We wanted to try someplace new and this was a solid choice. We started with apps. Coconut shrimp was homemade, tasty, sauce was excellent. You could actually taste the shrimp. "Chicken tenders" was actually chicken cutlets. Maybe consider describing them better. A little overcooked/dry, but I appreciated they were homemade. Burger was good, preformed patty, cooked correctly. My partner got some type of seafood dish, said the swordfish was so delicious it didn't even need the sauce. The view was excellent outside! Bar service was a little slow, as it was busy on a week night. Server was great. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. Ordered buffalo wings as an app and the open faced steak sandwich. After a long wait, the wings and steak sandwich came out together. The wings were fatty but tasty. The steak sandwich was cold with the cheese congealed on it. I had a butter knife to cut through the steak. Very disappointing. read more

Sadly with the location they have, this place could have been a fabulous success year round, one of the best restaurants in CT , packed every lunch and dinner with a waiting list for reservations for weeks or more. INSTEAD IT just a local bar with mediocre food, menu, and service. BECAUSE instead of offering class, atmosphere, and great food they emphasize their bar, cheap drink nights, and Karaoke. If you just want a place like this they are everywhere. I guess that is why they close in the winter. read more

Very expensive, their cup of chowder is a tiny bit larger but they wanted $14.50 for it. Outrageous. Ordered a med rare cheeseburger, roll was stale and the burger was raw. Fish and chips very greasy. Only thing positive is the location. read more

How odd they change owners or part owners often. But its still a great place to have a lunch by the Housatonic River, Great summer location.

Amazing food!! This is the perfect spot in the summer to sit outside and enjoy the river. The service is always great! read more

Light and airy decor, excellent service and good food. My wife and I stopped for a light lunch and we were pleasantly surprised by the views, service and food. I had the lobster bisque, it was very good with chunks of lobster. My wife had the outstanding new England clam chowder and a Cobb salad. The salad was fresh and big ! The restaurant has outdoor seating, a four season-type room and an indoor space, all with great views of the river. Btw, there's also a dock! I recommend the Housatonic House. read more

We went here primarily for the riverside view and that was enjoyable but the food was actually good across the board, The Tahitian burger was not that impressive looks-wise but once you bite into them, they prove to be absolutely delicious. Exact amount of barbecue needed to elevate the burger rather than overtake it. The rest of the table also enjoyed the fish and chips, chicken sandwich and homemade tiramisu. A new rotation addition for sure. read more

We had a beautiful lunch at this spot along the river. It is accessible for my husband on a scooter. The service was excellent and all our food was yummy! I can't wait to go back to have a cocktail on the outside deck in the evening! So much fun! read more

Stopped in for drinks, food looked good but did not eat. Nice water view. Waitress friendly and attentive. Worth a stop.

Pretty pretty good and the views are just beautiful. We came in for a quick lunch in August so we sat outside. The weather was perfect. The patio was welcoming and the scenic views of the river made us feel like we were on vacation. read more

We absolutely loved lunch at this "new" place that is in the old "Stones Throw" building. They've done a fabulous renovation, it's much brighter and modern with extended parking which was a huge issue before. The staff was pleasant right from walking in the door and very attentive and helpful during service. We ordered a dish to take out as well as our lunch and they handled that well. We began with Bang Bang Shrimp which was perfect, 11 large shrimp with the perfect coating and sauce, I could make a meal if that with a side salad! Our mains were Housatonic Burger, modified without red onion plus bacon - perfect cook and juicy and delicious. The Special - Cavatelli with broccoli rabe and sausage was delicious, the sausage was sliced and sautéed, no bitterness in the rabe no oiliness, maybe the best I've ever had! The Arugula salad with goat cheese, caramelized walnuts and mango and grilled chicken was fabulous, just a light toss in vinaigrette finished it off perfectly! With the beautiful view of the river through the huge windows or a choice of outdoor seating with took me back to European outdoor dining, they've really made this a place to be! And yes, we'll be back!! read more

My wife and I were going out on a date a few weeks ago and at the last minute it fell through so we ended up just going out for dinner with my mother in law and pivoted and found this place. Awesome location right on the river. We were on the deck which was kinda warm until they slid the canopy off and opened it all up and it was gorgeous. Menu wasn't huge but covered all the bases. We started with the arugula salad which was great and we tried to recreate it at home the next week. For dinner I got the chicken Scarpariello which is one of my favorite dishes. It was a fine meal, but vastly different than how I expect the dish made, using a red sauce and not having any sausage and wasn't very spicy. I wouldn't order it again and they should IMO change the name. My wife had the chicken rigatoni which was decent, but fairly standard. My mother in law on the other hand took a chance on the Chilean sea bass which was excellent and both my wife and i wished we'd ordered it ourselves. Bill seemed a little high, but given the location it wasn't outrageous. Note that parking can be very tricky. We were there early on a Friday and it didn't seem that busy but free spaces were limited and it's tough to back out from your spot directly onto the main road. Don't want the hassle of parking? Just take your boat and park at their dock. read more

Had a great lunch here. They did some remodeling from the previous owners and it's really an improvement. Especially to the bar area. The owner came over several times to make sure all was ok. Staff was courteous and friendly. Food was well prepared and very tasty. Wishing the new owner great success. read more

We choose this restaurant for Mothers Day there were 10 in our party. It seems that any of us that ordered Chicken dishes they all gave us runs for our money(pepto time). The service was probably as to be a Holiday but extremely slow.my brother ordered a NY Strip steak which he could have got a better cut at Aldi and was delivered well done opposed to Rare. My brother in law got a perschuto sandwich with everything but the meat, we don't mind the pricing but way over rated where salads start at $21 and burgers nearly $20. They made the place very nice in the main house but definitely not worth the bang for the Buck read more

Wow! Amazing! Exceeded my expectations! I had my daughter's Jack & Jill bridal shower here and the staff, the setup, the food, and atmosphere did not disappoint.

Owner Mike went above and beyond for us so we could sit down and have a meal but still keep an eye on our sleeping daughter. He pulled a table up to the gate so our car was only 10 feet away. Food and waitress were excellent as well! We will definitely be back! read more

We are close to being regulars. We know the food and what to expect. Today I got inferior crab cakes and when I mentioned it to our waiter that they were mostly filler she just said that's the way they are, which is not true. I left most of it on my plate all torn apart as I was looking for crab meat. Still no response from a waiter who knows us. Very disappointed with the change in the food and the response. They also play disgusting music that is not suitable for the older age of the majority of their customers. I don't know what they are thinking! read more

Food is always fabulous! Service usually is fantastic! However tonight our server was way below par! she sat us, came back for our drink order then went away for a few more minutes, came back for food order which was fabulous! Food always is! But she continued to get lost on us at one point we had to ask twice for drink order(she forgot) the best was when we asked may we see a dessert menu? She got lost for at least 15 minutes came back, we said can we get our check? She did not even remember that we asked for dessert??? Really ? Again food is fabulous usually service was too! But not today!!! Oh may I add she was not overwhelmed! She only had 2 tables she was taking care of!!! read more

We visited the Housatonic House on Father's Day. We ordered our appetizers and meals at the same time. We ordered the mussels as an appetizer and the seafood paella for our dinners. When the mussels came out they smelled bad. We sent them back and ordered something else. Our dinners came out soon there after. The seafood paella came out with mussels in them. Once again, the mussels were bad. We complained to the server and asked if they could replace the mussels with shrimp. Which they did. The problem I have is that they served bad mussels. When we returned them the first time why would you include them in another meal? It wasn't one bad mussel. All the mussels were bad. Not once did the manager or owner come to the table to apologize or speak to us. The poor server was left to deal with the situation on her own. I definitely will not be going back. read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant since it opened. On Sunday we decided to go for lunch. Parking is tough, but we found a spot. There was a baby shower going on that was very loud in the other room. We sat in the bar at a table and the views are beautiful. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and they were really good. Then ordered the twin lobster rolls and they were disappointing. It tasted like they poured lemon juice over the top, which soaked into the rolls. Overall it was a great lunch and we'll definitely go again! read more

I've passed this restaurant nearly every day and noticed it was drawing a crowd. So in between bad weather we stopped in for dinner. The location is perfect as it lies along a picturesque bank of the Housatonic river. Inside it's a mix of upscale modern and dock n dine. The menu was fairly extensive both with drinks and food plus a specials menu. You will find something you like. The prices are expensive. At least a few dollars more than they should be on pretty much all items. The food was solid, not anything special though but good enough to comeback and try something else. We had coconut shrimp which was a good starter. Entrees we're a lightly battered shrimp which I'd order again and skirt steak which was good but I'd try something different next time. It was overcooked but still tender and tasty but it's a real basic dish of fries, small salad and a nice portion of steak. Service was attentive and friendly until the disappearing act performed after our plates were cleared. We never saw our waitress again after she cleared our plates and we ended up just checking out up front. The positives were the food service and scenery. What keeps it from a 5 star is the pricing. I left feeling like we could have had the same food at other restaurants for 75% of the price. Maybe the scenery is worth the extra 25% but the prices make this more of a special event or date restaurant than a regular weekly or monthly outing. read more

Very nice! Great location. Valley feel and yet different! From the service to food to owner it was an amazing experience! This will definitely be a frequent stop this summer.

Let's see. What good can I say? Nice setting in daylight? This is speculative, as we went for dinner. Look, I'd love to wax positive, but the food left our bodies within two hours. Yeah. Sorry, truth. It SEEMED suspect, especially the unidentifiable seafood corpse in the seafood grill "special" - but we ate it. The hanger steak was best described as...extra chewy. Yum. Our wait-staffer was fine. But there was a party going on behind the bar. I know rule of thumb is no drunks behind the bar, but hey - it was a Saturday. Anything goes. Last time I stop at a joint just because the parking lot is busy. I sometimes forget that most people think explosive remembrance is a normal part of eating out. Bye! read more

Friendliest service, best views of lake Housatonic, clean atmosphere and restrooms, full bar, what more can you ask for!? I stopped in 3 days in a row as we are In town for my son's camp. Wish I was here more and had a chance to have a full meal here. But, came for an afternoon drink each day. Totally enjoyable! Great spot!! read more

Food price / quality rating 9. Atmosphere is "Riverside Neo-Classical" with plenty of glass. Large 20+ seat granite bar, and a dozen high-tops, all with sweeping views. Two cozy dining rooms with a two sided fireplace, and a large outdoor, shaded seating area. All seating includes a 180° sweeping view of the Lake Zoar portion of the Housatonic River. We ordered Nachos and a half rack of ribs. Both were prepared properly and served hot. The on-site owner and chef, Mike and his brother, second generation restauranteurs, have put together a casual and relaxed space where it's easy to relax. Contemporary tavern style menu with several clever entree offerings. Small but well chosen draught selection. Service was very good and the prices were right. Will most certainly return soon! 9/8/22. Food price / quality rating 8. Our second visit we split the Lobster Rolls (two buns with buttered lobster), and although it was delicious, it was a little light on the amount of lobster compared to other area restaurants charging the same price. I also was disappointed with the French fries. They weren't house cut fries, but the frozen out of a bag fries, which I don't really care for. House cut fries are well worth the minimal effort required. Service was very good. read more

First time coming here and won't be my last! Very chill ambiance. Beautiful views no matter what time of the day it is, but my husband and I came here right at sunset! It was a bit chilly tonight being on the deck so make sure you wear a sweater if that's the case, but I sucked it up! It's nice inside, beautiful fireplace. Lots of tables. Looks deceiving on the outside but the place is spacious. Beautiful bar area too. They had karaoke tonight which was nice. My husband and I were waiting for about 10 minutes after being seated, but I'm not going to stress that only because it wasn't that big of a deal to me. The staff are very friendly! Great personalities and polite! The food is absolutely delicious! The prices match inflation but I don't care. Great portion size! The steak was cooked perfectly to medium well! Their chimichurri sauce is superb! Yum! My husband really liked his chicken scarpiello. I had a piece of it, it was juicy and had the right amount of spice! But not overly spicy! The cocktail drinks were really good! I definitely recommend the hard lemonade and "A day on the Housatonic"! This is a great spot for brunch, lunch or dinner! If you're on rt 34, make a pit stop here! read more

We have driven by many times and many different names over the years. My wife and I watched the renovation to Housatonic House commenting that we should try it and finally last weekend we did. There were a few other tables of 2 and a large table (10) when we arrived. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive. We both ordered the tahini burgers and they were awesome. We both also went with the standard fries - they were flavorful but much skinnier than I prefer - so next time will try a substitution. As others have said - clean place, awesome views. We will absolutely be back for lunch and will have to try dinner! read more
