Stissing House is a special experience that goes beyond dining. It is the coziest, warmest, most inviting ambiance of any restaurant I've ever visited. The entire restaurant is lit my dim candlelight and fireplaces. Very purposeful, very chic. You're greeted by a waiting room with a fireplace and a huge hearth. You can sit here and enjoy the fire and peanuts while you wait for your table. Our table also had a fireplace right in front, a prime location with a spacious setup. We also had our daughter with us in a highchair and they were very accommodating. This is our second visit. Some highlights are the BREAD, wood fired scallops, artichoke mayo, CHICKEN. They didn't had the bone marrow oysters on the menu this time, but I highly recommend if you see them. Really wanted to shoutout the chicken. I am a roast chicken snob (I've had a lot) and this is probably the best roast chicken I've ever had. So flavorful, so moist, perfectly seasoned fresh, happy, healthy chicken that probably lived a nice life on a pasture in Hudson valley. The chicken is from Snowdance Farm, and it is a very special bird. This is a destination restaurant. Worth the drive from the city and great excuse to spend a couple nights upstate. Make reservations as soon as they open!

Excellent bread. Would've loved the butter to have been salted, but we fixed that!

Went here for date night with another couple. Ambience right off the bat gets 5 stars from me. Appreciated easy parking, and that there were sort of sections into which people were seated as opposed to just one large dining room. That helped with conversation, as some people have complained in other reviews about noise and not being able to hear people. We did fine. I would rate the starters/small plates as absolutely excellent -- in fact, when we go back (which we definitely will), I'm likely to order a bunch for my meal as opposed to an entree. Get the ham -- I'm not kidding, it's like nothing you've ever had. Small plate of cheese -- again, the type, the accompanying mustard or aioli or anything else that came -- excellent. You HAVE to get an order of the chips. Yes, it's a requirement (ok, I just made that up -- but trust me). Flavorful, not greasy. Basically, any appetizer you see where you're thinking, "I'm really not a _______ person," order that thing, and it'll change your mind. Entrees -- everyone enjoyed theirs (2 steaks, 2 chickens), but I'll be honest, I didn't particularly like the chicken. I was surprised because everyone had raved about it -- one of our friends had had it before and loved it; our server said it was their favorite thing on the menu. Although it was cooked perfectly, the flavor of the sauce didn't do it for me and I ate maybe half of it. Now let's talk about DESSERT. Save room. We shared a sundae -- but our server also overheard us talking about another one of the desserts and just brought us a sample of it, no charge. This is, I think, the difference between a restaurant that is simply transactional: "You ordered this, I'll bring you this" -- and one that's thinking about the overall experience and what would bring you back. And as a result I want to go back. She is an expensive night out, especially if you order drinks, so will need to wait for another special occasion. But if you are looking for a higher end, special date night that doesn't feel stuffy, definitely check out Stisson House.

Fish pie
Dolonchapa C.

What an absolutely fabulous outing! Just an hour (give or take) from the city and you're in for a treat. Everything we tried was genuinely top-notch -- I won't even bother "highly highly recommending" individual dishes because... it's all that good. The house bread and butter (beautifully presented, by the way) is a must. Go hungry -- I mean it. The house chips? Don't write them off as "just chips." They are fantastic. I came specifically for the fish pie and the rabbit, and wow did I choose well. Both were hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor -- like fine dining that decided to put on its coziest sweater. The coconut cake was unbelievably light and airy, and that cream? Chef's kiss. We sampled a few cocktails and every single one delivered -- especially the martinis. Please put this place on your list. The service is impeccable, the space nails that "rustic but fancy" vibe, and somehow it manages to feel warm, cozy, elevated, and not the least bit stuffy. You'll love it.

One of their wonderful special martini's
Denise M.

I am so happy to have finally had the opportunity to dine at the Stissing House. It did not disappoint. The moment you arrived you are greeted by the wonderful staff who clearly understand hospitality. Once seated the knowledgeable staff continued to impress. The food was delicious from beginning to end. Thank you for the amazing meal!

Winter Citrus Salad
Ariel K.

We had a wonderful dinner at Stissing House. The entire restaurant is lit by candles, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere that's perfect for a date night. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. The winter citrus salad is a must try, and the sticky toffee sundae was the perfect way to end the meal. It's a bit pricey, but you truly get what you pay for. Simple, authentic, and a great example of the Upstate New York dining experience.

artichoke
Hana K.

Not sure why the reviews are so low for this historic, beautiful, and charming restaurant, but me and my friends had a lovely time. We walked in a couple minutes before opening on a Sunday night without a reservation, and were told bar seating had just run out. We were welcomed into the sitting room that had comfortable seating and a roaring fire, where we had drinks and the most perfect salt and vinegar chips with pickles. A very kind server also brought us out cups of broth on the house and it was incredibly flavored and comforting. We thoroughly enjoyed waiting and it didn't feel long at all! When we got seated at the bar, we already knew what to order and the food did not disappoint. The bartenders/servers were all so kind and helped us with ordering! Daniel was our exceptional server and even brought out an extra ice cream for us on the house! Please get the artichoke, the trout, and the chicken!! We had an incredible time and will be coming back!

Gelato dessert with prosecco
Donna U.

Amazing, worth the 2 hour drive for this any day of the week. Had a bit of a slow start, the staff maybe was overwhelmed, but they made up for it and more by their service and generosity. Started with the chips which were salt and vinegar. Normally I would hate this, but I found myself reaching for them over and over again. Next I had the scallops which were the highlight of the meal. They had a green garlic sauce that was amazing. The fish pie came next and it was enough for two people. I actually split it with a friend and it was the perfect amount. Ended with just about every dessert they offered. Coconut is not an ingredient I eat, but their cake was great. There was not a single bad bite on the table, well done to this restaurant.

Pumpkin ice cream
Shawn H.

Incredible -- very worthy of all the hype, and worth the hike. The bread/butter, scallops, squash/hot peppers, little green salad, chicken, and halibut were all perfect. I'd order all of these again, or sub them all out because there were so many other amazing looking items. They were also very nice and made buttered pasta for our kids, and had vanilla ice cream for them for dessert.

Artichoke
Anastassia G.

City girl here with high expectations. Absolutely immaculate vibes and incredible food. Came on a Sunday right before doors opened, already was a line out the door. Couldn't get a seat at the bar right away, but got to wait in the lounge, where you can order drinks and snacks. Fantastic! Didn't mind the wait at all, cozy by the fireplace. Finally it was time for dinner and boy did they deliver! Was told the chicken was a classic, on the menu since they opened, so had to try. Best chicken we've ever had. Crispy on the outside, so juicy and tender inside. Artichoke and cup of broth also highly recommend. Seafood stew was lacking salt/flavor. Scallops were solid. Coconut cake is a must! Servers were excellent and all staff were very kind.

The butter!!! I wanted to steal this. LOL.

It was slightly on the crisp side (unintentional I'm sure) but had great flavor. It was served with some homemade basil infused ricotta and fresh cherry tomatoes. A wonderful treat for the tastebuds but the ratio of cheese to focaccia was off and we ended up eating the last third of the bread dry. Even dry it was great. My wife had the chicken pasta dish and I had the Kinderhook smash burger. This was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Fresh beef, fresh toasted sesame bun, fresh arugula and a most wonderful burger sauce that made every bite a joy. My wife raved about the pasta and the bite (or two) she shared with me was fantastic. She tried a bite of my burger and she too felt it was one of the best she's had also.

Indoor seating was adequate and well utilized on a chilly October day. Busy on a Sunday afternoon. Parking lot is large and adequate. Bathroom was clean. Service was good and surprisingly fast. Staff were all quite nice. You order at the counter and they bring the food and drinks to your table. The line to order was short. They have some interesting bar games, I'll try next time. My wife got a Brut Pick Your Own Raspberry IPA and she enjoyed it. Got food: Vegan Impossible burger was good, I was grateful for the offering, the bun could use some improvement. Wife got regular beef burger and enjoyed, same mushy bun. Brussel sprout salad was good and healthy. We would not order the pretzel bites again, looked like sliced up bagels with goop on top. Fries, large size is very large, appropriate for more than 2 people. Corn fritters were enjoyable. This is a brewery more than a restaurant. Brewery offering is large. Food is limited because it is coming from a food truck. Still, they keep things moving fast. Vegan choices are limited, but I appreciate their awareness. This place would be great if they could elevate their food scene. They have a Trivia night, every 2 weeks and we will come back for that. Helpful?
