Shadows on the Hudson
Waterfront restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows and a large covered terrace overlooking the Hudson; the river view is the main draw, especially at sunset.
Located at 176 Rinaldi Boulevard on Poughkeepsie's waterfront, floor-to-ceiling windows and a covered terrace face the Hudson River, with views of the Mid-Hudson Bridge and the Walkway Over the Hudson. The Infatuation found the food good but not memorable, saying the view is the main reason to visit. Recommended dishes include Buffalo-style fried calamari, the French dip sandwich and a spicy watermelon margarita, and the crab cake sliders at happy hour are also well liked. Prices are on the high side, and food and service can be inconsistent; Sunday brunch reviews are mixed. Booking a window seat in advance is recommended. The restaurant is about a 10-minute walk from Poughkeepsie train station.
