We had reservations 30 minutes before their last available reservations: 8pm on a Saturday, and street parking was easy to find. We were tucked in a corner with a view of the water (though the sun had already set). The interior felt elegant, though they do not have a dress code. Food took a while but the waitress apologized and explained why which I was grateful for (there was a huge party right before us). Throughout, our waitress was attentive, but not overbearing Buffalo shrimp - this was delicious. It comes with only 4, but it is the perfect appetizer. Pomodoro - the pasta was cooked perfectly but I found the flavor to be a bit underwhelming. Portion size was satisfactory. Chicken Marsala - both pasta and chicken was cooked perfectly, and it was much more flavorful than the pomodoro. Mushrooms were delicious. Chicken wasn't seasoned outside of the sauce. Broccolini - both I and my partner got a side of brocolini, mine came out with three and hers came out with one. Not sure what happened there, but we paid the same amount. We ordered a Caesar salad that we never received. Tirimisu - this was stellar. I was already full, but I definitely overate just so I could finish off the dessert. Overall, the experience was quite plesant, and despite some smaller hiccups I would definitely recommend this place. Not sure I myself would return, but that has more to do with the fact that I'm not the biggest fan of Italian cuisine in general. read more

The food was very good. The location is absolutely stellar! We made a reservation online for our anniversary, and we were really excited to go out. We get there and the lady who seats you wasn't very friendly, and then she wanted to seat us straight in the sun when there was a spot in the shade open so I asked to be seated in there. This seemed to annoy the young lady. Our waitress never introduced herself, and we seemed to be bothering her the entire time by just sitting there. We never asked for a refill, any special accommodations to our food. We were polite, said yes ma'am, please and thank you. She never once refilled our drinks, seemed to be annoyed when she offered us dessert and we asked what they had. She did hand the table next to us free cannolis for their anniversary . (We're not upset we didn't get anything free... we just wanted a pleasant experience.) She only became polite when it came time for the bill since she probably wanted a nice tip. Maybe if the service wasn't better, we'd be back. I'm honestly disappointed in the whole experience. read more

Such a shame because this place should be 5 stars, but the service lacks refinement and maturity. We went twice in the last two weeks. First time would have been ok, but we were seated by the exterior patio door, which was extremely loud and jarring every time it closed, which was every 10 seconds. It was very hard to enjoy our dinner with that banging that echoed throughout the exposed ductwork. Second experience started out fine, we were there for drinks and dessert, asked to be seated outside and they put us at a high top in the corner. We were sitting there about 10 minutes when a teenaged boy very loudly told us they made a mistake and that we had to move....literally everyone around us stopped their conversations and stared. So we moved to where we were instructed to go. THEN we were told to move AGAIN. Come on. We told the boy that he was embarrassingly loud and he immediately got defensive and wanted to go "ask everyone" if he was loud. Unreal. When we left we told the manager that this was inappropriate and she blamed us. We told her about the obnoxious loud door and she said that it's been that way for 8 years Overall, the food and drinks are fine, atmosphere would be great except the noise of the exposed ducts, and the service is despicable. read more

the food here was really great, the service was quick and the portions were perfect! it was slightly overpriced but that's what you get when you're riverside! despite that we would still go back and enjoy the views and company! read more

Excellent food! Scallops were perfectly prepared. Filet mignon was tasty. Can recommend.

Nice looking restaurant, great location and a beautiful deck out overlooking the river. However, the food is another story. Beef filet ordered rare came out medium, and the "wood-fired grilled asparagus was not grilled, no grill marks, but was a little smoky as well as mushy, stringy and limp, as if it had been cooked hours earlier and sat around in a warming pan. Pulled some plastic wrap out of my mouth after a bite of the mashed potatoes. A pizza that was ordered with sausage added arrived black and burned, without the sausage. The server said "my bad" but did not offer to replace the pizza. I can't believe they had they even served that crap, a mistake and burned all over. Won't ever be going back. read more

Good ingredients but, The cooks need to learn how to salt their pasta water before making pasta. Tables were not set. No silverware, salt or pepper on table, no dinner napkins. Service could be better. Could be a lot better if managed well! read more

Beautiful place by the water. Service was great! We got pizza and arancini and it was all so good! Some of the best best I've had in the area. Highly recommend read more

Didn't love it. In years past we loved this place. Something is way different. My wife had a burger that had the quality of being frozen. My pizza was not great. Service was sorta slow. Examples, wife waited 10 mins to get ketchup once her food came. Took a while to get the check. It was a Saturday afternoon in early fall. It was moderately busy. read more

I visited the lounge for cocktails and dinner on a mid December cold evening. The twinkling, glimmering lights cascading the picture windows creating a magical glow with glistening tree and crackling fireplaces on the flatscreens. One of my favorite Holiday ambiance's I had the pleasure of enjoying this season! The Holiday Ornament Martini was presented in a decorative ornament bedazzled with gold sugar. The pomegranate flavor was as lovely as the presentation! It was a Wednesday evening, Pasta Night. Pick your own pasta, sauce, with choice of toppings. I chose angel hair pasta, vodka sauce, topped with shrimp and scallops. Absolutely delish! I had a second martini and selected the Porn Star that comes with a side of Prosecco , another unique presentation. Love the upscale city vibe of the Lounge! Friendly and efficient bartender as well, definitely stop in your next visit to Clayton! read more

Nice fall day, so I headed to Clayton. Got there 5 minutes after the restaurant closed for lunch, but the lounge was open and offered pizza and wings. I ordered the bianco pizza. It's a white sauce base, topped with spinach, caramelized onions, and a honey drizzle. Absolutely delicious. Great view of the river and ships. One bartender handled drinks (during a Bills game, so she was busy) and food orders. Good food, good ambience, good service. read more

Quickly seated outside with a great river view. Server was friendly and attentive. My only complaint is we didn't get any bread and had to pay separately for a side sale which I would expect both to be included with my $30 entree. But food was great. read more

Go for the location on the River & maybe a cocktail but pasta was a disappointment. Brown butter sage pasta with pine nuts had evo (not brown butter), little sage & no pine nuts. Pasta itself was overcooked. Service was fine, but not ground pepper for my salad. Also no seafood (except appetizer of calamari with Thai sauce) on the menu! read more

View was very nice. Sunset beautiful. Asian wings very tasty. Calamari good. Chicken parm ok. Chicken Marsala very sweet? Seaweed salad good flavor but swimming in liquid. Waitress was "just doing her job". read more

Service was great. Truffle fries with parmesan and garlic aioli were delicious. Lobster ravioli was subpar. The ravioli itself was good however the brown butter sauce wasn't a sauce but a puddle of grease, definitely disappointed and for $32 expected better. Ordered a pepperoni brick oven pizza to go and it was extremely burnt and found a hair in the crust. read more

I walked in not known what to expect; I'm Not a huge pasta fan or pizza fan with that said...it is usually because pasta and pizza have become almost junk food where everyone thinks they know how to maje it and finding somewhere exceptional is hard. Look no further this place does it well make your own pasta and they have several options for pizza. For the pasta pick your pasta sauce and vegetable or protein if you'd like ; it's that simple. Then you are served a delicious plate . With your pizza see what options you'd like totally worth it. Plus if you check into Yelp you get a free cannoli desert! read more

Asked for a Margarita with salted rim. Waitress came back and said they were out of salt. SALT - really, on a Saturday afternoon. Asked for chicken wings. Poor waitress had to come back and say they were out of them. REALLY. They had boneless ones which we tried. If I had wanted chicken mcnuggets I would have gone to McDonalds. It's a beautiful place. The waitress was lovely. She should get a job at a better place where she didn't need to apologize so much about things out of her control. read more

We arrived at a busy time, they sat us in the bar area, which is very nice. However, the service from the lone bartender was non-existent. We sympathized with her situation, but by the time she actually went to get our food, over an hour after we ordered, we were the only two people at a table. Food was obviously forgotten, cold, and lonely. Would probably have been good an hour earlier when it was hot. read more

The reviews are accurate. Sitting outside by the water is the best part of this restaurant. Kids complained that the soda tasted off. I ordered a lemon drop berry martini and it just wasn't good. Cheap vodka was used and they had a sugar rim but used that sugar in the raw which was just gross. Also every drink resulted in melted sugar condensation dripping everywhere and making things sticky. The food was seriously lacking too. Kids each got a cheese pizza from the kids menu. On the menu the price was listed as $8. We were charged $10 for each. They tasted fine but nothing special. I got the deli pepperoni pizza. Asked for it to be extra crispy. It came out and the edges were crispy - looked good. But the middle of the pizza had raw dough and it had no flavor at all. My friend got the hot wings. Said they were the worst wings she'd ever had. Another friend ordered the chicken fettuccine. It wasn't delivered with the rest of the food. They had forgotten his order and didn't bring it out until 20 minutes later. We told them to forget it at that point and it was probably a blessing bc it looked super gross. The sauce was oddly shiny and didn't look anything like fettuccine Alfredo sauce. $138 later no one was happy and we'd never go back. read more

Reservations made for my Sister's Birthday dinner as she lives out of state. I selected indoor seating as rain was in the forecast, otherwise would sit on deck looking over beautiful St. Lawerence River, the best view. Drinks ordered first as I love the classic margarita and my sister ordered the spritz. Spot on the drinks. Appetizer was out next...calamari & cherry peppers served with sweet chili sauce. Not one cherry pepper found.(Per menu was included) The calamari was a little overcooked however still good. Main course took a while to come out, however I did appreciate our waitresses telling us in advance. I ordered the Filet Mignon with buttered mashed potatoes & asparagus (that's what the menu states). Received broccoli instead of asparagus. Thank goodness I like both veggies. Perfection on the medium rare filet. Every bite was heavenly. Advised our waitress that it was my sister's birthday if they could put a candle on the cannolis... she did not disappoint. Only take away check with waitress if everything on the menu is available and comes with the meal. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back to try other menu items. Wood Fire pizza and wings sound amazing!! read more

We tried to make reservation on open table but were told no reservations available for a party of 5 . There was every time available from 5-7. Tried calling 5 times, no answer. Called one more time and was told couldn't accommodate "large party" (of 5?) however patio was first come first serve. We arrived at 5:30 with plenty of empty tables but were told nothing was available because kitchen could not handle it. Hostess had an attitude as well. read more

This restaurant was spot on for COVID, felt very safe. Above & Beyond . Excellent separation of table and plastic placed where required. Food was excellent as well as the service. I would recommend this restaurant. Call ahead for a table in advance. Food - Starters - Arincini was very good - NO MEAT inside so great for Lent. Margarita Pizza cooked to perfection and their sauce was excellent. Ginger Ribs - off the bone flavor and taste. Entrees - Group of Six - Chicken Parm - Friend stated one of the best his has enjoyed. Highly Recommended. Chicken Riggies - were OK too much spice and I love spice - more Tabasco flavor - not recommended but was OK Campanelle Ragu - This was good but spouse thought she ordered a Mushroom Ravioli for lent. Lamb Chops were excellent cooked as ordered. Dessert - Homemade Carrot Cake - High Marks - Must have Overall an excellent experience and worth going back. read more

Did not get my right order. Seating area was tiny and only seated 8 people in total.

8/21 dinner service at the bar with AJ was phenomenal. Incredible food, great atmosphere & professional bar staff. The 16oz ribeye was perfectly cooked & melted in your mouth. The Ole fashioned she made were spot on. We come here often & we've never had a bad meal. Highly recommend!! read more

Whether you're seated inside or outside on the deck, you'll have a great view of the St. Lawrence River. Service was a tiny bit slow, but the food was terrific. Would recommend the chicken Marsala. If you want to order from a selection of pasta and sauce, just know that the portions tend to be small. Our friend ordered a margarita pizza and said it was outstanding. read more

We were in Clayton for Memorial Day weekend. The food here was the best we had in the area! The ambiance was great and they offered outdoor seating. My loaded Bloody Mary was perfectly seasoned with an olive, feta cheese block, and asparagus on a skewer. I ordered the shrimp and polenta: 3 large grilled shrimp on top of three fried green tomatoes, laid on a bed of polenta. Phenomenal! Service was superb- highly recommend a visit when in the area! read more

I'm going to give this place 5 stars. And I didn't even eat there. Why? Because my teenage children went out to eat there (without a reservation) on a busy Saturday night. They were treated so kindly and given a seat overlooking the water. I truly appreciated this establishments care and assistance. Have to add this though - they brought back some pizza to the hotel. I ate it cold and IT WAS DELICIOUS. Sweet sauce on the margarita. Sooo good. read more

Well our first time to 1000 Islands in 40 years hhahahah Sounds crazy right? Well, came up for a friends son's wedding. So made a micro vaca out of it The food here was fabulous I had this home made fettuccini in a home made pesto sauce with seared scallops shrimp and freshly caught perch right from the shore line It was really good first time eating perch too!! I have caught them but never thought they were good eating Tina had the homemade fettuccine Alfredo grilled chicken was a little dry But it was tasty. The fried Calamari was good as well With a ginger spicy sauce And above all the scenery was spectacular Definitely need to get your asses here Hahahaha I can't leave out our awesome waitress Lexy!!!! She is a super friendly girl who works here for the summers she praises her boss who I believe is a woman but really knows how to make a great place work read more

You pay for the atmosphere. The food is truly secondary. Stick with their pizza! Sunset beautiful, food ehh

(Visit Date: March 2022) It was our first visit. I ordered burger plate and my husband ordered sandwich plate. my burger was okay. But it would be more great if the patty's seasoning had a little more kick. I honestly felt the French fries were better than the burger But my husband sandwich was actually tasty. So i'll order sandwich instead next time! read more

We were looking to sit and eat along the waterfront in Clayton which is why we chose this restaurant. For anyone with mobility issues I am not sure you could be accommodated might want to check first. We were lucky enough to sit outside on a gorgeous day. Our server was very nice with great personality although not the most attentive. To be honest had the personality not been great I would have had an issue with the service. We ordered an appetizer and a main each and found that the food was good but pricey.My main the chicken parmigiana was $28 it was average sized and tasted alright. For the price would have thought that at least a side salad would have been included. Overall although it was pricey we really enjoyed dining along the water. I think you will enjoy your dining experience here. read more

Really tasty food at a great price with an amazing view! Definitely a top place to check out when visiting the 1000 Islands! I would suggest making a reservation on OpenTable or calling ahead because it can get busy. Can't go wrong with the pizza and the chicken riggies are my favorite. Meatballs to start are also really good, but could use some bread to go along with amazing red sauce. 4 stars because service was just okay. Waited for water to be refilled and took about 15 minutes to get the check. They served us bread during the meal which was a little odd considering we all had pasta dishes. Definitely will be back! read more

Friday night for dinner - we had a reservation for 7pm but when we arrived our table was not ready - so we had to wait for about 20 minutes. The hostess was very friendly always checking if our table would be ready. Finally she gave us two a table for four to seat us. It's a nice restaurant, nice ambiance inside and if you can sit on the patio (it was to cold / windy) it must be wonderful. We had a very nice and friendly server. We started with some truffle fries (were really hungry), a nice portion to share. I had the special "greek style" pizza with a garden salat and my wife took the Arincini - not "haute cuisine" but all tasted very well and we got enough food. On a lake or sea what is better than enjoying a nice pizza with a good bottle of red wine (Napa Cellars Merlot - they have Opus One on the wine list)... you just feel like being in Italy ;-). I have to mention the homemade carrot cake - we just love this cake. Overall we got what we had expected after a "harder" start but definitely a place we would go again. read more

Dined her for an anniversary dinner. Supreme food, but surprising that such an upscale establishment, right on THE best part of the water, had a limited, shall we say, simple menu. Maybe a post-Covid effect? We started with a bottle of 2022 Love Block Savignon Blanc which was the best wine we've had in moons. Well worth the $50+ price tag. Moved on to the Frito Misto. Definite recommendation. Just lightly breaded, not overcooked, crisp but moist and served with a deliscious Thai chili sauce. We also enjoyed the Antipasto Salad, THE best meats, great greens and just the right serving. Sit outside. It's blissful! read more

Great service, great atmosphere with a great patio on the St Lawrence River. Indoor seating is great too as there are lots of windows. We started with a great cocktail. Enjoyed our brick oven meatball pizza with caramelized onions, Caesar salad, and amazing Asian ribs with really good sauce and side pineapple salsa. Everything was delicious, we didn't feel rushed. The waitress stopped and talked to us about the area for a while which was nice. Be sure to make a reservation as they were only seating folks with reservations. Also they serve fresh pasta. Recommended. read more

My wife and I walked in on a Wednesday night and were told we could not be seated without a reservation. Part of the problem was they were short staffed. There were only a couple of tables being served at the time. Weren't allowed to sit at the bar which was empty. This was our last night stay in Clayton so there won't be another chance. PS: The hostess was very snobby so I'm glad we didn't spend our money there. read more
