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!

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.

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!

We ordered the following: 1,000 Island Omelet (ham, onion, bell pepper, cheddar cheese, and tomatoes). The omelet was accompanied by perfectly seasoned potatoes, strawberries, and rye roast. The other order was the Harbor Breakfast (2 sunny side up eggs, turkey sausage, potatoes, English muffins, and strawberry). Both of these selections were flavorful, filling, and cooked to perfection. I cannot recommend the Seaway Grille enough and am so glad that it's conveniently located within the 1,000 Islands Harbor Hotel.

I ordered the Christmas Margarita both evenings and enjoyed the pomegranate blended nicely with triple sec and tequila, sage and cranberry. The first evening it was perfect blend but the second was made too strong but packed with ice, so completely two different cocktail's. I ordered grilled filet mignon medium rare that came carrots and potatoes. Large bread basket with several butter options. Unfortunately the steak was delivered with no pink in the middle so well past medium rare. Still tender and juicy though with Auju, carrots and potatoes were plentiful and cooked and flavored well. The Christmas Margarita was taken off the bill to compensate for steak not being cooked to perfection. Both visits were very pleasant!

Though it was noted at the bottom of their menus, the server was a little light on the knowledge of what could be gluten-free. It appears they have a lot that can work, but just need a bit more understanding from staff. We got a modified garlic chicken over potato instead of pasta, black and blue nachos, and a Mediterranean platter. The flavors on everything was excellent. There was such a dynamic bite in each of the dishes. Flavors had tremendous depth, and the menu variety was superb. Of note the hummus on the platter had a smokiness that made it unique and delicious. It was better than a standard Mediterranean platter, and I have to applaud them. For improvement, there was not an easily accessible menu online, and that might be one area to work on. Overall, this was a lovely evening and a lovely place for anybody to visit .

I am pretty sure we ordered the Classique Poutine. They have twelve different versions, so that's nice. Then my husband and I split the Wac Arnold hamburger and my son ordered something else that I can't remember. We were all happy, especially with the poutine.
