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 t

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.

Had an AWESOME experience during our first (and certainly not our last) visit to The Boathouse, which was recommended by friends who work in the Ossining area. The nautical vibes were great and totally fitting as we dined at a table inside the restaurant with the sun setting behind us. The food - amazing. I definitely recommend the spicy crab fries, the Halibut, and the seafood pot pie. We also had the salted caramel brownie (UNREAL!) and fruit crisp (NO CRUMBS LEFT BEHIND!). That being said, everything on the menu looked great as we watched other meals being served to nearby tables - will definitely be trying them all! My biggest takeaway, though, was how great the service was. Michelle and Brian were THE BEST! In fact, we will be returning regularly on Monday evenings to see the crew wh

Not all items on the menu are up to my expectations, the clam chowder is below average. The outdoor sitting area is great.
