    BEAUTIFUL VIEW ON THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER IN CLAYTON, NY ==================================================== 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.

    May 2023 Experience. Friendly staff, great food, beautiful view, and amazingly flavorful API. Let's see if it lives up to it in October 2024.

    We happened to come on a Sunday evening and it was packed. We were lucky to grab some bar seats and avoid the long wait. We were lucky that the bartenders were wonderful and very attentive because about 5 mins after we ordered our food the power went out in the whole area for the rest of the evening. We were very lucky because somehow our food still made it out and was pretty good. The prime rib was a big healthy portion and was cooked pretty close to medium rare. The scallops were a little chewy and didn't have a char on them but they weren't bad considering what just happened. At that point we were just happy to have food. The bartenders let us enjoy our meal and took down our credit card for when the power went back on. They even texted us a copy of the receipt. We appreciated the hospitality while we were traveling.

    Excellent location Excellent place! From the girl who seated us to the waiter "Barry" who waited on us. Don't let the front fool you..in the back is an outdoor seating area cooled by ceiling fans and right on the water beautiful comfortable clean area with a great view . The drinks came quick ..our waiter Barry was spot on even with his knowledge of the River. Food came pretty quick, and was delicious ,maybe the best around the Alex Bay and Clayton area. Plus the area Clayton is such a cool vibe. Price was reasonable, and will definitely go back while we are in the area. Even the inside is great if you can't get outside. Don't miss out give it a shot you won't be sorry.

    The view. Gorgeous.

    The Channelside is a must stop if you are staying in Clayton or nearby. They have a very nice outdoor deck with seating areas in the sun and shade overlooking the St. Lawrence River. The indoor dining area was also lovely, but we chose to eat outside. Great service and great food. We shared the stuffed peppadew peppers and then had the Blue Crunch Steak Salad and Bang Bang Shrimp as entrees. We were very happy with everything we ordered and this will absolutely be a stop anytime we are in Clayton. The stuffed peppers were full of cheesy goodness, the steak was incredibly tender on the salad and I definitely stole at least half of the candied walnuts from my husbands salad, they were just too good. Loved my shrimp, they came sans tails and the sauce was delicious. This is definitely a spot where you could lounge and spend some time having drinks or a long meal.

Here's the pros: small quaint setting with nice clean high top tables and chairs. The bar was small but stocked well. Here's the cons: very slow service, overpriced menu items. When we came in, we ordered our drinks which came fairly quickly. Since the server was also the bartender, we were waiting a while for her to take our order. I ordered the turkey club sandwich while my wife ordered a BLT sandwich. Both sandwiches did not come with a side..those were extra. We ordered a side of fries to share. Those sandwiches and fries should not have taken long to make and be served. However, we waited at least 30 minutes while the server was eating pizza with the folks at the bar. We were the only dining customers in there at the time. When the order came out, the toast on the BLT and the bacon was cold. She said she would go "warm it up". We asked for new toast. I will say that the food tasted fine. My club sandwich would have been worth the menu price of $16 if it came with a side. However, my wife's BLT, even if it came with a side, would still be overpriced at $14. Overall, for the value, the food delivered was a bit pricey. Would we go there again to eat? No. But if all you want is to stop in for a drink or two, it would be fine.

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.

    The food was very good. The location is absolutely stellar!…read more 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.
