"We enjoyed a peaceful lunch on the outside deck overlooking the St Lawrence River. The server was gracious, the food was good, and the view was priceless! A Great Lakes ship sailed past while we ate, too."
Welcome!
Tucked into an early 19th century building on Riverside Drive in the historic town of Clayton, New York, the cozy Channelside offers a tasty choice of menu items.
The waterfront seating provides a fantastic view of the St.Lawrence River and the many ocean-going ships transiting the Seaway enroute to Great Lakes and Canadian ports. A short stroll from the renowned Antique Boat Museum and the popular Clayton Opera House, Channelside's bright red awning is an inviting landmark that will guide you to the entrance.
Whether stopping for cocktails and appetizers, meeting friends for lunch or dinner, or just dropping in to spend some time watching the many watercraft ply the river you will find that the cordial staff and owners provide a pleasant welcome.
The extensive menu is supplemented with daily specials and the full service bar provides an exceptional wine selection and a variety of ice cold beer on tap.
