We made a reservation for dinner with friends and had a wonderful time! Dutchess has great cocktails and wine options, and the food is savory and filling. The atmosphere, service, and food were all excellent. I was surprised it wasn't more busy, but we did have a late reservation on a Monday night. They've been open since May, and I'm already planning my next visit l.
We ordered a few appetizers and a salad to split, and each had a dinner entree, plus an order of the whipped potatoes to share. I spent about $100 for appetizers, wine, and a steak frites dinner. Would highly recommend the crispy ravioli, and we really enjoyed the eggplant & onion dip with the homemade chips and vegetables crudite, and the butter lettuce waldorf salad (we split it 4 ways, but it was large enough to be an entree or to split as a side with your mains...the miso caeser or wedge salads both looked delicious too!) I would love to try the snapper crudo or bone marrow appetizer next time.
For mains, our group ordered the steak frites au poivre, tagliatelle pasta, & jalapeno onion burger and all were delicious! I really enjoyed my steak, but next time I would taste the bricked chicken dish, or try a salad with the tagliatelle. The salmon also sounded really tempting! Even having a salad and order of the fried ravioli would be so good. I'm excited to go back and taste more of the menu. The plating was beautiful, but I didn't get any photos this time.
This would be a nice date night spot, or happy hour with heavy apps. I'd recommend a group of 2-4. The vibe was intimate & upscale. I would not recommend bringing kids. Parking was fairly easy, I found a street spot behind the BBQ place (just watch signs and DO NOT park in the reserved lots.) It's also an easy enough spot Uber and walk around/explore before or after dinner. Morgan's, Emporium, Atlas (and several watering holes) are all walkable from here. Would definitely check out the outdoor patio when the weather warms up!
