Civile's ?

Rather small. Can only handle just a few boats at time. As you are approaching the docks there are rocks that submerge at high tide which would not be good for the boat. With the draft of your boat I would be pretty leery of docking there. The Waterside restaurant at Haverstraw marina is only a mile further and a much easier approach.
Yeah, I saw the rocks on the chart, I also looked at the tides for Sunday, we would be there at low tide. The Waterside restaurant, is that The Hudson Water Club? I just called them, they are booked up for Sunday. Thanks for the info. Any other dock-n-dine restaurants in the area?

It's a shame, as it's a great restaurant, and Tommy Civile is a generous host. Not sure if you can walk there from the marina just to the south (actually, don't know if the marina to the south has a transient dock), but definitely see if you try the restaurant sometime this season...
Other than Hsverstraw, I think you'd have to head north to Newburgh (Torches, etc) for other dock-n-dines. I haven't checked whether Kelly's new restaurant in Yonkers is "dockable" yet.

There is "The Boat House" in Ossining but it has very limited docking. Great Restaurant.
I think Charles Point in Peekskill is still open, not sure.
I think you can still get to "Another Point of View" in Verplank via Viking boat yard, not sure.

Great, thanks for all the info. I guess I'll be busy this summer trying all these places. The Boathouse said they could fit us in after 5, a little late (it's a school night) but it might work. I actually found another place, Striped Bass, I was able to make reservations there. Anybody know anything about that place.

When you go to the Striped Bass, be sure to fill out the card with your birthday. They will send you a card every year for a free dinner during the month of your birthday.
Civiles has a 20% coupon in this months Boating on the Hudson. They also have one or two nights where it is BYOB - but you can't combine the two offers.

We attempted to go. But never made it... Here's what happened.
We got to the boat at low tide, The boat was floating fine in the slip and I knew they had dredged over the winter, so I thought all would be good. We pull out of the slip, head down the fairway and start kicking up a lot of mud. We are just about in the river so I figure I'll just keep going. It was pretty windy that day, now they tell me the wind was blowing all the water out of the marina. So between that and low tide there was not enough water.
Out in the river I throttled up, and it didn't sound right. I go down and check the strainers - plugged with mud. I couldn't even pull the baskets out. I had to shop-vac the mud out first. Got the port side cleaned out and running good, so we are idling along on one engine, while I am trying to clean the other. Turns out the intake hose was all plugged up also, I tried opening the sea cock with the strainer open and got nothing. I started flushing the line out with a garden hose, I almost got it when all of a sudden the starboard shaft seal started smoking and then seized to the shaft, and then ripped free from the shaft log. Water then started pouring in from around the shaft. At that point I dropped the anchor and got out the rescue tape, and sealed up the leak. That stuff is great to have on board.
I think what happend is the shaft seal cooling water lines were also plugged and from idling along on the port engine, with the starboard spinning from the movement, the shaft seal overheated. I have a crossover line that connects the two seals, but that must have been plugged.
At this point there was no continuing, we got sea-towed back to the marina, and went to a local restaraunt for Mothers Day Dinner.
One of these days though we will make it there.
