Great food and the service was amazing. Notified restaurant prior that we were celebrating a special event and they provided us 2 glasses of champagne after we sat down (on the house). Will 100% be coming back next time we are in Beacon!

Beautiful restaurant, lovely and attentive service. I went at lunch, nice to be in a quiet cool place. I had the mussels and pasta with sausage, delicious. I will go back for dessert and to try the rest of the menu. My favorite resto for fine dining in the area. Will definitely be back.

Best restaurant that we visited on our 5-night trip to Hudson Valley. Outstanding and creative food. It was so good that we returned for a second meal. My only suggestion would be to expand the wine list a bit, especially "by the glass"

Great place for a dinner. Defined menu with the best choices. Also the specials options were outstanding, picked two dishes from the specials. We set at the bar and learned a lot about making special cocktails, fun family atmosphere, outstanding food. If I was not visiting the area, this would be my spot to hand out.

My daughter and I ate at this restaurant on Mother's Day. Everything was perfect including the wine, service and atmosphere. I feel the need to take a point off, just because I ordered the ribeye special, which was expensive, and much fattier than I like. Otherwise we loved everything.

This is a favorite of ours. Warm, dimmed lights and attentive service. The tagliatelle with short rib sauce was delicious, rich and firmly al dente. The branzino was outstanding, tender and moist, lemony and beautifully presented. Often a boned fish looks unattractive on a plate. The large party adjacent had two shrill shrieking toddlers detracting from the usually calm atmosphere which was unfortunate. May need to book for later in the day.

Food was excellent (beet gateau, Brussels sprouts salad, shrimp scampi, chicken, pistachio truffle) with exception of the short rib tagliatelle which was pasty and bland. An off night for it? Service was exemplary. When our neighbors were loud, we were moved without fuss to a quieter table, our servers were attentive & responsive all evening & made us feel cared for without hovering. Atmosphere is welcoming, warm & cozy .
