Restaurant Kinsley

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fresh, Flavorful, and Fantastic – A Must-Visit in Kingston!** Kinsley is an absolute standout in Kingston! The food is fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and incredibly delicious. The BLT at lunch is seriously next-level—simple but perfectly done. For dinner, the salmon with ratatouille was outstanding—beautifully cooked and full of vibrant flavor. The desserts are both fun and indulgent—a great way to cap off a meal. The bar is another highlight: stylish, welcoming, and serving up top-notch cocktails with a classy vibe. Service throughout was warm, attentive, and professional. The team really makes you feel taken care of. You can tell hospitality is at the heart of what they do. Whether you're stopping in for a casual lunch, a celebratory dinner, or a drink at the bar, Kinsley delivers across the board. Highly recommended!

I went here for Easter brunch and it didn’t disappoint. Food was very good, I loved the cheeseburger and fries! Everything was so fresh. And service was 5 stars.

I had asked around for the best Happy Hour and was told about the Kingsley 20$ smash burger and beer combo. It truly didn’t disappoint. Staff were so genuine! Christine and Lena are seriously top notch employees. Don’t pass this restaurant by, go now. It won’t disappoint!

Restaurant Kinsley is a staple for me! I absolutely love the summer grain bowl, the miso salad, and peach and little gem salad. I add salmon to all of them because they crisp the skin perfectly and it is so delicious. There is not a food item on this menu (brunch, lunch and dinner) that I have not thoroughly enjoyed. The new menu has been so refreshing and delicious! The service is always personable and considerate. The happy hour they offer is also amazing for snacks and some of their specialty cocktails at a steal of a price. Cannot reccomend this restaurant enough!

We just had cocktails and appetizers in the bar area. The Uptown cocktail was my favorite. For apps/snacks we had the ricotta bread was sooo delicious but a little pricey for the portion. The chick pea bar snack was great as well. Bartender is professional, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Bonus - we found out that during happy hour (4-6pm Mon-Thurs), all of the cocktails were $12!

Loved it. We showed up early at 5pm and didn't have to wait. We had a lobster roll and a bunch of sides and small plates, some of which I scarfed down without even taking a photo like creamed corn and greens. Each dish was very good! In a town where we found practically nothing open at 5pm on Tuesday, Restaurant Kinsley was an oasis of taste.

Had the best experience at Kinsley for a 5.30 dinner with the girls. Kids friendly (5 and 8) Sitting by the crackling Fire, nice music, delicious food Had the pasta, pork chops, burger and a wonder apple tarte We will be back!

If you want to sit and eat somewhere that treats their staff of multiple years as expendable and barely even human. Please sit down here, slice open the burrata and dip your fresh local bread into it as the kind staff who serves you wonders if they will get to keep their job or not. What a life changing atmosphere.

During our first trip to the Hudson Valley, my partner recommended we go here though we were staying at an B&B close-by. Food: 3/5 Meh, for the price (see bill below), I was content but not particularly elated. Though, we got a good spread. Our favorite parts were the miso salad,nicely dressed and textural experience, and mushroom tacos. The tacos were flavorful and a nice vegan app to start the night. The rest was okay. Service: 3/5 When we entered, and left, there weren't many diners which should have been a sign. But, we stayed. Sadly, due to the large space, and we being place by the door, not by the kitchen or staff, we often were waiting to catch the sole server's attention for anything. Outside of the delayed response, it was disappointing that our server's warm-ness dissipated everytime they engaged our table. All in all, I won't make an effort to go back. There are other places in the area that we had a better dinning experience with. However, the decor was quite beautiful.

Unfulfilled potential. Sadly... The restaurant is so cute, well designed and has a wonderful whimsical energy with some eclectic design elements like records on the walls and huge statement paintings. Service was kind and professional. No comments there: Sadly the food did not live up to expectations. The beet salad lacked flavor, the beets were delicious but the grain toast and cheese didn't add much. The rigatoni al pomodoro looked great but lacked flavor. The only half highlight was the smashburger with a double patty and matchstick fires was pretty good. Cocktails are creative overall. Would recommend for a quick bite and drinks but if you're looking for a true culinary experience, this is not the place

Super trendy spot in the heart of uptown Kingston. Stopped by for lunch with family and we loved everything! Service was a bit slow as they were short staffed, but we were understanding. We started with the side order of bread - a little steep at $10 for 4 pieces + butter but it was sooo good and just fresh out of the oven. We tried 2 cocktails and 1 mocktail - all had excellent flavors and were super refreshing. For our mains we had the smash burger, grain bowl + chicken, and lobster roll. The fries that came with the burger and lobster roll were seasoned nicely and had a nice crunch to them, but not overcooked. The burger and roll tasted fresh and had great flavor. Would definitely get again. The grain bowl was a good portion and was packed with various textures, which all came together nicely with the green goddess dressing! Definitely will be back!

The ambience cannot be beat with beautiful retro-modern pine interiors with vintage LP covers and big green plants anchored by a huge beautiful fireplace with velvety blood red couches. Not sure what their playlist was but I love it. You feel like you're in NYC but the air smells good and people are less tired. The food is delicious, albeit on the pricey side. Get the mushroom tacos.

I had brunch with my parents at the restaurant today and could not believe the horrible customer service we received. We ordered the "Bottomless Brunch" for 25 USD and asked the waitress if it included a drink (from a choice of 3) plus a food item from the list and she confirmed. When the bill came we expected to pay 3 x 25 plus tax and tip, so around 100 USD so could not believe our eyes when the bill was 154 USD. We asked to speak to the manager and explained what happened. Instead of trying to find a solution / compromise and apologizing for the misunderstanding, she called her boss and then told us we had to pay or she was going to call the police. We never said we weren't going to pay, just did not agree with the amount, as it was different from what was understood and confirmed by the waitress. When the police arrived I explained the situation and they recommended we pay the bill and then email the manager to try to find an agreeable solution. As the owner was the one who told the manager to threaten with the police I do not expect the story to have a positive ending. Restaurant Hotel Kinsley just lost themselves some customers... but I do not think they care at all. Never going back.

Excellent service and good food! We went for brunch as a family of 6 and our dog. Unfortunately, we booked for the outdoor patio but when we arrived it was thunderstorming so they let us sit inside with our dog. They were so kind about it and open to having the dog inside. The pancakes were delicious! I got the omelet gluten free and it was perfect! My husband enjoyed the miso salad and chicken. They also had mocktails which hit the spot! Wonderful place! Most items on the food can be modified to be made gluten free, but they do not have gf bread - this was not a deal breaker for us. We'll be back!

You hopefully come to the Hudson Valley to enjoy what it has to offer, not to wallow in the worst aspects of New York City. The restaurant is a sloppy, second rate version of an NYC restaurant at NYC prices. Kingston and the Hudson Valley have many thriving, high quality places to eat -- including some "city-like" and less so -- so it's really a shame to indulge in a brunch where you're seated late, service is mixed, and the food is equally uneven (avocado toast, great, pancakes, bad). The smart-looking room falls apart when you see the stains on the ceiling, after waiting 30+ past your reservation. Kingston is a wonderful place, and deserves a fine hotel for people to enjoy. Sadly -- the restaurant at least -- isn't quite it.

Last weekend we hosted a Welcome Drinks party at the restaurant at Hotel Kinsley. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere for such an event. Mary, the Catering Manager, was amazing, helping with all the planning details and was onsite for the event. The staff was warm and welcoming. All attendees had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend! Patty T

Great place with good food. Ordered bread and grain bowl. All were delicious and fresh!

We went to the Kinsley Restaurant this evening with the expectation of having an amazing dinner experience based on the reviews. Unfortunately, what we got was average at best. We had the olives, the $10 bread, and the mushroom tacos for appetizers. Entrees were the salmon and their salad. Total bill without drinks was $150. The food was all mediocre. Everything in general was under seasoned, presentation was uninspiring, service was muted, and the overall experience was severely lacking considering the price tag. If you like to drop close to $200 with tip and have an amazing experience, may I recommend that you don't go to the Kinsley Restaurant. If you're in the area and would like a dining experience that is worth that price point, I'd suggest trying La Canard. While not the same cuisine, certainly a better bang for your buck. I won't be returning. C-

This has been our go to restaurant for years now and we have loved it each time, but this night was like no other. The hostess was super rude and wouldn't seat us for an half hour when the entire restaurant was totally empty. The menu was super abbreviated and even this items were sold out giving us a handful of items to choose from. The waitress was totally lost as he kept bringing other tables entrées to us and then collecting them. Overall we give it a F as all mahout points failed this evening. I am hopping this was just an anomaly as we love this spot so much

A great place for lunch after visiting the Kingston Farmer's Market. The food is good (I usually go for the egg sandwich on the Brunch Menu), though a bit expensive (NYC prices). Staff is attentive and the ambiance is good - usually a quiet set list. And a nice wine menu...

Beautiful restaurant, lovely space. Food and service were excellent as well. We are staying in the hotel and had a reservation, though it was a Tuesday night and not crowded. Both vegetarian dishes we tried were delicious. Drinks and dessert were also fantastic, and the service was top notch.

The food was delicious, but I only had the branzino and elote. Not a traditional Elote but I think I enjoyed that- something a little different (I love elotes and can eat them everyday). The branzino's skin was so crispy and at the same time easy to eat and not tough. The flavor was absolutely delicious and I would not normally eat cooked snap peas like this but I will be from now on. Our bartender, Luke, was awesome and so nice. We loved our drinks and our time at the hotel Kinsley restaurant.

We had a wonderful time at Hotel Kingsley! We had the mushroom tacos, cheeseburger, miso salad, apple galette dessert, and drinks, and everything was absolutely glorious! The interior is beautiful, and the service was truly excellent, kind, and accommodating. We'll be back!

We had such a great experience! We dined here and it all of the employees were so nice. We love that the restaurant is open pretty late, giving us an option to dine late in uptown. We could have stayed here all night, the food was delicious and the drinks were made strong but in a good way the deviled eggs were probably my favorite but everything was great. It is a chill atmosphere that looks pretty modern the building used to be a tank so we loved that appeal to it. They truly do an awesome job especially with the ambience, they also have outdoor seating which is on the road but they have made it really nice looking so I will be doing that next time I visit!

Nice ambiance and great food and drinks. Perfect for drinks before dinner or a special occasion.

Food was ok/nothing special. Staff was friendly. Pretty restaurant but forgettable.

Great Service and Ambiance. Went for dinner (dog friendly) and appreciated the great wine list and variety of the menu. Highly recommend.

When you sit down for dinner after a delightful walk on a perfect sunny day, on a path along a lake surrounded by vibrant autumn colors of the trees on the hills, creating a serene atmosphere, and you find yourself at the charming Hotel Kingsley restaurant in the enchanting section of old Kingston, New York, and as Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood's "Some Velvet Morning" plays softly in the background, you're in a tranquil state of mind, eagerly anticipating your meal without overly scrutinizing the food. First and foremost, it's important to clarify that this is not a hotel restaurant in the negative sense. It's a beautiful restaurant situated within a lovely hotel building, and it strives for excellence. This commitment is evident in the menu, which offers a concise selection of dishes that appear promising and above average. For example, the "wild escargot" appetizer, while bearing the name, doesn't resemble the traditional French preparation, aside from the dish name. A more accurate name for this dish would be "wild snails," but it appears the management chose the more approachable name of "Escargot." This might be slightly misleading if you expect the traditional French Escargot dish. The generously served crusty bread with burrata was excellent and set a positive tone. The "wild" escargot appetizer was good, though not outstanding. The Tagine chickpeas were disappointing. Regrettably, the Hake fish, served with small clams and pieces of calamari in a heavily salty broth, tasted like chewy, overly salted chunks of rubber. I managed to finish it with the help of some bread to balance the saltiness, but my wife couldn't even complete her dish, which was disappointing. The Wall St salad (Kale + with Gorgonzola) was enjoyable, and the french fries, served with plain ketchup (although perhaps a more exotic dipping sauce could be offered), were satisfactory. The apple tart, resembling tarte Tatin and served with ice cream, was decent but didn't leave a lasting impression. In the end, the bill felt somewhat high relative to the quality and quantity of the food. However, if taste and value aren't your top priorities, the pleasant ambiance and the captivating background music can be reasons to spend an evening there. It might be wise to order sparingly to avoid disappointment if you're concerned about overspending on food that's less than excellent.

This restaurant is one of our regular stops. The service, food, cleanliness, and environment are the very best. There's nothing like it in the area in my opinion. You can tell everything is crafted beautifully, and there is so much care and love in the food and drinks. If you have the pleasure of meeting Rebecca, your spirits will surely be lifted before you leave. Indulge and enjoy!

Hotel Motel! hey everyone, it's me Ryan to tell you about the hotel kinsley. it's like so great guys!!!! ok here's the thing tho- jelopa is an old male water nymph who is so small he can swim through the hotel's pipes. Every once in a while when you turn the bathroom sink on, you'll hear him go swooshing through the plumbing, faintly singing his song. Oh jelopa, how I miss you.

My husband and I stopped here for brunch while running a few errands in Kingston; we were so happy that we did. The food, service and ambiance were all fantastic. It was a lovely fall day so we ate outside. I had the quinoa bowl and my husband had pancakes. The food was great, nothing was an afterthought. The veggies in the quinoa bowl were super fresh and the feta was so creamy. My husband raved about the pancakes; I could tell just by looking at them that they were perfectly cooked. The presentation was beautiful. I can't wait to come back for dinner sometime soon.

The Kinsley restaurant was simply spectacular. I've been there twice so far - once for an anniversary and once with a few friends. We were duly impressed. Every bit of food in front of me was perfectly executed. The service was top notch. The craft cocktails were amazing! I'll be returning for sure the next time we have a special occasion - or maybe even just for the hell of it. :) So great...

Ate here this weekend and was pleasantly surprised. The food and place exceeded our expectations. The service was great, loved the vibe of the place and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the tuna tacos, the bread with straciatella, and the citrus salad to start. They were all incredible. The tuna tacos were super light and delicate. Perfectly balanced. The salad was the most visually stunning salad. A delight to our palates and eyes. And the bread was perfect. Nice crust and chewiness, perfect for scooping up the balsamic with straciatella. Our mains were the roasted chicken and burger. All delicious but we stuffed ourselves so much with the appetizers that we didn't have much room for the mains. Highly, highly recommended. Can't wait to return!

I have been to this establishment exactly three times at the time of this review, but plan many more visits. I've always had great service, love the atmosphere, and the look of the place in summer and winter. The bar is great, fully stocked for all kinds of traditional drinks, and a menu of their own. I recommend the "garden party" for starters. While I hadn't planned to review this place, I was here on New Year's Eve Eve, and had the best steak of my life. That is saying something, as you'll see in my reviews, I have been to the top rated steakhouses from Brooklyn and Manhattan, to Tampa and Texas. No idea where they found their chef and kitchen team but this was amazing.

Comfortable and quiet hotel. Service was good. Better than average continental breakfast. Room rate was slightly high for the room size and decor. Overall a very pleasant stay.

The food and service are top notch! I have been many times to the restaurant and it is super yummy and cozy every time. It's a beautiful space to enjoy a nice dinner with friends among a lovely crowd and crackling fireplace

Every single thing that touched our lips was absolutely delicious! And our server, Rebecca was a gem and provided personal and warm service! We had the gem salad with trout, deviled eggs, levain bread, excellent, organic wine, and sticky toffee pudding to die for. I'm extremely picky about how salads are prepared and these were huge crispy delicious leaves with perfect dressing and crispy skin local trout.Go for it!

Lack luster. Just ate here and was super disappointed. Ambiance is super cute and service was great, but food is where we were lacking. The gem salad was covered in cheese and buttermilk to the point where it was overpowered by the buttermilk. Gem lettuce salads are supposed to be light and fresh. The artichokes, while tasted good, could be from a jar and covered in too much cheese. We thought the burrata would be a good touch with it, but honestly it didn't make sense. The rib eye was cooked well but slightly over salted and not the best cut of meat for the price tag. The chimmichurri (sp?) was just not. It was dried herbs in olive oil LOL. Tasted like pizza seasoning. The stand out of the dish were the fries. The mushroom polenta was decent. Mushrooms were coated in too much Parmesan. Other than that, it's really hard to mess up polenta. Really wanted to like this place because it's so cute, but the food needs a lot of work.

I really wanted to like Hotel Kinsley, as I had heard good things. Unfortunately my experience fell short. My wife and I dined at Hotel Kinsley on Saturday September 30th 2023. Waitstaff was friendly and pleasant. However I ordered the bass and it was extremely stinky, not fresh at all. That's where things began to go downhill. We heard audible, aggressive screaming from the chef towards his kitchen staff more than once while we were dining. It completely ruined our evening and the atmosphere. It's safe to say we will never eat at Hotel Kinsley again.

This hotel restaurant is classy and quaint. We had reservations and were seated immediately into a nice cozy booth. Our server was friendly and made sure we enjoyed our meal. They have a selection of cocktails and mocktails depending on your preference. As for the food, we ordered the scallops, mussels, polenta, schnitzel, fish, and a Panna Cotta for dessert. The scallops were cooked perfectly. The polenta was creamy and the mussels were tasty too. The schnitzel was tender and juicy. The fish was slightly overcooked but still good. The Panna Cotta was silky and a lovely end to our meal.

We tried to sit outside but turned away because it was barely raining. The manger was dismissive and told us it would be at least 1/2 hour because it was raining, mind you it was barely raining but used her weather map to tell us otherwise even though if you stepped outside there was barely any rain. We eat here all the time. But will never set foot in there again

10/10 for our experience at Kinsley Hotel, including the restaurant. You know the warm and relaxed feeling you get while eating an excellent meal? Well Kinsley's atmosphere, drinks, and food ease you into that feeling almost as soon as you walk through the door. The items on the menu, while simple are excellent. Whipped ricotta and duck rilletes, yes please! Honestly every bit of our 2 night stay at the Kinsley hotel was excellent-- the refurbished buildings (housing the hotels and restaurant) are beautifully done and so importantly, the bed was very very comfortable. Michael, the GM, at the last minute scheduled massages for us, which easily were some of the best we'd ever had. Great time!

Very good. Reasonable food. The best thing about it was that we could eat dinner and then go to sleep upstairs.

The service was amazing. Our server was attentive and kind. The ambiance was romantic and upscale. The food fell short- uninspired and pricey. We got the crab spaghetti (not enough crab) and the trout (nice crispy fish skin, but the dish itself was nothing special). We were very excited for the food, but was disappointed. Maybe we'll return for the ambiance and drinks, but skip on the food.

good food. Great atmosphere. Menu is limited and out dated. I was expecting more seasonal ingredients but they haven't updated their menu yet. But still tasty food and a nice effort! Worth a visit if you are in the area. PS: please put some daily specials, and make your pasta more interesting and seasonal. Your 2 little pieces of scallops were perfectly cooked and delicious but squash season is over, give me something interesting accompany with the perfectly cooked scallops! Delicious salad but there was one mandoline sliced of `'local' rainbow radish in my salad. Wish I gotta taste more local radish in it. Great front of the house , great wine selection, tasty food. Hoping to see some improvements next time I visit. worth to try.

Beautiful decor and delicious meal overall. We had the strawberry cocktail and a Manhattan to drink, both very good. We started with the scallops (fresh and well cooked) and the polenta with mushrooms (earthy, flavorful, and delicious decreed two people who don't normally like mushrooms). We followed that up with the ribeye (large portion that my husband enjoyed with fries that we both devoured) and the gemelli pasta (incredibly flavorful and delicious).

Our first time eating there, TERRIBLE!!! All the food, except the crudités. Which was the only good we got that wasn't cooked. Ouch!! The cocktails were not bad, too much ice. And our server was lovely. Won't be going back, at all! And will tell everyone, and anyone, what experience we had. Just, ewe.

Beautiful atmosphere, absolutely antiquated, unoriginal preparations. Come here for a drink and to look at the building, but don't expect to be eating fine cuisine, or, in fact, anything remotely appetizing.

We have eaten at Kinsley several times since it opened. The addition of Hotel Kinsley and their restaurant was celebrated and the quality of service and food was cut above. We just went back and were utterly disappointed. Waited 45minutes for drinks Waited 2 hours for our meal Our order was lost by the waiter Our waiter never came back after taking our order nor did any manager to explain what was happening Other patrons just left as we were all in the same situation and confused Kudos to a really nice host who did everything in his power to help us. It's such a shame that a restaurant of this caliber disappoints so badly. Hope they get their act together.

I don't like leaving bad reviews of restaurants.. but if I were to base this off of just this one meal I would actually leave 1 to 2 stars . I've had some good meals here, but why do so many's restaurants feel the need to lazily throw some Asian dishes on their menus? 24$ for a ramen, with no protein, which is not the issue, but I'm trying to understand what could possibly warrant the price.. It was cold, with a bland broth, with a couple slices of the same radishes many other dishes were garnished with, There was nothing resembling like the depth of flavor and ingredients that ramen is known for. I've had much more satisfying meals out of a packet sitting on my couch.

The BEST mock tails for those who don't, or can't drink. Food is spectacular and service is amazing! The open kitchen is cool, we can really watch how our dinner is prepared from our seats. Unique experience and definitely a hidden gem in this area. Our server was amazing, though I can't recall her name, she was very kind and educated on the menu. Overall experience was 10/10!

I left a one star review last time I went about three years ago. I went back to see if anything had changed and it still is not worth going. The food is ok but the service is just not up to par. I had an entire drink spilled on me by the server and they didn't even think to comp the drink until I had to remind me that I had an entire martini dumped on my lap. Mistakes happen, and I actually don't blame the nice person that spilled the drink. I blame the management: If you are going to charge $25 for a burger, you need to train your staff to know how to deal. And you should also apologize to your customers and offer some compensation. Definitely not going back again after this.

This place is expensive, which I expect for a hotel restaurant, but the food does not live up to the price. We got there at 4:30 and were told it was lunch menu until 5, fine. We ordered a salad and deviled eggs while we waited. They were fine. For dinner I ordered a filet (this was in place of an other steak on the menu). I always order my steaks rare. When it arrived it was almost medium. I sent it back. It seemed like it took a long time--my wife had finished her trout (which was OK, not great). The waitress brought a plate which was the plate I sent back not the new steak. She apologized and went back to the kitchen for another 10 minutes. She stopped by and said the problem was the steak was medallions which were thin to it was hard to cook them rare. Finally, the new steak arrived, it looked like it had been a thick steak cut into 2 medallions after cooking. At least it looked rare. They served the mushroom sauce on the side so I could see the cook. For $55 I got a tough 10oz filet, mushroom sauce, mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. I've had a much better filet (and better sides) at Texas Roadhouse for half the price. When our $150 bill came, she commented that she took off the $16 Gem Salad. All-in-all the service was good as was some of the food. Nothing was outstanding or worth the price.

This was a very special meal. My wife and I had 'date night' here, which is very rare with two lil kids. Pricey, expect to pay about a C-note a person. But worth it. Fancy-ish, meaning not trying to be fancy or upscale. But definitely upscale. Taste was on point on everything. From cocktails throughout every course. But the star was the Whipped Ricotta focaccia appetizer, that was ridiculous... ridiculous! Love that the bank vault is still there as the receptionist area. Would have given 5 stars but was expensive. Definitely worth it but lose a star for value points. Not a place to go of you are looking for the best value. It's for special occasions. But not too fancy. So... falls in a niche area

The latest proof that Kingston is now a borough of NYC; Brooklyn North. The former Bank of New York building has been transformed into a very hip, comfortable restaurant with a boutique hotel above. The small kitchen is glass enclosed and part of the dining room. George Harrison graces the soaring wall above the fireplace and a classic rock soundtrack plays in the background. We started with a round of well made martinis. The menu, like the kitchen, is small. But it's well executed. The appetizers like brandade croquettes, whipped ricotta with focaccia, bagna coda vegetables, lamb meatballs and a satiny chicken liver pate are all wonderful. Share them with your table mates! Entrees include a crisp skinned Arctic char, a generous lobster salad, a Sicilian style pasta with swordfish and a couple of vegetarian options, a strip steak and chicken. Desserts like a perfect pot de chocolate and key lime tart are wonderful endings along with a great cup of coffee. The wine list has some interesting choices and several reasonably priced bottles. There's beer and ciders and wines by the glass as well. Service is relaxed but professional; something many upstate diners don't usually get to experience. There's a small barroom in the back, which is usually busy and where a local or two holds court. Kinsley is a welcome addition to Kingston's ever growing restaurant scene and along with Wildebeest across the street, this may raise the bar for future restaurants in town. I'd hope the small menu changes, at least with the seasons, but otherwise The Kingsley's a winner.

I really enjoyed our meal here the other night. I started with their martini, which sounded scary on the menu (olive oil?) but turned out surprisingly classic in taste. We ordered the heirloom tomato and artichoke appetizers, both simple and delicious. I had a very good cheeseburger and my friends had the chicken and tilefish. Main courses were very good though perhaps on the small size. Good french fries! Not cheap but not crazy either, except maybe for the ribeye entree. Service was friendly, smooth, professional. The outside terrace is lovely in the evening, even with the odd bat flying about.

This place is an excellent addition to the comeback of uptown Kingston. A great space in an old bank. Good vibe in a big space with very high ceilings. No complaints about anything at all. The chicken liver pate was a real standout...delish! Everyone is my party of 4 was more than happy with their entree. Pastas were excellent. The one with peas, pecorino and mint was 5*! I hope this establishment thrives along with the rest of uptown...it was surely packed tonight. I'd rate it a solid 4* in Manhattan, but a 5 up here.
