    Lovely restaurant and service. Highly recommend giving it a go, especially if you’re vegetarian as the options are plentiful and impressive. Our only complaint being the pumpkin risotto being a bit bland. Loved our night out in every other respect.

    We have been dining at Terrapin since it opened in Rhinebeck several decades ago. The food last night was better than ever - absolutely delicious and prepared and presented perfectly. Particularly fabulous is the duck main course. Others in our party really enjoyed the steak and the miso tuna.

    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.

    Big portions, so a good value but unfortunately the meals were under seasoned
