The filet mignon sandwich was delicious, the steak was perfect , juicy and well bathed in sweet savory bourbon sauce, the blue cheese I was mixed on since it made bourbon sauce have funk to it, but worked, the bacon was great, still chewy and not crispy dry crumble. The toasted bread fell apart before the sauce. The truffle fries, I dogged them, usually places over season them and bury them in Parmesan cheese and seasoning, these were lightly seasoned with truffle oil and had a dusting of Parmesan cheese, plus they crispy as well. Overall a great meal. Also of sandwich had onion straws over the blue cheese it would even better.

Occasionally a celebrity walks through this town and restaurants do cater to a higher end clientele so that tricks some people into thinking this town has a restaurant scene (including the higher end clientele) True foodies and individuals that enjoy high-end dining don't go to Millbrook and Canoe Hill definitely won't change that. It's a run of the mill restaurant with average service that has a "curated menu" with "locally sourced ingredients" and a "specially selected wine menu" it also has the usual uninspired modern farmhouse aesthetic and of course a Chef that gets great reviews and accolades from local magazines ....that just coincidentally he advertises in. I won't waste my time or your time getting into the meal I had here cause it was so unimpressively dull and flavorless. But to sum it up -- Don't waste your time, money or night out.

Babis was fantastic: personable, fun, attentive, and his recommendations were spot on. The meal was outstanding. The tender baby calamari was delicious, the pita bread was unbelievably light and cloud-like, and paired perfectly with the authentic tzatziki. Our short ribs and halibut were both exceptional. They also have a wonderful selection of creative non-alcoholic cocktails (pictured), and even the signature House of Stefas ice cubes were a fun detail. We finished with an espresso and cappuccino.. the perfect ending. Another fun surprise: the imported swan faucets in the restrooms. They're a rare and memorable touch. We will definitely be back.

House of Stefas is what happens when someone builds the restaurant you didn't know you were looking…read morefor your whole life and puts it on a quiet street where you almost walk right past it. There are multiple rooms. Every single one of them is designed to make you feel like you've been on a guest list this whole time and nobody told you. A written description won't capture it. I'm trying right now and I'm failing. You just have to go. We sat at the bar. The bar looks like the bar in The Shining if the Overlook Hotel had been run by people who actually wanted you to enjoy yourself and not get murdered. The staff are proud of the place and you can feel it, that specific warmth of people who know they're working somewhere worth working. Service like that can't be trained. You either care or you don't. These people care. The food is spectacular. The drinks are better than the food. I'm going to let that sit there because the food is spectacular. I'm not here to tell anyone how to live their life, but bringing your kids to House of Stefas is like using a Lamborghini to pick up mulch. You can do it. It's a free country. But this is a place you take someone when you want them to fall in love with you. This is the restaurant equivalent of a third date where everything goes right. I saw families dining here with children who would be happy with chicken fingers. I don't understand it. House of Stefas is doing things to my palate that I didn't think were possible in the Hudson Valley. Five stars. I would give six but the system won't let me and frankly that kind of restraint is probably healthy.

Does Martha Stewart have mid taste?…read more The renowned homemaker and chef extraordinaire ranks Stissing House as her favorite restaurant, but when my husband and I visited, we thought the food was just ok. While I understand the concept behind their cuisine - traditional American flavors pared down to its truest form - I found the food to be, for a lack of better word, bland. Sure, this boils down to preference (I enjoy complex flavors with lots of seasoning), but it's hard for me to sing its praises when the chicken tasted like chicken with a pinch of salt, the pork tasted like pork with a pinch of salt, and the vegetables tasted like vegetables with, you guessed it, a pinch of salt. That's the point, I suppose, but it's a point my taste buds don't particularly agree with. That's not to say the quality and the craft was not at its best. I'll give it to them: the chicken was juicy, the pork skin crisp, the vegetables cooked to perfection (not overcooked, not too al dente, but just right). The biggest disappointment was the sesame puffs with ice cream. Seeing this on the menu, I thought, "Great, a complex flavor!" but was let down at first bite when I found that, alas, I couldn't taste the sesame at all. It tasted like a regular ol' ice cream puff slathered in too-dark caramel. It would have been better paired with black sesame ice cream, but I fear it wouldn't fit their menu's flavor profile. I'm not discouraging people from coming here. By all means, try it! It's a charming location, the food is well prepared, the ingredients premium. It just didn't wow me, and that's perfectly alright.

I had a guava pablo and absolutely loved it. Since it was a weekday, I planned to stick to one drink, but after trying a sample of a frozen "piña colada" with a spicy touch, I couldn't resist. I am still thinking about that drink! My husband tried their beer, which was super cool that they had it, and the other frozen peach drink that he really liked, but I am still obsessed with mine. We also had soft pretzels and a guava empanada. The empanada was 10/10, reminded me of home (I'm Brazilian), but the pretzels were not great (we still ate everything). The cherry on top was the really friendly bartenders, with whom we had great conversations. We will be back!
