I go to shadows mostly for lunch. Beside the beautiful Hudson River view. The food is great. I love the burgers and the pasta. But you have to try the buffalo calamari as an appetizer. Prices are reasonable. For dinner. I tried the lobster tail and I tried the steak, and both are Excelant.

We had 6:30pm dinner reservations and arrived at 4:30pm. We sat on the leather couch and had drinks. We moved 2 times until we got a spot at the bar because there was a skanky smell by the leather couch which smelled like feet! We had to move twice until we made it to the bar and got some good...

NEVER AGAIN! The prime rib I was served was overcooked and served cold. My husband had the sea bass which was served dry and tasteless. When the waiter asked how everything was and I responded that I asked for my meat to be medium rare and what I was served certainly wasn't that he responded "what would you like me... More

Went to Shadows on the Hudson at the recommendation of someone in town because of the view. When we arrived without a reservation we asked if we might be able to sit near the window, the hostess said it would be possible and gave us a pager because we said we'd go to the bar for a drink while waiting....

We went for a late lunch on Saturday. The restaurant was a mess. Dirty tables surrounded us. Other tables were not set. When the gentleman seated us, he asked if we wanted tap water or sparkling water. He never returned (nor did the water). After a little more than ten minutes later, our server came to take our drink order... More

I'm going to make this short and sweet. Some friends had pumped this restaurant up and we were eager to visit. Very nice grounds and the location on the river is superb. The service is quick, ample, well trained and friendly. The inside of the modern restaurant has the charm of a train station, big, open and cold. The food... More

This is definitely a great place to go for the view and the terrace when the weather is warmer. Visited during lunch in January so I didn't really get the full experience. My husband has gone at night when terrace was open and said it was great. Food is average. You can tell they are trying to be higher end... More

I was in the area on business and my co-workers took me to Shadows on the Hudson for dinner before I left. The views: We happened to go at a great time because at 6:30 in the evening, the sun was just beginning to set. The views of the river and the bridge were amazing. They told me that in... More
