    When Rhinebeck village is too busy to find a table, head down to Kip's Tavern in Rhinecliff. Excellent, friendly service. Great food! Birthday celebration with my daughter...aperol spritz, chicken pot pie and Kip's famous burger and fries!

    Wow, an absolute GEM in rhinebeck. We were visiting rhinebeck for the fall foliage half marathon last weekend. Our airbnb was close to the restaurant and we decided to walk over for dinner. What a wonderful spot! Warm and cozy environment. The decor is lovely as well as the music. All of the wait staff is lovely. We had absolute fresh bread delivered to our table. I have had a LOT of bread in my life and this was just...one of the absolute best! We then shared a chicken pot pie, tagliatelle, and chicken cutlet. Everything was spiced to perfection. We liked this spot so much we returned for brunch the next day - another 10/10 experience! I had the pancakes and a mimosa to celebrate my run. Do not miss this hidden gem!!! Can't wait to go back!!!

    If you are in the Rhinecliff, Rhinebeck, or the surrounding area, you must stop by Kips Tavern. The ambiance, the decor, the service, and the food were delicious. Absolutely outstanding. Definitely check it out when you're in town.

    Had a delicious dinner here tonight. We had a reservation at 730pm but we went early and they were able to seat us! Service is impeccable. We sat a wobbly table and ended up spilling our drinks all over ourselves. Our waiter Emmanuel and owner/manager Christopher immediately came over, moved us to another table and replaced our spilled drink. My husband had the chicken cutlet which he raved about and I had the chicken pot pie which was delicious! The crust was perfectly crispy. Thank you for a great meal!

    Easy access to the train in Rhinecliff.

    We got lucky with beautiful weather and scored a table outside on the patio overlooking the river. We watched the beautiful sunset as we drank our Aperol Spritz's. We enjoyed pigs in a blanket and I had the salmon and my fellow diner had the chicken paillard. Both were flavorful and delicious as were the fries that we shared. The service was kind and attentive but not too fussy. The overall energy was really good both inside and out. I just wish they were open for dinner on Sunday so I could have enjoyed that before getting on the train. Will definitely return.

    Food is really delicious and reasonably priced. The cocktails were great and watching the sunset over the Hudson was amazing.

    Another must visit gem of a restaurant. Top shelf bartender, thoughtful mains, and a great ambiance. Worth traveling to.

    I have driven past this small cafe several times, and always wanted to check it out. I finally did…read moreyesterday, with my granddaughter. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It is VERY small inside, I was expecting a bit more room. If you sit outside, it is backed up to a junkyard/car repair place which is not very quiet or pleasant. We ordered the veggie burger with fries, and a beef burger with fries. They will not allow you to sub a salad for the fries. I saw rave reviews about the house made veggie burger, but personally, I was not impressed, and thought it was bland. The burgers were big, and difficult to eat, so we had to cut them up. The fries are also large & house made, and were good. I ordered a tossed salad with chicken to go for my husband. Chicken was good, salad was basic (tomato, avocados and onions). To put this in perspective, the food was on the expensive side, so we expected more. The bakery items are delicious. All together, for the 3 meals, 3 drinks and 2 bakery items, it came to $110 (plus tip). This may be reasonable for some, I guess it depends on location. Rhinebeck does tend to be expensive. They seemed to be somewhat busy with to-go orders. I guess it's one of those places you just have to check out, and decide for yourself! It's not a place I plan to return to.

    I devoured the veggie burger and then I devoured the book! Best veggie burger I've ever had and…read morethe fries are something to write home about! PS : I don't like red velvet cake either!
