Every restaurant technically serves food from farms. Farm-to-table establishments take this one step further. They're committed to supporting local farms and producers. They're also committed to cutting out the middleman, such as a store, market, or distributor. Located in the heart of Tarrytown on Main Street, we decided to meet up for brunch at Sweet Grass Grill. The reservation was easily made via Yelp. Al fresco seating filled the sidewalks in front of the dog-friendly eatery, and the open door allows chitchat to move freely in and out, creating a lively yet comfortable vibe. Upon entering as first-timers, the wooden bar commands attention, where my partner, his family, and I were greeted by the staff. The bar top is made from a slab of wood salvaged from a single fallen oak tree on the Rockefeller Preserve. We got a cozy table at the front window inside a bright, airy interior with earthy accent colors. Their menu features rustic New American cuisine with many vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options that change with the seasons. We decided on the Veggie Buffalo "Wings" with a side of fries, the Grass-Fed Cheeseburger, the Mushroom "Cheesesteak," and Maine Mussels. Complimentary vegan banana bread started our meal. Every dish at our table was cooked to perfection, beautifully presented and full of flavor. Reasonable price, and the service was attentive, warm, genuinely welcoming, and patient. Our server was Terence. Voted Best of Westchester, it was a wonderful experience, and we can't wait for a repeat performance. read more

The fresh options really made this place in my opinion the most perfect it was so good and so fresh and I ordered sweet potato fries and they gave me a beet ketchup! Homemade ... it was delicious. It was beyond delicious. I asked for the recipe. Their salads are amazing. Their sandwiches are hearty and delicious fresh soups. This is the real deal. I would say if you go, go on an off time because it gets very busy. We actually went mid afternoon and we're able to get a table right out front. The food is really delicious and the service a solid five read more

Excellent neighborhood spot The room is cozy and inviting. Even when all of the tables are fiiled (make a reservation) you can still have a pleasant conversation and not feel crowded. The cocktails are particularly good - varied and original. The plates are tasty. The Arancini was very good. read more

Super cute little spot. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Vegan,vegetarian, and allergy friendly. Everything is labeled and anything that can be made vegan/vegetarian/or gluten free is also, labeled. It was nice takes a lot of the guess work out of the menu. They have a lot of menu items with mushrooms, which it was great to see! read more

I had a great experience here awhile back (I may have forgotten to post this review in a timely fashion) :). I sat at the adorable bar and the bar tender struck up a pleasant conversation and was very attentive. The food was very good and the ingredients were fresh! I also enjoyed my wine a good bit! This place is definitely worth visiting! read more

I just ordered a Caesar salad ($18) with chicken ($10 extra) . It arrived in a timely manner via UberEats. It was at best fair, the lettuce was fine, the Caesar salad dressing was bland and certainly not inspiring , the chicken ( not plentiful, thin sliced and dry with a huge absence of flavor) for the crazy high price I expected a truly yummy salad. Very disappointed. I feel like I was robbed! read more

The food especially the salmon is delicious! The service is excellent and it is very nice inside.

First off, downtown Tarrytown is really nice - it's like a combination of Europe and Hoboken and would really like to return. We came to Sweet Grass Grill for brunch, and the vibe and decor was pretty nice. The food was fine - albeit super greasy (egg sandwich, fries etc), but overall it was pretty good. The service was spotty and the bathroom was kinda gross - which is always a red flag for me. I'd probably return but would rather try a different spot in Tarrytown next time. read more

We came here for dinner on a Friday night. We had a reservation, but had about a 10 minute wait for our table. The restaurant is small and cozy, with low lighting and subtle decor. They have a fantastic selection of vegan and vegetarian options. We started the meal with complimentary gluten free bread and a white bean spread. The bread was soft, with a thick, crusty edge. The white bean dip was tasty. Would've loved if the bread was warm. The vegan cauliflower wings were the star of the meal. They actually looked like chicken wings. The dough had a crispy top layer, with tender cauliflower underneath. The sauce was tangy and succulent. We also had the burrata and squash salad. The pomegranate seeds offered a fresh burst of flavor. The burrata was soft, but not as creamy as other preparations. The salad was a good portion size, large enough for our group of four to share. For my main, I was adventurous and tried the vegan salmon. This is made by the Oshi brand, with the website prominently called out on the menu. The salmon texture was remarkably close to the real thing. It was moist and flaky, maybe just a bit denser than real fish. It had a crunchy top layer, which added nice texture, but I would've loved if it had a bit more citrus or spicy flavor. The parsnip puree was tasty, but the beets were fairly bland and overwhelmed the dish. Still, I was impressed overall. For dessert, we tried the basque cheesecake, which was dense, slightly squishy, and perfectly sweet. We also enjoyed the squash mousse. This was light and creamy, with unexpected spiced walnuts. Definitely worth a visit if in the area! read more

Very Expensive. Lunch for 2 with no alcohol costs as much as diner at a fancy restaurant. Not impressed by the grass fed beef hamburger. Kinda flavorless, dry, roll was at least a day old, French fries cold when meal arrived. Not coming back read more

Great service, wonderful vegan options, cozy space! We try to get here whenever we can!!

Service was good. We had a lovely kale salad. The service was fine and friendly. On the waiter's recommendation we had a fabulous dessert which we shared. read more

It's been a while since I've been to Sweet Grass Grill - actually it's been 10 years as that's the date of my last Yelp review from here and I know I hadn't been back since. Anyway, some of my college friends were visiting from Albany and since they used to live in Tarrytown they wanted to meet there for breakfast. Sweet Grass was one of their favorite spots, so they asked if we could go there - that being said, off we went. SGG is located on Main Street, right in the heart of the commercial hub of Tarrytown. The restaurant is pretty spacious - the interior has high ceilings with a good amount of space and large windows to let natural light in. The color scheme is light Earth tones and medium woods which add to the freshness of the space - they also have a small number of outdoor tables. The menu has a large selection of vegetarian options, though they do feature meat options too. We were technically there for brunch, so they offered a combination of breakfast and lunch dishes. They started us with some gluten free mini coconut muffins; these were pretty good but I'm not big on gluten free carbs (it's a texture thing). For my main I was feeling pancakes, but also wanted some protein to supplement and the Lumberjack Pancake seemed to fit the bill. This was a single buckwheat pancake paired with breakfast meat (I chose bacon), hash browns, and eggs (I chose sunny side up). The pancake was fine, it might have been the buckwheat but I prefer something fluffier; bacon, potato, and eggs were all good but nothing outstanding. Service was fine, albeit a little slow - everyone was friendly though which made the overall experience pleasant. While I enjoyed revisiting Sweet Grass Grill, I wouldn't call it my favorite spot in Tarrytown. It does, however, fill a popular niche and wouldn't be against returning - I'm just not running back. read more

Excellent food! Staff very friendly and accommodating. Not recommended for groups as space is limited.

We had lunch here recently and sat outside. It took a while for the server to come over initially, and then our food took a long time to come out as well, even though they were not busy. We had thought they forgotten about us. When our food did arrive, the server later said that the kitchen had made a mistake with our order and had to remake it. While the server gets points for noticing that to correct it, it would have been nice if they told us as it was happening rather than afterward to explain the long wait. Also, some of our food got cold while waiting for the rest to be remade. They have a variety of options for vegetarians, vegans, and those without dietary restrictions. Several healthier choices as well. Despite some of the food not being as warm as it should be, otherwise everything tasted pretty good. The sweet potato fries in particular seemed homemade and were tasty. read more

Very cute brunch spot in downtown Tarrytown with a menu for both vegan and non-vegan tastes. We came during weekend brunch and I have to say, I usually give places a pass for the quality of brunch - you have to get out a crush of orders and the dishes aren't the most inspired but tricky to time right (hello, eggs Benedict). The food we ordered wasn't the most consistent in terms of how we ordered it (for instance, both my mom and husband ordered eggs over easy and only the latter's was truly runny) nor were the portions super big but overall delicious and fresh. I liked the summer beefsteak tomato salad, the tomatoes full of flavor, and the chicken I added to the side was, while a bit dry, nicely seasoned and grilled. Everyone else joined the clean plate club. The service was very friendly, even with an enormous Chinese tour group that muscled in and laid claim to a table before it was ready. The manager came by to ask how everything was, which I appreciate for brunch. Public parking lot right next door. read more

Great food! Great bar and bartender! Great variety for vegetarians! Terrific seasonal farm to table options.

Dined in for lunch on a Friday afternoon and it was busy. Good thing we got there at noon because shortly after there were no free tables. We shared the burrata for an appetizer and I had the mixed green salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly and very moist. The salad was delicious. Cute little place to people watch main st and for dates. Go early before the lunch time rush if you don't want to be waiting for a table indoors. read more

Walked in at 5pm on a Friday without reservations. The restaurant was nearly empty, but every table filled by 6pm, so make reservations for popular, peak meal times. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Cozy, rustic vibe. Dimmed lighting, relaxing background music, simple wooden furniture & decor. Great spot for an intimate family/friend/romantic gathering. You will be able to enjoy conversation with your table companions even through slightly elevated noise levels. Our waiter deserves praise. He was patient while I took my time deciding between multiple options [everything sounded great--choosing was truly challenging], explaining different dishes, and answering my myriad questions. We were not rushed to vacate the premises even after finishing our meal, on a busy Friday night, as every table filled up and customers kept arriving. Enjoyed everything we tried. There is a lot to be said about doing justice to seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. $22 salmon fillet sandwich was an unexpected delight: highly recommend. Salmon fillet was a filling, generous portion--wish every salmon sandwich [or even fillet] was so amply cut and prepared. Juicy and well-seasoned. Not dried-up, like too many salmon fillets. Sweet potato fries were some of the tastiest I've ever had--and as a sweet potato fan, I've tried a loooooot! Perfectly seasoned and cooked [crunchy yet delicate]. The taste of locally sourced sweet potato was so pronounced--nothing like the bland root you get from your supermarket. Beet ketchup was a great condiment to juxtapose sweetness with umami, saltiness, and some sourness. $26 hen of the woods with purple yam puree was on the smaller side, but was filling thanks to the wintry, hearty ingredients. Original flavor profile. $9 Chocolate chia pudding was filling, yet light. Barely sweet, which is great for anyone watching their sugar intake, yet craving a sweet ending to their meal. Great portion for sharing. You won't feel guilty [or bloated] after such dessert--the healthiest option you can envision. Would return to try other items on the seasonally changing, locally sourced menu! read more

I came here for dinner with some friends and we were sat promptly without needing a reservation! The waitress and waiters were super attentive and there was bread and a really nice bean spread to start! The food was delicious! I absolutely loved the grilled chicken sandwich and it was so tender and warm and the side salad was also so good!! My friends also got their burger and pan fried salmon which looked amazing as well! The drinks were also delicious and there were really unique cocktails. I definitely recommend coming here for dinner, it's a great spot with friends and the whole place is so welcoming. read more

What a cute little place! I met Friends for lunch here and we were all quite happy with our choice of restaurant! We ordered the burger, the soup of the day, and the mussels. The burger was really juicy and delicious! I loved it! The mussels were very tasty in their broth and the crunchy bread that accompanied it was perfection. The soup was amazing, done perfectly. Our server was wonderful and efficient. We will definitely be back! read more

Amazing menu of vegan and gluten free options. All the food was prepared thoughtfully and I really appreciate the kale salad was pre massaged and tossed so it's a lot easier to digest. I also appreciated the slight slice and crunch of the toppings in the butternut squash soup. That definitely added a layer to this hearty warm meal. The beets were also very tasty and I loved the sauce. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of their vegan options! read more

The server was very nice. We did have an issue with a salad that was served with glaringly inappropriate rotten elements. It did bring to mind that they are not managing their produce or simply dumped a bunch of dressing, hoping the patron would not notice it. It also makes one wonder about their management of their other meal components. Note that the patron did not want to send back the item and just picked around the rotten parts, and left a large part untouched. The patron was not comfortable with the general notion that sending back a dish may result in getting served adulterated food in return. Note that the issue was identified to the server at the collection of dishes at the conclusion of the main service. The chef sent his apology for the oversight via the server. I was kind of surprised at the lackluster response to the issue, not likely to return. I really don't need to be comped for a drink, or the dish, or even a dessert, but at least an explanation about what/why it happened, or something more direct and personal for spoiling a meal, an invitation to come back and make it better, any and all of these things would have been appropriate. read more

The food is always great, as is the service. I had a grilled chicken sandwich which was delicious.

From the outside-OK, from the inside-amazing food with a upscale casual decor. It's a small place and was loud with a group of about a dozen there, probably not that loud usually. Service was great and attentive without being over the top. The focaccia they put on the table to start melted in your mouth and the white bean served with it was great too. I had a Fighattan to drink which I liked since I am a fig fan. My wife had the Shaved Brussels Sprouts salad which was so tasty and had a great dressing on it. My Chicken Sandwich was very good. Desserts were Dark Chocolate Tart and the Olive Oil Cake. They have 2 other restaurants and can't wait to try them. read more

John C from Westchester. Visited this establishment for first time and probably last time, Just me and my wife this time, The waiter was great, I had a Negroni and glass was half full one tony piece of ice, Had a tomato salad,meager to say the least, main courses were very small, my wife's salmon was dry And my chicken was supposedly a half chicken it was so small it could have been a quarter of a chicken, Taste average at best, listen I don't mind paying but you have to put out a decent meal for folks, Again waiter was great a very nice guy, unfortunately not worth 150,dollars before tip for two people Not worth it at all read more

Delicious food, great service and nice, homey vibe. Can be a little loud when busy. Recommend making a resy!

I returned to Alfalfa for brunch with a buddy after a wonderful previous visit. The Cool as a Cucumber drink was great, but the food and service fell short. mine friend's black bean burger broke apart due to a rock-hard bread, while mine chicken sandwich did not meet expectations. It also had mayonnaise, which I cannot take and was not noted on the menu. The staff's answer was flippant, with little awareness of the problem. Disappointed, especially as I had previously like this location. read more

Excellent attentive service. Moreover the food is fabulous and there are plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians and healthy eaters. The vegan burger was delicious and well dressed, sweet potato fries were perfect and the gnocchi was some of the best we've ever had. The blueberry crumble dessert was ... I could have eaten it by the bucket and the fig cake was layered with ice cream and hit the spot. I love this place and drive an hour each way to eat here. read more

Lots of options on the menu for Plant Based dining. The food was very good. Mushroom based Crab Cake appetizer was exceptional. Gnocchi entree was also very good. I think Gnocchi is a real test of the quality of the chef. Server was very attentive and knowledgeable. After dinner coffee is made with French Press and was particularly good. They have a few local non-alcoholic beers too. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. If you are looking for vegan options in the Tarrytown area you will love Sweet Grass Grill. read more

Went here for lunch as I have had positive experiences previously. Unfortunately, this was a truly disappointing experience. I ordered a medium rare cheeseburger and received an extremely dry overcooked burger that would have been unacceptable at Burger King but at least would not have cost $23 dollars, as it does here. I mentioned to the server- her response was that she would "inform the chef"- I did not want to waste food so I ate of it what I could "doctored by salt and their trimmings". She never offered any other response. But totally unacceptable that there was no apology or even mention of trying to make it right- i.e. offer of to comp a dessert or tea. I really didn't want that- I would have preferred to have had a positive food experience. This is a local restaurant for me but after this experience, I will not be returning. Please go here with caution. read more
