Saisonnier serves bar finger food. It has no kitchen. Sandwiches, salads and salumeria are cut at the bar. The sandwich is a panini and was good. The plates lack some design and garnish! Cucumbers and cocktail fruits are from jars. The food is tasty but amounts are small. The beer and drinks list satisfies. Review: 5 read more

Every town needs a place like Saissonier. The grilled cheese sandwiches are delicious. My favorites are the blue cheese and the Spanish soppressata.

Tremendous beer selection, cozy atmosphere with large table in barn area for grazing in their excellent charcuterie. Conveniently located in downtown kinderhook. On street parking so get there early and stay late. Good times with good friends kind of place. read more

A nice selection of beers, a well put together cheese board, all made for a good dinner. But what will keep me coming back. Their grilled cheese. The grilled Blue Cheese and the grilled Kimchi were delicious. Crispy sourdough outside, soft gooey center, each cheese and it's accompaniment perfectly balanced, a crunch with every bite. I've had fancier grilled cheese sandwiches, but you don't need fancy if the execution is perfect. It was here. read more

Great food and the service was good. A nice find in a great little town. I had grilled cheese and my daughter had the fried bologna sandwich

Visited here today and everything was amazing from the drinks and food!! The selections were amazing and I have a feeling that any of the food would be appetizing. Will definitely be returning! read more

Fun spot for a beer and sandwich. The decadent and little spicy twist on a Reuben with a duck, kimchi Reuben was fantastic.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this spot. The sandwiches are unreal. I mean, who doesn't love a local beer and cheese stop?! Flavors are booming here and their grilled cheeses aren't playing. So many options and honestly your belly will thank you. You will leave super satisfied. read more

Our second visit this past weekend. We live about 40 minutes away, so it's a nice outing when we're itching to go somewhere out of town. Kinderhook is lovely. We just love this place. First time we had a charcuterie board. This time we shared two of the grilled cheese sandwiches and a mug of tomato soup. It's a cozy, friendly place. We sat at the bar this time. Our favorite sandwich was the Frenchie, with raclette and carmelized onions. The soup was outstanding. The beer choices, both draft and bottled, are excellent. My wife had cider; they have only two, but she was very happy with the one recommended. read more

The best beer, anywhere, and always new beers to try. Amazing gourmet delicacies, at a great price...the duck reuben is spectacular. And everyone is authentically friendly...a Kinderhook treasure! read more

Lets get into it: as you walk into this small bar instantly draws you in where your nostrils are met with the smell of melted cheeses eloping in the crispiness of fresh bread. I had the landlords board, very good, the cheese didn't have much of the taste but everything else complimented each taste. The spicy grilled cheese, ugh amazing. I thought I would be picky about the peppers but ended up LOVING it. The crunch of the bread made it even better. I wish I could of tried their other grilled cheese options. UGH so good. read more

What an excellent and quaint beer bar with stunningly creative and crisp grilled cheeses. (I had one with bayley hazen blue, cheddar, and a fig spread, on sourdough. Lots of attention to detail, and the balance of cheeses was perfect Beer selection is very well curated and diverse here with all the local rock stars hits from Suarez to imported lambics. A real local, neighborhood vibe, that fits nicely within the downtown of historic kinderhook. Outdoor seating and heat lamps available during covid. Worth a pop by to support a local gem. read more

Amazing spot for a break on our route back home from upstate. The town of Kinderhook was adorable (a town that looks exactly as it sounds) and this lovely little restaurant and bar gave us the perfect excuse to enjoy it. Beer selection was excellent and local. Food was delicious and interesting and the service was excellent. During the pandemic we care a lot about places taking mask wearing and infection control seriously and thought this place was top notch. Felt very safe and happy to have a lovely spot to enjoy outside. read more

We have been to Saisonnier a number of times and besides the very interesting and wide variety of beers that they have plus a selection of ciders and wines, they have amazing sandwiches. These are pressed creations in some kind of Panini press where the ingredients and combinations are mouthwatering. We often get the grilled cheese which uses a Plymouth cheddar cheese, which is an incredible taste and cheddar unlike any that I've had, and the bread is always so crunchy and juicy probably from some application of butter and oil that when its subject to pressing creates such a crunchy juicy succulent crust I have to bang my head against the wall just to accentuate the experience. Today we got the same but there was an opportunity to add some kind of ham to it for an extra $2.50 which we did. That was certainly a delicious addition but it did not need it in my opinion. The beers we got were a helles which my girlfriend got and really enjoyed and I got a session IPA, and a Suarez Pilsner.The session IPA was a vitamin sea baby waves session IPA. I was looking for a beer that had a little bit of bitterness in it and I feel like that task has been so evasive in past months with the prevalence of glorified grapefruit juice tasting New England IPAs being so universal in bars. This session IPA barely had any bitterness but the bartender suggested it as the closest to anything even a little bitter when I expressed my desire for some bitter flavor. I understand there is a craze for the NEIPAs but I am tired of them and long for some bitterness in beers which is so hard to find in any style. Its so hard to find any West Coast IPAs. Sometimes beers need to have a little bit of bitterness but there is such a craze right now for sweet beers New England IPAs, dessert beers, milkshake IPAs, sweet imperial stouts. Yes they are interesting but not every single time. But eventually like everything else this craze will move to another eventually. I also got a Suarez nimble pilsner. It's my first experience with Suarez beers, many people have mentioned how much they like Suarez so I wanted to finally try something from them. This is a very tasty beer had a delicious biscuit toasty flavor and great color and clarity. Saisonner is a very interesting comfortable spot that always offers delicious food and drink, I just need some bitterness in my beer now and then. Beer can be sweet beer can be balanced so that the bitterness and the sweetness accent each other and balance each other and then beer can be bitter. I would like the menu to include a few more beers that have a heavier bitter presence. read more

I am so glad I found this place while on a trip to the area. It's really cozy inside and smells like melting cheese. Mmmmm.... I got a cheddar cheese grilled cheese and a bottle of wine and both were delicious. The grilled cheese is perfectly cooked - crispy on the outside and melty on the inside. (They do takeaway bottles of wine for half price!) They also had a TON of really great looking craft beers but I didn't get any. Next time. Once COVID is over, I will definitely go back and sit at the bar for a beer and cheese night! In the meantime, go here if you want delicious grilled cheese, unique craft beer and a welcoming atmosphere. Also, I felt very safe given COVID - the inside is clean and everything is socially distanced and mask wearing enforced. read more

What a great find! I was recommended to try this place out at another local business. We've had a place nearby in the Hudson Valley for a few years now and what I've thought was missing was a good place for good beer. It's missing no longer! Cozy spot in a historic building.Great craft beers - in cans and on tap. Wonderful sandwiches and great cheese. Can't wait to go back again and again. (And to send our guests to!) read more

I love this place. It has a charming atmosphere- an old world vibe to me. Fantastic beer selection, great wine and amazing sandwiches and cheese boards!

I'm so glad we stopped here. My wife and I were looking for a spot for lunch on our way back to CT from the ADK mountains. Waze took us down Rte 9 instead of the Taconic and boy am I glad they did. The 3 Sandwiches we got to go we're delicious. My 9 year old son loved the Grilled Blue Cheese, North Fork chips and special sodas! I enjoyed the Chèvre & Honey and my wife raved about the Bahn Mi. I wish we could have stayed and had one of the many craft beers on tap. Only thing I wish was better was the selection of cheeses to purchase but given COVID-19, it wasn't that big a deal. read more

Come to Saisonnier for great vibe. people, food, and beer! Possibly the best grilled cheese anywhere!

Where to start?! Absolutely fantastic place and we couldn't be happier to have this quality of beer, cheese, service, and attention to detail that they bring at the Saisonnier. We had the Columbia County cheese board and 2 Pixie Dust beers, happy to learn about the owners passion and the locally sourced products. Bring the family, the guys, or a date and you won't regret it. read more

Excellent service, great vibe, food is delicious , especially the bread!! Highly recommended!

Huge selection of new beers all the time, cute spot. Variety of sandwiches. :).....

Great atmosphere, the gherkin pickles are addictive, and the grilled cheese optikns are great for a vegetarian!

Super service, delicious food and the Duck Reuben is not to be missed! We liked it so much, we even got Saisonnier t-shirts!

Every time I come I have had an amazing experience. The food and drink is good on so many levels! There is a purpose to each mouthful; an intention to the way each drink coordinates with the cheese or bread or jam or ANYTHING you order! You are guaranteed to participate in a relaxing environment that encourages all your senses to awaken! Small but great selection of perfection. Don't change a thing! read more

This place is great. Beautiful renovation of a historic building. The bar is beautifully designed, and during the day the sun pours in as you eat and drink. The pate sandwich and Ploughman's board were delicious. The owners have clearly thought out the beer selection very carefully. There are so many amazing beers here, I want to try all of them. I had the Grimm Afterimage and the Tired Hands Honey I Love You on tap which were both fantastic. I also got a few bottles to go - the Saison Dupont and the Allagash Pick Your Own. It's so great knowing there is such a well curated and thought out bottle shop in the area, that also serves interesting, local cured meats and cheese plates and has so many beers on tap. The owners and the staff are all really knowledgable about what they're doing. They're super friendly and can talk to you about what they're serving and why they carry it. The pickles are incredible too. Go sit and drink and eat and enjoy. Highly recommend. read more

Great beers and genius grilled cheese w/kimchi sandwiches - nice people, too! Good outdoor seats to celebrate end-of-pandemic, too.
