    We’ve been customers for over 15 years and have always loved the food and never been disappointed. We bring all of our friends who have also become Terrapin fanatics as well. The pork chile nachos are life changing :)

    The braised lamb shank, duck, bread, and carafe of Cote du Rhone all exceeded expectations. Superb.

    Service was lacking timely attention. We waited over an hour for our food which would’ve been fine if the three tables that were sat after us didn’t get their food and bread before us. It seemed that we were an afterthought for the waiter as he was waiting on a table where he clearly knew the people. The waiter said there was an issue with the printer in the back but it really felt as if he didn’t put our order in a timely fashion. It took over 20 minutes to get drink refills. After the two hours there I grew impatient for someone to come and grab our card to pay so we had to go to the front to pay. The food was delicious but not worth the wait and the inconvenience of being late to our next destination.

    Absolutely amazing! The ambiance, the food, the service - everything was exceptional at Terrapin. True farm to table eating in Rhinebeck. Parking was a bit difficult but overflow parking is available next door.

    Don’t go hungry and go with sense of humor. Takes three tries to get the correct order and food substandard. Service beyond slow.

    Set in an old Baptist church..atmosphere is great. We went during "restaurant week" in the Hudson valley...so we took advantage aof a pre-fix price/menu. Food was excellent and staff was very accomidating.

    Service was extremely slow, with numerous mistakes. Place seems to be understaffed. Tuna appetizer was terrible (completely overcooked).
