Millbrook

About the restaurant

At The Millbrook Inn, the term “local food” is literal: we are surrounded by family farms of every kind, and insist our menu is sourced only from the finest ingredients in Millbrook and the Hudson Valley. In our elegant but laid-back bar and conservatory, we serve elevated, but not fussy, American cuisine, supporting local farmers and purveyors of every kind: from produce to eggs; from poultry to pork; from dairy to maple syrup. Our signature burger, has been called “one of the best burgers” in the Hudson Valley. In the evening, our intimate bar comes alive, with a wood-burning fireplace, great wines, and local, award-winning spirits and liquors. Just like our kitchen, we insist our bar is local; and showcase the best wines and spirits produced right here in Millbrook, the Hudson Valley, and New York State wine regions. We also offer outdoor dining, in our adjacent patio set amidst flower gardens and string lights.

Cafe Vignetto is a family owned and run Italian restaurant where everything is made from scratch that will never fail to provide you with an outstanding dining experience. We came across it in listings on Google and Open Table, both of which listed it as "Exceptional" and they weren't kidding. We were greeted by a gracious and charming gentleman who happened to be the first cousin of the owner, who sai that he has been here over the past 10 years from Italy, and he made our entire evening memorable. This restaurant appears to have a core of regular customers, and if I lived in the area, I would be there often as well. It is located in a comfotable homey setting with dark wood and subtle lighting. The Menu is enormous, and features a first page of highlighted dishes, and between that and the remainder of the Menu, I would have been happy with many of the selections. Everything was prepared fresh to order, from scratch, and to perfection, with very generous portions. Each sauce was distinctly different and flavorful, and not reliant on a single house sauce as any other establishments would use. The service was friendly, courteous, attentive, and we were treated like family. At the end of dinner, we were presented with a dessert menu hightlighted with photographs of delights that all appear to be home made, like everything else there, so if you can, try to save some room. You won't regret it. Mille Grazie.

Stopped at the bar for a drink and stayed for dinner. The bartender and waitress were charming, attentive and helpful. We had the humas and vegetable appetizer, the bread was warm and fresh and the plate was large enough to share. We then had the Catskill hand pies, they were outstanding. The bar has a large local selection, and the staff bartender was very well versed in the products. Very glad we stayed for dinner!
