    There's nothing more special than Mother's Day brunch at the Kittle House Inn in Chappaqua, NY. We were seated in the bar area, where you could really feel the historic, cozy charm of the inn. Reservations filled quickly, so I felt lucky to secure a 12:00 noon table for four -- my wife, mother-in-law, son, and me. The brunch featured a prix-fixe menu, and honestly, everything sounded delicious. My son and I ordered Bloody Marys, while my wife and mother-in-law chose mimosas. I was starting to feel very sophisticated at that point. The croissants with assorted spreads and jams were outstanding. I started with the oysters, which were perfectly prepared and practically melted in your mouth. My wife was initially going to order the mixed salad, but I convinced her to try the burrata and prosciutto instead -- a great decision. My son ordered the spicy yellowfin tuna pizzetta, and my mother-in-law had the cream of artichoke soup. I sampled everything except the soup; I didn't think sticking my spoon into my mother-in-law's bowl was the best idea. Everything we tasted was excellent. The entrées were equally impressive. My salmon was unbelievably fresh, my son's filet mignon was tender and flavorful, and my wife's lobster eggs Benedict was rich and delicious. My mother-in-law enjoyed the spring vegetable quiche. Up until that point, everything had gone smoothly. Then service started to slip a bit. Desserts were taking an unusually long time, and no one had come over to ask whether we wanted coffee, espresso, cappuccino, or tea. When I finally requested coffee, the waiter didn't even ask what kind we wanted. The general manager came over and apologized for the delay, but I struggled to explain that the issue wasn't just the wait -- it was the lack of attention to detail and service standards you expect at a restaurant like the Kittle House, especially at this price point. I was happy to pay for a fine dining experience; I simply expected the service to match. What really caught me off guard was when he responded by asking, "Do you work in restaurants?" I found that somewhat offensive, as if my opinion needed credentials to be valid. Ironically, I actually have 30 years of hospitality experience, including work at Forbes-rated properties. To their credit, the waiter later apologized, and they removed the coffee charge from the bill. Despite the service hiccup, I would absolutely return. It honestly seemed like they were understaffed, with too few experienced servers and too much reliance on bus staff trying to keep up with a very busy holiday crowd.

    I was really excited to get back to Kittle House after they reopened, for a holiday meal. We started with the bluefin tuna sushi pizzetta and the beet salad, both were very flavorful. The tuna was pretty spicy and the beet salad had a lot of fresh fruit in addition to being perfectly dressed. For main course we split the ribeye which came with potatoes au gratin, creamed spinach and gravy. The ribeye was perfectly cooked and delicious. We ended the dinner with the Kittle Kat dessert, always a great choice. Service was a little slow, it seemed like the kitchen was still getting used to being open, but the wait staff was attentive and friendly to make up for it. After speaking with our waiter (who was fantastic) I hear there are more additions and changes coming, but we had a great meal. Looking forward to going back in a few months and seeing what else is new.

    A former corporate wine merchant, pairing wine with food is a passion for us. and this amazing Farm to Table restaurant constructed in 1790 with the 3rd best rated wine cellar in America. I ordered a dozen roses and had them displayed on our table ahead of arriving. Speaking with the sommelier, I was looking for a 94 Bordeaux, Merlot or something that can stand up to a Steak but not become too bitter with fish. He came up with a 94 Leonetti Cellar Merlot, from the Walla Walla Valley. It was not in the catalog so the manager ask if we would pay a very reasonable price for what is an amazing bottle of wine. We shared a glass with the manager and sommelier, Changed the creamed spinach to a risotto to better partner with the steak and my wife had the Hiddenfjord Organic Scottish Salmon. With so much going on, I forgot pictures. After talking with the Manager and Sommelier, they gave us a tour of the wine cellar and showed us bottles over a hundred years old. They also have a table for ten in the wine cellar area where you can have different courses with wine pairings. Crabtree's Kittle house is in our rotation. Under new ownership there is a complete kitchen remodel going on the the kitchen is outside under a tent. The food was still great and presented well, but the full menu was not in play. Look forward to returning an experience the vision of new ownership

    Village Social is a really nice restaurant and a great spot to enjoy a meal or stop in for a drink…read more The outdoor seating is especially nice when the weather is good. The menu is interesting and has a great variety of options, including salads, appetizers, bowls, handhelds, and more. I ordered the homemade veggie burger with a salad, and it was very good! The indoor seating area was a little too dark, which made it difficult to see the menu. Luckily, I was already pretty familiar with it! The service was also great--friendly and attentive. Overall, Village Social is a great local spot, and I would definitely come back!

A Honeyspot IPA and the Bangkok Basil Beef Rice Bowl. The Bowl was served piping hot. It was delicious and totally hit the spot . Service was very good. We were seated immediately. The restaurant was crowded but there were a few empty tables. I suppose we could have sat at the bar as it wasn't crowded there at all. The bowl was served quickly. The waiter was attentive but didn't hover. Village Social Kitchen & Bar is very inviting. A rustic, farmhouse vibe w/ semi opening kitchen. Lots of family but not a 'kids' place. I'd come here more if I lived closer. I'd love to try more things on the menu.

Three of us also ordered the french onion soup, which they reportedly said wasn't very good, not very flavorful and somewhat sour. I then ordered the corned beef rueben sandwich and the truffle honey flatbread. The reuben was great and the fries were delicious, but I wasn't too impressed by the flatbread. It needed more flavor and lacked honey. My brother ordered a burger which he really enjoyed, although it came on an english muffin which he wasn't a big fan of. My dad really enjoyed his salad as well. For desert we split the sticky toffee cake which was very yummy and sweet. Our server was wonderful and came to check on multiple times. The manager was also very friendly and wonderful to talk with! They had plenty of handicap parking and an elevator on the ground floor which was perfect for my grandmother who wasn't sure she could walk up all the stairs. The interior is very nice, but we were disappointed to see how loud it was inside. They are very accommodating for big groups and even have an event space on the third floor, but we found it was just too loud for our party.
