I had a fantastic experience at Fin & Brew in Peekskill! The highlight of my meal was the Fisherman Stew — an incredibly tender and flavorful dish, made with a rich coconut milk base that adds a subtle sweetness and creaminess. Every bite was perfectly balanced and comforting. To go with it, I tried the Paperboy Wheat — an excellent unfiltered wheat beer. Light, smooth, and refreshing. It paired beautifully with the stew and really rounded out the whole meal. Great food, great drinks, and a great atmosphere. Definitely a place worth visiting again!
Food is high quality and delicious. The desserts by the pastry chef, Sarah, are really amazing! Riverside so outdoor dining can be extra cold/windy or hot weather dependent. They priced the food higher than many restaurants out here, but the food is worth it. We always leave happy and full! I’ve eaten here a total of three times now (it’s more of a special occasion spot for us) and each time I’ve been impressed. Last time we were there I ordered the sushi tasting platter and really enjoyed it. We loved how Chef Mike talked to each table and connected with the diners. We felt very at home and the atmosphere was romantic, friendly and cozy. They seem to have a venue for weddings and other events. I peeked in and it looks fantastic with a great view of the river! Update: have gone back many times since this review and I still love this spot! Menu is always changing so there’s always something new to enjoy and dessert selection is fab. Thank Chef Mike and Sarah.
We had an amazing meal and customer service experience on a Thursday evening. I personally ordered the Crispy Pork Belly (appetizer), Long Island Duck (main), and the Tart (dessert). I would also recommend the Octopus Ragu and Panzanella for other appetizers; the Hokkaido Scallops and Marinated Skirt Steak for the main; and the Mille Feuille and Chocolate Cremeaux for dessert. The hazelnut flavor in the mille feuille was the best and recommend this dessert option. Also, had a bit of the chocolate cremeaux with the raspberry sauce from the tart (in photo). I'm a sucker for raspberry chocolate, so I had to try (sorry!) My husband had the Triforce IPA and he said it was good! Although, maybe we were biased because of the name reference. The only little flaw was from where I was seated, the heat from the vent was blasting in mine and my friend's face. Not a very comfortable spot. I bared with it, since it wasn't going to ruin my night or anything, but it wouldn't have been so significant if it wasn't running so powerfully in very frequent intervals for some time. Other than that, I would love to come here again for a nice, casual, and friendly dinner with friends.
Hands down one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I got the seafood stew and my husband got the branzino with couscous. Chef Mike came out to the table multiple times, and we even watched him seat customers. Every one of the staff contributed to the dining experience. We got the butternut squash tart and Brussels sprouts for appetizers. Dessert was chocolate and passion fruit and the Guillermo del Corno flan with homemade cornflakes. Everything was amazing.
5 of us went there on Sunday afternoon. Service was excellent and the food was two. We started with Brussels sprouts to die for and 4 of us got the steak sandwiches. Holy cow! They were delicious - it was skirt steak cooked to perfection. The view was amazing and we enjoyed every moment of our meal.
Octopus with five spice French toast was absolutely delicious. Duck was amazing and crispy. Scallops are from Hokkaido, Japan and were perfectly cooked - absolute bomb. Had to loosen my belt twice but it was absolutely worth it.
This waterfront, seasonal menu restaurant specializing in seafood & comfort fare should be in your must try list. Not only were the staff friendly, the food tastes heavenly! I couldn't help myself, so I googled who the chef was. He even came out to meet us. Thank you Chef Mike! Looking forward to trying the dinner menu soon!
I’ll keep this review short and simple - this place is delicious and I love that the owner and head chef personally stops by the table to check on you.
