Fox Island Seafood House
The Fox Island Fish House overlooks the Byram River on the eastern side of Westchester County.

The atmosphere is casual, but there is also space for those who wish to book larger, formal parties. Appetizers include a crispy tuna flatbread with wasabi mascarpone, and entrees include a porcini dusted hake, Colorado Springs striped bass and a crispy skinned Scottish salmon. There is also a raw bar, and chicken and braised short ribs are available for meat lovers as well.

Just south of the Byram River is Seaside Johnnies, which overlooks Oakland Beach and the Long Island Sound in Rye. Seaside Johnnies is a casual restaurant and bar that has a patio for those who wish to catch some rays while enjoying conch fritters, fried calamari or buckets of Maine steamers. At night the atmosphere becomes even livelier with patrons on their way to and from the boardwalk and the adjacent Playland amusement park.
