    Amazing time spent here. Our server Taylor was so attentive and so sweet. A really relaxing & excellent time. Taylor really added to our experience, would love to come back again!

    short ribs

    Went here and sat at the bar after a long day of climbing. It is a nice atmosphere, the service was wonderful, and the short ribs were some of the best I've ever had. Also they got the potato to short rib ratio right...

    Burrata
    Kristin A.

    Stopped in for dinner Saturday night while spending a weekend in the Hudson Valley. I made a reservation via email a week prior but we changed our seats to the bar when we arrived since there was space and we wanted a more casual vibe. The bartender working Saturday night was very friendly and chatted with us throughout our meal. To start, we shared the burrata special which came with 4 pieces of toasted bread. For our mains, I had the pumpkin ravioli special and my boyfriend tried the meatloaf. Both dishes were generous portions and very good. We finished off the meal with the cheesecake. We also each ordered the mule off the cocktail menu which they made with ginger ale vs. ginger beer which gave it a nice taste. Was a very enjoyable meal and glad we stopped by while visiting the neighborhood

    Syrah braised short rib.
    Steven S.

    Made a last minute reservation Thursday for their dinner. It was pouring out there, but they have an screened-in porch area that we can sit. We were there for their duck breast, but they were out; they have a double duck confit for the night in place of the duck breast. So we got the duck confit, strip steak, and braised short rib for the 4 of us. Honestly, their food was mediocre at best; the steak was not seasoned well, the duck confit was a bit too salty, and the braised short ribs were kind of tough. They are missing half of the items in their dessert menu also. So food was worth 3 stars. The extra star is for their accommodation. It was pouring rain outside, rain was splashing in through the screen. The owner / manager lady was really helpful when we expressed our concern. Made multiple suggestions to help, even offering to move us to another section, thankful for that. Their pre-caution with patrons is superb. No guests can come in without masks, and they can only take masks off when seated. Hope we will be back in the area in the fall to try something new in their menu.

    I unfortunately have mixed feelings about this place! I have been here many times and the photos…read moreare from a recent time where we got the $250 steak. So yeah as you can imagine this place is pricey and is definitely for a special occasion. On this visit we had exceptional service and they even brought us free caviar! I have seen them do this before. We had a girls night here one time and one of my friends got there early. As she waited they gave her a complimentary glass of champagne. This type of customer service is amazing and is what is expected of an establishment of this caliber. I mean a room at the hotel here will cost you about $1000 a night. So as you can guess it is not unusual to see celebrities here as well. Before I get into the food I will tell you what made me give them 3 stars. One morning I brought a friend here that was going through something. I wanted to treat her to a nice breakfast. We sat on there terrace by the fire pits. As I've said before I've been here often. The waiter who was not as friendly as I've had before told me in order to eat there I needed to put a card on file. Huh? I've never seen that before but okay sure. I mentioned how I would likely order something to go to for my husband at the end of our meal. The service was not great because they did not come back and when they finally did they swiped my card and gave me the final check. Huh? I never said I was finished and again I had already mentioned I wanted to order something to go. When I asked this new waitress ( the original guy was no where in sight) why they ran my card already because I specifically said I wanted to order something to go her nonchalant response was that she could just run it again. I've thought about that experience. It felt so off and I would have said something more at the time but again I was having breakfast with a friend who was going through something. Not the time to complain. So when I met someone who worked there at a diffrent event. I shared my experience and asked if this is a policy of there's to put a card on file to eat on the terrace. As you can guess it is not. Unfortunately, as you can imagine I felt discriminated against. I guess our waiter assumed I wouldn't pay my check and wanted to make sure he had my card and he swiped it as soon as he saw us take the last bites on our plates. After I talked to this employee I did write the restaurant to let them know of this experience and sadly I got no reply. I will say I have been back since then and did not get treated that way. But I felt like it's important to let others know. This is by no means a cheap restaurant especially in the economy! I would expect not to be made to feel the way I felt that day and would never want at one to feel that way. Benefit of the doubt maybe that waiter did have someone run out on his check in the past and wanted to ensure it did not happen again. I can understand that because I know some restaurants make the waiter pay for those walkouts, which is also not fair to them. It would have been nice though that when I contacted them about the situation they would have acknowledged what happened. And maybe just better training on how to go about the situation to make sure their customers don't feel like you assume they are criminals. Okay the food. First there French fries are a favorite. Random I know but I appreciate a good fry. The steak was cooked perfectly and the cocktails were got were a 10! I've had food from the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu. The food is farm to table and I love sitting either outside or by the open kitchen as you watch the chefs cook. All and all I say it's worth going even for a cocktail. Sometimes they have live music playing and it's super cute for a nice date night. They do valet parking and have tons of charging stations.

Our server…read moreEmory was kind and helpful -- she even learned the name of all six people at our table and remembered them for the entire dinner. The food at One With Land is sourced locally and tasted great. For our appetizer and main course we tried the potato croquettes, rainbow carrots, fusilli with short rib, garganelli primavera, rib eye steak, and the burger. Everyone's entrees tasted great and had large portion sizes. My favorite dish was the rainbow carrots with salsa macha -- the carrots were perfectly tender and the salsa macha had good flavor and spice. We ordered grandma's olive oil cake and dark chocolate-espresso torte for dessert, and the restaurant also brought out warm doughnuts as we were celebrating a birthday. All three desserts were delicious and unique, but the warm doughnuts with Nutella stole the show. The restaurant appears to be located in a historic house, and the interior decorating is very neutral and modern. Every detail large and small seemed carefully well thought out, from the service and table layouts to even the Aesop soap with pumice in the bathroom (that I would now like to buy). I'd recommend One With Land to anyone visiting the Hudson Valley area looking for great food or a romantic night out.

    This is top farm to table restaurant for me! I love how the outside is like country farm house and…read moreyou walk in and it's modern cool vibes through and through. It's a small restaurant and the layout and decorations are perfect! I would suggest having a reservation if you can, because it is tiny but not in a hole in the wall kind of way more in a cool private elite dining room kind of way. Shout out to the bar tender who is amazing. Rumor is she was working at the restaurant that was here before (Hoot Owl) and she was so good the owners of this new restaurant brought her here. I can believe it her drinks are impeccable! A friend told me an experience before about how she got a drink and not because of the bar tender but because of her palate she didn't prefer it. She wasn't going to complain. She just didn't drink it. The staff noticed her drink wasn't touched and they asked her about it. She explained it wasn't her preference so they took it and got her something else. That's exceptional service! She didn't say it they went to her! 10/10, all restaurants should have such attentiveness and kindness towards their customers. Now ...the food!! Wow! I mean I dream about this shaved celery salad they have. Like it's celery, which don't get me wrong I personally think it's one of the most important ingredients in a dish but when it's added to something not when it's the main star. They managed to make it the main star and it's beautiful, sophisticated, and most importantly it tastes good. Honestly everything I have tried here is yummy. The burger is probably the cheapest entree on their menu which is about $24 if I remember correctly. Don't think because it's a lesser price point you are missing out on quality or taste.The burger is huge, the fries are perfectly seasoned and crisp, and the burger patty is juicy and flavorful. Oh and the bun! That soft pillow bun that is holding that juicy patty....drooling! I truly have not had a dish here that they have done bad and I hope they never prove me wrong. As pricing goes it's farm to table so expect a higher price point since they are using quality ingredients but it's not high enough that it will break the bank!

Of course we cleaned up and walked over and were even more thrilled when we arrived to a completely empty dining room with the exception of our wonderful waiter and attentive host.

The waiter was warm and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The ambiance is cozy and has an elevated feel.

Service…read morewas indeed spotty on the Saturday night we came here and prices- well....they veer into sharp-intake-of-breath territory, but the cocktail and wine list are good in value. We'd just wrapped up seeing a property in the area- so coming here for dinner, fell just in line with timing before heading down home. Butterfield is Hasbrouck House's on-site farm-to-table restaurant located a bit north from New Paltz. While we didn't stay at the hotel, folks can certainly dine here. Don't even think that you'll be seated in an ultra-cheap bar area because their bar is put together elegantly with brushed, brassy-gold touches, navy, grey+cream patterned wallpaper and a comfortable tufted leather(?) sofa against the windows.Those are pretty much the overall touches with lots of tone and a lot of warmth. Music was a great mix of 60s-70s R&B. Yeah.... here. Hubs and I were digging it. Naturally, Butterfield's menu will change regularly according with what's in season and available. Between our 'Small Plates' of mixed Beet salad+ yogurt ($18) and hubs' crispy wonton Tuna Crudo+ yuzu tacos ($22)- they were very tasty and pricy for the small size. Mr. Mixologist packed our cocktails extremely well with an incredible TKO. Our main plates were very good- but again, small for the dollar amount. No one needs to gorge on food- but I wished my palm-size $44 Halibut was a bit bigger. To their defense, it had a tasty rub and done PERFECTLY moist though. Hubs' $54 "dry aged strip loin" was a total of 3 pieces. And my take-out Truffle Risotto had uncooked rice. Again, it's small and expensive at $38 for a main plate Hubs and I eat well and usually, money is no object- if it's within reason. I totally get that fine dining typically means splurging a little for high-quality items or that Butterfield is using 'complex cooking techniques' or that you'll get an original dining experience in these neck of the woods for those who want uniqueness. But there are a ton of restaurants that use the same skill set, quality organic ingredients, root veggies, etc- and they're way more reasonably priced than this location.
