We loved the setting, staff, and food. There was a very loud group intent on disrupting the dining room, but we still enjoyed our anniversary dinner. Julie was outstanding and even offered to take our picture in front of the sunset. We will definitely return

My son ordered the duck and said it was great; my salmon was cooked perfectly; the rest of our group liked their dinners; and our waitress was excellent.

About the restaurant

Wood-burning ovens and ingredients sourced from nearby farms are the centerpieces of River Pavilion - Hutton Brickyards' open-air restaurant located on the banks of the Hudson River. By daylight, sunset and starlight, guests enjoy a pageant of clouds, color, and activity on the water.

Enjoy a cocktail in our lounge and then a delicious meal near one of our many fireplaces. Lose track of time and enjoy course upon course of elevated cuisine inspired by the Hudson Valley’s bounty.

The Brown Swan was very quiet on our arrival for dinner at 600pm. We were seated promptly. The drinks we ordered from the menu were unavailable. But, the manager came out and apologized for the delay and bought us a drink of our choosing for free. My wife loved the trout and I had the Schnitzel. Both were very good and flavorful. Overall, it was an above average experience!!
