Finally...CMB is back to being a solid, waterfront choice…read more After years of crappy service and food, Cafe Mooney Bay seems to have found its footing again. I'm old enough to remember the original CMB and it was great back then. I've been hoping it would get back to that level again and it has. Friendly service, solid food, perfect setting. We had a great evening. Our table had several different entrees ordered and I'll rate them... Lobster salad - excellent! Delicious, perfectly cooked lobster on a bed of fresh greens. Simple but perfect. Seafood Saute - lots of seafood over pasta. Very good. Stuffed Shells - Yum! Perfectly cooked, great presentation (yes, stuffed shells presented beautifully.) Scallop casserole - The only dud at the table. Watery and VERY overcooked scallops, too cheesy. The drinks were perfect, wine crisp and delicious. The staff was attentive and wonderful. We are looking forward to CMB being our new go-to waterfront restaurant in the Plattsburgh area.

I have no issues with that I understand however the hostess giving an attitude was not pleasant. My mom and I came in and were told "the kitchen is backed up by 45 minutes so you can sit but it's going to be awhile due to staffing" We said that's fine and sat. However the people who came after use also did NOT have a reservation and were still served drinks before us. So we said something' to the waitress. The hostess comes over and begins lecturing " I told you it's going to be 45 minutes those people only got drinks they didn't put in a food order yet" So I said "Okay so why aren't we served or offered drinks like them then?l" And she proceeded to say "it hasent even been 15 minuets" So I said "Okay well those people still came after us and were offered drinks. You said the kitchen was backed up I didn't know the bar was the same as the kitchen" Then she huffed away needles to say the waitress was very nice and professional and the food and drinks were good. However you could tell the waitress was uncomfortable and not impressed with how the hostess was literally trying to argue. Moral of the story it's common courtesy to take reservations or who comes in the door first in the appropriate order. Next time maybe just say sorry instead of arguing with your guests about a simple mistake you were called out for. I cons from a family of restaurant workers including front and back of the house. You don't just skip whoever you feel like when they were there first. I will say the hostess came back and apologized which was a nice gesture however she shouldn't have acted like that to begin with

Sitting on the bench, the table did not clear my shoulders. The chairs lifted me only a little. I ordered a half tea half lemonade and was served something truly vile. Later, I found out it was made with LIME. The shrimp cocktail was overcooked and perhaps made ahead of time. The sauce was ketchup. ??? The clam chowder turned out to be bacon flavored milk broth. The fish and chips was requested with unseasoned fries. The fries came seasoned with Old Bay. They did remake the fries, which were very good and I finally had something to eat. The fish, though, was very fishy- a sign of going bad. Never again here unless they overhaul their kitchen and recipes.

I don't know that I'd call this "fine dining", as it's described on their website. It just doesn't…read morehave that feel, due to factors like flimsy paper napkins instead of cloth, glass-covered tables instead of tablecloths, etc. But first impressions from my limited experience (lunch consisting of a fried fish sandwich, a drink, and a "Citrus Tarte" for dessert) are it's a decent full-service sit-down restaurant, and locally owned (not a chain). Because this was lunch I didn't try any of their numerous seafood entrees. The fish was haddock. A single, thick piece of a generous size that fit the bun well. The fish was very fresh, flaked nicely, and the batter was crunchy, just the right thickness, and adhered to the fish without coming off. The brioche bun, butter-brushed and shiny on top, was fresh and slightly sweet. It's served open-faced with the lettuce (good greens, not iceberg) and tomato (a thick slab, pretty good for a restaurant tomato) on one side and the fish on the other. So the greens stay crisp and you can season to your liking and then assemble it. It was served with generously-sized lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side, and the waitress brought a bottle of Tabasco on my request. This comes with choice of one side. I chose french fries. I feel that it should come with two sides. A small portion of cole slaw would have been nice but I wasn't going to order a large portion a la carte. But the fries were excellent: standard cut, with skins, double fried but not greasy, and generously salted. Perhaps a little more fries than I needed. Half fries and half slaw would be better. It was the middle of the day so I didn't try any of their interesting sounding specialty cocktails, many of which included maple syrup this being Vermont. And the sangrias sounded interesting (2 kinds; the red included amaretto and the white, peach schnapps and Sprite, both made with fresh fruit). Instead, I got a Citizen's Cider, refreshing and bubbly, filling the pilsner glass to the brim, and just slightly sweet. Perfect. My waitress, and service overall, was good. There was a bit of a delay after ordering my drink, and I was very thirsty, but she eventually returned, with apologies for the delay, and also brought water at that time without asking. No other issues with service. She even noticed a mistake on the bill and corrected it before I even noticed: charged me for the wrong dessert, saving me a whole dollar! For dessert I got the "Citrus Tarte". From the description it sounded like a Key Lime Pie so I asked and she said that's basically what it is. I imagine the only difference is they use a generic lime juice or other citrus rather than key lime. It was ok but not spectacular. The filling wasn't really tangy enough and lacked that special key lime flavor. The crust, loosely pressed graham cracker, was very good, with more than the usual amount of salt. However, it was served with an excessive amount of whipped topping out of a spray can, and it was definitely not real cream. Moreover it was starting to melt so it was not attractive. I didn't use it. Either use real whipped cream - even if it's from a spray can - or leave it off completely please. The dessert was HUGE though. I wasn't planning to eat the whole thing but in the end I did. The place was clean but a bit run down. The floor was covered by outdated wall-to-wall carpeting and was stained (but not dirty). Wood paneling was chipped and in need of refinishing. Curtains on the windows have seen better days. Overall though, it's an attractive, comfortable place to eat. The bar was especially attractive with its dark wood and mirrors, and quirks like an antique grandfather clock (not woking) gave it a a homey feel. Bonus: I saw no television anywhere! Restroom was also clean. I don't know that I'd get an expensive seafood dinner here. But maybe I would. They do have quite a large selection, not all standards. I'm a bit bothered by their vagueness about sourcing, saying only "We strive to ... support local farms and other local vendors as much as possible." Without listing the names of those farms and vendors as is customary. And "as much as possible" really means nothing at all as far as I'm concerned. Ok, so first impression, based on a limited lunch experience, is 4 stars. This could go down or stay the same on a return visit and I'll update if that happens. It was good enough that I'd certainly consider a return visit someday.
