The Sackets Boathouse

The Sackets Boathouse is a historic waterfront restaurant tucked into the charming village of Sackets Harbor on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario. Housed in a 1940s boathouse that once stored and moored boats, the venue retains original timber beams and a breezy deck that frames panoramic views of the harbor, the St. Lawrence River channel and the Adirondack skyline. Open for the 2026 season, the restaurant welcomes guests Monday through Saturday from 11:30 am, with a later Sunday brunch beginning at 9:00 am, while Tuesdays remain closed. Diners can enjoy a menu built around locally caught Lake Ontario fish, succulent shellfish, and classic New York upstate seafood staples such as lobster‑rolls, pan‑seared trout, and the house‑made Sackets Harbor clam chowder. The bar offers a signature cocktail, the “Harbor Breeze,” crafted with locally distilled gin, fresh citrus, and a dash of rosemary‑infused simple syrup. The interior blends reclaimed wood, nautical accents, and large windows that let the sunrise illuminate the dining room, creating a relaxed yet refined atmosphere perfect for families, couples, and business lunches. Private parties and waterfront events can be booked through the dedicated events line (315‑486‑9318) or via email at events@thesacketsboathouse.com, with customizable menus and exclusive dock access. With moderate price points, attentive service, and a commitment to seasonal, sustainable seafood, The Sackets Boathouse delivers a uniquely local dining experience that celebrates the maritime heritage of Sackets Harbor.
