Unfortunately service left a little to be desired and was a bit of a bummer. We had to get up to find our own silverware, incorrect drink order (and charged incorrectly) and overall slow service but possibly was just an off-night. Would still return next time I'm in the area!

VEGAN DINNER and a good dinner for all…read more Party of 6, we came for dinner after a busy Saturday at the Sheep and Wool Festival. We had a reservation and were seated with no wait. It's a very comfortable space and not noisy, so we were able to talk. As a vegan, I rarely get a coherent meal at a restaurant. So this was a pleasant surprise. Two of our six ordered and enjoyed the vegan Autumn Bowl of lentils with root vegetables. We enjoyed the crispy artichokes. Well executed. The sauce was spicy and enjoyed. Our party enjoyed Willow Salmon, with fennel orange salad: delish!; Pan Seared Trout was enjoyed; The duck breast was enjoyed. We got a bottle of red wine and some cocktails. All good . I had a strawberry margarita . We all had a good meal and a good time. Considering that the restaurant was not full, we felt the service was Slow. All of the staff were very nice. Bathroom was clean. Parking lot under the facility is large and adequate. Especially nice in rain and cold. A note about the Autumn Bowl: It's priced at $34 (all inexpensive components: lentils, carrots, squash), while the Mirbeau Burger (8 Oz CAB expensive Beef with bun, cheese, onions, portobello mushrooms, bordelaise, field greens, and fries) is priced at only $28! Also, the vegan Gelato is $3 more expensive than the regular Gelato. Why? The pricing doesn't make sense, and I think it should be re-evaluated. I'm grateful & appreciative for the vegan options. It's not easy to find a coherent vegan meal in Rhinebeck and this is one of the best, in a very comfortable space. Helpful?

Really great experience at Terrapin. We met friends here for dinner and we were coming from a…read morevariety of locations so Rhinebeck was sort of equidistant for everyone. The place looks really cool and I saw people eating outside, which looks like it would have been enjoyable. Our party of four sat inside; I was afraid it would be very loud but the acoustics were really good and even though it was lively, we could hear each other and not the other tables, which was awesome. Our server was Patrick and he was amazing. He had recommendations for everything and he didn't miss. I don't even know the name of the cocktail I had (maybe a Manhattan Brooklyn or something like that?) because I told him what I liked and he brought his recommendation, which was perfect. He also warned us not to fill up on the delicious hot rolls they served because portions were big for the entrees and again, he was on target. He brought my husband a glass of wine that he absolutely loved as well. We shared artichoke dip to start and it was really delicious. I couldn't have eaten most of it myself. I had the NY Strip steak and it came with spinach and mashed potatoes. It was very good.....it's not the best steak I ever had but it was high quality and reasonably priced. For dessert, he recommended a few items and we liked them all. There was an orange cake which was awesome, and also some blueberry cake which was amazing. The Dubai chocolate cake was good and if we had only had that, I would say it's good but it was not match for the other two. What elevates this to five stars for me is the overall experience. I loved the atmosphere, the whole team there is really focused on delivering a memorable service experience and Patrick just took it over the top. I don't think it would be possible to have a bad meal if he was your server. He's just excellent and he's what tipped the scales from four stars to five stars.

4.5 rounded up. Loved the wine (got the Sancerre but the Sauvignon blanc I tasted wasn't bad…read moreeither) as well as the complimentary bread to start (warm, soft, and very fresh with soft butter). The starters were also pretty good - we got the mushroom bisque and the baby arugula salad with goat cheese wontons. For entrees, we got the lobster pasta which I liked a lot but my husband didn't (a bit too creamy and mushy for him I think - and admittedly the lobster was a bit overcooked and rubbery), and the Hudson valley duck Peking style (I wouldn't recommend this - it was sadly not that great). We ended with the tiramisu, which was decent. Overall, pretty good food relatively speaking and look forward to returning!

We found this restaurant by searching google for a highly rated restaurant near where we were…read morestaying in Hyde Park. We booked dinner for my daughter's birthday and chose a Sunday specifically so we could try the fried chicken which is only served on Sundays. The restaurant is located in a house in a mostly residential area, with a large parking lot across the street. We had a reservation and were greeted and seated immediately in one of the booths with glass dividers on 3 sides - it felt almost like being inside a terrarium. The overall atmosphere is warm and cozy - leaning towards a modernized Victorian feel with lots of dark wood and dark furnishings. This would be a nice place to take a date if you're looking for an intimate atmosphere. Our party all ordered the fried chicken - which, really, we could have split one and just added some appetizers to feed all three of us. There is easily half a chicken on each plate. The chicken was super crispy, not greasy at all and still moist inside, truly excellent! Sadly the sides of mashed potatoes and coleslaw were just average at best. The mashed potatoes in particular were disappointingly tasteless and slightly lumpy which cost the dish a star in our ratings. We opted just to share an apple tarte tatin for dessert and the staff dressed it up with a birthday candle for us. Service was unobtrusive to the point where we had to flag down a waiter for more water. Overall, a good but not amazing meal.

There was fun live music and a very chill atmosphere- staff were incredibly friendly and laid back.
