Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Jefferson Valley

Outstanding Service, lovely food and charming atmosphere. Burgers, truffle fries, Desert Board and Gingerbread Chai Latte were very tasty. We were seated outside under heaters which was perfect thanks to good weather. They offered Seasonal Cocktails and they were passing hors d'oeuvres while we were waiting to be seated. This cafe is situated in Terrain and it was so beautifully decorated for Christmas including a snow machine. This was my 2nd visit and Restaurant staff are excellent.

The Staff is incredible there. Cant wait to go back.

We had a wonderful lunch sitting near the gorgeous windows overlooking the Hudson. The wait staff were courteous and friendly and attentive. We had that days soup and sandwich special. The squash soup was delicious and served in a mug, so you didn't miss a drop. The grilled chicken sandwich with arugala and asiago cheese on a grilled baguette was really tasty.

Yesterday was the first time I ate at the Birdsall House. I decided to eat off the Sunday Brunch menu. The prix fix was a mere $30, which included a bloody Mary or Mimosa, an appetizer and an entree. I chose the virgin Bloody Mary, which was extremely delicious--didn't miss the vodka at all! I also had the very flavorful and creamy butternut squash soup as the appetizer . Corned beef hash with two eggs over easy was my chosen entree. The hash was not salty at all, and the pieces of corned beef were flavored nicely with sweet onions and potatoes. The serving was more than plentiful and also came with toast. Service was extremely friendly, prompt, but not rushed at all, even though the restaurant was extremely busy. My eating partner and I were attended to regularly in a most pleasant way.

A great dining experience. The food was excellent. In particular, the roasted chicken breast. The service was equally excellent. The ambiance was outstanding. And, the live jazz, performed by Kristina Koller, made the evening perfect.
