Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Pocantico Hills

This is one of my favorite restaurants food -wise in the Tarrytown area and we adore the owner and his family. It's casual feeling with upscale food. The sandwiches and burgers are great value. Some of the appetizers and main courses are a bit expensive for a casual-feeling place, but if you understand that up front you can enjoy a wonderful meal without getting dressed up. There are always some fabulous specials to select from plus enough basics to satisfy less adventurous eaters. The market up front gives the place a special feeling and it's a wonderful place to stock up on some gourmet treats. The cheese and olive selections are standouts.

I recently took my wife to Benjamin Steakhouse in Westchester for her birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing. To start, my wife had the wedge salad, and I tried the lobster bisque along with the Canadian bacon. The flavors were incredible and perfectly balanced. For our main course, we both had sirloin steaks, which were cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and exactly as we ordered. We ended the meal with cheesecake and chocolate mousse, both of which were decadent and a perfect way to wrap up the evening. The service was top-notch. The staff made us feel welcome and ensured that every detail of our meal was perfect. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, making it the ideal spot for a special occasion. Benjamin Steakhouse exceeded all our expectations, and we will definitely be returning. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fantastic steakhouse experience!

The food and service are top notch! All the staff are wonderful and the food is excellent. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Excellent! The homemade pappardelle with veal ragu is so delicious. All the pastas are good. We had grilled octopus prepared with chick peas- delish. The pounded veal chop parmigiana was a big portion- so took some home. Grilled scallops were very good. I love Tramontos. Have known Chef Nando for many years. He has brought an elevated menu to Tramonto’s. One of our faves!

Combination of great venue, great food and service. The three keys of exceptional dining.
