Cavallario's Steak & Seafood

We were happy to find Cavallario's open on October 4th at 8 p.m., since so many other places had already closed for the season (we had no idea about "the season" before visiting 1,000 Islands area) or had closed very early evening. We ordered wine (decent selection), blue cheese stuffed filet, and the steak maison. They serve bread coated with a garlic butter topping, which, while it is a bit sloppy to cut and serve, was delicious! Our filets were tender, cooked to perfection (medium... 'raw' and cool in the middle) and were excellent cuts of meat. I highly recommend if you are in the area. They play excellent music to set up a nice romantic dining experience. The reason I am giving it a 4, is because of the lighting. It was incredibly bright and disturbed the ambiance, which was a real shortcoming of an otherwise excellent dinner.

Came here during the Pirate Weekend festivities and it was busy!! We had drinks and appetizers which were very good!! The staff was very professional even though it was crazy. We went into the bar after adding our names to the wait list and found seats immediately so we ate there and enjoyed watching all the people. All apps were excellent choices from the menu. We will definitely be back while visiting the area!

We stopped at Cavallario's on our last night in A-bay on October 4th. The restaurant was amazing, clean, welcoming and appropriately set for large or small dining parties. We were greeted and given our choice of inside or outside dining. We chose outside as it was still warm and there was live music being set up. For an appetizer we went with the French onion soup and Prime Rib, Provolone & Hot Pepper Crispy Rolls. Both were spectacular. We chose hard seltzer for our drinks. For the main course we went with the filet and the 14oz Rib eye. The steaks were tasty, but not exceptional. I chalk this up to it being the end of the season and they were running out of stock. For dessert we went with the only available option, carrot cake. Which while good was not what I had originally wanted. Overall, the service was exceptional, the food was good and the atmosphere was great. We'll be back next season to give them another try.

We came here on vacation with family and had never heard anything about Cavallarios before. It was a great decision! We had 6 in our party, we made a reservation and got seated within a few minutes of arrival. The outside patio looked beautiful and cozy, but being slightly off season (September), we sat inside. The decor inside isnt anything special and it is a little cramped, but not so bad that you are elbowing the next table. The staff was phenomenal, we had at least 3 staff, possibly more, attending our group-the main server was consistent and she kept up with all of our restrictions and odd requests flawlessly (onion allergy, pregnant, etc). She also had several other staff assisting with things such as bringing out the food, keeping our water glasses full, clearing plates as soon as they were done. We never had a plate on the table longer than it needed to be. Now let's discuss the food. Wow. Its a bit on the pricey side, but its worth it! We were all in heaven with our meals and nobody regretted a bite. Highlights: I am 5 months pregnant and have been having a lot of trouble finding foods that I can eat without getting sick, but I had the Mahi Mahi with pineapple and mango salsa and I havent eaten a full meal that quickly in months! It was perfectly cooked, had such a beautiful and balanced flavor, and was so satisfying. My sister had the orange duck and we were all obsessed with that sauce and were passing the bowl of it around the table to taste it. She does not normally eat full meals, but also cleaned her plate. The sweet orange sauce balanced the flavor of the duck, she loved the crispy skin on the meat. I ended up taking some of her sauce and mixing it into my rice after I ran out of my own salsa and it was such a tasty few bites. Everyone else in the family were thrilled with their meals, but those were the standouts that we all just had to taste. Overall, we were very pleased and would be happy to visit Cavallarios again.

This is our main place to dine when we go to ABay. We have tried most of the other restaurants in town in the many years we have been going to the islands and this is our constant we keep going back to and stick with every time. The atmosphere is great, the staff is attentive and friendly and always accommodating, and the food is always fantastic. After dinner we usually venture to the outside bar and listen to music. It’s a great time and one of our favorite places.

Very high end restaurant in the heart of Alexandria Bay! It's a little high in the price range but I think it's worth it. The food is so delicious!! My mashed potatoes tasted like it's made from scratch and not from a can! My calamari was perfect! Nice and crisp! My steak was nice and juicy!! I love them medium rare and it was!! The customer service was friendly and courteous ! They made me and my family felt like we belong! They didn't judge us by how we looked. They treated us like proper customers. We appreciated that. I'll probably come back again once I saved some $$$$!

Another amazing visit to Cavallario’s, my must go to when visiting ABay! The ambiance alone is worth a visit! Both the outdoor bar and patio and indoor bar and restaurant area are trendy and give off the vibe of upscale dining. The knight from past eras still overseeing the indoor seating is reminiscent of earlier times for the establishment. I ordered the Steak Maison which was cooked to perfection of medium rare, the Bernaise sauce brings it up a notch with some crab shredded on top. Only the Alaskan crab topping was questionable as it was shredded and not the texture of authentic Alaskan crab but was still delicious. Mashed potatoes were scrumptious and fresh hot bread with butter. No dipping oil for the bread and salad is now a separate but with the cost of food rising and the economy in general that is understandable. Amazing food and great service at the bar! I stopped back Sunday and scored a high top on the patio with an amazing view of the stage. I ordered another favorite the prime rib, provolone, and pepper in an egg roll with a tangy, spicy dipping sauce! The patio is packed and service is slower but that’s what you would expect at the most popular restaurant in town! I hope to be back this season, I’m intrigued by the stuffed shrimp entree! Visited Memorial Day weekend. We beat the rush so seated immediately. I get steak Maison every visit it’s my favorite and on my must have list every visit to ABay! Unfortunately this visit was a miss. I ordered the steak Maison medium rare with mushrooms on the side and a pomegranate martini. Martini was refreshing perfect Pom a bit sweet. Service was prompt even with the dinner crowd picking up. Upon delivery the steak Maison was served with mushrooms on the side but also mushrooms on top with Bernaise sauce over the mushrooms and if possible even less crab than last visit. I had to scrape off the mushrooms myself which receded the toppings. Bernaise sauce was replenished but the few shavings of crab were lost in the mess. Once I cut in to the medallion it was extremely rare. I ate half and it was not the meal I am usually over the moon for. Disappointed but still ok. I don’t recall either of the two servers asking how my meal was or offering to refresh drinks. They did get to go containers promptly. I always enjoy the atmosphere here, I will try again. I think I’ll go a different direction with my meal choice next visit.

We thought we were walking into a 1970s eatery and expected to see Dirk Diggler but the place was updated and had great food and service. The escargot was cooked perfectly along with the scallops. The calamari was good but did not expect a spicy sauce. Service “bartender” was great!
