took us a very long time to receive our food, which is never good when you are dining with a 2 and 4 year old. Â Also, the restaurant itself was dingy and rundown, with trash and uncleared plates on several tables. Â Drinks are also limited - don't expect to find craft beer options or anything other than swill wine and basic mixed drinks. Â Won't be returning.
We had guests in from the Midwest and wanted to dine with views of the Hudson. Â Now, the restaurant is opened year round. Â We sat inside as the evening was chilly. Â Jason waited on us and he was terrific! Â The food was delish and the service super! Â Then there was the view of the Tapan Zee as darkness set in. Â Hurricane Sandy was scheduled to arrive the next Monday. Â Hope the restaurant did not get flooded! Â We want to go back!
Review Source:Yeah. Three stars it is. SPECTACULAR venue. Could be so much more. We were greeted promptly and grabbed a table in the bar area near the water to enjoy a drink and wait for our table. Had to flag down a bus boy to wipe down the table. Then we pretty much had to tackle a waitress to take our drink order. Once we were engaged, our bar waitress was great. She even helped get us a dinner table quicker than we expected and took care of transferring over our bar bill. All good. Our waiter was friendly and readily answered questions about the menu. He was unsure of whether any lobsters were available but took our backup orders with no problem. When the main courses arrived the food servers got it wrong and told us "this is what the ticket says." not good
