"The fresh air and country charm of the Hudson Valley scream romance, and Stissing House fully leans into that rustic scenery. Chips are delivered to tables in a woven picnic basket and green garlic butter scallops are lit by Victorian-era candlesticks. We get why people start dreaming about the type of commitment that requires legal documents after biting into their cloud-like coconut cake—the dessert makes frequent appearances when the restaurant hosts private weddings." - anne cruz
