   Menu was meh — and NO FISH! We were told it’s because it doesn’t make economic sense to offer fish in the off-season, but that next week (right before Memorial Day) they’ll expand their menu. Also, very very Gluten-free UNfriendly. For example, no gf bread or pasta and even had a paella on the menu using FARRO rather than rice! Gorgeous setting … we’ll return for a glass of wine, perhaps.

   We had ate at Stripers for Mother's Day brunch. There was a great selection of options and the chef even took the time to make a vegan meal for a member of our party. Beautiful view and excellent food and service.

   I must have read your original Easter brunch ad incorrectly as I was expecting’brunch’. Only one egg entry was offered, consisting of a dry, cold quiche and soggy ‘French toast (?)’ that tasted like a super-sweet money bread. I requested a high top table when I made the reservation weeks prior but none apparently were available when I arrived. Not a good experience.

   We enjoyed brunch at Stripers. The service was quick. There were not many other diners when we sat down at 11 AM, so we received plenty of attention and our food and drinks arrived promptly. I enjoyed a Caesar salad to start. The croutons had a bit of a spicy kick, which added a nice touch. I had the shakshuka, which was filling, hearty, and tasty. My boyfriend had scrambled eggs with hash browns and bacon. The bacon was absolutely delicious! We both had cocktails - a mimosa and Bloody Mary. The Blood Mary was great and was a little spicy. The mimosa was good, as well. We really enjoyed our brunch and would definitely go back. The view of the water was a bonus to an already great dining experience.

    When dining at strippers we were thrilled to be in such a beautiful location on the water. The seating area was quite loud and echoed a bit. The service staff was incredible and very friendly. The menu and food on the other hand was a let down. The options themselves felt very scattered and the menu lacked cohesiveness and structure. There was anything from Japanese style french fries, to pho. Then curry muscles to pasta and sausage. This was a very odd and limited menu not offering any classic seafood dishes for being right on the water. Everything had an odd additive such as coconut green curry muscles or blistered peppers. Every time we asked for something it also seemed the kitchen didn’t have it. From honey for our whipped goat cheese to Parmesan for our pasta dish. This was a very odd and disappointing dining experience. Suggestions would be to curate a menu that highlights the area and the fresh quality seafood around and not try to be too fancy with pairing leave some of the remoulade for somewhere else. For the amount of money we spent this was not worth it.

    I chose stripers because the in line menu indicated seafood but maybe that’s the summer menu. There were four main course menu items. Each of us tried one. The salmon was undercooked, the chicken pot pie obviously was made of frozen vegetables and refrigerator dough on top. The acorn squash, while tasty was over priced. There was no bread or salad. For the money it was not worth it. The chef did take the salmon off the bill which we didn’t ask for but was nice of them to do that. The dress code said smart casual and there were people wearing jeans and leggings. Our waiter was excellent. Overall we were looking forward to a nice dinner at a nice restaurant and were underwhelmed. Would not go back.

    Menu is very limited and pricey even considering the area and other restaurants. Food was good but nothing memorable. Drinks were limited and the wine selection was small. We ate here because we stayed at the Breakwater. Otherwise we would have passed.

    Although the menu is limited, it is outstanding. The restaurant is relatively small and that gives the kitchen the option to do its job without stress. We met the executive chef Victoria and commented on her special entrees. An outstanding young lady! The only negative is that there is not a lot of soundproofing, so the noise from adjacent tables can be irritating. In our case we were next to a table of four whose conversation was reasonable, but they would break out in loud staccato laughter that was deafening. However, that’s just a roll of the dice.

    I really want to like this restaurant. But; it just seems very difficult to accomplish. Visited with another couple from out of town and wanted to have a nice experience this past weekend. When we arrived, all of the doors from the dining room to the outside sitting area by the river were open even thought no one was outside. When we asked f we could have the door closest to our table closed as it was starting to become chilly we were told “ no, we need to have access to our customers outside”. There were no customers outside and none showed up while we were there. Two of our party ordered the clam chowder. It came out lukewarm in temperature and was bland to the taste. I ordered a Sauvignon blanc and received a Cabernet Sauvignon. No problem. They were gracious in sending it back and replacing it. The prices for the entrees are not consistent with the quality of the food. There are better choices in the are

    Everything was just fine, no complaints, and you certainly can’t beat the beautiful sunset over the water— almost all tables inside & out have the scene every evening, weather permitting. The fish in my fish & chips was excellent! The french fries seemed like they’d been cooked earlier and re-heated—mushy. The coleslaw was bland, but okay. All that said, we plan returning periodically throughout the year. Take-out from here was a regular event during the first round of C-19 isolation. We like Stripers!

    My husband and I booked dinner with Stripers while in town for the weekend as part of an anniversary vacation. We were seated in a lovely indoor spot with floor-ceiling windows that can open up (like doors) to give us a fresh air outside-feeling experience. Lovely view of a lawn wit Adirondack chairs facing the river—great for boat and sunset watching. The menu, while small, offers a nice assortment of mostly seafood choices with a few non-seafood options. My husband order the steak, medium rare. Closer to medium but he still found it tasty. I ordered Lobster Scampi which was really tasty. A few pieces were a little tough, but generally quite good. The only low was with my husband’s drink—he asked for an “Old Fashioned”—a classic bourbon-based drink, and he asked that it be served on the rocks (with ice). The server asked if he wanted a specific bourbon brand, to which my husband replied “Yes—if there is no sur-charge added because of it” (this has happened elsewhere, based, I guess, on the higher cost of the special brand). The server hinted that there probably would be, so hubby decided to go with the house bourbon…..Great drink…but then the bill came…..$4 added because it was served on the rocks. :(. All in all, nice place….just buyer beware……Probably the kind of thing that often happens in tourist-heavy towns.

    Not as advertised! While this restaurant is on the water (river) and the view was good, it was not the high quality I had anticipated. The menu is limited and there was nothing special about the items offered. Service was good but not exceptional. The restaurant appears to be in need of a good cleaning or remodel. Might be part of the ‘on the water’ ambiance but not appreciated by us. Would recommend happy hour drinks on the Adirondack chairs, then dinner elsewhere.

    Can’t beat the outdoor setting at sunset. Though not suggested we decided to have cocktails and appetizers on the lawn, splendid. Staff and server basically disinterested and only somewhat attentive. No one asked if we enjoyed our meal, and it wasn’t crowded. Limited food selection in appetizers & entrees.
