Whiskey River NY — Restaurant in City of Peekskill

Hospitality is off the charts. The Food is to die for. Eat here, now!

I called Whiskey River to make a reservation for my boyfriend's birthday. It had to be outside and it HAD to have a tent. (This isn't quite as easy to do during COVID times + a looming tropical storm approaching last weekend.) I knew we'd need a rain plan. I worked with the owner, Cynthia, who was MORE than accommodating. She set up a tent for us and was in touch with me all week in the lead-up to the day, checking the weather report. The party day came and wouldn't you know, the storm came crashing down on us as soon as we sat under the tent. Cynthia offered us some inside space instead and her team thoroughly disinfected the area of the bar for us and blocked it off from any other guests. She understood our needs and concerns about being inside during this tricky time and made us feel incredibly safe. She even came to escort us from the tent with a golf umbrella so we didn't get soaked! :) We had yummy beers & cocktails and ordered dinner while we waited out the storm.

As soon as the rain let up, the team wiped down our soaked outdoor tables and brought our dinner outside. We ooo'd & ahh'd over our food!!(DEFINITELY order the Empanadas** , the Burrata salad, the Fish Tacos, the Wiener, the Up the River Burger!!!!) Seriously, trust me. Then we sang happy birthday over cake from the local bakery (which Cynthia went to pick up for me!!) and headed out.

All of this to say, that Whiskey River's goal is to make sure you're having a great experience, and they delivered. I do event planner for a living and I would choose this team to support my events ANY day of the week. They were incredible to work with even before we tasted the food, and then WOWZA, you will not be disappointed!! Go here, now!

Thank you Whiskey River team! We'll see you...

My girlfriend and I have been wanting to try this place, so we decided to go last night for my birthday. Aside from having to account for COVID restrictions, the whole day was uncertain with the tropical storm that was coming through. This place, along with Cynthia and their entire staff, could not have been more accommodating. They helped us navigate the rain by moving the reservation around, and set up a tent in the street so we could dine outside and help us feel comfortable. When we got there and sat down, it started to pour, and knowing some of the party was a bit uncomfortable dining inside, they did everything they could to give us our own section of the restaurant, and disinfected the whole area. At the end of it all, we ended up eating outside, and the food was phenomenal. Everyone absolutely loved what they got. Thank you to the entire staff for helping make my birthday special. We will absolutely be coming...

Well worth the visit. They were extremely thorough with cleaning and sanitizing between customers. Additionally, the staff was quite welcoming and fairly attentive considering how busy it was this afternoon.

I have a number of allergies and our server was attentive in making sure that anything I ordered would not cause any issues. This is probably one of the only places I've ever been that anyone was aware that a capsaicin allergy exists and actually checked to make sure which dishes contained the allergen. I can't tell you how often I end up not being able to even eat a meal because I need benadryl or an epi pen after only one bite because the staff don't believe me. I'm extremely appreciative.

On top of that, the food was very tasty. The food menu is small but considering how much my dining companions enjoyed their food as well, seems to be well curated. Do prepare for a a bit of a wait but it's worth...
