Discover Shadows on the Hudson

Poughkeepsie’s Favorite Waterfront Restaurant

Poughkeepsie’s Favorite Waterfront Restaurant

Welcome to Shadows on the Hudson, a charming waterfront restaurant located in Poughkeepsie, NY. Our establishment perches gracefully on a cliff, 40 feet above the Hudson River and just 50 feet from its eastern bank.

The inspiration behind Shadows on the Hudson took years of careful planning by the Bonura family. They envisioned a venue that would excel in service, boast exceptional cuisine, and provide an unbelievable view – a vision shared with our sister venue, The Grandview, situated right next door.

In 2006, we opened our doors to offer every guest an unforgettable dining experience within a relaxed setting. Today, almost two decades later, our team has flourished and our commitment to excellence has led us to become the finest dining destination in the Hudson Valley. With an award-winning wine program, we continue to evolve, inviting you to join us on a remarkable culinary journey.
