The restaurant is housed in a gorgeous antebellum style mansion built in the Southern style in 1910. It sits on four landscaped acres overlooking the Hudson River. Outdoor dining is available in good weather.
Walk in through a marvelous porticoed entrance to be greeted by a stunning view of the Hudson. A meticulous renovation of the former Maison Lafitte revealed marble fireplaces and glittering chandeliers. Tables are dressed with crisp linen and set with flickering candles and fresh flowers. The food is as special and sophisticated as the decor: cauliflower soup with hazelnut brown butter and salt cod emulsion; maple-glazed Berkshire pork belly with sunchoke, radish and celery; or confit of wild salmon with grapefruit, Swiss chard and black truffle vinaigrette. Chef Scott Riesenberger, who has cooked in some of Manhattan’s finest restaurants, describes his style as “seasonal contemporary American with European influences.”
