The Boathouse

Nice little spot on the river. We have eaten here multiple times and always had good experiences ( except one time we were seated near a table of sea hags who loudly talked about how much they loved smoking weed all the time and how if the principals at the schools they worked with only knew). Besides the sea hags the service is always very friendly and attentive. The food is great and the drinks are cold. You can sit outside in the warmer weather and they have a separate serving area closer out by the river in the warmer months. It's worth a trip to this cozy little spot.

We had a great lunch outdoors at The Boathouse in Ossining, overlooking the marina — such a beautiful and relaxing spot. My husband started with a Bloody Mary that came with two perfectly grilled shrimp, $18 buttery and well-seasoned. I had an Aperol Spritz, light and refreshing. We shared the steamed clams in a red pepper and bacon broth — the clams were plump, and the broth was so flavorful we used the warm homemade bread to soak up every drop. Our server was friendly and efficient. My husband wanted fish and chips but asked to have it on a roll, and the waiter suggested a po’ boy version with a little spice. It was a huge sandwich — crispy, it wasn’t overly battered and moist inside — came with really good fries. I ordered the warm lobster roll - MP $37 (by mistake, I meant to get the cold one!) and it turned out to be fantastic — whole pieces of lobster claw and knuckle meat, just butter on a soft bun, simple and perfect. The patio has about ten covered tables with a great view, and the inside is comfortable, air-conditioned, with a nice bar area. Everything from the food to the service was superb . We’ll definitely be back — next time I’m getting that cold lobster roll!

I'm so glad we took the time to stop in here. Driving to it was a bit sketch for us Texans, but it sure was worth it! They were so kind, the atmosphere was quaint, and the food was amazing! We ordered the calamari, which was fried perfectly, and the accompa ying sauces were perfect. We also ordered lobster rolls, which were still being served cold, and they were so fresh with the most perfect flavor. I would highly recommend stopping in, especially if you're visiting and want some good seafood.
