My family spent several days at a rental home a mile or so from Gracie's and, naturally, had to…read moregive the local diner a try. Gracie's is an elevated diner experience...all the breakfast and brunch things you could want, but up a couple levels from a classic greasy spoon diner. Not dissing the greasy spoon diner experience...love that...but this is based in that historical experience, with an overall nicer experience in terms of food and atmosphere. Also, before we get into the specifics, here are 2 words which would bring me in from just about anywhere: Donut menu. Yes, they make their own donuts here, and that's enough reason to stop in, take out, or worship at the front door. We got our donuts to go after the meal...The coffee was GREAT. Too often, coffee, which should be the opening star of a diner experience, can be flavorless, browned water. Here it was good. Bold as I needed it to be, and the perfect foundation for the rest of the meal. My next go-to if they have it brunch experience is biscuits. They have them...you can get a biscuit on its own or, heck, go for a mini biscuit basket! I live for a biscuit-forward establishment. The Full Breakfast (submitting biscuit or potatoes for the meat) would have been my choice, but I decided to roll my own and ended up with a biscuit, fruit cup, and side of Hash Browns. The biscuit was good, large, and perfect with butter and honey. They make the hash browns to order - large hash brown patties - and with 2 different orders of them at the table, one was overcooked, too brown, and not impressive...but the other was perfect and delicious...bordering on potato pancake territory in presentation and flavor. Our server was fantastic...we had a large party encompassing 3 different tables in the middle of a Sunday morning (On Easter no less), which is, of course, the busiest time of the week. She was friendly, enthusiastic, and never made us feel rushed. If I found myself in the Hudson Valley again, Gracie's would be a definite destination for me.

The space is beautiful, ingredients are all fresh and outstanding, and there's clearly a love for the spot from everyone working at Casa Susanna. The cocktail menu is unique and fun. Yes you could get a margarita, but everything on the menu is so interesting from Raicilla drinks to Carajillos, there's so much to love. The space feels like a film set and you need to make sure you get a reservation so you can enjoy rather than sitting outside or at the bar. Surprisingly reservations were harder to come by than expected the weekend I was there. The dishes are all great, with the Duck being my standout dish, just perfectly cooked and really exemplifying the beauty of Hudson Valley + Mexican cuisine. The tetela was also a real standout despite the simplicity of the dish. It leaned into good mexican food, withou ttrying to do too much. Each and every cocktail was fun and good! We'll be back, but not too often. The prices are high, and match the quality of the ingredients, but at $100 a person or more, it was not cheap.

Since they are already finalists, according to James Beard, I'll spend this review explaining more…read morewhy I only gave it three stars. The food in general was well prepared, delicious and certainly had a sophisticated knowledge of spicing in flavoring. But it's more the minor details that stops an experience from being a really wonderful one. So here are some details, you may think I'm crazy or you may relate. The first was coffee: they didn't have decaf and they don't have half-and-half. I'm not going to speculate why, but for quite a few of us decaf is a true pleasure and it'd be nice to have that available. To the waitresses credit she offered to bring me milk and cream, so I could make my own half-and-half? That was a first! The second was the hot chocolate: the actual hot chocolate was quite delicious, Mexican style with some cinnamon. But it was topped with a mountain of whipped cream and some small crunchy pieces. I think it's pretty standard nowadays that when you're going to top a drink like that the staff tends to ask whether you like whipped cream or not. I really dislike whipped cream so had to scoop all that stuff off. The next one was just simply funny: when you're ordering a side order of eggs, one option they list on the menu is a sunny side up egg, one of the other options is to have a "fried egg". I asked the waitress what exactly a fried egg was, she didn't know. She asked the chef, and apparently they didn't know either. So I ordered it over easy, hoping that was doable, but I just got a sunny side up egg instead. And lastly, was the ambience: the space is quite nice and comfortable, but if you're sitting in the outer ring near the windows and it's a very cold winter day (which it was when we ate) expect to be cold in there. They kindly offered to hang our coats, but I had to keep mine on the whole time. Maybe if the insulation and heating system is unable to keep up, you bring in a couple space heaters for the day?

We sampled a few things - kale Caesar salad was very fresh (maybe local) with dressing that didn't come from a bottle. Light and flavorful but filling with a good sized portion. The iceberg wedge salad with blue cheese was presented elegantly in 4 sections and again the dressing was first rate. We got a cup of the spicy chili and also a side of onion rings...the chili was a unique texture of smooth and chunky with just the right amount of heat. Came with a buttery cornbread muffin. Someone knows how to bake. The onion rings seemed homemade too and while the serving was small the flavor and crunch was awesome. Only reason not rating as a "5" was that service was slow and a touch indifferent...but the food was worth waiting for.

We had eaten breakfast about an hour prior, so I wasn't feeling hungry at all... but that quickly changed upon first bite of my meal. I ordered the Savory Porridge, which came with a soft boiled egg, oyster mushrooms, chili crisp sauce (resembles Chinese Lao Gan Ma), and was topped with crispy rice noodles. This. Was. Incredible. I can't stress enough how perfectly the flavors, textures, and ingredients came together. You'll understand what I mean upon first bite. I also had bites of the Grapefruit Brûlée and Biscuit. Both were such a delight. The biscuit was shockingly incredible... on par with high tea in London. The ambiance was festive (came the weekend after Christmas), cozy, and charming. Amazing experience all around.

We were looking for a late night bite after a bit of a disappointing dinner (I promise I'm not…read morealways negative) and stumbled upon this because their kitchen was open later and it was within walking distance. We walked in and there was a decent amount of people sitting at the bar and a few tables available. The place is juuuust the right size to be cozy but also spacious. Also for a classified 'dive bar' it was pretty clean as well. They had a good draft list (according to my boyfriend) and the service was very quick and friendly. Additionally, prices were very fair. Now to the best part, the chicken sandwich. Wow! Just wow! I ordered the Killah Bee and it was perfect. It was breaded to perfection and definitely not previously frozen! The chicken itself was a large piece, maybe 2? The sauce was sooo good. The fries were your basic fries but it didn't matter because the sandwich was the star of the show. Do yourself a favor and order a side of ranch. I think it's homemade and it's sooo good. (And I'm extremely qualified to judge ranch) Long story short, just go here and order the chicken sandwich. (With a side of ranch)

I love seafood so very excited to get fresh seafood here! For the main I had a grilled black bass that was incredible, cooked to perfection. My wife had one of their vegetarian offerings - a zucchini pasta - that was also very flavorful. The portions were so generous that we didn't have room for dessert, but we did spy the cheesecake at the table next to ours which looked yummy and also a very generous portion. All in all a terrific restaurant, and I'd be thrilled to go back again.

My husband ordered Mike frites and they were very good. Frites even came with some homemade aioli I had the fried chicken on a bed of mash. But they should serve mash in the side as the Chicken got soggy. It was all well prepared and tasty. We really wanted a side of cooked greens.
