    Windows on the Bay - Cheesecake

    I have stayed at RiversEdge Resort countless times. This is the first time we decided to have…read morebreakfast. It was Memorial Day weekend but slow due to inclement weather. We arrived shortly before 9am and had no wait for table. Although there were only half a dozen other tables of diners service was a slow crawl. It was a lovely view so I just drank in the ambiance of the Bay and watched the tour boats docking and departing. Ham and cheese omelettes light and fluffy with more than enough toast with a wide selection of jellies. Home fries on the side were a little bland but easily rectified with salt and pepper. The orange juice was served un chilled in a 6 oz glass for $4. It was more than enough food for two with leftovers to go. $41 though with no coffee or refills on the OJ. Nice experience but will probably do breakfast at diners in town next visit.

    Windows on the Bay is in the Riveredge Resort. We ate out back on the deck. The view was nice…read more There was no music playing at all, which was odd, but you could hear noise from a band at another restaurant nearby. Food & drink was good. They bring you a little loaf of bread and butter, as well as a red sauce. The bread was hot and delicious! My husband had New England clam chowder and enjoyed it. For the main meal, I had a burger, which is my favorite food to eat everywhere. It was cooked perfectly. I had considered the chicken parm that came with fettuccini Alfredo. I asked if it came with a side salad. No it did not, but I could order a side salad if I wanted to. So for $10 less, I got my trusty go-to order, the burger, which had fries as a side and felt like a more complete meal. My husband got the steak which had lots of fat. They don't have a dessert menu but our waitress told us the options. We got the strawberry cheesecake for dessert. It had white chocolate drizzle which we did not enjoy and would have asked to be left off, if we had known. Our waitress was very attentive. Some spaces were dated (the bathroom) , others had been updated. My husband gave it a 6/10 but the view will make it a 7/10.

    We were quickly seated and our drink orders were taken. We had salad and split an order of fries…read more The steak on my salad was delicious but the rest didn't taste very fresh. The fries were good but they forgot to bring them out. They got busy and we didn't get much help to cash out. Overall, it was a decent place to eat/ it was a nice atmosphere and seemed clean. The servers were generally pleasant

I believe they also serve lunch and dinner. This is in the middle of Downtown Alexandria Bay and right on the water. If you need the GF bread make sure to call and confirm they have it in stock before you come. I did make the call before coming and was glad I did. I ordered French toast and it came out on what looked like burger buns. It was still very good and tasty. I appreciated their ability to adapt but found it interesting they didn't mention this. My uncle sat at another table, at the same time, and asked for GF toast and was told there was no GF bread left. Just mentioning this because you might want to question all of this on the phone before you come if this would bother you. I had the GF French toast with Nutella drizzle and a side of bacon. It was tasty and a healthy portion. The Nutella was a nice touch. The bacon was a little thin for my liking, could have been a little crispier but there was a good amount for a side. My significant other agrees with my comment about the bacon. But he said the toast was very good and the deep fried home fries were pretty good. Overall a standard breakfasts Prices were reasonable and service was great. A good option for a quick breakfast if you are in the area. And many seats offer great views of the water.

Finding the entrance was like a game of hide-and-seek gone wrong. There's no signage, zero lighting, and walking back at night from the main street feels more like the opening scene of a horror movie than a relaxing vacation. It's eerie, deserted, and downright creepy. The restaurant? Only serves dinner--no breakfast, no lunch. Good luck figuring out when it opens, though. When I asked the teenage staff at Pointe Grill, they stared at me blankly before going back to fishing and smoking off the dock directly in front of the entrance. It was like interrupting their hangout spot, not asking a simple question as a paying guest. The property itself is in serious decline. Dirty, dank, and reeking of cigarettes and mildew. The smell hits you immediately, as do the scattered cigarette butts littering the grounds. It's clear that upkeep is not a priority. To their credit, the front desk staff were friendly and welcoming--but that level of service unfortunately doesn't extend to the rest of the establishment. The rooms with a view of Boldt Castle might sound romantic, but step inside and it's like walking into a forgotten relic of the 1970s. The decor is outdated to the point of being uncomfortable: mirrored walls, an aging jacuzzi, and cheap, bubbling vinyl flooring that looks like it was installed by someone's cousin over a weekend. The door to our room didn't even seal properly--it looked like it had been kicked in at least once, maybe more. The balcony was filthy, crawling with bugs, covered in vines, and in desperate need of a power wash. The railing was rickety and rusted--definitely not somewhere you'd want to linger with a drink in hand. As for amenities, the hot water took a full ten minutes to arrive, which felt symbolic of the overall experience: slow, neglected, and not worth the wait. For the price per night, this place is a complete letdown. It feels more like a rundown roadside motel than the getaway it pretends to be. Skip it. There are far better options in the area that actually care about their guests--and their property.
