Never do I have to ask for more water, another drink or a recommendation for a local spot to eat. Their bartenders are legit on it and really take care to craft the best vibes and drinks. Please do yourself a favor and indulge in their happy hour, offered everyday from open-6p. The mini martinis are magnifique. Cheers, The Happy Hour Huntress

Such a fun time! My…read morehusband and I decided to go for drinks on a random Wednesday and didn't expect to enjoy it as much as we did. The drinks were excellent. I had a guava pablo and absolutely loved it. Since it was a weekday, I planned to stick to one drink, but after trying a sample of a frozen "piña colada" with a spicy touch, I couldn't resist. I am still thinking about that drink! My husband tried their beer, which was super cool that they had it, and the other frozen peach drink that he really liked, but I am still obsessed with mine. We also had soft pretzels and a guava empanada. The empanada was 10/10, reminded me of home (I'm Brazilian), but the pretzels were not great (we still ate everything). The cherry on top was the really friendly bartenders, with whom we had great conversations. We will be back!

The dippy duet of the tapenade and pistachio cream dip thing (sorry forgot the name) delicious. We ordered an entree to share and everyone raved about the lamb chops. Safe to say we'll be back.

She suggested the board with smoked mackerel, served with warm bread, avocado crema, juicy cherry tomatoes and gherkins. Beautifully presented and so delicious. We loved our Pinots and of course I indulged in a second glass. Peace, The Happy Hour Huntress

After dining at Shadows on the Hudson, we were elated because we had a beautiful dining experience and were ready for the next day. Came here for dinner on a Friday night and the place was lively and busy. I loved how there were different vibes throughout the restaurant. There was the main dining room that over looked the water, where we dined, a more chill lounge type area as well as a private room - all stunning in their own right. Our server was Nico and he was great - giving us his honest recommendations - from my mocktail to my friends choice of port wine. I had the ginger mule mocktail which was 10/10. To eat, I opened for the classic Caesar salad with crispy chicken which was soooo good and the portion was absolutely massive. A bunch of my friends got the filet in addition to the salmon. We all loved our meals and were the last ones in the place - as the place closed relatively early for a Friday, at 9. All in all, we had a beautiful experience - I only wished it was day time for a view of the bridge - but we were lucky enough to see it next day for the wedding next door. Thanks to Shadows on the Hudson for an amazing dinner!

Oh WOW this place is beautiful. We came for lunch on a post-snowstorm Tuesday afternoon. After…read morewalking in, we were greeted by the host and the manager - both incredibly nice and helpful. Once we were seated at the bar (always our preference), I noticed that both the bar and dining areas are beautifully appointed. The bar's lounge area was very welcoming and the chairs looked like we could stay there for hours. We just might when we come back!! Our bartender greeted us with a smile and menus - from there, we ordered a Juice Bomb (IPA), and the Martini Rinaldi (vodka-gin martini). Let's just say I'm ruined for martinis forever and will ALWAYS want this martini. It's a perfect martini ... and I will fight anyone who tries to convince me otherwise. As far as food goes, we shared the Zucchini & Eggplant Chips. SO much food for just an appetizer (highly encourage sharing). Really flavorful chips, served with smooth tzatziki (nicely done!). Husband had the Bourbon Burger (lunch special). Properly cooked burger (med rare), juicy burger, good flavor, great ratio of burger to sauces/toppings, not overly messy but just right, and the fries were double-fried so they had that perfect crunch quality. I had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich (also a lunch special), and I have to say (again), the BEST chicken sandwich I've ever had. Beautifully crisped chicken, cabbage slaw, homemade pickles, chipotle mayo were perfectly flavored, seasoned, and balanced. It's like the perfect bite in an entire sandwich and doesn't leave your hands super messy. The sandwich is typically served with fries but I chose the house salad and it was a nice burst of freshness from a rich sandwich. That dressing is delish!! Overall... this was the kind of lunch that's WELL worth the 90 minute drive (because that's exactly what we did... haha). The Executive Chef (John Malone) is a talented individual and this place is a true Diamond on the Hudson. As a side note ... the real show-stopper is the views of the Hudson River. I couldn't get a proper picture - you'll just have to trust me. Can't wait to come back!!

All of the ingredients were so fresh and there are even students from the CIA across the street working in the kitchen. My seasonal salad was really good - loved the poppy seed dressing ! My salmon entree was cooked to perfection too. My husband had the caesar salad with a burger patty on top and he loved it. The unassuming Apple Crisp dessert was worth the calories.

We've heard from various sources that this is the best bar for neighborhood vibes. I don't always love that because it can cause this exclusionary type of situation and also, I won't name names but there's a so-called "bar where the locals go" in Fishkill that attracts folks I personally wouldn't want to rub elbows with because let's just say their values don't align with my own. But here, it's different! The bartender and manager were both SO welcoming and sweet and all around lovely that we were compelled to stay for several rounds. And the DJ was so cool. He played hip hop and R&B with some really killer mixes. At one point he even came over to me to say, "bet you never thought you'd hear me play Bjork!" It wasn't packed but it was bustling with a friendly and diverse group of Poughkeepsians (is that a word? Hudson Valleyites?). My husband made the brilliant observation that this bar would be the perfect bar to go to on Xmas night. IYKYK. So although there isn't a single thing I'd be able to eat from the menu and probably only one thing I'd drink (a really good Pinot Noir), I want to always come back here after dinner at Hudson & Packard and hell, I wouldn't even mind if everybody knew my name either.

Overall, the place is a dump. We will not be back...ever.
