The Tavern at Croton Landing — Restaurant in Town of Cortlandt

We would've given a 4 star review since we always like the food. When we came in for lunch, the AC was on full blast. Not too many people there, so accumulating body temp wasn't expected. I asked our server if the AC could be turned down, and she just gave an "oh well" little laugh and said she'd ask but she"didn't have much control over the AC". Small place, we could see her as she placed our drink orders (which we had to wait several minutes for her to take) at the kiosk but she made no attempt to ask about the AC. A LONG wait for the drinks considering there were a few bartenders and it wasn't busy. When our drinks finally arrived, I reminded her to see about turning down the AC. She said well, you're welcome to find another place to sit. (Really?? It's a tiny place!) My husband explained that it didn't really matter where we sat since it was such a small place. We overheard her go to another employee and start by saying "A customer says it's cold in here..." proving she never brought it up before then. This employee immediately turned the settings on both units from 66 to 74. Relief was had within minutes. When we were nearly finished with our drinks, I waved my hand to get our server's attention, while she was standing against a back wall with her arms crossed. She came over and I asked if we could order our food. She apologized, took our order. Never checked on us. When we called her over for the check she asked if we wanted another round or some water (should've asked about water at the outset) . She was young, but really, she didn't want to be there. And shouldn't be. Go...

We are staying at the Half Moon Bay Marina and by not having a car your options to eat are limited here. Thankfully The Tavern is 1 mile away from the Marina and it is a beautiful walk by the water with sidewalks all the way. It is a small place and a locals favorite. The ambiance is fun and the place is not a dark tavern style. There is outdoor seating where we saw people with their dogs. Service is good. They have a full bar: liquor, beer and wine. The food selection is interesting and the items we had were all very good. The buffalo wings are some of the best we have had: crispy yet juicy and not greasy. The Reuben sandwich was delicious: tender corn beef and good bread. The Greek calamari salad was tasty and with a good homemade dressing. The buffalo shrimp is grilled shrimp and then tossed in buffalo sauce: juicy and tasty. The prices are good. Our experience was so good the first night that we came over for a second night and brought a group of boater...

We were out exploring the world as it is in New York state, and the name Croton On Hudson just sounded so appealing we had to check out the village. It was a dreary rainy day, and we were looking for a place to grab a meal and relax for an hour. For some reason we just couldn't find anyplace to go, and then we passed by The Tavern. We were very pleased with the quality of the food, the wonderful service, and the relaxed home town atmosphere of the place. We both ordered specials, mine being a glazed salmon and vegetables, my wife had a grilled chicken salad. Mine was just about the best piece of salmon I ever tried, and I've eaten literally a ton of salmon! Perfect portion size, expertly cooked. I would have been totally happy to stay all afternoon and ride out a nice beer buzz, it is just that kind of place. But alas, we had other fish to fry. If we didn't live 1200 miles away we'd certainly make it one of our...
