Chicken was mediocre and it was a buffet and that was the only protein offered. Very disappointed with the whole experience and doubt I would go back.

Wanted to note that they now serve alcohol, as another reviewer mentioned they didn't. They have a full dining room plus a bar area, and both are equally nice. We went on a weekday evening and the place was fairly empty. Please do yourself a favor and check them out!

Highlight of this restaurant: amazing food but do not serve alcohol…read more Read on for our full experience - This restaurant used to be Maura's Kitchen, on Alden Place. It's a bit off the main street traffic and not advertised as they should. We were in the mood to try something new so decided to give this place a shot on a Friday night. The place was completely empty and I was a bit worried that this is not going to be a good meal. Once seated, the waiter brought a basket of tortillas chips and salsa to the table. My kids immediately attacked it. The salsa was not spicy so they really enjoyed it. A quick look at the menu we realized they don't serve alcohol, a bit disappointed but not a deal breaker. They did have many Virgin drinks such as sangria, Pina colada, Margarita, etc. I found their menu to be a bit all over the place. They have a Spanish section but also have burgers and sandwiches as well as Italian pasta dishes. Their appetizer also contains taco bowls and burritos which should be in main dish section?! The soup are also quite expensive, but maybe because they are big portions? The menu also don't give much description for the Spanish food (I'm no expert), so we made our orders and hoped for the best. The kids wanted milkshakes and I asked the waiter to split 1 order into 2 cups so they can share it. He was super nice to do so without charging extra. As the dishes come out, our worries were put to ease. Everything was absolutely delicious. Hubby had the shrimp sauteed (Camarones Saltados), big portions with a side of rice and salad. It was light and well seasoned, the rice were also very flavorful. I had the Mexican stew, which was tender pork in tomato based soup with fresh onions, lettuce and avocado on top. Comes with tortillas chips, green dipping sauce (guacamole-like, but not as thick), and a very spicy hot sauce (which I ended up adding to the soup as it was absolutely yum), and a side of rice. My daughter ordered the Garlic shrimp - she opt for mashed potatoes on the side. I was surprised to find the garlic shrimp was in a creamy sauce, but it was so good! I want to take that sauce home and add rice or pasta to it!! You can tell that the mashed potatoes were made from real potatoes. It has nice chunks to it and the color is slightly yellow. So good! My son had the calamari and it was served on a bed salad with lettuce, tomato, radish, and banana peppers. The creamy dipping sauce was so good too. We really wanted dessert but was so full from dinner that we'll have to plan better next time. All in all, great place with top notch food. I would give the food 5 but knocked 1 down due to no alcohol. We will definitely come back to try more dishes!!

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.

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.

It's located in a very non conspicuous spot at the corner of Clove Branch & 82 - I think I could have driven past this place and not realized that it was there- which is very unfortunate because the food is amazing. My husband thought that it would be a typical Jamaican restaurant with the steam tables and a takeout area. But nope- it is legit restaurant with a full bar and a very nice sit-down area. It was such a change from what we were used to. We ordered oxtail and jerk chicken. I have to say that the jerk sauce was absolutely delicious- it was creamy and just the right amount of spice - I could taste all the flavors of the jerk. My husband had the oxtail, and he said it was delicious and spicy too. We've been to many Caribbean restaurants, and they miss the mark because they try to Americanize the food by taking down the flavors or spices. They don't realize that we went to a Caribbean restaurant because we WANT the flavors of your country otherwise, we would have just went to Outback. The waitstaff/ owner was very enjoyable and knowledgeable. It is so exciting to know that we have this kind of place in Hopewell Junction, NY!!!!! We will most definitely be back-
