The food is amazing! Who said "the saucier is God" - I think Eric Ripert - agree The Wild Caught Prawns in red curry sauce is the only appetizer I get. It is the best item on the menu! This visit my husband had the braised beef pie and I the pork chop, both outstanding! Warm date toffee pudding was delicious. Run to Bia for outstanding food and exceptional service but if you want to linger or have a quiet intimate dinner it is not that place. It could be with some tweaks but the food is the reason I'm there! read more

Sad to report a deterioration in food quality. Ordered my usual fish and chips. The fish was soggy not crispy and was tasteless. Service and ambiance still there but this place is too pricey for mediocre food. read more

Came to Bia as a recommendation from our BnB hosts, and we were blown away by how delicious (and unique) the food was! My partner and I love Irish pub food, and Bia elevates it to the next level. Our favorite dishes included the pate and salmon tartare (some of the best I've every had). The lamb dish with side of chips were also incredible. Service was friendly and we enjoyed the cozy atmosphere - perfect for a date night! We will definitely be back to try other dishes next time we find ourselves in Rhinebeck! read more

This restaurant is sadly closing on Sunday, February 8th, 2026. This restaurant is the closest thing to NYC fine dining. It has a more down to earth countryside feel though. If you've never dined here you truly missed out. read more

Went back for my birthday and everything was absolutely delicious. The service was so friendly and the ambiance was really nice, but the food of course was the highlight. The bread with that butter was so good, the Brussels sprouts were amazing and the fish and chips were absolutely delicious and so fresh (get a side of the curry aioli, I promise you it's sooo worth it)!! To top it all off, that date and toffee pudding with the ice cream was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. I will be back again, what a great way to spend an early birthday meal with my parents! read more

Perfect Sunday night. Everything was prepared beautifully and delicious. Sunday roast included the best creamed spinach and a dramatic Yorkshire pudding. The fish and chips were crispy and expertly seasoned. From cocktails through to espresso it was a wonderful night. Thank you. read more

Bia - Shrimp Toast - New American Near Me - Rhinebeck, New York

Drove up from Long Island to try the elevated Irish cuisine. Boy, was it worth the trip! Just walking in the door was a treat. The lighting, smells, sound level, friendliness... all perfect. The drinks were creative versions of the classics. We had the aperitif spritz and the blackthorne, which was a delicious and interesting take on an old fashioned complete with hints of cardamom, Irish tea, absinthe, and bitters. The stout bread was also unique and a must. We ate a little and took home the rest. Delicious the next day as well! We order the raclette, which was more like an Italian fried cheese, but very light and perfectly balanced out by a vinegary potato-pickle-mustard salad. The Berkshire pork chop I ordered was easily the best chop I've ever had. Incredibly tender and flavorful. And when the juices mixed with the caraway cabbage slaw it made for a perfect sauce. My wife ordered the top notch beer battered fish. Even the desserts were great- sticky toffee gingerbread pudding and some sort of chocolate layer cake with buttercream and added cherry and other flavors. Overall just a great meal and great service. Can't rave enough about it. Just wish our overnight accommodations in Red Hook had lived up to the dining experience! read more

*Update 2/19* We ate here for the second time last Saturday night, and while the drinks and food remain wonderful, the restaurant was packed when we arrived for our 630 reservation. Our waiter was very friendly, but with limited service staff, we again found ourselves waiting for food. We ordered the chicken liver terrine, which came with 3 small slices of bread for the two of us. We wanted more bread, but couldn't get our waiter so we just finished the appetizer. We had been at the restaurant for an hour before the entrées came, and wished they included a little bit of extra carbs or starch (my husband's outstanding pork chop had a few halves of baby potatoes; my trout had a modest serving of white beans). The food is delicious, but it's definitely more of a leisurely experience. It was a solid 15 minutes for the appetizer to come out after we got our drinks. Next time we visit, I will probably order two appetizers, and just accept that it's going to take a while for the food to come out. The lot was packed so we had to find street parking a block away.** read more

We thoroughly enjoyed this place. The vibe is very similar to what you would get in Ireland. The server was kind and welcoming. All of her suggestions were spot on. The pork chop was delicious... and that's not something we would normally order. I had the fish special.. it had a very rustic Ireland flavor with a crisp crust. The prawns were an absolute favorite. I also enjoyed the salad which had a fresh blue cheese on it that my husband refused so I enjoyed happily on my own. read more

Finally got around to trying Bia tonight and glad I did! Very good food and EXCELLENT service! We loved the cozy, warm atmosphere. We started with stout bread and salmon tartare... the salmon was delish, I plan to go back for that alone. I had some very good fried fish and hubby loved his pork chop. We will be back soon!! read more

I wish I could give Bia even more than 5 stars. This is a fantastic place that serves absolutely delicious, locally sourced foods in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. It's a perfect date night place and has a wonderful bar with creative mixologists. The soups I have enjoyed here have been very comforting on cold nights. The service is consistently fantastic--if your server is Jackie you are in for a treat. She is one of the best around and will make your experience pleasant, relaxing and memorable. And the ambience is welcoming. I always bring friends and family to Bia when they are visiting. They never let us down. We always leave having enjoyed our meal and our experience. read more

My husband and I ate here last night to celebrate our 40th anniversary. This restaurant exceeded my expectations, which were already high. (My nephew said it was the best restaurant in Rhinebeck). The food was outstanding and creative, the service was excellent and Jackie, our server, was very attentive and engaging. We're local, now this is our go-to place for special occasions. read more

We enjoyed our third great meal at Bia tonight. I had the gnocchi arrabiata, soft with just the right amount of chewiness, with a good spice level and a dollop of mascarpone to cut the heat. On the side I had the little gem Caesar salad. I am a big fan of complex Caesar salads, and this fit the bill, with bottarga and an anchovy dressing, along with slices of radishes - great flavor. My wife ordered the chicken schnitzel, stuffed with fontina cheese and topped with mushrooms and kale. It looked unbearably heavy but proved to be light and flavorful - and huge. We also split an order of Brussels sprouts, maybe the best I've ever had. It's a rich dish, best shared - I never thought Brussels sprouts could be an indulgence but these were a delight. Alongside all this we enjoyed a couple excellent cocktails - there is always something imaginative on the menu and tonight was no different. Looking forward to a return! read more

Food: we ordered a number of dishes and all were excellent. Our favorite was probable the pork belly. It could have been the the most tender i have ever had. Service was great. The wait staff was always available and help accommodate our 3 year old son who wasn't alway able to sit still Ambiance. Very clean and modern. Felt very comfortable eating our meal. read more

A few years ago, I bought a cookbook that billed itself as "Nouvelle Irish Cuisine." I eventually sold it, and my thought was, "I'd never cook any of the dishes here, but I'd eat them elsewhere." Welcome to "Elsewhere." It's too bad Yelp's limitations on categories of restaurants relegates a place like this to "Irish," because it's more like Irish inspired cuisine. As we were alternating between raving about and wolfing down our appetizer and cocktails, the staff commented on the focus given to complexity of taste on so much here for the food and drink, something of which I wholeheartedly approve. That was evident in the meals, the drinks, even the breads served before dinner. Oh, and they left room for focus on service too. The entree options are somewhat limited, but the specials often compensate. I went with duck, because duck, and we also ordered a special for the evening, venison medallions wrapped in bacon, because ... oh never mind, you get the idea! The mushrooms in truffle oil appetizer whetted our appetite for what was to come as well. After-dinner offerings included some decadent desserts, Irish coffee, specialty sorbets, and a generous assortment of digestifs, some of which I had to Google (which subsequently went onto my liquor shopping list). Bia is a nice addition to the dining scene in Rhinebeck, and it's now high on my list of local restaurants for a fancier evening out. read more

My absolute favorite restaurant in Rhinebeck. Delicious food, great staff, and the owner, Kyle really knows how to create a special experience for diners. Fantastic cocktails as well, always fresh ingredients and inventive concoctions. This is a hidden gem on Garden St. Sunday roasts with a live Irish band is amazing. read more

We reserved a tent, feeling a bit like Arabian royalty. Great soundtrack on the patio, our own private heater; however at 20 degrees we still kept our coats on! Very attentive servers popped in frequently. We ordered 5 small plates to share, each delicious and saved room for the fig pudding and chocolate torte. Our COVID precautions running quite high, we are hugely selective of our surroundings and made reservation well in advance. Highly recommend. read more

We came to Rhinebeck and stayed at the Beekman Arms. We were looking for a spot that was close and had decent reviews and Bia fit the bill. Just a block away and people seem to like the place. What a great little restaurant. The outside ambiance is fantastic, put us in a great mood immediately. Our first glimpse of how the food was going to be was the bread, it was fabulous. We ate it up smiling. I order the milk punch and it was so damn good. We ordered apps, I think the calamari and the cured Irish gravlax. It was amazing, especially the gravlax, it's all I really remember from the apps we ordered. Next we ordered the tempura fish and chips and the pan roasted steelhead trout. Both were delicious!. Great tasting food here at Bia. Drinks were really tasty, service was attentive and food was outstanding. The only thing we really didn't understand was the service charge added to the bill. Was that the tip? Anyway I added a little extra and gave it to the waitress. Still don't know want the service charge was. Don't really run into that a lot. Prices were great at this place anyway so all and all, we were happy to pay whatever the bill required. If you're searching around for food in Rhinebeck, come here, you'll be as happy as we were. It is a delightful little spot. Unassuming but packs a great meal! read more

One of the best meals we've ever had. Two days later the family was still talking about it. My husband's lamb pie was one of the most delectable things I've ever eaten. The cheese board was a delicious way to start the our meal. Don't miss the Brussels sprouts and duck fat fried potatoes. Yummo. We split three desserts, a pistachio, lemon, chocolate ice cream, a fig pudding cake, and cheesecake were to die for. I highly recommend. read more

Great experience from start to finish. My husband, 2 year old daughter and myself were having dinner with a friend and they were super friendly towards my daughter (not always the case with finer dining places) They had a small plate special of pate with cranberry chutney, mustard and pickles that was super delicious and light. My friend ordered a boca roja and asked to see if the bartender could make a mocktail version (I'm 6 months pregnant). He made a very tasty mocktail that my friend said mimicked it well. For entrees, my husband got the Sunday roast, and my friend and I ordered the fish and chips which I shared with my daughter. The fish was cooked perfectly with a nice light tempura batter. I just wish it had been a tiny bit more seasoned but it paired deliciously with the aioli for the chips which had great flavor. Mushy peas were flavorful and we enjoyed our meal very much. read more

Wow! This food is absolutely delectable. I ordered the pork belly with black pudding, Guinness brown bread, and beet salad and it was all absolutely wonderful. Highest praise to this place! read more

Great atmosphere, loved the privacy with the walls between tables, good Irish menu. I ordered the Venison fricassee which was one of the best meals I've ever had because of how well the venison was seasoned and cooked. The Irish whiskey cream under the venison was a little too creamy but was definitely the right combination. My girlfriend had the cured Irish salmon over the house bread, which she said was a little underwhelming. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with an attentive waiter and waitstaff! I'm just still in awe of how good the venison was... read more

Bia - Venison Fricassee - New American Near Me - Rhinebeck, New York

Bia is an absolutely delicious restaurant in Rhinebeck. Aside from finding it through research on Yelp, we were recommended this place right off the bat -- by a waiter at a competing restaurant down the street, no less. Basically he was like, if you're a foodie, there's nowhere else to go besides Bia. Naturally the hot pink tents are fabulous and the Wait staff is is extremely attentive, kind, and joked around with us. When you walk into the restaurant, you're staring directly at the bar where the bartender is whipping up cocktails. I eyed him pouring some Mezcal into the cocktail shaker and immediately wanted whatever drink he was concocting. Sure enough, I told him he'd be making another shortly and sure enough, I found it on the menu and sure enough, he was shaking up another 1....2... then some sort of dessert drink because we wanted to stay here longer and this place got me good and nasty (you can tell from my pic quality, I was feeling fiiiiiiiine!) the dishes, all recommended by Waiter who knew them like the back of his hand, were divine. We were especially obsessed with the crispy Brussels with an egg on top, and of course a restaurant that calls itself Irish modern had some bangin' bangerz and mash. The mushrooms were also delectable. Weird to say it, but it was the sides and drinks that made this place so damn good. I probably would have a different view of it had I been indoors, but outside in the hot pink tent, I felt young, free, and daring. read more

Bia was the destination for a birthday dinner. The new cabana set-up for Covid worked perfectly. Private tent with heater and fan make it cozy and safe. Food was excellent. Delicious meal: we had the trout special, braised beef pie, prawns, Brussels sprouts, and the pear/honey cake for dessert. The waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable. Great dinner! I would highly recommend Bia. read more

Our dinner was absolutely fabulous. Everything was delicious. The ravioli starter was exceptional. The staff was very helpful.

Really enjoyed our dinner at Bia. Creative and well executed dinner with good wine selection. Service was also terrific.

We just had the most amazing meal! All different entrees for a party of 4 and each one prepared to perfection. Double duty service from our waiter and the attentive bartender was a nice bonus. And let's not to forget the incredible Irish music. What Sundays are made for. Great job owner Kyle and Chef Rich and their staffs!!! read more

Fantastic food, atmosphere and service. Make sure to order the bread made from stout. The pork and lamb dishes are all excellent choices.

Terrible food. The service was terrible. The menu was very unapproved. The options weren't any delicious

Enthralling & beguiling flavors. Extremely delicious - intense, visionary, comforting food. Incredibly good in every category (drinks, sides, mains, desserts). A true culinary odyssey and completely unique. Best food we've had in upstate NY. Some of the best food I've ever had period. Bia, we love you! read more

Hidden off Main Street in picturesque Rhinebeck this place blew me away. Elevated Irish cuisine, gorgeous decor and friendly and knowledgeable staff really made this a wonderful meal. For starters we ordered the cured organic salmon, chips (fries), and a cheese plate. All good here and went really well with their house made corn bread! The mains were the stars of the show. I had a Berkshire pork belly with butter poached lobster. It was just as good and as decadent as it sounds. Other highlights from our party's order were the pheasant, scallops and grass fed steak. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. We washed it all down with some artisanal cocktails. They really know what they are doing here with the drinks. For dessert a must try is their warm date pudding and their Irish coffee of course! read more

The food is unimagined and very expensive. Every dish was memorable, and not for the right reasons. Kitchen clearly ran out of oysters for the night (a Saturday night around 8) and instead of taking the fried oysters off the monkfish special or 86'ing the dish, the chef chose to substitute oysters with chicken. Aside from being a really bad move food-wise, we were not informed of the switch, despite my brother (a pescatarian of over a decade) asking our server if there was any meat in the dish, which he was assured there was not, and the manager clarified as well. When we asked our server why there was chicken in lieu of oysters on the dish, he initially denied the reality - went back to the kitchen to clarify - denied it again - and then eventually admitted to the substitution. Clearly there was a decision to get chicken in case they ran out of oysters, and run the dish with that - choosing not to inform guests of the switch, and having two FOH staff assure us there was no meat. In the days since, the restaurant staff and their friends have harassed me on Yelp and Facebook for sharing what happened. I understand figuring out the early stages of a restaurant is difficult, and there are bumps, but making decisions to deceive your guests and disregard customers' health/wellbeing is unforgivable. read more

What keeps it from a 5 star? The food is wonderful, from special breadbasket to the finishing candy treat. The room is spacious and tables are well spaced. Everything is carefully chosen and presented. The staff is pleasant and attentive. So... The drinks, expensive, come in what I call dollhouse glasses. At 15 to 17 bucks a pop... I mean, pour me a tall one. And... The menu runs from 20 to 30 bucks or so for entrees I assumed the quail special would be similarly priced. No price was attached to the specials when recited. Bill arrives, 39 bucks. You can't do that. In sum, fine evening, fine food, $130 before tip. Ouch. read more

Overall a good experience with one issue. Menu is interesting and diverse, though only one entry for vegetarians (a delicious barley risotto). Food is excellent, especially the fried broccoli. Attentive service, nice room. BUT loud raucous rock and roll was blasting out of the speaker right over our table. In a bar setting it'd be fine but totally inappropriate for a restaurant charging $70+ per person. The volume was lowered slightly when we asked the waitress, but we still had to speak in a raised voice to be heard in conversation. Jazz or even mellow rock, at a lower level, would be much more appropriate. read more
