The Horned Dorset Inn is the quintessential destination for memorable fine dining and lodging in central New York, serving seasonal, contemporary and classical French cuisine. Chef Wratten combines produce from the restaurant’s own organic gardens with locally produced meats and cheeses. Fish is an affinity for the chef, given 25 years at his signature restaurant in Rincon, Puerto Rico, and vegetarians will delight in his mindful creations. Aaron is an alumnus of “Aureole” under Charlie Palmer and “Restaurant Daniel” under Daniel Boulud. Located in a beautifully restored historical building, in the small town of Leonardsville it has been lovingly managed by the same family for nearly 44 years. Information about accommodations in their gracious Victorian inn and off-premises catering are available on the website or by phone.

    An Elegant welcoming atmosphere began before even entering the building with the views of the gardens perfection offering a taste of what was to follow. The servers were efficient , personable and polite. The menu was offered as a welcoming variety that challenged my actual choosing ability ---- EVERYTHING was appealing. The experience was overall very positive ---- the food was excellent! Thank you for a great evening of dining.

    The food, service, food presentation and dining experience were superb. The cocktails and wine list offer a nice selection of options. The atmosphere is intimate and you are allowed to eat a pace that is leisurely and very enjoyable. There are daily chef specials and complementary pre and post bites from the chef to add a special thank you for dining with them. A must have is the Lemon Soufflé for dessert.
