Best Brunch Restaurants in Red Hook

Had 1 pm reservations for a Friday lunch and were seated promptly. Dining room was full which was a sign of its popularity. The dining room was nicely decorated and the table settings and tablecloths were a quality touch. Nathan, our server was exceedingly polite and welcoming: a professional in all respects. We ordered the Chicken pot pie. I noticed that no side salad was available on the menu and asked Nathan if one were available. He said it wasn’t a problem at all and the side salads provided were perfect. The pot pie was served in a a tall, cup-like dish, sitting in a lower, wider dish, topped with a puff-pastry biscuit on top. We actually weren’t sure how to eat it and Nathan explained we should remove the pastry, pour the pot pie into the larger dish, and put the pastry on top. The instructions were very helpful and given in such a way as to not embarrass us, much to Nathan’s credit. The pot pie was delicious with generously-sized portions of white meat. We ordered a side of breads, a small basket with a variety of rolls. All were freshly made and tasty. We finished with apple pie a la mode. The pie was also freshly-made and delicious, with a fluffy crust totally different than mass-produced pies. Red Lion is definitely worth the visit: both the food and staff are exceptional and the Inn is just full of character. Make sure you make reservations!

Feast of the Seven Fishes, the elevated version was delicious! The three Mike’s really made it the perfect evening. Anastacio is the top chef in town for sure and he raised the bar again. The wine pairings with this tasting menu were perfectly chosen. And the service top notch & personnable. 4 hour dinner with each course spaced out perfectly. Not inexpensive but we were definitely given our moneysworth.

Excellent food, service and ambience. The special was exceptional! Charming holiday decorations.

Beautiful atmosphere, surroundings and furnishings in an old mansion. Service was great with very friendly staff. Recommend the onion soup, steak tartare and branzino.

The view is outstanding and the best of the Hudson Valley. Enjoy the river and wide open space under the shelter with heaters and fireplaces to keep it cozy. The Shakshuka eggs were over cooked but the tomato sauce was tasty and on point. Eggs Benedict was the winner at our table with the wood fired pizza coming in second place.
