The Stewart House - Athens

I am a repeat visitor. First time was in 2022 and then this past weekend. This place is so quaint and picturesque. Food is great! Drinks are made very well and fast. The River Grill is like something out of a storybook. It’s a great getaway on the Hudson River, but far away from the frills. The ONLY gripe I had about this past trip was that the breakfast nook was not replenished when I came out for coffee Sunday AM. There were no mugs, creamer and the milk was spoiled. Texted a request at 9:28 AM and don’t hear back until 9:51 AM stating they would replenish, but that never happened. So I just walked up the street and bought a cup of coffee, but it wasn’t the same. Disappointed that they didn’t care enough to make it right.

I recommend separating the tavern and hotel into isolated Google pages and opening the food on more days, such as Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and even Mondays, not just weekends. Patrick Henry's in Coxsackie is thriving on those days. Despite this, I am a big fan of both the tavern and grill. I highly recommend both spots for their exceptional food and atmosphere, although I can only give them 4 stars due to the confusing Google Maps page. Overall, they offer great food in an exceptional atmosphere and are the best spot around.

Beautiful and charming rooms, delicious food and drinks, a cozy and traditional tavern, and a breezy riverfront grill offering stunning views of the river. Step back in time, unwind, and savor the experience.

We had an amazing dinner last night! The trout and fish and chips were the best we've ever had! We are looking forward to coming back. The service was excellent too! The drinks and dessert were also delicious!

Ate in the tavern. Did not stay in a room. Service quick and food excellent. Party of four and miscommunication with waitress only one fish chips delivered instead of two. Ran out of fish, we arrived half an hour before kitchen closed. Ordered burger instead which was excellent. Portions are large. Drinks very good. Dessert had a different take on chocolate mousse which was thicker, not the usual creamy consistency but very flavorful and white chocolate bark with nuts and fruit really nice. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the order error was not a big deal to us. Staff very accommodating. Prices about $45 per person for drinks, dinner, desserts with coffee and liquor
