With summer coming to a close (say it isn’t so!), there’s still time to soak up some sun and enjoy one of the season’s best eats—lobster rolls!—with a visit to The Yacht Club, a newly opened restaurant and oyster bar situated right on the pier of the Edgewater Commons Shopping Center.
Showcasing a lighthouse-shaped facade and wondrous wraparound views of the Hudson River and the New York City skyline, this is one club where everyone is welcome. Executive Chef Gregory Zapantis, who also helms the kitchen at the Club’s sister restaurant, Molos, has put together a menu that’s heavy on seafood favorites, surf and turf specialties, super-fresh sushi and sashimi (compliments of Sushi Chef Steve Song, a veteran of NYC’s Michelin-starred Masa), and those aforementioned oysters.
Dive into an ocean of Maine- and Connecticut-style lobster rolls, Maryland crab cakes, a lobster claw BLT, popcorn shrimp, rolled sushi, fresh oysters, and more, all at beyond reasonable prices. While there’s no lifeguard on duty, there is a terrific team of restaurant professionals at the ready to make your dining excursion memorable.
Permission to come aboard is, for now, limited to 60 outdoor seats (all perfectly socially distanced), but there’s nearly 13,000 square feet of ship-shape space—including a 120-seat indoor dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows and an upstairs private dining area that can host up to 150—just waiting to be unveiled.
