Customer Reviews
The tomato bisque was incredible, and my girlfriend absolutely loved the crab cake and the beef Wellington. The eggplant parm was decent and the penne alla vodka that came with it was excellent, but as a vegetarian I’d probably choose a different entrée next time. Overall, the atmosphere and service were great, highlighted by an amazingly talented live performer. They really delivered a perfect Valentine’s Day dinner for us. I’d definitely go back.
This restaurant is marketed as "Casual Fine Dining" and it is a perfect description. The low-key atmosphere is laid-back but very attentive. The food is exquisite. We started with the Shrimp Cocktail. 3 plump, rosy pink juicy shrimp were served over ice with a tangy cocktail sauce and wedge of lemon. It was simply divine. My main course featured the Chicken Schnitzel. This crispy culinary marvel had a crunchy texture on the outside and a perfectly cooked tasty moist chicken on the inside. This is a wonderful restaurant to get a great meal while being treated like family.
Wonderful meal, wonderful experience. I was dining solo, which I do not do that often, and they were so accommodating and friendly. I sometimes think you can judge the quality of the service at a restaurant by how they treat a solo diner :)… the bartender Betty made me feel right at home and the owner Denise checked in at just the right time to ask how everything was. And they have hummingbird cake :) Highly recommend.
What a gem - this is a wonderful little restaurant in a very small Hudson River town. They have a nice selection, the chef is amazing. My favorite is the Spice Rubbed Pork Flat Iron steak. It is delicious and the potatoes that come with it are a treat. The lobster bisque is always delicious (although some have commented it is on the salty side - but not to me). The bartender makes a mean dirty martini and they have a better than average wine list compared to other areas. Overall - this is always a good bet, just make a reservation to be sure.
We were welcomed on Mother’s Day first time visit as had to cancel a later reservation another restaurant as family had to return to city. Wait staff was very friendly and accommodating, we all enjoyed our entrees, and I loved the rice pudding I took home with me. The chef (owner?) walked around to some of the tables acknowledging the guests and I would have liked to chat a minute but didn’t have the opportunity as we were being helped. I will return when we have more time to enjoy appetizers etc
