I ordered a filet mignon and it had fat in it. A filet should not have fat in it since it is one of the premium cuts of beef. Also the tequila mule drinks did not have very much tequila in them. For the prices I felt I was ripped off. Stay away.Thank you for the feedback. We take great pride in continuing our founder Ruth Fertel's, insistence on serving Midwestern corn-fed USDA prime beef - beef that represents the top percent of all beef available in the United States. We are truly sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your experience with us. We would love for you to give us another shot.

The Twisted Oak offers a daily changing menu sourcing from Local Hudson Valley Farmers making sustainable agriculture the focal point of the menu.

We dine here every so often and I thought an update was well overdue. The Twisted Oak is one of our favorite restaurants in the Rivertowns and last weeks dinner reinforced that opinion. The food and drinks were excellent, the atmosphere charming, and the service impeccable.My wife and I shared the baby lettuce salad, the fried chicken, and the (deconstructed) raspberry shortcake - all were quite delicious. As you might guess from our decision to share the portions are HUGE - I strongly recommend sharing plates. For fall they had a new drink on the menu made from fresh Concord grapes which my wife adored.As I said the atmosphere is charming and even borderline romantic. We prefer the front room, YMMV. Our server, Cory, was wonderful...and extremely helpful. He got me the exact drink I wanted - ice water with just a splash of fresh grapefruit juice (since I wasn't drinking that evening). All in all, another magical night at the Oak.

My mother in law always picks The Cookery for our brunch with her after the New Year. We are always seated at the same table, even without asking, and now we refer to it as our table. The brunch menu is mostly the same, but with so many great dishes to choose from we are fine with it. We all mixed it up this time, except for my husband who always orders the shredded pig. My crostini with ricotta was moist, flavorful, and if I did not know what was coming next, I would have asked for more! I had the seafood special of the day, which were delicious scallops with broccoli rabe and a sauce that I was not crazy about, but I was easily able to push it to the side. The dessert was amazing, both the sticksbutta pie and the chocolate polenta. One thing different was that the other times we were there for brunch the chef sent out plates of items we had not ordered or little treats. This time we only received one plate of yummy muffins and scones, but we were offered seconds on dessert (too full to say yes). The service has been consistently great and we cannot wait to try the owners new British Gastro Pub on Cedar Street. One criticism is that the music is always way too loud for us, but maybe it is just bothersome to us at our stage in life.

Very nice place for a casual meal. Extensive menu and free wifi.

This is a review of El Gato Negro - the Black Cat's new dinnertime alter ego. For a review of 'The Cat' see my previous review.The apps, 'mocktails', and desserts were all really delicious. We had the Spanish Olives, Marcona Almonds, Squash Blossoms, and Fennel Salad. All were tasty but the squash blossom dish was uniquely wonderful - fresh, light, flavorful.They do not have a liquor license so we enjoyed 'mocktails'. Filled with a variety of fresh fruits, veggies, and herbs we liked all of the ones we tried. Though if I had to pick a favorite it would be the Red Panther Sangria (my least favorite was the Tropicalico which I found too banana-y).The desserts were also fabulous. We tried the molten chocolate cake, black forest cake, and best of all the key lime pie which was one of the best ones we've ever tasted (very tangy).But the entrees were disappointing. I don't know if it is a failure of the chef or the equipment but neither our steak nor the paella was cooked at a high enough temperature. The quality of the ingredients was there...just not the fire.Our medium rare steak was undercooked on the outside and overcooked inside - warm and barely pink instead of warm and red. Perhaps more disappointing was the paella which came across as a kind of steamed rice - too wet and no socarrat (chewy, caramelized crust) on the bottom.All in all I strongly encourage you to try El Gato Negro and we certainly anticipate returning. And hopefully they will work out their issues with the 'fire'.

My wife and I visited Sleepy Hollow for a long weekend to celebrate the Halloween festivities this year and stayed at the Doubletree in Tarrytown. The Bridge View Tavern was a place we read about on TripAdvsior prior to going and wanted to check it out for lunch on a Friday as it was a close drive. We had an awesome experience and our server Patty was a large reason why. She greeted us immediately and talked to us like old friends. We told her we were in Sleepy Hollow to see the sites, etc. and not only did she give us a map with info she also recommended several things to do in the area. We had excellent (and spicy) Bloody Maryâs and burgers for lunch and everything was fantastic â the Chorizo Burger was unique and I loved it. We then walked around town all day, went on a cemetery tour, etc. for the next 8 hours and decided to come back for drinks and snacks. We sat at the bar and had the pleasure of speaking to Patty once more and learned she is actually the GM of the place. She was a joy to talk to and she and her staff are excellent. The bartenders we had were on top of everything and the Yankees were playing so it was packed. We ended up staying until close because we were having such a great time. They also have a little beer garden out back, but we didnât have a chance to see it as we wanted to watch the game. Make sure to try the pulled pork nachos. I would highly recommend this place for top shelf food, craft beers and an awesome staff!

We had a party of 6 and went for brunch. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I had the fried egg sandwich on a very fresh roll and some tasty potato hash, which I really enjoyed. My husband had the specialty omelette which had fresh corn and zucchini, that I had to try and was amazing. Everyone else really liked their meals as well. Definitely try this place out if you get a chance!

Food was very good seasoned and cooked well. Had a brisket quesadilla and club sandwich. Service horrible...close to 45 minutes from order until food arrived. Server could not describe any of the dishes. When I asked manager to check on food she said it is definitely on the way right now⦠Prior to checking.

This former Biddle home...think spouse of a Duke (tobacco not aristocracy) and now a conference Center and Inn in hilly and charming Tarrytown NY. We pull up to the manor house entrance and are escorted to the basement...dark, low ceilings, paneled and a showplace for vintage photos of men and women sports teams from the early 20th c. The food is delicious...upscale pub fare. The french onion soup is amazing...The broth is there to hold the onions in place. Sandwiches or salads...each treated with respect. A kitchen garden on the estate provides fresh veggies and herbs in season. Do explore the upstairs house and grounds before you depart. Enchanting.

Compelled to write my first review anywhere. Attempted to eat fish served medium . Request was âcooked throughâ. Came out rare x 2. Next table salmon also undercooked and tuna overcooked. Excuse ....busy on Saturdays? Went home hangry, prices high, service fair but yes , lovely view. Glad I was with great company.
