Saugatuck Rowing And Fitness Club

I went here with my family after making funeral arrangements for my beloved grandma. Maybe this is kinda weird, but this place was just what I needed. The view is absolutely beautiful, the food great, and everything was just nice and peaceful. It cheeredme up for a while. I don't expect anybody else to be in that position, but it was an absolutely wonderful excursion.

We sat outside, had a lovely view and good food. We will definitely be back!

Lovely setting, perfect ambience for a summer’s evening overlooking the Saugatuck River. The crab cakes and lobster bisque were delicious however we felt the limited menu of main courses was heavy and too “Italian” based which is over done in our area. Robert, the new Maitre d’ was delightful and brought a warm and affable element to the beautifully redone dining terrace and dining room. A solid very good but the menu needs tweaking.

The restaurant has great views for people having outside sitting, however menu selection is limited, and noise level is pretty high when all outside sitting tables are occupied. We had an early reservation (5:30 PM) and just few other tables were occupied, however around 6 PM 6:15 PM two large parties arrived and the environment became very noisy. The menu selection is quite limited, plain and not very sophisticated. The parking is also limited. The restaurant is located at the Saugatuck Rowing Club and it is usually very busy during the workweek afternoons with middle and high school kids attending rowing and workout practices until 6PM 6:30 PM. I would recommend visiting this restaurant just as an experience, but I am not planning to go there any time soon. I would recommend to visit Rive Bistro instead.

Lovely setting, attentive service, very pleasant ownership who are eager to please. The restaurant is on a wonderful riverside location with ample parking. The food is a bit underwhelming, not very flavorful but if you’re looking for a great location and atmosphere to meet friends for drinks, it’s a can’t miss in Westport
