Restaurants near Lawton Park

We love Kips Tavern. The decor, bartender (we always dine at the bar), food (the chicken pot pie is the signature entree), the location in historic Rhinecliff. We will be back.

I dined here alone on a Thursday night in the lovely and warm bar area, which has an intimate feeling. The bartender Matt was charming and made delicious cocktails tailored to my tastes. I had the cigars stuffed with chicken liver pate, and they were scrumptious, must order. My main was roast duck and it was perfectly cooked. I also recommend the creme brulee, which was the best I have had in a long time. Overall a great experience.

Arrived on time for our reservation, greeted warmly and seated promptly. Service, as always, was warm prompt efficient without being intrusive. Menu is always fantastic with great specials and offerings. Appetizers, main courses, desserts, all wonderfully done, fantastic wine list, cocktails well balanced and flavorful. Overall; another wonderful experience, which is why we continue to visit this restaurant often. Already looking forward to the next experience. 

This little place is a gem. Do yourself a favor and go. Staff, drinks, good, ambiance all fabulous.

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.
