VEGAN DINNER and a good dinner for all…read more Party of 6, we came for dinner after a busy Saturday at the Sheep and Wool Festival. We had a reservation and were seated with no wait. It's a very comfortable space and not noisy, so we were able to talk. As a vegan, I rarely get a coherent meal at a restaurant. So this was a pleasant surprise. Two of our six ordered and enjoyed the vegan Autumn Bowl of lentils with root vegetables. We enjoyed the crispy artichokes. Well executed. The sauce was spicy and enjoyed. Our party enjoyed Willow Salmon, with fennel orange salad: delish!; Pan Seared Trout was enjoyed; The duck breast was enjoyed. We got a bottle of red wine and some cocktails. All good . I had a strawberry margarita . We all had a good meal and a good time. Considering that the restaurant was not full, we felt the service was Slow. All of the staff were very nice. Bathroom was clean. Parking lot under the facility is large and adequate. Especially nice in rain and cold. A note about the Autumn Bowl: It's priced at $34 (all inexpensive components: lentils, carrots, squash), while the Mirbeau Burger (8 Oz CAB expensive Beef with bun, cheese, onions, portobello mushrooms, bordelaise, field greens, and fries) is priced at only $28! Also, the vegan Gelato is $3 more expensive than the regular Gelato. Why? The pricing doesn't make sense, and I think it should be re-evaluated. I'm grateful & appreciative for the vegan options. It's not easy to find a coherent vegan meal in Rhinebeck and this is one of the best, in a very comfortable space. Helpful?

We recently celebrated a birthday for my brotha-from-anotha-motha, Weez, and the experience was nothing short of legendary. ​The Starters ​We kicked things off with a duo of appetizers that set a high bar for the rest of the night: ​Beet and Burrata: Honestly, the flavors here were out of this world. The creaminess of the burrata paired with the earthy sweetness of the beets was a masterclass in balance. ​Tuna Tartare: Incredibly fresh and delicious. It's exactly what you want a tartare to be--clean, vibrant, and perfectly prepared. ​The Main Event ​The entrees arrived, and the table went silent (which is how you know the food is good). ​Shortribs: These were untouchable. They were incredibly moist, fell off the bone, and the plating was absolutely beautiful. ​The Schnitzel: This was the real deal. It was prepared with such heart that it would literally make my grandmother cry. ​Scallops: Perfectly cooked and served alongside a purple potato puree that was as visually stunning as it was tasty. ​Herb Butter Steak: A beautifully seasoned cut of meat that proved sometimes the classics, when done right, are unbeatable. ​The Grand Finale ​While everything was elite, the Pear and Raisin Bread Pudding was the undisputed star of the show. It's the kind of dessert you'll be thinking about for weeks. Do not leave without ordering this. ​The Vibe & Service ​The "dinner experience" here extends well beyond the plate. The mixologist is a true artist; the drinks aren't just beverages, they are a fundamental part of the meal's choreography. ​A massive thank you to Sergia for the outstanding service. Servers were attentive, deeply knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure Weez's birthday dinner was one for the books. ​Bottom line: If you want a meal that feels like a celebration, this is the place.

We found this restaurant by searching google for a highly rated restaurant near where we were…read morestaying in Hyde Park. We booked dinner for my daughter's birthday and chose a Sunday specifically so we could try the fried chicken which is only served on Sundays. The restaurant is located in a house in a mostly residential area, with a large parking lot across the street. We had a reservation and were greeted and seated immediately in one of the booths with glass dividers on 3 sides - it felt almost like being inside a terrarium. The overall atmosphere is warm and cozy - leaning towards a modernized Victorian feel with lots of dark wood and dark furnishings. This would be a nice place to take a date if you're looking for an intimate atmosphere. Our party all ordered the fried chicken - which, really, we could have split one and just added some appetizers to feed all three of us. There is easily half a chicken on each plate. The chicken was super crispy, not greasy at all and still moist inside, truly excellent! Sadly the sides of mashed potatoes and coleslaw were just average at best. The mashed potatoes in particular were disappointingly tasteless and slightly lumpy which cost the dish a star in our ratings. We opted just to share an apple tarte tatin for dessert and the staff dressed it up with a birthday candle for us. Service was unobtrusive to the point where we had to flag down a waiter for more water. Overall, a good but not amazing meal.

Loved that there were kids there :-) The service and food were equally excellent. Our waitress was kind and attentive, and our drinks arrived quickly.

Of course we cleaned up and walked over and were even more thrilled when we arrived to a completely empty dining room with the exception of our wonderful waiter and attentive host. It felt like the perfect, cozy intimate space to the end of an otherwise rainy, somewhat crazy but fun day. We shared a bottle of red on recommendation and had cocktails. The waiter was warm and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The ambiance is cozy and has an elevated feel.

People are kvetching about Butterfield's service and prices. And guess what? They're right. Service…read morewas indeed spotty on the Saturday night we came here and prices- well....they veer into sharp-intake-of-breath territory, but the cocktail and wine list are good in value. We'd just wrapped up seeing a property in the area- so coming here for dinner, fell just in line with timing before heading down home. Butterfield is Hasbrouck House's on-site farm-to-table restaurant located a bit north from New Paltz. While we didn't stay at the hotel, folks can certainly dine here. Don't even think that you'll be seated in an ultra-cheap bar area because their bar is put together elegantly with brushed, brassy-gold touches, navy, grey+cream patterned wallpaper and a comfortable tufted leather(?) sofa against the windows.Those are pretty much the overall touches with lots of tone and a lot of warmth. Music was a great mix of 60s-70s R&B. Yeah.... here. Hubs and I were digging it. Naturally, Butterfield's menu will change regularly according with what's in season and available. Between our 'Small Plates' of mixed Beet salad+ yogurt ($18) and hubs' crispy wonton Tuna Crudo+ yuzu tacos ($22)- they were very tasty and pricy for the small size. Mr. Mixologist packed our cocktails extremely well with an incredible TKO. Our main plates were very good- but again, small for the dollar amount. No one needs to gorge on food- but I wished my palm-size $44 Halibut was a bit bigger. To their defense, it had a tasty rub and done PERFECTLY moist though. Hubs' $54 "dry aged strip loin" was a total of 3 pieces. And my take-out Truffle Risotto had uncooked rice. Again, it's small and expensive at $38 for a main plate Hubs and I eat well and usually, money is no object- if it's within reason. I totally get that fine dining typically means splurging a little for high-quality items or that Butterfield is using 'complex cooking techniques' or that you'll get an original dining experience in these neck of the woods for those who want uniqueness. But there are a ton of restaurants that use the same skill set, quality organic ingredients, root veggies, etc- and they're way more reasonably priced than this location.
