Savor the view and the food: The Boathouse

Savor the beauty of the Hudson River this winter at the Boathouse in Ossining. Enjoy a warm cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service. The sunsets are still spectacular — just earlier, and the view, while missing the boats docked along the shore, makes up for it with its unobstructed views of Rockland State Park. Winter is the time to see eagles perching on the pilings; we have even been treated to sights of seals stopping to sun themselves on the empty docks. The winter menu features our famous French onion soup and popular short rib shepherd pie. Winter is a quiet and cozy time (except for football, hockey and basketball games). Visit us in the winter — you won’t be disappointed.
