Shadows on the Hudson

Me and my partner celebrated our anniversary here and it was absolutely amazing. The staff is super friendly and go above and beyond to make sure you get what you need. The food is outstanding, we each had the filet mignon and it was simply delicious . I have a gluten allergy and they were super understanding and careful with my meal. The view is also an added bonus!

The chocolate mousse is not as described and they did not follow my note that I was gluten free. There was nothing in the description that mentioned gluten-containing ingredients, but I made a note, just in case. They still included cookie crumble, the hazelnut was replaced with walnut, and there were no raspberries. The mousse itself was denser than it should have been. I am not sure what you would accurately call it. I also ordered the french cut chicken breast. The breast itself was tasteless, but the sauce was good. There was 3/4 cup of vegetables including two brussels sprouts, a tiny potato and tiny cubed butternut squash. There was no cauliflower puree (perhaps it contained gluten?, but if so, they could have added a few more veggies). What made this a one star review was that when I called the restaurant to see if what appeared to be cookie crumbs was, in fact gluten-containing cookie crumbs, they confirmed it contained gluten and they saw my order specified "gluten free", but nothing was offered to correct the error. They could have refunded $6.50 (half of the cost) or offered to make me a new one, but all I received was an apology. I am glad I noticed the error and that I asked before becoming violently ill, but an apology is simply not acceptable from a "fine dining" establishment.
