The Merchant's burger with sweet potato fries was better than average. The service was very friendly . Someone in our group had the fish and chips and said it was great. The view is wonderful

Great view right on the water with unique spins on classic items. Be sure to try the wasabi aioli for a perfect kick to any fresh seafood plate.

Facing Lady Liberty herself, Merchants River House serves American Regional fare without emptying your wallet. Emphasis on the family-friendly, it’s the place for a casual waterside get-together. Read more

I wanted to like this place with its scenic setting - but we had high prices, small portions, inattentive (even if kind) service... and mac and cheese and bacon were both dry and bland.

eric bornemann

Limited menu and slightly cramped dining room but good for out of town guests who want a view .

Kerry Ryan

Cobb salad is my fave. But have it with the citrus vinaigrette not the ranch.

Federica Rapa
