Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Kent

Reserved a dinner night here for my boyfriend during Valentine’s Day weekend. This Inn/restaurant was about 40 min from our home in Cold Spring, and unfortunately, we had bad weather (snow), but we made the trek. Despite arriving 10 min late due to the weather, they were completely understanding and super kind. The food was excellent. Probably some of the best food we’ve had since leaving NYC. The food was fresh, savory yet light. The waitress was very kind, attentive and the food arrived in a timely manner. The drinks were great too. It was truly a romantic dinner and quite cozy during a winter storm. It took us an hour to get back home due to the roads being much worse than when we arrived; but it was honestly well worth it. We will most definitely be returning.

The food and service were outstanding! You can get lost in all of the wonderful offerings in their store. Such a great idea to eat in such a lovely ambiance. Our food was beautifully plated and delicious. We opted to eat half our servings in order to try some of their desserts! We were not disappointed! And we got our leftovers packed away to eat later. This was a beautiful experience from start to finish... We will be back soon!

Went for the prix fixe menu for our Valentine’s dinner. It was on the pricier side ($200+ pp including alc), but every aspect of the dinner was spectacular. Unexpectedly met with rose pedals on the table and a (optional) raspberry cocktail. All of their cocktails looked incredible on other tables, but we split a very nice Cab. All the courses were amazing, moderate amounts, but after four courses we were filled up. Wagyu tenderloin and carrot cake were 12/10. Will definitely be going back for a dinner with the regular menu in the near future. If you don’t mind the cost, then the Valentine’s dinner is a special date night experience.

Love the old-fashioned vibe of the Inn and dining areas. Service was very attentive. Food was simple. Flavors were good and ordinary, not amazing and unique. Ambiance made it very enjoyable.

Went for Monday Pasta Night prix fixe@$45. Great service, friendly and very attentive. The appetizers were delicious and plentiful. The pasta was just ok: cavatelli with duck ragu lacked flavor, tasted like it could have been made with ground turkey-no “oomph.” The spaghetti with clams and chili crisp was swimming in chili oil, tasty but too wet. Chocolate rocky road cheesecake was more like a thick mousse, but was tasty - albeit a bit too sweet. Not sure I think this is a “good” value, when you add in the wine (3glasses for two of us) and tax and tip the bill still comes to $165, for a pasta entree. I Love the ambience of this place, and it always has a very attractive crowd, just wish it was a bit less expensive.
