Friendly staff and great food. Small cozy spot on the water. We went around 5:30 on a Thursday night. By the time we left the place was hopping. We would definitely go back.

This spot was definitely a hidden gem. They had live music and a cool outdoor bar and space. The seafood here was really good and ill definitely be going back for the vibes. I even got extra food to go just so I can try more. The only thing that was dissapointing was the seafood rice was semi dry. Everything else was on point. The staff was really nice and accomadating. If you do decide to do outdoor seating and bar you have bring cash for the drinks.

Date of Service: 06/26/2024 First trip to "The Boathouse". Entering the location in a full size SUV was interesting to say the least. Very tight single lane entrance for entry and exit. Location is directly on the Hudson River. On arrival, our large group, was immediately seated at our reserved time slot. Our server, Ryan greeted us and took our drink orders. I ordered a Bloody Mary before our appetizers. It was pretty decent and was made as ordered, "extra spicy". We ordered the Fried Calamari and Arancini for the table, and I had a bowl of their New England Clam Chowder. The appetizers were decent and the clam chowder was actually better than I had expected it to be. The chowder had a good amount of clams and also had a crazy amount of large scallops! A nice treat / bonus indeed. For my main, I ordered the "Very Angry Val". The dish appears to be a riff on the Utica classic, "Chicken Riggies". The difference here is that instead of a creamy tomato based, spicy sauce, "The Boathouse" version is an olive oil and garlic / hot cherry pepper / garlic take. In addition to the classic chicken, they added the aforementioned large scallops, shrimp, and although not listed on the menu, my plate had clams and calamari rings added to the dish. I guess the Chef added some extra seafood he needed to offload before the end of the last plates went out that evening. Either way, I'm not complaining. The dish was very satisfying. Only warning to anyone who orders this dish, be prepared to wear a bib and not wear any light colored clothing! There is a lot of olive oil in the dish and you'll be wiping your chin constantly as the oil runs off of the rigatoni as you try to get it into your mouth. You were warned! Overall, the experience at "The Boathouse" was favorable. My review on the food would warrant a five star review, but the space was very LOUD and was too hot. Therefore, I have to gig them a star. When I left, although I was totally satisfied with my food and service, I left with a splitting headache and soaked in sweat! The space is small and I can only assume the ac unit was being overtaxed on that particular day. The regulars at the bar were screaming their heads off during the entire time I was there. There was one particular bloated boor, who only seemed to know a single word and it began with the letter "F". Our group had four small children and several women in it. These things definitely took away from the overall experience. I will probably be back at "The Boathouse" again this Summer. PS: Give Ryan a raise. Poor guy ran his ass off all night covering too many tables.

Went here a few weeks ago. Loved the environment and the boat bar. The food was perfect and delicious and service was reasonable and prompt. Menu was well priced for higher end items. Will return!

I think the boathouse has come along way since my last review. They have a really great drink selection and really good bartenders here. One of my favorite dishes here is called crab fries. It is fabulous. I've tried their lobster roll, which is really delicious. They have a great selection of food. If you come here during the summertime, you will get to enjoy some music outdoors. Definitely come check this place out.

We arrived for our reservation on time, but were not seated for about 30 minutes, waiting for a table to leave. I was getting a little anxious, as we had only a certain amount of time to sit and enjoy and my sons having one get back to work and one to his baseball game. We were finally seated. Our server was friendly. We placed the whole order right away, as we were pressed for time at this point. Our apps came out and were very good. Arrancini balls and calamari. for dinner I had the crab cake sandwich, my sons the pollo doro sandwich, and my husband had the garden salad, and up the river wrap. unfortunately my husbands salad came with his sandwich. Our food was good. Service was okay. we had to ask for water refills, bread, etc. we were not informed of the specials. I only knew they had some because she told the table next to us. ANYWAY... We would go back, but perhaps with more time.

This is an incredibly cozy and warm restaurant with great views and attentive staff. We got to sit outside in a covered area attached to the restaurant. It was very pleasant. I had the Boathouse clams, mussels, and clam chowder. My dining buddy had a black and white tuna salad. The tuna was a tuna steak heavily crusted in a solid coat - rare is always best. Quite good as I got to taste it. The food was excellent and service was spot on. They also have Fat tire on tap. Remember to tip well.
