Dined here for my birthday it was really nice. The view is amazing, the atmosphere is perfect. The food was delicious and perfectly plated. It looks like the chef takes his time to prepare a beautiful meal. Although on the expensive side, it was worth it.

We went for our Anniversary and were thrilled at the ambiance, service and of course the food. Great views of the river from an elevated view. All of the staff were very attentive and were asked multiple times how everything was by the staff. We had the focaccia bread appetizer and was amazing with the honey butter. Look at the size of those shrimp! We will be back.

I celebrated my step mothers birthday at Shadows on the Hudson, and I'm pretty sure she's now convinced she's too cool for me. The views of the Hudson River were stunning, but let's be real, the real view was the lobster dinner - it was so good! The service was top-notch, with our server being attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. I'm pretty sure they even threw in a few extra candles on the cake just to make her feel like the queen. We paired our meal with a bottle of Moet that I NEVER had to pour from by the way. I swear every time my glass hit a certain amount, someone was on their way over to re fill my glass. Made me feel like the king I AM. All in all, our experience at Shadows on the Hudson was nothing short of exceptional. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion (or just want to treat yourself to a fancy dinner), look no further. Five stars isn't enough - I'd give it ten stars, a standing ovation, and a few extra candles on the cake if I could! 10 out if 10. Would definitely recommend. Jiggysayso Approved!

Gorgeous restaurant with great food! It's the perfect location during afternoon golden hour and sunset because the sun shines right into the restaurant. Perfect location to run outside quickly and get some photos on the Hudson River. Special place to bring an intimate group for a celebration, like on your wedding day!

Our server was very helpful, giving great suggestions. Great views of the water. We were there in the summer but it would be cozy in cooler weather. We thought this restaurant would have amazing views of fall leaves.

On our way from Connecticut to Lake George, with a few scenic detours including coffee at Half Moon in Kingston and a stop at Brooklyn Cider... I suddenly had a craving for oysters. My husband found Shadow House, and despite being dressed casually in sweatsuits, we were welcomed in. We arrived for happy hour at the bar/lounge, and it did not disappoint. I had 24 Blue Point oysters absolutely delicious. The happy hour selection was solid, and our waitress, Seth, was incredibly attentive and kind, adding to the great experience. The only thing I wish they had was room-temperature still water ( I dont drink chilled water), but that’s a small detail. Overall, the experience was exceptional. If you’re looking for quality oysters in a welcoming yet stylish setting, Shadow House is definitely worth a visit. Would love to return!
