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!

This place is huge and they have a lot of food to choose from. The specials were all really good, I got a seasonal special perfect for the late summer/ early fall time of year. It was a shrimp risotto with corn and pumpkin seeds. I wasn't sure how it would go together when I ordered it but I trusted the chef and I wasn't disappointed! Our waitress was super nice as well and accommodating the whole night. Definitely recommend if your vacationing in Clayton or the thousand islands region!

Jaw drop. This place is NYC/SF league. Brio Chinotto. Spiced green olives, four flavors, in tubs…read more Italian groceries packed into the tiny place. Fresh figs. That's just the weirds stuff that I like... the FOCACCIA -- they're baking it right there! There's only two sandwiches. This is a GOOD THING... meat or veggie. Apart from amazing -- small detail: romaine, crispy, super fresh... the meats and veggie patty: great recipe. This all before mentioning their namesake dish... pasta... six feet away from the baking, a lady pulling noodles out of a pasta machine, which I'll have to experience next time.

Since moving to Toronto, I miss Pasta Genova deeply…read more They have some of the very best focaccia anywhere, which alone is enough to recommend them. But they also have nearly peerless homemade pastas (of which the smoked paprika linguine is my favourite, though they often only make it by request), spectacular prepared sauces, and regular specials on essentials that will get you things like premium olive oil or balsamic vinegar* at supermarket prices. * Genova is one of the few places I've regularly found a variety of pure, aged balsamic vinegar free from sulphites. AWESOME. So, here's some tips: 1) They ONLY TAKE CASH, no exceptions. I once witnessed a woman curse them out for this fact and declare she'd tell all her friends not to shop there; when she left, everyone in the tiny shop, myself included, burst out laughing, and one of the guys declared "we can barely keep up with the customers we have, we don't need her!". Very jovial, and they took her bitch-fest so perfectly in-stride they could give lessons on how to turn the other cheek. 2) If you need a quick lunch, pick up a focaccia sandwich -- they're about $4 if memory serves, with salami, lettuce, tomato, and mustard, and they're fantastic! If you want to suddenly realize you're hungry, walk down Wellington around 11:00am for the wafting glory of baking focaccia and just try to resist the pull. 3) When ordering pasta instead of ordering by weight, order by serving size. Say things like "I'm having a dinner party for six, four big eaters and two regular", and they'll give you an incredibly accurate amount of what you need, plus a little extra (because people WILL want seconds, believe me!). 4) Their homemade calabrese olives are out of this world good. They use a puree of oil-marinated chilis, oregano, fennel (I think), and oil, and very, very good sun cured olives... and damn, these things are so good I eat them until I hurt. 5) Ask what's on special, or if they have any leftovers. I've scored half servings of pasta, day old (but still delicious) focaccia, and nearly expired but still awesome cheese for cheap. Finally, I'll also mention that the staff here are fabulous -- very nice people who greet with a smile, always bid a good day, and work diligently to help provide you with exactly what you need to hit a homerun with whatever it is you're cooking. Only downside: Toronto Maple Leaf fans. Egads!

The ambiance was a nice docile one, with not many people in the restaurant that night. Luckily my brother and sister-in-law frequent this restaurant so they were able to gives us the details of what they thought was good, but I don't think you could go wrong with anything here. For the table we ordered a large antipasto salad with the Wise Guys dressing, the garlic knots, the mozzarella moons, and the fried meatballs. The salad was SO DELICIOUS. All of the vegetable tasted fresh with just the right amount of meat and cheese mixed in. The Wise Guys dressing was the star of the show though. This dressing has such a nice balance of flavor, but also that zip that salads need. The garlic knots were also so delicious too! The knots themselves were crispy yet fluffy... and they had a generous heaping of butter and garlic atop them. The mozzarella moons and meatballs were good but not special like the other two. I got the sausage riggies for my main course... and it was so good. First off, they give you an absolute heaping portion. I have had some good riggies in the past, but I think this may have been my favorite. The sauce was a great blend of creamy with spice from the hot cherry peppers. The sausage was also so flavorful yet not too rich. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for some good Italian food in the area.

BEAUTIFUL VIEW ON THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER IN CLAYTON, NY…read more==================================================== My husband and I rented an Airbnb in Clayton from April 7, 2024 until April 10, 2024. It was a miracle we found a place, not too far from Fort Drum, because the total solar eclipse happened on April 8th. Lots of Upstate New York was under the direct path. My son and daughter-in-law stayed with us the first night and we scrambled to find a place to have dinner. My son and daughter-in-law had been to The Channelside before so we called to make a reservation. Definitely ask for a table closest to the river or sit on the outdoor patio if the weather is nice. We all liked our dinner. I had a great salad with chicken and possibly a moscow mule. I was too tired to keep track of everyone else's meals, but everyone seemed content. They are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays, open at 4:00 p.m. on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. On the weekend they are open at 11:30 a.m.. Definitely go for lunch and sit outside on a nice day.
