Just go elsewhere. Food was good but at this price point portion size was way too small. We left there and stop to get a slice of pizza because of how hunger everyone sill was. The mixed drink we got might as well been call mocktails for the amount of alcohol in them. read more

The Corner is a gem with excellent service, delicious farm-to-table food, a beautiful atmosphere and unique surroundings. We sat outside on the front porch and were able to capture the true Tivoli experience of neighbors walking by and waving to one another, families out together, people with their pets and an absolutely beautiful evening. We had a small dinner of apps and recommend them all. The lamb skewers were the perfect size and had an amazing dipping sauce. We also had the misto spring vegetables, which like all their veggies, came straight from The Corner's farm. They were perfectly fried so that the vegetables were tender and crispy. Lastly we had the trio of dips with focaccia and veggies and loved them all. read more

The Corner - Table setting - New American Near Me - Tivoli, New York

This place is such a gem. Extremely quaint hotel bar and restaurant, with great food and super friendly staff. We sat at the bar, we were served promptly, and we enjoyed both cocktails and food. Off the bar menu, we ordered wings, zaatar fries, and hummus. All were delicious and tasty. Great patio outside as well. We have dined out there before. Nice people watching, great service, and excellent food. read more

Delightful restaurant in the quaint town of Tivoli. Wonderful ambiance with local artists displayed on the walls to the handmade dishes. All this before the menu piques your curiosity! Service is warm and welcoming and not rushed. Start with warm rolls, sea salt and olive oil. Appetizers will tempt you though I suggest focusing on the main dishes and if there is room splurge on dessert. Prepare to be impressed and love this dining experience. This is what an evening out with family and friends is supposed to be. Enjoy! read more

The price to quality ratio seems extremely lopsided, even for this area. You'd pay about the same in an airport and find the same quality food. Even though our meal required minimal preparation, the kitchen had somehow found a way to skip some steps. The service, while polite, was admittedly overwhelmed even though there were several empty tables. I found little redeeming here aside from the nice decor and sunny patio. If you're in Tivoli and have time to spare I'm sure it's fine. Other patrons seemed to be enjoying the offering. Expect the equivalent of a lackadaisical picnic, but with table service. read more

Innovative menu, exceptional preparation and presentation, charming and knowledgeable servers all add up to an unforgettable dining experience. Thanks, folks! We'll be back. read more

We popped in to grab a few drinks before dinner in town and fell in love with the place. We were greeted by a happy and stylish staff that fit right into the environment. The menu has tasty morsels and had we not made prior engagements, the dinner menu would be spot on. We did get a dozen oysters that was served on a bed of seaweed with Prosecco mignonette. Make sure you make a trip to Tivoli and stop in for a few drinks or dinner. You won't be disappointed. read more

Outstanding meal in curated and sophisticated setting. We had the marinated olives to start in a unique preserved lemon marinade with delicious bread. My salmon was perfectly cooked with fried baby artichokes, asparagus and couscous, all delicious. The steak was wonderful as was the salad with asparagus and peas. Elevated dining, 5 star meal read more

We sat out on the side patio and enjoyed the great early September weather. Family enjoyed their food and the staff kept coming but to say hi and see if I needed more water. There were a couple of us four legged family members so we are all welcome. Great time and 5 paws from me read more

To make a long story short, the waitress of our 10 person birthday celebration tried to take away someone's dish while they were still eating it. The birthday girl was sitting there and touched the waitresses hand and said please don't take that. The waitress freaked and immediately received an apology. Meal is done and bill is paid (and tip). We begin to leave and the manager chooses to take the birthday girl aside to tell her she shouldn't touch the staff. WTF!!!! Wait person got an apology but chose to tell the manager and manager feels the need to tell her. Well now that expensive wonderful dinner will now be remembered as the ridiculous evening when a terrible waitress got a great tip and the manager doubled down and insulted a customer. We won't be coming back. I am now responding to management. Your staffs hand was not smacked. I saw what happened. It should never have been an issue as the person in question apologized instantly. Every once in awhile you as a place of business should know when to pick your arguments. We were easy customers even as a party of 10. And honestly what you do with the gratuity is up to you. I'm glad you are that secure that you don't think you owe the person you confronted an apology. read more

The kitchen is 5+ star-worthy -- seasonal, uber-creative and delicious. I'm a big fan of the chef. The food experience makes it worth it to go there -- for brunch or dinner. BUT the service is horrendous. It's like they stopped passersby and asked if they want to help out bringing out dishes. The hostess subbed as server and seemed to be totally uninterested in our dining experience. Weird. It seems the chef needs to sit down the staff pre-service and get them psyched about their role in serving up a dining experience that matches the high quality of the food. The bar is beautiful and the bartender very professional, friendly and competent, including offering to make me a mocktail which was inventive and delicious. I had a better time at the bar than at our dining table. This could be a fine dining experience except for the service which is lackadaisical. But go anyway! Also the owner's art design screams: LOOK AT THE ART! It looks like an art gallery rather than a designed restaurant -- garish rather than polished design. Yes, it's interesting, but still it's a place to eat, so some thought to making more restaurant-y would be appreciated. Hats off to the chef! read more

Amazing food and the staff were lovely. The interior was charming and cozy. Would recommend for anyone looking for a sophisticated yet relaxed dinner in the hudson river valley. read more

Beautiful because it's a unique space with unconventional lighting & artwork. The staff is pleasant & helpful. A memorable visit.

Well, good things never last I guess. Went to THE CORNER for a second night in a row, since our first night was fantastic. Food was on par again like the first night, however the service was terrible. This unfortunately due to the fact that the manager, a woman named Janett, was our server instead of an actual server. Which, by the way were all amazing. This manager however was not. Super snobby and pretty much disappeared once she sat us down. Absolutely terrible service with a really bad attitude. We had to politely ask two other servers for help at different times. Went from hero to zero in my opinion. Only dropping my review to four stars instead of five due to the fact everything and everyone else was great, as expected from our first experience. I don't know if this woman was new, in a bad mood or just a total snob but unfortunately we didn't return on this visit. We will come back again. Hopefully dodging this employee. read more

Very Good We stayed at the Hotel Tivoli for the weekend and this restaurant is on the bottom level. The bar is very nice. The restaurant and bar staff were all very nice. The restaurant food was quite nice. Nothing was particularly memorable, but it was an enjoyable evening. read more

Rude. Racist. I made reservations at The Corner a couple weeks out, asked for a table outside. The woman on the phone said she would make a note of it. I got to the restaurant today a few minutes earlier than the reservation, and was happy to see there were plenty of two tops that were sitting empty on the patio. When we got to the hostess stand, the woman (didn't catch her name, but older, blonde with eyelash extensions) insisted on ignoring me in favor of the white woman who walked in *after* I did. This woman was easily led to a table outside. The hostess then deigned to turn back to me and when I gave her my name she said, "Your table will be inside." When I told her I had requested a table on the patio she looked it up and said, "Right. There is a note of the request but we don't make guarantees and the doors are all open on the inside and if it's a dealbreaker you can go." She was INCREDIBLY rude and dismissive. I just want to point out here first that even if the seating isn't guaranteed, there were plenty of empty two tops and we were there first. By the way I am writing this review about 20 minutes *after* our reservation and there are STILL three empty two tops on the patio. So clearly it speaks volumes of whose request she is choosing to honor, even with reservations. Obviously we chose not to eat here, will avoid in the future, and recommend other people do the same. This is extremely disappointing because I had heard great things about this place and was looking forward to it during our whole birthday trip. Racism doesn't have to be overt- it is in the everyday dismissive/rude behaviors and actions, and I hope this woman/The Corner/Hotel Tivoli can reflect on this incident and grow from it. Honestly I would give this place zero stars if I could. ---- Updated to reflect the business manager's response. I don't think you understand what the actual issue is here. The issue is that Susan (I think that was her name) was rude to us in the first place- I would suggest you reread the fact that she was dismissive from the moment I walked into the restaurant, reservations aside. Additionally, when I posed the question regarding the outside tables, from jump she did not offer us a solution and no wait time for an outside table was offered to us. If at that time a solution was posed, perhaps we *might* have taken it. Instead, she was dismissive, telling us "if it's a dealbreaker, feel free to leave." Your "help" was posed to us nearly 40 minutes later. We noticed 20 minutes later that the very same tables that were refused to us were still open and then 40 minutes later the exact same tables were still open- this was when out of curiosity, my partner sought answers, and went over Susan's head to speak to you. Additionally, your idea of "help" was telling us to "take walk, cool down and come back in maybe 30 minutes" - the issue wasn't us eating there (because at that point, we'd already decided we did not wish to give you our business, which my partner actually reiterated). This isn't help; it's actually adding insult to injury. To imply in your response that somehow our "misunderstanding" was what caused our mistreatment and we were somehow at fault is incredibly condescending. All of this could have been avoided had your staff 1. Not been rude in the first place choosing to ignore me when I walked in and asking to help a white woman who clearly was waiting behind me, and 2. If your staff had been solutions oriented in the first place instead of basically telling us to take it or leave it. lTo your point, I understand that humans make mistakes; maybe Susan was having a rough day, maybe you didn't understand what was happening at the moment. However, your tone deafness even in this review is actually more offensive than the actual incident and doesn't get to the heart of the matter which was your server's dismissive and rude attitude. read more

Among the best dining in the Hudson Valley. Fabulous food. Excellent service. Good wine list.

Five years and a pandemic after my review in 2017 I had brunch and it was great...the omelette was excellent with ramps....and the roasted fingerling potatoes something I have never been able to master....I was told the burger was perfect...then my son went two weeks later and raved about the smoked salmon and pancakes .....great to sit outside and enjoy the street with a flavorful Bloody Mary, great service and a lovely meal..... read more

This restaurant generally has excellent food, and a wonderful artistic decor, very sophisticated. This time the service was only OK. Unfortunately on our last visit the manager or head waiter decided to seat two families, each one with small children, right next to us. The kids were badly behaved, they had a good time climbing on the tabletop We made a strong complaint, and the manager finally moved us to a different room. The food overall was good not great. But I will not be going back there, since they obviously are popular with affluent families who think of restaurants as their evening playgrounds for the children. read more

LOVE this place. They have a fantastic patio best suited for a lazy Sunday afternoon brunch. Of course I sat outside and basked in the sunshine. Everything here came down to the smallest details like the water carafes to the linens.. They made all the difference.. If you are like me, and are very observant and curious by nature - you'd love this place. They have little quirky and spunky things happening everywhere that'll keep you on your toes. The artwork sprawled around the whole restaurant was like being in a mini gallery! And If upon first entering.. And you are not instantly in love by the warmth and spunk of it all.. Then let the food change your mind- really quickly! The bread basket.. They bake all of the breads (and pastries)! And make all of the jams! In house.. I couldn't put my finger on which I liked most, but I remember enjoying the pumpkin bread with cinnamon butter..This is a menu item- that on paper - is very simple but they really nailed it here. The bread basket is decadent and memorable and I am pretty sure I could eat this bread basket for the rest of my life! For entrees we had the chickpea fava fritters with a lemon pimenton. Really tasty, and packed with really great flavors. Surprisingly filling for an appetizer! We also shared the grass fed, red potato hash. Also, a huge portion! It was served with a perfectly fried sunny side egg and pickled jalapeños. I had a really great experience here and can't wait to come back! read more

There's a song I love (from one of my favourite singers, Marian Call) about life on the road; in a key lyric, the band notes that they're going through the pain for "those moments of transcendence." That's a lot of what I hope for in restaurants: I'll tolerate a lot if there's a stunning high note somewhere. Well, The Corner had one: a burger (no, really) that made _both_ Jenny and I stop and say 'wow.' Perfect texture, deep rich taste, really just superb. And yet: they get two stars. Why? Because I have not been so disappointed in a meal for a long time. It's a consequence of expectations. The reviews were great, the building and room enjoyable and bright. The meal came after a splendid Neil Gaiman talk at Bard College... it had been a great day and I really wanted a great meal. Wine offerings are very limited, but both of our glasses (a greek red and a s[arkling rose) were good.. ok then. The problem? Everything other than that burger was actively mediocre. A flourless chocolate cake that never stepped out of corporate soullessness, paired with meringue sticks that were dry and pointless. A duck egg carbonara - how do you make carbonara meh?! - that was praised by the waitress, cost $23, and yet managed to be both poorly cooked (the pasta almost raw in places) and damn near flavourless. That takes active, premeditated avoidance of taste. [To be fair, it was better as leftovers after a couple of days in the fridge; but that's itself hardly praise.] Chickpea fritters with little or no taste other than the oil of frying and the mayo of a sauce - again, I was astonished at the ability of the kitchen to seemingly extract and remove flavour. So - sorry, but no second chances here: we'll not go back. That one instant of glory is not enough to justify the pity at what might have been. read more

A disappointing meal. Chicken tagine was watery, stringy and flavorless--nothing like what an excellent tagine can be! Ravioli entree was a small plate and also not particularly flavorful. Spinach side was okay, but heavily salted. Ice cream sundae was a non-event. We've enjoyed this restaurant in other years but won't be returning again as the food was very lackluster--and who needs that? The best part was a delicious proseco + cassis + orange peel cocktail I asked the bartender to prepare. That worked. Oh, and dinner took about an hour to arrive. read more

We, A party of four, stopped by on a Sunday for lunch. This s restaurant is connected to the Tripoli Hotel. Unfortunately we didn't have a good experience. The staff were friendly, but it came unravel from there! We ordered Hamburgers, done medium well. Our friend's arrived as requested. Mine was medium rare to rare. Yuck! Since we didn't see any staff until our meal was finished , I couldn't send it back for further cooking. Therefore, I had no lunch. When we asked for a check, the waiter offered to have the meat cooked. We were ready to leave! Really?!?! Anyway, just skip this place. There's bound to be better places to eat in this burg read more

We always enjoy our meals here. It's a very relaxed place with good food and beautiful decor. We make a habit of ordering a salad or a mezze platter then the roast chicken, followed by a chocolate cake or the dusty miller sundae. We leave very happy. The porch is an idyllic place to be on a beautiful day, and the bar is equally cozy on a chilly night. read more

I rated a 4 star ONLY 'cause it is pricey....BUT delish. Sure, the entrees could be larger for the prices. The staff, esp. Susie are attentive....and Susie tolerated my gift to gab without showing any annoyance to me. I had the cockle app; interesting flavors & the bread that came with this app was delish. I had the special, Thai chicken curry. It was not like any curry I've had elsewhere. Unique & I could taste all the spices & herbs added to this entree; Thai Basil, cilantro, kafir leaves (which I brought home to use again in my curry). SO GOOD...!! My daughter, whom recently moved to the area, had the ravioli entree. She loved it...!!!! I must say, yes, the ravioli is good but SMALL. She had a side order of the corn (Mexican corn) as an app which came out late; after dinner. The staff were very humble & took it off the bill...we did not complain about it...they just did it. OK...besides the high prices...I found the food to be a bit salty (I don't add salt to my food)...or it might have been the lime juice which seemed to be used too much...??? But certain entrees do need this acidity. I cook so I understand. I would return....SOON I hope...!!! I am definitely a fan...!!! Don't know where these people come up with negative ratings. Sure, it's a bit slow but everything is cooked/made fresh. AS for someone commenting "NYC standards" or whatever...YOU'RE NOT in NYC...!!! I've had the privilege to eat at most of the old time 4-5 star restaurants in NYC; The Leopard, Luigi's, Lutece, Lafayette's, Giambelli's 50th, Maxwell's Plum, Proof Of The Pudding, Four Seasons, etc., etc...sure all are closed except Four Seasons BUT they were around for many, many years before they closed. PS - BTW, the music SUX....!!! read more

The corner had a lovely interior, and the food was not bad, but for the price, the portions are absurdly small.... I'm still really hungry. $32 for half a filet of branzino? Real bummer since my family and I were celebrating my 30th. The service was also paaiiinnnnfully slow. It was so disappointing that I'm writing this as we sit at the table finishing up! Save yourself the disappointment. read more

I'm so glad I ignored the previous yelp reviews of the Corner. They were mixed, but there's no equivocating here: an amazing meal, coupled with amazing service. Unprompted, they made the perfect wine recommendation, and helped us celebrate with a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday. The brownie sundae was the icing on the cake. read more

I'm not giving one star because the food's no good here...I wouldn't know! My girlfriend and I came in for dinner at the bar--we asked to sit there and the hostess sat us there. After 15 minutes sitting there without being acknowledged, we got up and went down the street to the pub. It was moderately busy, but the bartender was mostly talking to one guy and never paid a moment of attention to us! They lost our business from this rotten experience. read more

Went last weekend before our event at the Bard Fisher Center. Loved the bread & the bone soup. My 3 table mates were happy with their meals. They had Pastas, (which dominated the menu.) Not a pasta eater, my choices were limited, so got the trout which was just OK. However, a trip to one of the bathrooms was worth the visit, though next time, I'll just get a drink at the bar, which has a nice scene. (BTW, our table in the main room with the bar was very noisy). I've since become obsessed with French vintage wallpaper & at Thanksgiving, found out that Brice Marden owns the establishment, so that explains the decor. read more

Thank you so much for a fantastic dinner experience! Of all the aspects of our 3-day conference, I received more compliments on The Corner experience than anything else. I'm so jealous!!!! Our "happy hour" at the bar was so pleasant! Your bartender was sociable and attentive, and we had a lot of fun when she took our group photos. The Chatham Dry Irish Stout was superb. Well chilled and served in a tumbler. I'll be back just to have another one of those. Your décor is always captivating and a conversation starter. The place settings were exquisite and made everyone feel special. The service was spot-on: two servers plus yourself was a perfect number; food and drinks were so professionally served - warm, with a smile and happy to help with a special request. And, it almost goes without saying, the food was artful and delicious! People raved about the shrimp bisque and kale salad. Even those of us with more conservative palates were delighted to enjoy chef's spicy rendition of spaghetti. I had the fish of the day which was excellent. And I keyed on the Spaniard in our group (she had recently returned from vacation back home) and noted that she also had the fish and was duly impressed. Dessert put us in chocolate heaven. Everybody left happy, satisfied and complimenting me for choosing The Corner. My hearty compliments to Chef! And to you and your wonderful team of hospitality professionals. We will be back again! read more

My girlfriend and I went in for a drink and an app at the bar and stayed for entrees and dessert. The squid was fantastic and original. The blowfish was simple and delicious. The ice cream and sorbet were tasty as hell. The chamomile ice cream especially caught my attention. The ambiance is casual, chic but not stuffy. A nice t-shirt is fine. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They were even quick to answer my questions about the excellent music selection. Inside was great, but I'm eager to return and take advantage of the porch which looks perfect for brunch or a nice summer evening. read more

Stayed here for the weekend. Super friendly staff who seemed overjoyed to let my dog stay there too. Ate brunch at the restaurant today and the polenta, sausage and eggs were fantastic. Last night got the chance to meet Malcolm Gladwell, who was having dinner at the restaurant! I felt like everyone at this place went out of their way to make our trip enjoyable. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

We had a bizarre experience there last night. The server was cold and robotic. First, just after we were seated, our 21 year old daughter ordered a drink and, with no hesitation or humor , the server carded her. We felt that was rude, since we, her parents, were clearly comfortable with her ordering a drink. Then, dinner was served, and my portion, of the special, cod, was minuscule - maybe 4 ounces of fish, for $32. I was hungry, and visibly/vocally shocked, as were my husband and daughter. Her pasta portion, by the way, was also served in an appetizer-sized bowl. The food was delicious, but the sizes were outrageous. The server barely bat an eyelash when we clearly expressed our shock. She mouthed an apology but made no offer of amends. It would have been classy and dare I say standard, at an elegant or well-run restaurant, to present a complementary dessert or perhaps after-dinner drink- some gesture to leave us with a good taste and lasting positive impression. It never occurred to her. Instead, astonished, we explained that we were locals, not tourists, and she bizarrely said "I know who you are." What? I said "who are we?" And she said that the chef knew us. We don't know the chef. It was all extremely strange and a pity because the restaurant is in all other ways beautiful, if a bit pricey and pretentious. We will not return, nor do we recommend it. read more

Just left The Corner. Our second time there. We were greeted warmly when we entered and welcomed into the bar area. Devon the bartender is amazing - awesome drinks and great personality, Burrata appetizer was outstanding! Chicken dish delicious! Will definately return! read more

It's beautiful, nice art and ambiance. Service mediocre for the $$$$$ until they realized how mortified we were by the portions. Then they checked every four minutes to see if it was enough food, which it wasn't. We laughed about where to go for part two.. The appetizers were homeopathic for supermodels. We ordered three plates for eight of us and the charcuterie had four green beans, and about eight quarter and dime sized salamis. We will be laughing about this evening meal for ever! We thought we'd take the movie producers doing a documentary on the family legacy there.. It was $250 no booze before tip. read more

I've had many, many great meals at the Corner. The chicken tajine is absolutely amazing--to the point that it has been difficult for me to ever order anything else! If you're not in the mood for chicken, the hamburger au poivre is always a sure bet. And for the best broccolli of your life, order the pan roasted romanesco, followed by the sour dough with ricotta. Incredible, artistically infused atmosphere, perfect for intimate dinners. read more
