Where To Eat In Northern Westchester

"Apropos doesn’t exactly blend in with its Peekskill neighbors. The restaurant sits high on a hill overlooking the Hudson River, in a former convent that was reinvented as a luxury boutique hotel in 2020. The views all around the grounds and from one of the dining rooms are spectacular, and the restaurant offers all-day dining options to service the hotel’s equally well preserved guests. We like Apropos best for dinner, and prefer to focus on the smaller plates and pastas, especially the standout pappardelle with lamb ragu. There’s also a small but cozy bar area where you can order the full menu, and there’s usually a light buzz in the room from the guests who always seem to be a few drinks into a fabulous night." - mike wasserman

"The Sisters of Saint Mary's certainly didn't eat like this, but if you take a one-hour train ride from Grand Central to Peekskill's Apropros Restaurant at The Abbey Inn, you will. This 120-year-old abbey perched high above the Hudson River has been painstakingly restored and transformed into a lovely inn and restaurant. The grounds, and the views, are worth the trip alone but the wine cellar boasting an impressive collection and the farm-to-table kitchen are equally rewarding.The menu leans traditional, with dishes ranging from rich lamb ragù atop tangles of thick pappardelle to grilled petite filet of beef finished with a textbook green peppercorn sauce. Pannacotta flavored with moscato and finished with an apricot and chili preserve is a lovely send-off." - Michelin Inspector

I’ve eaten at Michelin star restaurants across the world, and I understand why Apropos was on the Michelin guide. I know it doesn’t have a star yet, but it has a lot of potential. We went for restaurant week and had a great experience. I was too busy eating that I didn’t take any photos of the first two courses, but here are some photos of our desserts. I tried the acorn soup, country hen, and Belgium chocolate dome. Everything was delicious. Our server, Johnny was hilarious and attentive. The front desk concierge was also kind and offered us cookies on our way out. The inn overall is very charming. The space is beautiful and I thought that the upstairs chapel was really cool. Would love to try the spa next time.

We are restaurant owners in the city and we can tell you that the cooking in Apropos stands up to good fine dining places in the city. We are so happy we decided to stay at the hotel and dine at Apropos. Our favorite bites were the tuna tartare and the duck breast. Amazing! Staff is efficient and friendly. Everyone knew it was my birthday because I marked it on the reservation. It seems simple but trust me, I don’t expect staff to know in most establishments. We will come back when in the area again.

I thought a long time before posting this but i think it’s worth it giving an accurate image to others. The food was mediocre, the atmosphere like a Ashely furniture home store with young children screaming but all that wouldn’t even have been that bad if it wasn’t for how rude, inconsiderate, and judgmental Kaylee was. I was baffled at how much she went out of her way to be rude. I felt like she thought to herself “let’s place the cripple at the seat with the most foot traffic and in the lesser room at the worst table next to “lower quality clientele” aka clients with leopard prints and hoodies loudly yapping about some clubbing dresses” as she smirked at us while eying me up and down. When we arrived almost no table was taken… she could have seated us anywhere. I was uncomfortable all night trying to squeeze my broken foot under the table so waiters and guests won’t trip on it. We dressed nice and wanted to celebrate my husband’s special day but we felt financially taken advantage of. Throughout the night she kept pulling subtle stunts. She would also go in a corner to gossip with another co-worker while all other employees were hurrying service since they were understaffed that day (our dinner took 3+ hours). Why pay for a mediocre 3 course meal and be treated poorly at a former Michelin restaurant? Our waiter Tommy was wonderful. We still tipped well and hope our tip was given to him and not split. There was another woman who I didn’t catch the name of who was wonderful as well even though we only interacted with her over water and bread. The valet staff was also friendly, quick, and professional. We were considering choosing the Inn as a location for our second wedding celebration (the one with our international family and friends) but that’s a scrapped idea.

The estate offers a truly remarkable experience, evoking a cinematic atmosphere. The expansive landscape and exploration of the castle grounds contribute to an exceptional visit. The historical significance of the site, coupled with the views of the Hudson River, are particularly noteworthy. The overall experience is quite breathtaking.

Dinner was fantastic and here's a few reasons why to share the experience... Atmosphere - 10/10 > from the lush foliage outside, to the view of the Hudson, to the brick work facade of the Abbey; the visuals outside were flawless. Inside, the vibe was very quiet (minus our 4 year old screaming occasionally). The tables were neatly situated, flatware was spotless, glassware was magnificently maintained - it was great. The staff, specifically our server Jhonny, were all well versed on the menu items, the history of the Abbey, and the ingredients of the menu items. Jhonny was even kind enough to include a surprise in addition to my wife's birthday dessert; it was very pleasing. The menu - 10/10 > The menu was locally sourced to table, which was a nice surprise (reminiscent of 11 Mad in many ways). We're started off with a charcuterie for 2, along with a plate of burrata and mixed greens. The addition of the Red Leicester to the cheese offering was 👏🏼. The drinks were brilliantly blended - my wife had a Manhattan, I had a Moscow Mule (which wasn't watered down). On to the main course - I had the ravioli with spinach, ricotta, and ramps, and my wife had the sea bream and they were both to die for; my son was asking for spaghetti and meatballs which was not on the menu but Jhonny brought out rigatoni with a pomodoro sauce and this really made the night. The remainder of the FOH staff were remarkably pleasant and highly responsive. We'll continue to frequent the Abby as we live less than 2 miles away so major score for us.

I went to dinner on Tuesday night in Restaurant Week.. We had been last year during restaurant week, so we decided to go again. Last years menu was what brought us back this year. The menu had delicious choices and although the portions were small they were great, locally sourced and prepared with care. The menu for restaurant week last night looked like a vegan six year old planned it. For $44 you could get cabbage, soup, the only protein was ribs and three courses of vegetables salad and some potato gratin. We opted for the regular menu and shared mussels and had pasta. The mussels had no spoon, no broth but were cooked and tasty. The pasta was on the way to being cold and less than 1/4 pound of thick pasta. I was drinking so it did not bother me at the time but had the waiter described the salmon correctly with couscous and not risotto I would not be writing you. It’s my own fault for thinking I would get a good pasta out for I’m a great cook.

My best friend took me out for dinner for my January birthday here. He made a reservation and all. He mentioned to the waiter…but he just wished me a happy birthday (usually in nice restaurants they would make it special…) -The place was empty. 2 more couples came later. -it was evening, so you can hardly view anything from the windows. But outside is beautiful-there were lights around (nice to come earlier for sunset, or day time to enjoy the view) -I got espresso martini- it was nice -my friend loved his beer-abbey ale 🦋 bread basket with butter for the table 🦋 we got the tuna tartar for appetizer (didn’t enjoy it…it was average, very small and nothing special). 🦋 we both got the pasta since we were in the mood for that. -chittarra pasta was good -fresh papperdelle was good When we were done with the dinner the waiter wanted to close us out. Then my best friend goes can you bring out the dessert menu so I get to wish her a happy birthday and put a candle on it or something. -we ordered the Belgium chocolate dome (it was alright , not my favorite) He served it to me with a candle and “happy birthday” On chocolate, thank you . Sweet. Overall nice place…but wouldn’t recommend to celebrate here. I’ve been to so many incredible restaurants and the dessert for birthday person is in the house…not here… Thank you.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and had such a wonderful experience. The grounds were beautiful, the restaurant cozy and romantic, and even the bathrooms immaculate. We enjoyed a cocktail at the bar… Ben made excellent drinks! We also chatted with Donnan, the beverage director, who had great menu recommendations as he just revamped their menu. For dinner, I had the pork belly and my husband ordered the pasta with clams; both were fantastic. The roasted Brussels sprouts were a standout side, and we ended with a perfectly done crème brûlée. Our server was warm and attentive, making the evening seamless. With the top-notch service and atmosphere, we expected a hefty bill, but were pleasantly surprised that everything was very fairly priced. Every detail made the night special—we’ll definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful celebration!
