(4.5 stars) Can't tell you how many times I've driven back and forth from Westchester to the HRV and wondered what that neat building up on the hill was. Now I know! Went here for brunch with a few friends, and thought it was excellent. I'm not a big French toast eater, but they made theirs with cornbread and I was so intrigued I had to try it. Excellent. Definitely filling! Came with fresh fruit as well. Others ordered egg varieties -- omelet, another egg dish, and our other friend joined me in the French toast. Coffee was excellent, decor was lovely and our server and everyone we encountered couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. Can't wait to go back here for dinner! read more

I swear this is true: when my fiancé pointed out that her chateaubriand was overdone our server said "I'm sorry" and then simply walked away. No attempt to make it right, we didn't hear from a manager. Funniest example of bad service I have encountered in a really long time. We were at this spot for a New Year's Eve prix fixe dinner and despite the fact that the menu offerings looked very good , the food was not up to par. The potato leek soup was so under seasoned that it was essentially flavorless. The trick about a potato leek soup is that it should have some degree of salt and pepper. I had the duck and it was decent but the skin was not crisp and the aforementioned steak was overdone, but it was nice to know that the server was at least sorry. We ordered a bottle of wine and made the best of it. We met a nice couple when we mentioned that the gentleman's steak looked like it was cooked medium rare and when he heard us he offered "yeah but it sucked". The restaurant was clearly understaffed as there was one server in the rear dining room and nobody has apparently bothered to explain that when someone says that their steak is overdone the food should be removed and replaced with something approaching what was ordered. read more

We went to Apropos Restaurant for a birthday, and it was nothing short of excellent. The service was fantastic--our server gave great recommendations, and everything tasted so fresh, from the tuna to the endives in the salad. read more

I had wanted to come here for some time for dinner. I was going to an event in the area and decided to stop here for dinner on my way. I'm so glad I came here for dinner. Unfortunately, the property is kind of confusing to find your way. I found a parking spot; although, most of the spots are for valet. There were multiple people in the parking lot who asked me where they could go to find "the wedding," the restaurant, etc. My sister and I made dinner reservations at 6:00 PM on a Friday. When we parked and walked on to the property, there was no signage, but we had been here before so we knew where to go. We walked through a wedding, because that was the only way to enter the restaurant. I wish there was better signage or a more convenient entry way so we didn't disturb the wedding. We had to walk through the aisles in order to enter the restaurant. When we got inside, there was one other party seated. We had a great scenic view and were right in the window. We ordered the pork and steak, and they were both delicious. I had the pork roast and mashed potatoes. It was very fresh and juicy; I would definitely order this again. I highly recommend this spot, if you're in the area. read more

Took my mom here for mother's day, the grounds and the view were stunning. The food was solid we shared the duck confit and the fig and prosciutto flatbread as an appetizer. What i didn't like was the duck dish was cold. For entrees my mom had the lobster scallop pasta, she commented that this is the first time she has ever had more lobster than pasta in a dish! Safe to say she loved it. My step dad had the burger and he liked it. My husband had the shakshuka, he didn't like it. He felt it was watery and under seasoned. I had the cornbread french toast.. it just tasted like a slice of cornbread to me lol. The server was attentive and friendly. All in all it was fine but i don't see myself returning. read more

I came here for dinner with my husband and sister in law. She lives in the apartments next the Abbey, so we walked over. It was beautifully decorated with lights and looked stunning at night. I had wanted to order the sea bass but the waiter came back and told me they were out. So, my husband and I both ordered the salmon and my SIL ordered the duck. They brought rolls and butter out before our meals. The salmon was delicious! Perfectly cooked. My SIL ordered the panna cotta for dessert. Our bill for the 3 of us was $220. I used the lady's room and it's very nicely decorated. Very clean. Most of the restaurant was empty when we went. Outside is a gorgeous view! It's a great place to have a drink and relax. I would definitely go back again. Hopefully they'll have the sea bass available next time. read more

Much like the Abbey Inn, Apropos Restaurant promises luxury but under delivers. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is very good, but I wouldn't say Michelin recommended quality. We had a reservation at 6pm and service was great, but once they got busier around 7pm service became very slow. My mom's bronzino was good, but the fish was grey and did not look appetizing. My pork was juicy and delicious. We got our anchovies on the side of the salad because my mom does not like them. I was shocked when a measly two anchovies presented to us. The pannacotta was very good, but the almond cake was quite dry. read more

So I don't know everybody loves this place yeah it's pretty outside and you look at the Hudson River and it's nice with the lights in the Avions but it has Nats just like any place else. I'm really not blown away with the food at all. The piece of fish was skinny at the end. You could see in a photo and it looks like a tail. I don't know that they said the appetizer for the jumbo shrimp. There was two of them and they were flat and they were shrunk so they weren't a jumbo medium size the most. The shrimp was good although the butter for the bread tasted weird like it's been out too long not to mention it was very mushy. Very expensive not worth the money. read more

We arrived and were greeted by Ilani, lovely young woman , who lead us to our table overlooking the Hudson. Met our waiter , Nilson, he was terrific!! He was so attentive and nice! The dinner was amazing Started with the lobster mac n cheese which had a butternut squash sauce !! I had the chicken and my husband had the salmon, both were amazing as were the vegetables and potato! We then had the almond cake with blueberries and a delicious cream and it was delicious! The ambiance is perfect. We cannot wait to go back for dinner again. !! read more

Food was overpriced, tasteless and overdone. Our party had the ravioli and pork belly. Service was adequate. For the cost you can get better food elsewhere read more

Came here for our anniversary dinner this evening. There was also a wedding going on at the location. What a lovely space. The decor is beautiful and the meals were delicious. There were two different weddings happening at this time, so I am not sure if that is the reason for the slower/less attentive service, so I would be willing to come back again. We enjoyed our meals, cocktails, and desserts! read more

The Abby and Apropos is so unbelievably beautiful. What a gorgeous space and grounds. The food was very good! We had the HVRW lunch. While I didn't care much for the pasta app, the salad with goat cheese was solid, if not predictable. For mains my friend had the chicken which was outstanding. What flavor! I had the shrimp/scallops and it was truly delicious. Chef has a way with sauces. Dessert was the creme brûlée, delicious could have been a bit warmer. Almond cake with blueberry compote for my friend-she nearly swooned! Definitely a 'special occasion' place, but the entire experience is a must-do. read more

We had a wonderful meal and experience here the other day. We really enjoyed all our dishes including the Caesar salad, Burrata, sea bass, clam linguine and desserts. The service was also top notch and the room is lovely. read more

Before they changed chefs 2 or 3 times and management once over the course of the last year it ws pretty great. Now, pretty okay. tuna tartar still good ceasar salad still good sorbet really good home made ravioli - dried out edges, maybe too much time under broiler sea bream - fish itself good, sauce good, very rich and salty.... "melted" leeks was just a piece of leek chopped up on top of the fish... shrimp in the sauce was plentiful but rubbery. Would we go back? Still great location, staff, ambience. But for the price you expect at least no flaws in freshness and preparation. read more

Everything is a problem - requested duck was dry - 2 hours waiting - food very salty . New Chef needed

Can not believe this is a Michelin rated restaurant. Service is okay, friendly and the location is wonderful. . . But we found the food to be good, locally sourced, but not, in our opinion, Michelin special. Their acclaimed Lamb Ragu Pappardelle is fresh and very well prepared, but the sauce feels a bit heavy for my taste. Same with the lamb chops; they were well prepared (tender and excellent flavor) but again in a heavy sauce. Maybe that is their signature style and if that is to your taste, then you will love it. Really enjoyed the drinks, we started at the bar and Belle was very accommodating to any modifications we wanted, but the prepared cocktails are quite delicious. Overall we enjoyed the place a lot and added to our experience by staying at The Abbey. Nice romantic weekend. read more

The place is lovely. The food took way-way-way too long to get to the table. Well over an hour between apps and entrees. We were literally waiting for our bill to walk out when the food finally arrived. The waiter made himself sparse and never apologized for the wait or offered to check on it. He just left us to wait and wait - we ran out of water and still never saw the guy. He never stopped by and asked if we needed anything after the food was delivered. I had to hunt someone down to get salt. The waiter finally came by to see if we wanted dessert. Since we didn't want to wait another hour we called it a night. The food was good but until they get it together we won't be rushing back. A real shame. read more

Located on what looks like a hilltop from the Taconic State Pkwy, Apropos (part of the Abbey Inn & Spa) in Peekskill, served up a small- but good Valentine's Day menu with global touches for me and my boo. While Apropos isn't your common "cozy" restaurant, if you like going for the sunset, river view and a mountain backdrop, this is your place. Make sure you have your mask on (and not as a chin-guard)+Vax proof+ID ready. One lumberjack was told very calmly he will not be seated without one and lethargically exited the restaurant to get one while his wife waited for him indoors. (Witnessed it). Our salad starters were good. While hubs is a mustard eater, he'd said his Caesar had too much of it. My Roasted Beet salad was scrumptious and wished I had more. Our 2nd pasta course was good (again, mine was better than my husband's). He enjoyed his Squash Risotto, but said it was too small. My Mushroom Ravioli with cream and balsamic drizzle was very tasty. My Cauliflower "Steak" on farro with vine tomatoes was very tasty as my 3rd main course. Hubs liked his 'crispy' chicken but it was more roasted than anything and...small. Dessert options for our 4th course were varied and glad they had at least 2 chocolate plates to pick from the 4 listed. Food wasn't horrible- it was very good in fact and our server Jhonny, was polite taking the time to explain the menu. Cocktail ingredients looked wholesome- but the two we had, missed on strength. So is the menu French? Italian? or Mediterranean? Or is it somewhere between farm AND table? What do I mean by that? You can taste the freshness from the farm and presentation on the table was nice. The interval between the very small courses was slow- so much so, as much as hubs and I got the conversation going, we also ended up whipping out our phones. And I get it, my husband I weren't trying to rush through Valentine's dinner- but I can see if each table is made to order and it's not- it's a fixed menu so they should have a specific amount of each item- as opposed to making anything new. Unless I missed something. For the $80 price point, 4-course menu, I also get it: it's Valentine's and prices are jacked up- ingredients were very good though. I actually thought a glass of Bubbly would be included. No. If I start factoring the dollar amount of my items and my husband's, I can't see dessert costing $20, a small....very small Caesar salad $20, etc. Or the other way around where my main plate would cost $30+ just for vegetables and the rest of the $50 is spread out between appetizer+pasta plate+ dessert. I certainly would like to try them again for dinner....not Valentine's dinner. But it's the location, the ambience and the sunset. read more

My husband and I had dinner there with friends a few weeks ago. The setting is beautiful and the food was delicious. Service was a bit slow but our server was very pleasant. When we tried to pay the bill with a gift card from the restaurant that we had been given as a gift, no one at the restaurant knew how to use the card for payment. Even the manager that night had no idea what to do. We paid by credit card and were told someone from the restaurant/hotel would call us regarding the gift card. No one did! After several days, my husband called the restaurant and spoke to someone on the phone who could not help but said she would have someone who could help call my husband back. As of today, still no call! My husband called again today and left a voicemail. Hopefully, they will call back this time! It is a shame that a nice restaurant can't get its act together. I would certainly not recommend anyone buying a gift card from this restaurant! read more

We went her based on a friends recommendation and the fact that Chef Peter Kelly (X Restaurant Group) is running the food program and I'm a huge fan of his. The location is spectacular, nestled high above the Peekskill waterfront you have tremendous views of the Hudson River. The restaurant is inside the Abbey Inn which itself is a gorgeous old church and Abbey. Inside has a strange layout but that makes it interesting. We brought a special bottle of wine since we were celebrating a birthday and there is a $40 corkage fee which i found fair. One of the great things about going to X20 or Restaurant X (before it closed) is the waitstaff is attentive but not over zealous. Here they are somewhat apathetic and unconcerned. Once seated and our order taken we were pretty much left to our own devices. I poured our wine and water (from a bottle left on the table). I'm nitpicking a bit because I expect more from a restaurant associated with Peter Kelly. His standards are extremely high. But on to the food. Just wow - the Ahi Tuna and the ethereal rice puffs was sublime. My wife's scallops were amazing. She ordered the NY strip which was cooked to perfection. I had the Osabow pork. If you've never had this delight, you really really need to try it. It's the most juicy pork chop you'll ever have, bursting with flavor. We finished off sharing the almond cake with blueberry compote- it was sooo good. Overall, it was a great meal and we would go back. read more

My husband and I visited this restaurant last weekend! Beautiful setting! Sampled a few of the small plates- really enjoyed the ahi tuna and the warm shrimp salad. Entrees- strongly recommend the Bronzino and salmon -exceptional! Service was attentive but not intrusive. Dessert-- don't miss the Belgian chocolate dome! Can't wait to go back! read more

Pricy but worth it. A friend took me out to this place so good! We had a feast! The duck was delicious. The oysters on the half shell briney and fresh. The bone marrow and escargot spectacular, and the service was great. The atmosphere perfect, and the property it self was wonderful. I would definitely go again! read more

First time visiting the Inn and first time to restaurant. A birthday party and a wedding in progress so we give everyone a break... Setting = 5 star. Old stone, brick and wood, original to this 1902 property. Simply stunning every way with views up and down the Hudson River Food = 5 star. Both my appetizer and entree were amazing. Tuna and sea urchin crudo and a bone-in veal chop. Communication with kitchen - not so good. Asked not to bring out entree until I said so, and got it two minutes after appetizer. Couple across from me got their entrees before the appetizer plates were cleared. This with three tables in the place, as a result of them smartly limiting reservations. Makes me wonder about a full weekend dinner. Service - 4 star. Have to be on top of timing and table service. Certainly friendly and apologetic about timing. Availability- maybe its Covid - but closed after brunch on Sunday, closed all day Monday and only lunch on Fri-Sun. Breakfast is a to-go bag weekdays except Friday. This is tough on guests, like us, there for a week, as we need to travel off the hill for food. First world problem for sure, but be nice to enjoy lunch on property. Corkage $35, with comprehensive but above average prices at 3-4x retail. read more

I've been hoping to try this place since it opened and I feel this was completely worth the wait. Now, I want to go every week.... I started with the bone marrow appetizer, which was served with a bone marrow spoon. I usually like marrow straight up, but the way it was made was with a sprinkling of cheese and seasoning; it was unbelievably excellent. The texture of the cooked cheese balanced perfectly with the texture of the marrow. I had the Arctic char (salmon) as the fish special over greens. It was cooked perfectly. The skin was crisp and able to be cut with a fork and the meat of the char was tender and smooth, not fishy at all for a salmon. For dessert, we had the gelato sampler, the Olive oil cake, and the rolled oat crumble. While each dessert was outstanding, the olive oil cake really stood out as the flagship. It was topped with espresso gelato. Service from Jhonny, our waiter, was friendly and well-paced. We were not rushed and we never felt we had to go find him. The entire menu was impressive and it really showed how much love the chef put into the menu choices. They provide bread service upon request, which is great. It's a shame so many restaurants waste food that is served to people who don't want it. The cocktail list was creative and the beer and wine list were outstanding. Ommegang caught my eye, as did Leffe and some other excellent beers. The best thing about this place, besides the excellent food and service, is the setting. Atop a cliff overlooking the Hudson River, facing south, any table in our room had a stunning view. Try to get there before sunset. Walk around outside, make a spa appointment, enjoy the renovated Abbey, and top it off with a great dinner and drinks. Make sure to have a designated driver or Uber to get back home. This place is truly awesome. read more

I found myself at Apropos for an educational dinner. I usually attend these in Manhattan, but occasionally when I find myself elsewhere I'll take advantage and aim to learn a little. My stomping grounds are usually lower Westchester, so this was actually my first time not only at this restaurant but in Peekskill as a whole. That being said, I was looking forward to checking this place out. Apropos is located in the Abbey Inn & Spa. The hotel itself is gorgeous - it looks really upscale with intricate architecture and sits atop a hill (hence being viewable from the parkways below). It also seems new, either that or the maintenance is awesome. Anyway, the restaurant itself is located right off the main entrance and has a upscale-ish, contemporary design (think smart casual attire). We had a drink at the bar before being led to a private room on the second floor. This room is not really connected to the restaurant, as we needed to go down a hall where there were hotel rooms and up an elevator. It wasn't really connected but they must use it as private event space. This room was intricately designed - high cathedral ceilings, wood panels, and stained-glass windows. I think I heard this used to be a chapel or something in the building's previous life, and the restoration/preservation was incredible; it was truly a feast for the eyes. All of our courses were served family style. I found this a little strange but don't fault the restaurant as the organizers of the event likely requested that; there's usually a prix fixe at these dinners but we are able to order our own app and entree (only dessert is usually family style). Our starters were a charcuterie board, Caesar salad, and Abbey Green salad (garden salad with a few accents). These were all good - they were generous with the meats and cheeses, and the salads were dressed well. We then moved onto pasta where we were served the orecchiette with fennel sausage and broccoli rabe pesto, and the cavatelli with tomato sauce. I wasn't a fan of either of these - both were overcooked, the fennel overpowered any other flavor in the orecchiette, and the cavatelli lacked flavor. We then shared two mains: roasted half chicken over polenta and hake. The chicken was kinda dry - the polenta was okay but would have been more interesting if they let it solidify and slice it up. The hake was pretty good, subtle flavor but it worked with the overall lightness of the fish. For dessert we were served panna cotta topped with vanilla beans - this was pretty good. Service was great, everyone was super friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The food left something to be desired, though this was an educational dinner so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I would be interested in returning, however at this time I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to do so. read more

The portions were the perfect size It was just enough to be supremely content and not so much that you feel overwhelmed. Fehrat gave the best recommendations, he suggested the duck, it may be hyperbole but that dish was a transformative experience. The perfect texture and perfectly seasoned. 10/10 would recommend. My wife had the sirloin and had a great time with that. Shoutout to Peekskill on their Michelin Star restaurant. I loved it here. read more

Absolutely delicious 5 star meal! We loved everything we had and the dishes truly showcase the chef's talent I loved loved the bone marrow with escargot - so unique and if you like foie gras, their version is delicious I got the duck my husband got the veal special - both were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend read more

Horrible experience. I booked Mother's Day brunch buffet over a month ago. When we arrived, they said they were over booked and tried to offer us their regular menu with $20+ dollar eggs and duck for breakfast but offered a small discount for the inconvenience. My wife who just lost her mother was looking forward to the event. They could not even allow us to use the buffet and sit in another area. No exceptions according to the "director" My wife in tears, we just left. They completely ruined our Mother's Day. Shallow, insensitive and uncaring staff. read more

We went there for restaurant week. We had one vegetarian with us. I had been told that the chef would make some thing vegetarian as an option. However, when we got there, the waiter said the vegetarian could choose two appetizers. I said I assume the second appetizer would be main course size. When it arrived, it was very small appetizer size. The waiter did nothing to correct this. He said he told the chef that this was the main course for a vegetarian. It was only pasta. I would never go back. read more

I have been to Apropos 4 times, once for a group, twice for a nice evening, and once for lunch. Each time I have loved the freshness of the menu, the balance of each plate, and the overall experience. Frankly the way the plates are designed you can literally taste each element as it melds with the next. I absolutely love that aspect of dining here. The menu is pretty limited. I don't think that's entirely a negative, it reflects the fact they are farm to table and focus on quality. They have at least one fish, pork, beef, vegetarian item on every menu. The portions are very well thought out, too. You walk away feeling satiated but not over-stuffed. Def save room for dessert - I am a fan of their olive oil cake. The venue cannot be talked about enough. You take these winding back roads up to a beautiful view at an historic abbey. The service is always top notch. I recommend this restaurant highly to all my family and friends. Can't wait to get the chance to try their brunch on my next visit. read more

Great food and even better service. Our waiter Farat was exceptional and accommodating, could not have asked for a better dinner experience! Merci beaucoup, bon Monsieur! read more

I called almost a week in advance and booked a reservation for 7 people for Saturday night dinner. On Thursday evening I got a phone call from Judy Williams telling me that they could no longer accommodate us for this Saturday night. This is leaving us in a scramble to get a reservation somewhere else with such short notice. Judy claimed they were overbooked on open table. I reminded her that I called and spoke with a person and was confirmed to have dinner. She said sorry and offered no alternative for Saturday dinner. If I could award 0 stars I would. This is unfortunate that a local restaurant won't accommodate their local Peekskill people. Don't count on them if you are trying to plan an important event. read more

We have been long time customers of the Apropos. It was always a 5/5 and an amazing experience with all the staff, food and ambiance. Don't know what happened in the last month that we hadnt been there, but last night was heartbreaking. We arrived around 6:40 for our reservation and by 7:30 we had to leave. 50 minutes with no drink and no server, and all we had asked for was a bottle of wine. One busser came at some point and said they are too busy. Did not recognize most if not all of the staff, was told that many were let go. Entire menu changed and we were all given different versions of it. Multiple other parties sat waiting over an hour for a cocktail, and with no music we could all hear every single party pondering on leaving and going elsewhere. Hope that this place can get themselves together again because as of now we and our friends and family will not be returning. read more

I highly recommend Apropos. I went for Christmas Eve and the Olive Cake & Duck was delicious. The bartender Angelina was So amazing, professional, friendly quick and has a great sense of humor. I recently went back at sunset and the views were breathtaking of the Hudson River and the landscaping was incredible. I also been to the Spa for some Awesome treatments. All around great experience. read more

Absolutely stunning setting. The view and Abbey grounds are gorgeous!! We were pleasantly mind blown when we saw the adorable garden they have for outdoor seating, and it made for a beautiful evening. Staff was wonderful and attentive, especially Jhonny. One of the best servers I think we've ever had, the world over. The menu itself is one of the most inventive and ambitious in the area. Loved the marrow with escargots, and the crispy polenta is a must-try as far as sides. Everything was cooked to perfection. The only thing lacking were the cocktails, which did not match the quality of the food and setting. Overall, a beautiful place for a special evening out. read more
