    12/22/2021 - very good chicken.
    Ernie F.

    Somewhere on Route 44, you'll spot a building on an open field called Charlotte's, and what is it, a restaurant. In fact, a very good restaurant. It's not a hard place to miss while driving. This type of place is what you would not call just a walk-in restaurant, but instead, it requires a reservation. Many people use it for big events, holiday gatherings, and also anniversaries, etc. The atmosphere is very nice and there's plenty of room for seating. Private rooms are also provided for a plus to keep a party separated while everything is handled in a controlling manner. This is my second time coming here and the first was many years back. The food we had is fabulous despite the long wait, it's worth it. The menu is updated on an everyday basis, just a heads up. Service is always great. For any event, Charlotte's is the place to choose.

    Mushroom Wellington - something different and good!

    My partner and I enjoyed our al fresco dining at Charlotte's. Overall, we liked our food, but the team was definitely overwhelmed with the customer base, and the level of service was sub par. However, I am keeping the rating at 4 stars because they acknowledged the challenge and because of its nice setting. There are about 10-15 tables for outside dining. Trees block the area from the road, though you're right next to parked cars. Nonetheless, the landscaping and trees on the edges of the outdoor dining area are very pleasant. It took a bit of time to get our menus, but it gave us the time to take in the scene. The menu changes regularly. There were lots of enticing-sounding items. The spinach salad was great to split and very refreshing. I liked their use of vegetables in the dishes, and the presentation of our dishes was multi-faceted but thoughtful. Frankly, the service was so bad that we would have ordered another drink, a dessert, a coffee, etc., but we were so concerned about how long it would take to get any of these items, that we decided to forgo it. On top of it all, my husband had to go inside and ask for the check after we had waited about 20 minutes after finishing our dishes. They did comp my seltzer water, which was thoughtful but in some ways a bit minimal. It kind of had us scratching our heads. I did have to call twice to get a reservation, but no big deal. I'd recommend this spot if you're in the area. Don't be in any sort of rush.

    Ajax truffle fries

    Charlotte's was a great place with a lovely outdoor dining area and beautiful backdrop for dinner. The feeling is casual, but the setting makes you think of a relaxing summer evening. While the outside was beautiful, I am usually eaten alive by bugs and mosquitoes so we opted for the indoor dining, but the area with the open windows - we got the breeze and sun without the bugs. We additionally had the whole room to ourselves. Jenna was our server and she was great. We ordered the crab cakes, which won an award (they were good, but very small - 2 pieces for $16), we ordered the Ajax truffle fries, burrata salad, chicken pasta in a tomato sauce and 2 seafood crepes. We additionally got 2 key lime pie slices to go because we were very full, but that's always a good summer treat, especially being homemade. I absolutely LOVED the seafood crepe. I wasn't sure it would be so good, but it was creamy and jam packed with crab, lobster, and scallop. The black rice was great, the vegetables were plenty and varied - it was a great dish. I also got one of their special drinks (Caribbean punch?) which was nice, fruity and delicious. The truffle fries were seasoned well, the burrata was pretty good and went well with the bread. My husband really liked his chicken pasta dish too. The keylime slice was good, though very tart so for those who are not as big on that might not think it's so good, but I very much enjoyed the idea of much of the menu being homemade including things like ice cream. The meal overall was a little on the pricey side, but the service was great, the food was excellent and the ambiance was great. We had a very enjoyable meal and I would definitely come back here again!

    Here's my second review: this is a beautifully decorated romantic, cozy restaurant with a bistro feel. Delicious food with classically generous portions. This is a lovely place for special occasions. They had a delicious vegan option of Tsao's cauliflower. Beautiful fresh vegetables always.

    Clam chowder
    Ana G.

    Went to Charlotte's for their event night- 3 course dinner and comedy show. $85 per person. The clam chowder was so flavorful I loved it. For the main I ordered the rib-eye medium and it was a little too pink for me but still okay. The tiramisu was delicious. Seating was community style so we sat with 2 other couples which caught me off guard at first but then ended up being fun. The comedy show was okay but I think the humor was aimed for an older crowd. Great service. Would recommend for a nice dinner.

    Drinks first; nice simple wine list
    Sue M.

    It really couldn't have been any better! Amazing dinner ( seafood crepes) delicious wine, fireside seating, attentive staff. I even enjoyed the cozy and lovely furnished bathroom! This place has EVERYTHING. Definitely a romantic spot, but saw several adult groups also enjoying the atmosphere. A beautiful ride out to the country and away from the crowds.

    Mariclaire N.

    This place was great, highly recommended. Menu was diverse and filled with ingredients of flavor for a lot of the main dishes and appetizers. I took a star because of a small wine list ( the Sauvignon Blanc was not good .. Rhodney something.. but everyone has a preference ) and the buratta wasn't very good .. as an Italian American small cut pieces of buratta isn't a go too. Other than that the food and decor of the place was different (check out pictures in men's restroom) and lovely (fall season ).

    Is it kid friendly. Do they have a kids menu?

    Yes, it is kid friendly. We offer pasta with butter and cheese or marinara, chicken fingers with fries, and other options available (such as Mac and cheese) depending on what is on the menu, as it changes daily.

I wanted to make this memorable for all of us. Enter, Danny's Table. This little gem in the Village of Fishkill met every expectation and exceeded them. We took an early dining hour and were seated immediately by Arnoldo, the host, who checked often to assure that we were comfortable and satisfied. We were expertly served by two waitresses, Nayeli and Dyan. And then came the delicious food. The appetizers were so good that I forgot to take pictures of the entrees. I had it all. Great food, great service, and the excellent company I brought with me was already in the bag. I don't know how they could have achieved this level of excellent service and fine dining when they have only been open since September, 2025, but wow! I can only assure you that my siblings and I will be back. And, we will be back soon!

Though he served bread once and never asked if we wanted more! Now for the food The Hanger steak, with Arugula Salad and feta cheese (tasty) fries are French fries nothing special, the Hanger Steak was served medium rare with a bit of Chimichurri ( tasteless) needed salt n pepper, very tiny portion for the price. Duck a l'Orange also kind of small portion and not particularly tasty, served with red cabbage and blood orange au jus!! Shrimp Linguini, nothing out of the world, needed salt n pepper, very bland. Nod for the good, the Cheese Burger and fries was super duper yummy.

    I unfortunately have mixed feelings about this place! I have been here many times and the photos…read moreare from a recent time where we got the $250 steak. So yeah as you can imagine this place is pricey and is definitely for a special occasion. On this visit we had exceptional service and they even brought us free caviar! I have seen them do this before. We had a girls night here one time and one of my friends got there early. As she waited they gave her a complimentary glass of champagne. This type of customer service is amazing and is what is expected of an establishment of this caliber. I mean a room at the hotel here will cost you about $1000 a night. So as you can guess it is not unusual to see celebrities here as well. Before I get into the food I will tell you what made me give them 3 stars. One morning I brought a friend here that was going through something. I wanted to treat her to a nice breakfast. We sat on there terrace by the fire pits. As I've said before I've been here often. The waiter who was not as friendly as I've had before told me in order to eat there I needed to put a card on file. Huh? I've never seen that before but okay sure. I mentioned how I would likely order something to go to for my husband at the end of our meal. The service was not great because they did not come back and when they finally did they swiped my card and gave me the final check. Huh? I never said I was finished and again I had already mentioned I wanted to order something to go. When I asked this new waitress ( the original guy was no where in sight) why they ran my card already because I specifically said I wanted to order something to go her nonchalant response was that she could just run it again. I've thought about that experience. It felt so off and I would have said something more at the time but again I was having breakfast with a friend who was going through something. Not the time to complain. So when I met someone who worked there at a diffrent event. I shared my experience and asked if this is a policy of there's to put a card on file to eat on the terrace. As you can guess it is not. Unfortunately, as you can imagine I felt discriminated against. I guess our waiter assumed I wouldn't pay my check and wanted to make sure he had my card and he swiped it as soon as he saw us take the last bites on our plates. After I talked to this employee I did write the restaurant to let them know of this experience and sadly I got no reply. I will say I have been back since then and did not get treated that way. But I felt like it's important to let others know. This is by no means a cheap restaurant especially in the economy! I would expect not to be made to feel the way I felt that day and would never want at one to feel that way. Benefit of the doubt maybe that waiter did have someone run out on his check in the past and wanted to ensure it did not happen again. I can understand that because I know some restaurants make the waiter pay for those walkouts, which is also not fair to them. It would have been nice though that when I contacted them about the situation they would have acknowledged what happened. And maybe just better training on how to go about the situation to make sure their customers don't feel like you assume they are criminals. Okay the food. First there French fries are a favorite. Random I know but I appreciate a good fry. The steak was cooked perfectly and the cocktails were got were a 10! I've had food from the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. The food is farm to table and I love sitting either outside or by the open kitchen as you watch the chefs cook. All and all I say it's worth going even for a cocktail. Sometimes they have live music playing and it's super cute for a nice date night. They do valet parking and have tons of charging stations.

The atmosphere was calm, breezy, and had that laid-back summer night feel that makes you want to linger just a little longer. Food: 4.5/5 We kicked off with a couple of appetizers, and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. The pigs in a blanket were way more elevated than your average bar snack--wrapped well, seasoned with everything bagel spice, and super flavorful. A fun and unexpected highlight. The real star of the apps though? The watermelon and burrata salad. Juicy, fresh, light--it was the exact kind of dish you want on a summer night. Refreshing and satisfying all at once. For my entrée, I ordered the shrimp scampi but asked to add salmon for an extra protein boost (which they happily did). My husband got the seared tuna, and I'll admit--major food envy. His plate looked stunning and well-balanced, and he was thoroughly impressed. Service: 5/5 Everyone was so kind here. The staff checked in regularly, didn't rush us, and made sure we had what we needed without being overbearing. They also didn't blink when I asked to customize my entrée a bit, which I really appreciated. It made the whole meal feel even more relaxed and accommodating. Overall: A lovely spot to close out our trip. The food had thoughtful touches, the river view was peaceful, and the service was excellent. I'd definitely return--especially on a warm evening when you're craving something light, fresh, and a little special.

    Ore Hill has a brief, but somewhat tangled, history. Along with Swyft, a more casual sibling…read morerestaurant that shares the same address and ownership, and Rock Cobble Farm, a nearby estate in South Kent that supplies incredible produce, dairy products, and beef to both restaurants, Ore Hill was the brain child of philanthropist Anne Bass. We have loved the wood-fired pizzas, cocktails, and anything vegetal at Swyft since star chef Joel Viehland (previously of Noma, Gramercy Tavern and Community Table) opened it in 2018. Sadly, Chef Viehland left Swyft in 2020 without realizing plans for Ore Hill and not long after, Ms. Bass passed away. She provided for the farm and two restaurants in her estate, however, allowing Ore Hill to finally open in April 2023 with Chef Tyler Anderson as culinary director and Ryan Connelly as executive chef. The New York Times recognized Ore Hill as one of the best restaurants in the US the same year, the only restaurant so recognized in Connecticut. But the story doesn't end there. For reasons not made public, it seems that Chef Connelly left in late 2024 and Chef Ryan Carbone was brought in as a replacement. At our recent meal, Chef Carbone had not been long at the helm. We do not know first hand what the kitchen was like prior to his leadership -- but we can comfortably say that Ore Hill under Chef Carbone is inventive, interesting, and delicious. It makes brilliant use of lesser-known, lesser-appreciated ingredients that can transform a dish -- like nasturtium flowers and gooseberries. This kitchen takes risks, combining ingredients in unusual ways -- and it often pays off big time. Whoever is designing the food here is brilliant and those who are executing the food are doing a fine job of it. Ore Hill is only open for dinner and only offers a five course prix fixe or a chef's tasting menu. There is bread service, something we have learned to never take for granted given that it is no longer a norm in most NYC establishments: Two extremely thick slices of toasted, smoky sourdough with extremely yellow butter sourced from Rock Cobble Farm. (There could be doctoring of other sorts, but I usually associate butter this color with well grazed cows.) We chose a bottle of wine to go with our meal, a light 2020 Rossese di Dolceacqua, "E Prie" di Anfosso Lorenzo from Liguria. I did not love this wine on first sip, immediately after opening and without food, but the wine grew on me, playing surprisingly well with seafood, cheese / dairy, even lightly acidic dishes and red meat. Our courses: Canape: Black Point Oyster, tomato dashi, cucumber, basil First: - Beef tartare, farm beets, anise hyssop: Finely minced beef and beets were visually indistinguishable, served atop an anise hyssop leaf. We were instructed to eat everything together as though it were a hand roll. - Sea scallop crudo, cucumber, shiso, gooseberry: Sea scallops were pleasantly firm, just yielding enough, and interestingly reminiscent of the cucumber in texture. The gooseberry-based sauce was quite tart and little bit tannic, a fascinating stand-in for more familiar lemon. Second: - Tomme bottoni, green garlic, chive, chervil: Pasta "buttons" were filled with mellow, nutty Tomme cheese and topped with tendrils of flavorful micro greens, both from Rock Cobble Farm. Interestingly, this was the dish that paired best with the Rossese wine. - Grilled summer squash, skate wing, wild rose, red currant, mint: The rose had quite a concentrated fragrance, but was incorporated so gently and thoughtfully into the dish -- as pretty petals garnishing the dish, blended into the sauce, and in the poaching liquid for the skate -- that it was not overwhelming. Third: - Beef flat iron, green beans, bb carrot, lemon balm butter: The beef was perfect: perfectly seasoned, perfectly juicy, cooked to medium rare and wonderful with the lemon balm butter. -Steelhead trout, tomato jam, wood sorrel: The surprise star was the peppery pop of nasturtium flowers sprinkled atop. Fish was oversalted, but otherwise expertly handled. Cheese (a kind gift of the chef): a bloom, a gouda, and a tomme, all sourced from Rock Cobble Farm's dairy cows + spelt crackers Dessert: Summer berries, farm yogurt, sunflower granola, chocolate, lemon balm: Such a fun play of textures and flavors. The essence of summer berries captured perfectly. Black walnut miso pot de creme, blueberry, creme fraiche, sesame: Clever use of blueberry, present as a concentrated powder sprinkled atop the pot de creme, and alongside the creme fraiche and sesame tuille. Ore Hill's kitchen does a wonderful job of highlighting the flavors of intensely fresh ingredients and not impeding their clarity. I'm not sure where Chef Carbone's and Chef Anderson's visions overlap, begin, and end. But whatever they're doing to collaborate -- it is delicious without doubt.
