    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

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed not only by the Inn's charm and character but also by the warmth and hospitality of its owner. Every room has been thoughtfully and beautifully decorated, the service is exceptional, and the food is delicious. We quickly felt less like guests and more like part of the family. One of the highlights of our stay was spending time with the owner, learning about the Inn's fascinating history and hearing firsthand about the dedication and craftsmanship that went into restoring this remarkable home. Walking into the Brinckerhoff Inn feels like stepping back in time. This beautifully restored 300-year-old house is a true treasure, lovingly preserved while maintaining all the comforts of a welcoming retreat. Located in the historic town of Fishkill, the Inn sits at the heart of a region rich in American heritage, making the experience even more special. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. If you're searching for a charming, historic, and unforgettable place to stay in the Hudson Valley, the Brinckerhoff Inn is the perfect choice. You won't be disappointed.
