Food was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect. Had a little mix up with one of our meals, but one of themanagers was super accommodating and very polite, they got it worked out right away. One of our favorite places to dine. Read more

I recently revisited Shadows on the Hudson for dinner for 2 after about a 10 years away. Spectacular views overlooking the Mid... Hudson Bridge and Hudson River always make a visit here seem like a celebration. Shadows outdoor bar was a regular after workhappy hour spot when I worked in the area and I was curious to see how it has evolved over the past decade. The reception areawas very friendly they seated us inside, as requested. Our waitress, Rachel was professional, attentive and experienced. Wereceived excellent service all around. We ordered the garlic shrimp for an appetizer ???? ???? My girlfriend ordered thehalibut special and really enjoyed it. I ordered the 12 Oz. NY Strip medium rare and thought it was cooked perfect. Warm,tender and red on the inside with a savory onion glaze. Yum! After dinner we sat at the outdoor bar and had a few drinkswatching the boats go by. It was a lovely dinner and experience. Dinner for 2 ran about 160 before tip. We were in agreementthat Shadows pulled off authentic "fine dining" in Poughkeepsie, NY. It definitely has more of a fine dining (and less of anight club) feel then I remember from 10 years ago ???? My gf said the bathrooms were "amazing." We are looking forward tocoming back for drinks and appetizers later in the summer. Check them out. Read more
The brunch was exceptional and the best so far. It was so much food from short ribs, roasted chicken, fish and lots of side... dishes, salad, pastas, as well as breakfast items and so many delicious desserts. The sparkling wine was great too. Beautifulview of the Hudson River with indoor and outdoor seating. Read more

Shadows on the Hudson has a spectacular setting along the river. Large windows and french doors open out to viewing decks... overlooking the river, the forest on the opposite bank and the north bound trains. They offer a tantalizing menu with something for every taste. I thoroughly enjoyed the prawn starter on garlic bread, delicious! The restaurant is quite large with afireplace in the centre, creating a cozy vibe. The service was efficient and friendly. A family friendly restaurant. It wasdelightful to see the lovely rainbow on our way out. Enjoyed lunch for 9 people on 9 April 2022. Read more
My family and I went to this beautiful restaurant on the water for a late dinner. It was 7 of us and a 8 month old baby My... family are big supporters of this restaurant! We wanted to sit outside by the water but the waiter said we can’t bc he did nothave a table to accommodate us. And they could not put tables together. I was like wow ok. My expectations for this place washigh now it’s dwindling! My mom order a shot or remy martin , the waiter was like it’s coming, he brought out everyone elsedrinks but not my moms. Then he came back like we just have to open a new bottle. Finally, like 15 mint later ,he came back andsaid we don’t have it ! I’m like what the world u just said they was opening up a new bottle! We ordered appetizers andthey were not good at all. A few of us ordered grill shrimp , my sister sent hers back. It was missing sauce, and it was bland.It was like the food was thrown on the plate. they have all been there b4 so we know how the dishes look & taste. Unfortunatelymy niece n my mom taste my grill shrimp so I couldn’t sent it back! We ordered the garlic bread tower . we got a few pieces .Normally it’s in a shape of a tower. Then we ask for bread like 3 times . The waiter comes back and say it was no more. Hegave us some free garlic bread, however it came when the dinner was almost over. I ordered the shrimp bucatini, it was so dry,noodles was hard and real spicy. I wanted to send it back for something else but everyone reminded me that kitchen was closed.My mom also ordered the Black Sea bass to go. he brought out a little piece of fish . That plate was for a kid. We sent thatback. The guy waiter was not that helpful. I’m sorry my experience was not great . You know eating their cost a pretty penny!That food was not worth the money !!! i wanted dessert but i did not want to chance it. I will not be going back anytime soon .I guess to each it’s own!
