The Yacht Club Offers Waterfront Dining in Edgewater

A new seafood restaurant and bar is open in Edgewater, offering casual dining in a relaxing atmosphere. It’s hard to miss The Yacht Club along the Edgewater Commons Shopping Center pier, with its white lighthouse-shaped façade. In terms of location, locals will recall the space previously housing Joe’s Crab Shack.

However, the 13,000-square foot interior is now totally different. It seats 120 in the main dining room; which boasts olive green walls, Greece-imported gold accented furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows. In addition, the dining room overlooks a deck with water views from all sides. Meanwhile, the private upstairs dining room at The Yacht Club seats 150. Finally, their marble bar can seat another 20, while their lounge with a view seats yet another 30.

The Yacht Club is All About Dinner With a View

But we haven’t even gotten to the outdoor deck yet; this section seats 60 – rain or shine — and offers views of both the Hudson River and Manhattan. “The outdoor setting was designed to resemble a waterfront bar in Europe, from the island-chic light fixtures to the sliding floor to ceiling doors which easily open and close weather permitting,” says The Yacht Club Owner Eliana Stefanitsis; her family also runs the Hudson River Group, which owns Molos in Weehawken .

Like many other businesses, COVID-19 caused a delay in operation. Eliana’s original plan was to open The Yacht Club in April, but wound up waiting until August instead. “We aren’t taking reservations because we want to encourage people to come eat, enjoy the space, and not have to plan in advance,” she says. Likewise, their plan is to accommodate both “people who want to hang out at the bar and enjoy a craft cocktail or families who want to go out to eat.”

Seafood by the Sea

The Yacht Club serves American seafood dishes, courtesy of Executive Chef Gregory Zapantis. (Fans of the Hudson River Group will recognize that name from Molos.) To further diversify the menu, the restaurant also employs Sushi Chef Steve Song (previously from Masa in New York City).

As for their signature dishes, The Yacht Club specializes in lobster. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that lobster rolls and the lobster BLT sandwich are big hits. Of course, you can also find salads, tacos, and burgers on the menu. Meanwhile, the full bar menu includes frozen drinks. Their signature cocktail is the Grapefruit Botanical Spritz, with Ketel One grapefruit juice, Aperol liqueur, and club soda.

They also offer gluten-free items such as wild salmon and skirt steak. Eliana points out that vegetarian items are limited for the moment, but they plan to expand on this soon. For now, they can accommodate vegetarian meals by request.

You can visit The Yacht Club at 541 River Rd in Edgewater. For hours, their full menu, and other details, search for The Yacht Club online.

The Yacht Club: An Expansive Seafood Restaurant in Edgewater

Guests will know that they’ve arrived at Edgewater’s newest seafood   restaurant when they see the lighthouse-shaped facade. From Surf and turf to an impressive sushi menu and a large indoor and outdoor space, The Yacht Club offers a nautical experience in a casual but chic environment. Read on to learn about this gem in Edgewater.

The Background

The Yacht club opened its doors on August 26th, 2020. The Executive Chef, Gregory Zapantis, has received many accolades, and is known for his elevated take on Greek cuisine, and is also the Chef at Molos in Weehawken {a local fav}. Gregory Zapantis was also the first culinary ambassador to Greece in North America.

Guests can find popular American seafood dishes like Maine and Connecticut Lobster Rolls, Maryland Crab Cakes, and Popcorn Shrimp. The outside bar overlooks the Hudson River serves up an array of frozen cocktails and specialty drinks. Wine by the glass and bottle is available as well as beer, cider, mocktails, and smoothies.

From the raw bar, patrons can order a half dozen oysters {blue point, Beausoleil, Wellfleet, raspberry point, malpeque, Fannie bay, clams served with cocktail sauce & horseradish, a shrimp cocktail, or a seafood tower {10 oysters, 3 clams, 4 mussels, 4 crawfish, 3 shrimp, add ½ or 1 lobster}.

For appetizers, patrons can start with a classic Cesar, frisée calamari {frisée, cremini & shiitake mushrooms}, lobster bisque soup, New England clam chowder, popcorn shrimp, or crab cake.

For something light that still packs a punch, opt for the tacos, either the shrimp taco, snapper taco, or shredded chicken taco.

For something more filling, the restaurant offers a crab cake burger, fried filet of sole sandwich, lobster claw BLT, and a beef burger. The tender “Famous Lobster Roll” is a must-try on the menu {beer-battered cod with fries and coleslaw}. Pasta lovers, fret not, linguine with clams is available and the clams are cooked just right.

What would a seafood restaurant be without delicious seafood dishes? Grilled branzino, grilled salmon, sea bream, sea scallops, and fried shrimp are just some of the options. For meat lovers, a skirt steak is on hand.

Any of the sides would pair well with one of the entrees, including the creamy lobster mac and cheese, corn on the cob, sea salt fries, sweet potato fries, and homemade coleslaw.

For the last course, what is savory without a little sweet? Chocolate cake, New York strawberry cheesecake {of course}, creme brulee, assorted ice creams, and sorbets are all options to end your meal on a gratifying note.

The Experience

If you’re looking for a venue to celebrate your next socially-distanced party, look no further. Arcon Design was tapped to transform the spacious 13,000 square foot restaurant. When you dine at The Yacht Club, it feels like you’re on vacation, or at least not in Hudson County. The entrance of the restaurant boasts an expansive marble bar with seating for 20, side by side with a chic lounge area for up to 30 people with the backdrop of the Hudson.

The floor to ceiling windows in the main dining room bring in ample natural light and it overlooks a large deck. The olive green walls and gold accents create the perfect layout for any celebration. Some of the furniture was even imported from Greece.

The outdoor dining area is available rain or shine for up to 60 guests. The main dining room inside the restaurant seats 120 guests, and the venue boasts a private dining room upstairs for up to 150 guests in addition to lounge and bar seating in the front of the restaurant for 50.

The Yacht Club, casual seafood restaurant with stunning skyline views, to open in Edgewater

At the new Yacht Club in Edgewater, you could almost imagine you’re at a picturesque lighthouse in Maine or Nantucket, if it weren’t for the sweeping view of Manhattan just across the water.

The relaxed seafood restaurant — the façade is a stout, white lighthouse — is set to open in the former Joe’s Crab Shack location on Aug. 26. It’s owned by Eliana Stefanitsis, whose family runs the Hudson River Restaurant Group that owns Molos in Weehawken.

“The Yacht Club has more casual, American seafood, as opposed to Molos which serves Mediterranean fine dining,” said Stefanitsis.

On the menu are Maine and Connecticut lobster rolls (the kind with mayo and the kind with butter, respectively), Maryland crab cakes, popcorn shrimp, lobster claw BLTs, oysters and sushi.

For drinks, the outside bar serves up wine by the glass and bottle, beer, cider, mocktails and smoothies.

Executive Chef Gregory Zapantis – a Greek chef who also worked at Molos – will oversee the kitchen. He was inducted into the Hellenic Chef’s Club for Greek chefs in 2011 and was the club’s first culinary ambassador to Greece in North America.

Dining: These 8 restaurants have North Jersey's most stunning outdoor dining areas

The Yacht Club also brought on Steve Song as the sushi chef. A graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education, he has worked at Masa, ABC Kitchen, DOMODOMO (all in NYC) and Sheli’s in the Square in Monsey.

“It’s an American place, but we’re trying to cultivate all different areas of seafood, which is why we specifically wanted a sushi chef” said Stefanitsis.

The 13,000-square-foot space seats 120 in the main dining room, 150 in the private upstairs dining room, 20 people at the bar, 30 people in the lounge, and 60 on the outdoor deck.

Right now, because of the ban on indoor dining, only the latter is open. But even if indoor dining were allowed, you’d probably want to sit on the deck, which opens up to the Hudson and to views of Manhattan.

Indoors, the design indoors features a wide marble bar, floor-to-ceiling windows in the main dining room, olive green walls and gold accented furniture imported from Greece.

Stefanitsis hopes to make guests feel like they are at a breezy, modern resort when dining at The Yacht Club.

The Yacht Club is located at 541 River Road, Edgewater.

Here’s what you need to know! The 13,000-square-foot space gives off some serious vacation vibes. Located on the pier of the Edgewater Commons Shopping Center, this eatery is brought to you by The Hudson River Hospitality Group, owners of Molos in Weehawken. Executive chef Gregory Zapantis is a culinary ambassador for Greek cuisine and has been a member of the prestigious Hellenic Chef’s Club since 2011.

Sushi Chef Steve Song apprenticed under Chef Masa Takayama at Masa in NYC. Masa is one of New York’s most expensive, and most exquisite, sushi restaurants. It is a 3-star Michelin eatery with exceptional cuisine. These talented chefs come together to create a menu of popular American seafood dishes including Maine and Connecticut Lobster Rolls, Maryland Crab Cakes, a Lobster Claw BLT, Popcorn Shrimp, and hand-rolled sushi made to order.  There will also be a dedicated oyster shucking area at the bar.

Though I have not been able to dine here yet (it just opened this week), delectable menu items that appeal to me include shrimp tacos, linguine with clam sauce, lobster mac n’ cheese, skirt steak with sweet potato fries, and the grass-fed beef burger with aged cheddar. At the bar, you’ll find sangria and specialty cocktails, flavored martinis, cider, draft beer, and wine. Everything is surprisingly affordable! Learn more and find their menu here .

36 New Jersey Waterfront Restaurants (2023 Guide)

From the Hudson River to the Atlantic Ocean, nothing beats a New Jersey restaurant with waterfront views. And it’s no secret these spectacular sights are best taken in with a standout meal. Or at the very least, a drink in hand. From Mediterranean to modern American cuisine, these establishments provide one-of-a-kind access to our state’s best skylines, beaches, bridges and more. If you’re looking for a scenic experience, no matter the occasion, here’s our guide to waterfront restaurants in New Jersey.

North Jersey Waterfront Restaurants

Andre’s lakeside – sparta, nj.

Set on Seneca Lake in Sussex County, the location of Andre’s is what makes it especially magical. This longstanding restaurant in Sparta has been effortlessly melding lakeside eats with a seasonal, farm-to-table menu for over two decades. The space blends ease and elegance while boasting incredible waterfront views no matter what time of year you visit. 

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Andre’s Lakeside Dining (@andreslakeside)

Battello – Jersey City, NJ

Located within Jersey City’s Newport community, Battello is beautiful for weekend brunch but you get the best payoff if you dine during sunset. This elevated restaurant boasts excellent vistas of the Hudson waterfront, in addition to a contemporary menu that merges Italian flavors with seafood. If you can’t score seats on the patio, retractable glass walls in the dining room make you feel like you’re still eating al fresco.

Blue Eyes – Hoboken, NJ

Also overlooking the Hudson, this Italian spot sets the stage for a relaxing waterfront meal. Blue Eyes is best known for its brick-oven dishes and Napoletana pizza. The restaurant’s name takes after Hoboken’s Frank Sinatra—as if it wasn’t obvious. During the spring and summer months, Blue Eyes’ outdoor dining setup on Sinatra Dr. is not one to miss. Seating is first-come, first-served.

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Blue Eyes Hoboken 💙 (@blueeyeshoboken)

Chart House – Weehawken, NJ

If you’re trying to eat outside and near the water in Weehawken, the answer is almost always Chart House . This upscale restaurant sits on Lincoln Harbor Pier and overlooks the New York City skyline. Enjoy unspoiled Manhattan views on the outdoor patio or through floor-to-ceiling windows. Discerning diners shouldn’t skip happy hour here. Catch food and drink specials Monday through Friday from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

De Novo – Edgewater, NJ

This European pub-inspired restaurant stands out with its unobstructed views of the New York City skyline and George Washington Bridge. If it’s available, De Novo’s outdoor seating should be your go-to. However, the indoor dining room provides just as breathtaking waterfront views in addition to a light and airy atmosphere.

Haven – Edgewater, NJ

Back in 2016, Haven in Edgewater was named as one of “The World’s Most Spectacular Waterfront Restaurants” by Architectural Digest. With that type of street cred, it’s no wonder they made our list of the best waterfront restaurants in New Jersey. Haven specializes in modern New American cuisine. Stop by for lunch, dinner, happy hour, or weekend brunch with the option of a prix fixe menu. 

Haven | Photo via Haven

Hudson & Co – Jersey City, NJ

First and foremost, you visit Hudson & Co. for the views. The 12,000-square-foot space is a hard-to-miss dining destination in Jersey City’s Harborside. The 4,000-square-foot outdoor terrace overlooks NYC and lures visitors in droves to this nautical gastropub. All of that, thankfully, is backed by great cocktails and a seafood-heavy menu. 

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Hudson & Co. Bar & Grill | Jersey City, NJ (@hudsonandconj)

Lokal – Jersey City, NJ

Unbeatable views of the Manhattan skyline, a solid menu with global small plates and chill vibes are three reasons to beeline it to Lokal . Oh, and don’t forget about the dreamy craft cocktails. This waterfront spot is perfect for happy hour or late-night bites and has also secured itself as a special occasion destination. The interior has a warm, industrial feel to it with expansive windows that let you look out over the Hudson.

Maritime Parc – Jersey City, NJ

If you’re fortunate enough to visit Maritime Parc during patio season, you’ll have access to split-level waterfront views of the Hudson. From inside the dining room, each table will still encounter equally as impressive sites, minus the sea breeze. The menu here ​​takes cues from its Liberty Landing Marina location with a heavy emphasis on coastal cuisine. 

McLoone’s Boathouse – West Orange, NJ

McLoone’s Boathouse does reservoir views like no other. This waterside destination in West Orange is the perfect switcheroo if you’ve had your fill of selfies with a skyline backdrop. It’s situated within the South Mountain Recreation Complex, overlooking the South Reservoir. On the outdoor stone patio, there’s seating for up to 100 guests. Their Sunday buffet brunch is a popular one amongst locals. It’s $35 for adults and $17 for children ages three to 11.

Molos – Weehawken, NJ

If you’re in the mood for Greek-inspired eats, it’s probably best that you indulge right on the water. In New Jersey, that means getting a table at Molos restaurant so that you can at least pretend your waterfront views are of the Mediterranean Sea. Here, expect contemporary seafood dishes, a local fish market and Greek specialties. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer a bright, chic atmosphere and panoramic vistas of Manhattan.

Pier 115 – Edgewater, NJ

Drift away along the west bank of the Hudson River with all the comforts of land at Pier 115 . A modern, American gastropub, this restaurant offers magnificent waterfront views for both indoor and outdoor seating. Guests can enjoy an expansive 115 beers on tap while gazing over at the New York City skyline. And, if you’re dressing to impress, the venue enforces a dress code after 5 p.m., letting guests enjoy food with flair.  

Son Cubano – West New York, NJ

Travel back to the glamor and fun of 1950s Cuba through the elegant ambiance of Son Cubano’s restaurant. With cultural influences from Cuban cuisine and decor, guests can dine along the Hudson River and feel like a true Hollywood celebrity. The stylish supper club also offers live music, adding rhythm to your reservation. At night, the views add an extra edge to your dining as the New York City skyline illuminates the venue. 

Surf City – Jersey City, NJ

If you’re searching for a dose of tropical vacation vibes, Surf City’s waterfront bar is the perfect destination. Overlooking Manhattan and Liberty Island, this restaurant lets its patrons coast through the summer with “Key West attitude and New York latitude.” Sip exotic cocktails at community tables, recline under the palm trees, or cast your eyes to wind sails over the harbor.
