"On Wall and John Streets is Restaurant Kinsley, the excellent F&B offering of Hotel Kinsley. The interiors, with their velvet couches and biophilic design, feel like the 1970s living room of the coolest person you know. Like most restaurants in the Hudson Valley, the menu changes with what’s in season—right now, that’s squash doughnuts, pumpkin mole tacos, and a chicken pot pie with thyme gravy." - Elise Taylor
"Located in the bank's former lobby at the corner of Wall and John Streets, Restaurant Kinsley—with Zak Pelaccio as consulting chef—feels large yet surprisingly intimate thanks to potted plants and orange velvet settees beneath soaring ceilings; a large print of George Harrison looms over the room, there's a converted 30-seat outdoor loading-zone space with heat lamps and planters, and a highlight on the menu is Pelaccio's signature cheeseburger topped with cheddar, caramelized onions, and pickle aioli." - Robin Cherry
"With a New American menu developed by Zac Pelaccio (formerly of Fish & Game, Backbar) and run by Taavo Somer and Charles Blaichman, this sunlit spot inside Hotel Kinsley has been a magnet for diners since opening in 2019. The dinner menu changes seasonally, but currently features spring favorites like asparagus with lemon ricotta, and arctic char with cultured cream and horseradish. The chic environs are also ideal for just popping in for a drink, especially for cocktails like the Garden Party, made with gin, rhubarb, salted lemon-lime cordial, and celery bitters." - Juliet Izon
"Serving a locally sourced menu of feel-good food—like lamb meatballs and pasta with stracciatella—this restaurant is helmed by Taavo Somer, of perennially trendy Gemma in the Bowery Hotel and perennially divey bar The Rusty Knot (their pretzel dogs: if you know, you know)." - Elise Taylor
"Housed in the hotel’s main building in an old bank, the fantastic Kinsley restaurant and bar is one of the best restaurants in the city, serving expertly crafted American classics like roasted chicken alongside abundant seasonal specials, a fantastic martini served with both gin and vodka, and a very dog-friendly atmosphere." - Coolstuff Team
