A nice setting for a special occasion, with attentive service, relaxed atmosphere and pricey food (seafood, steak, etc), with a Hispanic twist. However, I'm not one for expensive places if the food isn't outstanding, and also just not the fancy schmancy kind of person. We've been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally got the chance on a Saturday evening. With a view of the Hudson and even the city in the distance, it is a picturesque spot to make memories. The space is well staffed, with many people milling around, and they make you feel well cared for. The menu is a mixture of seafood, steak, and tapas type things. Entrees are about $40-70, appetizers are around $20-30, and the tapas items are $5 but small. They had a few specials, one of which was a $68 steak social with bone marrow filled with cheese and corn, as well as guacamole and aioli sauce; with the caveat that I'm not a big fan of meat, I didn't think this was a special dish but i liked the concept. The flounder was breaded with a well-dressed salad; typically I don't like fried fish and now I remember why and for $46 and a pretty common fish, i want to be wow'ed. The calamari and croquette were fine too. I did enjoy the tiramisu ($15) but it didn't feel like the best ever per se. Yes they had a couple lobster dishes and other seafood like mussels and oysters. The space has a lot of windows, which makes sense given its proximity to the city. Parking was easy. Overall we had a nice time, but don't "need" to return for awhile. read more

I've been going to half moon with friends forever. Just had my birthday dinner in February, but the real vibe is when the weather is nice. It's an amazing place with an amazing view l, great food but even better cocktails. Honestly, it's a wonderful place just outside of the city. Service can be hit or miss, last time I was there I had to ask for bread and the waiter wasn't on top of it. My friend and I had a great time, but often had to flag down the waiter to ask for certain things. I think we would have ordered more if he had checked in more often. Nevertheless, that was this last time. It all depends on the waitstaff but generally this place is a great vibe. read more

I'm not sure why this restaurant is rated so low but it is a gem. Beautiful views and great service, Mohammed and Maribel took great care of our table. Attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu the made the experience even better. The oysters we delicious, chorizo croquet was my fav but the yuca wasn't too shabby. The tomato anchovy toast was interesting. I think the grilled octopus was perfectly tender and paired well with the romesco. Overall experience was great and I would recommend. read more

This is such a beautiful restaurant. The architecture is really quite something. The service was great. The food was also excellent. I would go back again. They did not have certain items that we ordered from the menu like items with pork, so our meal consisted mainly of seafood, but this wasn't a problem for us. it was really good. read more

A hundred of us met for dinner at Half Moon along the Hudson. The seafood focused menu is always delicious, service impeccable, and the atmosphere spectacular. Coming from Florida I was looking forward to seeing the change of season reflected in the foliage. It was beautiful outside, and I enjoyed sitting along the Hudson at the fire pits. Trays of Wines & appetizers were served & delicious, the brie & jam, grilled mushrooms & shrimp were tasty. The tables were filled with family style platters of salads, pitas, dips & olives. I chose branzino with olive tapenade, roasted potatoes and arugula as my main course. The tiramisu with mascarpone did not disappoint for dessert. read more

The service was really good. They were attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. The ambiance is casual dressy. The food was good. We had the meze platter to share which was good. I had the chicken sandwich which I enjoyed & for desert we had the tres leche which was ok just very tart but without the fruit was good. I took off 1 star because of parking, people with reservations should have priority, and I was with my baby & was told to park all the way uphill. Come early for parking and must have reservations. read more

We are the Johnson's Family who came to this restaurant in early June for a graduation lunch with a party of 30.

Quality place! I came here for my anniversary with my boyfriend and he surprised me with this pic of a restaurant. He said it was different back in the day when he went because it was primarily Italian food, but now it's changed and it's more Spanish food. Admittedly, I forgot to take a picture of our appetizer, but we had gotten a hummus platter and that was quite good. It came with hummus, tzatziki, and one other sauce I can't remember the name of it, but it was reddish (it was good). I then got the steak medium well , and it was honestly Bussin gurl. Even the side salad was fuegooo. And the fries were crispy goodness. For dessert, we got the moose cake to share because I was way too full at that point, and we ended up taking it home because we couldn't finish it, but it was so good too. For drinks, we ordered a white sangria and I'm absolutely getting that shit again because I was downing that sucker cause it was (dangerously) good. Don't worry, though, I wasn't driving and I only ended up having two lol but if there were more of us, I definitely would've gotten a pitcher. 5 stars, ya gurl will be back. Also, it's off the water! So pretty outside! read more

It's always nice to hang out at Half Moon with such gorgeous views of the Hudson River. Food is the typical American but there's been more diverse dishes on the menu. We try to go early because the noise level increases as more people gather and service gets little slow too. read more

It was so nice sitting outside on the water for lunch, although I wish they allowed us to put the umbrellas up. The oysters that we got were really good and so was the steak and eggs brunch. We also got the chefs selection of apps, which we didn't really enjoy so I wouldn't get this again/recommend. Overall, it was a good brunch and the view made up for a portion of the food we didn't enjoy. read more

There's a promise: a sunset on the waterfront horizon, a fire roaring in the bar, boats parading around the river, and the grandeur of high ceilings. It's a beautiful spectacle, and you can wax romantic about the sunset views. But ultimately, the food is below-average and expensive. The fried fish was dredged in so much batter, there was uncooked raw flour surrounding a thin filet of fish. Powdery, pasty, raw batter. And then equally shocking, the exterior was overcooked and bitter from the deep fry. Mysteriously and unfortunately both overcooked and undercooked at the same time. read more

Fantastic views! Food and service were excellent. A bit pricey but the seafood was fresh and delicious.

Went for lunch this week with a friend and was so pleasantly surprised to have a wonderful experience. I have been here before and this time was exceptional. I had a shrimp entree special with asparagus and my friend has a scrimp entree with spinach. Both were delicious. I had the baked clams which were so good and friend had the fried calamari. Dessert was ice cream and expresso and cappuccino. 3 cocktails finished off the meal. View was beautiful. Service was good. Would recommend. read more

It's been a long time since I've had such bad service at a restaurant. It seemed like the waiter was annoyed we got seated in his area so purposely avoided us. It took someone 25 mins to come and even greet us at our table and that was to tell us the waiter would be with us shortly. Multiple times throughout our meal I had to ask other people for waiter for things because he was just MIA. Besides this the food was pretty average. I found a bunch of bones in my fish. Which is really disappointing when you spend over $300 on a meal. If the food was really good I probably wouldn't have minded how bad the service was. But you can't have both average food and bad service. The only really good part was the oyster and that's cuz they're not cooked. This was my first time here. I was so ready to love this place but I probably won't ever go back. read more

The ambiance is good but the food is mediocre. The filet didn't have the same consistency you would normally see with better cuts and it was a bit suspect. The fries were very good but everything else was average. One of the busboys that refilled the drinks was also a bit pushy at times and got annoyed if he didn't have a clear path to the tables at all times. The other waiters and waitresses were quite friendly and attentive. read more

The Great service matches the Great location. Beauty view and a must place to visit when summer weather permits. The calamari was excellent. The Mediterranean salad was supposed to be with romaine lettuce but it was served with iceberg lettuce. The cauliflower steak was tasty. All appetizers in general were satisfying. Cocktails are good. Recommended and probably will be back to try the brunch service. Plus: It offers a wonderful sunset. read more

Food was amazing! They have a new chef who is very innovative. Everything we ate was delicious. The calamari was tender, not chewy. The salmon had an amazing sauce. The chicken sandwich was crispy and huge! Delicious drinks and the FPBC ice cream sandwich was out of this world (need at least 4 people to eat it). More importantly, every server we encountered was over the top nice! We sat outside and a sudden rain storm rolled in. People ran inside and the staff was extremely accommodating during the chaos. They were chill while figuring out which table was where. All in all, since I last visited in 2023, this restaurant has reached a whole new level. Go asap b/c once people realize that the standards have risen, you won't get a seat. read more

Came here for a birthday celebration due to the gorgeous settings, but were hugely disappointed. Food was exorbitantly priced. We ordered appetizers that were tiny and mediocre.

Went here with my Girl and another couple. The ambiance of this place is very warm, comfortable and welcoming. They have a large fire pit in the center of the restaurant...with couches all around it, not too far from the bar. Very comfortable environment. The service was very kind, respectful and prompt. For dinner I had ordered Grilled Chicken Paillard which was excellent! My Girl got Seared Rare Tuna which was prepared perfectly! Our friends ordered Roasted Cauliflower Steak and Prime New York Strip Steak Frites. All were fantastic! We also ordered a few appetizers like a Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail and a couple Chicory & Apple Salads. Anyway...very good food, very fine service and very comfortable setting. We will be going back! Great place to check out..... By the way...they're situated by the Hudson and they've got plenty of parking. read more

This place has stepped up their game! Food is much improved. Big space with beautiful Hudson views- great for a special occasion.

Made a reservation on Saturday night and came here for brunch on Sunday morning when it first opened. There is a big parking lot and the restaurant has amazing views. The window/outdoor seats are first come first serve so making the first reservation of the day at 11a was a good choice. It was raining so the outdoor seating was closed but sitting by the window you are super close to the water, which was very nice. The tapas were very good, portions are extremely small, so keep in mind to order a bunch if you are interested in tapas. The flavors were great, pleasantly surprised by the mix of flavors. Our main courses were chicken and waffle and french toast. We loved the french toast, it was close to one of the best ones we've had. The chicken and waffle had lots of breading on the chicken and I wish there was more meat than breading but overall flavor and presentation was good. This is super close to our apartment and a wonderful place for brunch, would definitely be visiting again! read more

View & Atmosphere: 10 The sunset and waterfront view is gorgeous. Food: 7.5 the buns on my Lobster Roll came burnt, but they were quick to give me a new one. Service: 10 The staff were very courteous and almost apologetic & subservient. Decor: 10 both indoor & outdoor have wonderful atmosphere. Outdoor tables have flame in the middle to keep you warm. Overall: This is a perfect place for date night. They also have a waterfront park for a romatic walk. One of the best waterfront restaurants I have seen in NY, NJ area. I'd definitely go back. read more

Lovely atmosphere by the river. Great service and great food. One of our favorite places in Westchester.

Again tried it with a friend but it's all about the view food no flavor and small portions for the price service can be a hit or miss this time was a miss and front desk people can't care at all they do is just like talking to each other and on their l phones. read more

Came for a a quiet celebration dinner. Nice surprise with a great entrance with nice bar with a fire roaring. Great ambiance. We were seated at a window with a view of the river and the Tappanzee bridge lit st night. Service was understated and unobtrusive We ordered the seafood tower to start. Great shrimp. Nicely plump with all the accompaniments. Little neck clams were lovely and smacked of the sea. The oysters were juicy and a couple were very briny but nice. The half lobster was good but a little watery - not sure why but it tasted good. The accompaniments were also well matched. Rigatoni with mushroom bolognese was the special. We had that. Nice Al dente pasta and a nice ragout with a trio of mushrooms. Taste was good but could have developed more. Felt like it was 3 parts and not one cohesive dish. Very tasty. Entree was the shrimp escarole with white wine sauce and bacon with navy bean. It was delicious. Tart taste. Nice combo. Dish came together beautifully. Shrimp were good. I would have liked more char on them but delicious I recommend this place. read more

I had the chicken sandwich, which was good, but I wanted more flavor out of it. Some of the appetizers were very small (steak tar tar and chorizo croquette) and should have been two pieces for the money. The beer I had was awesome, it was a wit or Weiss beer I believe, and the service was great. The views of the water and the city in the background are worth the visit and there were a lot of couples and families eating. read more

When we walked in, we were not greeted as we should have been. The girls at the desk were busy talking to each other. I had asked for a waterfront table, but those , one of them , said haughtily, are never reserved. They walked us over to a table overlooking their patio, closed for the winter, and which seemed as if we were sitting by a parking lot, albeit within view of the water if we turned our heads a certain way. We had two servers, which was strange, and they were as disinterested in us as the reception desk girls were. It was restaurant week. The dishes we ordered were just okay... my flounder Milanese was similar to a breaded piece out of a freezer... not great! The ice cream on the dessert was extra for a scoop of icy chocolate ice cream... the flan was too too eggy, and the top wasn't crisp at all. The experience was not what we had expected, and we will not return. read more

Hadn't been here in 3 years and decided to give it another go for my birthday. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. We had made a reservation ahead of time, so we were quickly escorted to our table. I ran back out to my car to get a forgotten item and in those few minutes, the waitress came over, introduced herself and said she'd be back to take drink orders when "the rest of the party arrives." Another waitress came over to introduce herself and said she'd be helping out the first waitress. It took 15 minutes (I timed it) upon sitting back down before the first waitress came back to ask us about drinks and another 20 minutes to receive said drinks (nothing fancy- 2 seltzers). We were seated close to the window so we had the nice view of sundown as it approached. Before our drinks arrived, the waitress came back to the table to take our order. We had to request bread as stated in the menu. We had to ask another 3 times for the bread as it took almost 45 minutes to come out. Seems pretty lengthy. Our entrees finally arrived. I ordered the BBQ ribs special. Great taste & flavor. My dad ordered the filet mignon and he needed a chisel to cut through it. Way too tough. That came with a side of mashed potatoes which were bland. No little pieces of skin or onions to enhance the taste. For $54, that steak should melt in your mouth. My mom ordered the $40 lobster roll. She enjoyed, but it was nothing special. My sister ordered the $54 seabass which was no bigger than my palm. We shared a side of broccoli & French fries, which were great. We decided to order 2 desserts. The cheesecake & chocolate mousse. Again, this took way too long (about 20 minutes). They were informed it was my birthday so they made the piece of cake fancy. The chocolate mousse tasted medicinal. I thought maybe it had espresso or liquor in it, but the waitress checked with the chef and said no. I took one bite and that was it. I also should have clarified but it was not the cheesecake I was expecting. I only like NY style cheesecake and this was far from it. This had the texture of cream cheese. Not for me. We ended up being there a little over 2 hours and not once did someone come over to refill our water cups. Usually at restaurants we have the opposite problem. They also darkened the restaurant a few times in this duration. Almost doesn't make sense as it was getting darker outside. For these prices, not sure if I'll be back. read more

It's gone massively down hill in terms of service The aesthetic and vibe is great if you don't mind mediocre food with poor service. No one is mean, but they just get a lot wrong.
