Trotwood is the on-site restaurant at Glen Falls House and offers simply delicious food with lots of items sourced from their own garden. It's a great place to relax and have some good grub before hitting The Tavern for a little party time across the road. Wahoo!
We've been here many times but the most special experience was the night we got engaged. Incredible food + wine including a cacio e pepe pasta that rivaled the ones we had in Italy! Definitely make a reservation. (25 mins from Glen Falls House)
For those who want something a little more laid back and casual for dinner (or a pre-dinner snack/cocktail) this spot is fantastic with Malaysian-inspired fare + solid drinks. They have a patio too, and it should still be nice enough for a chill evening out there. Enjoy! (No reservations, but you could call if you are trying to go in a large group to give them a heads up.) 25 mins from GFH.
FUN is the name of the game here but they also won one of Bon Appetit's Best New Restaurants titles when I was working there. Features Carribean-inspired food, island cocktails, music, and vibes, vibes, vibes. Call or email for reservation for 6 or more. rez@lildebsoasis.com
This was another special spot we visited on the night we were engaged. Terrific food and vibes in their cozy candlelit dining room. Solid cocktails and a variety of items including an oyster bar, sharable apps, local fish and meat dishes. Ressie's are available via OpenTable: http://bit.ly/2KJs1JD
Still going after dinner in Hudson and want a sexy cocktail in a spot with a speakeasy vibe? Oh yeah, this swanky ass bar is ALSO where we came the night we were engaged. Go ahead and order something stiff—it's worth your money. FYI: Closes at midnight.
A quick 30-min drive from Glen Falls House, Gaskins is a local fave and has supremely delicious farm to table food from a husband and wife team. You can't go wrong with the menu, no matter what you order. If you want to go in a large group, I would call to try to arrange that.
The River Grill is the in-house restaurant of The Stewart House Inn in Athens, NY. About 25 mins from GFH it's known for tasty local cuisine from Chef Bob Turner. Features a wood-fired grill, full bar, & live music. Planning on going with more than a couple people? I would call/email to make a res. (518) 444-8317 info@stewarthouse.com.
