This review is long overdue. The Cookery was a listed vendor at the venue where we hosted our baby shower, and after visiting the restaurant, we were immediately impressed by both the food and service. Since catering our event, we've returned many times, and the food is consistently top-notch. This is easily one of our favorite restaurants. The menu and flavors are perfectly balanced, and the customer service is excellent. If you're in the Westchester area, I highly recommend dining at The Cookery. And don’t miss the specials!!

Been wanting to eat at this restaurant for a while. Decided to go with friends wasn’t sure what to eat a few choices in my head. Went with the steak dinner which was very pricey, but figured can’t mess a good expensive steak up.went with the meatballs for appetizers which were very good. But the steak had to be the worse steak I ever actually had. No bread no salad no nothing. Very very high priced place for what you get can’t say much more than that. I’m sorry I never had to do a review before. But I was that disappointed

We came here the other night for our first night without kids in a long time. We have eaten here since The Cookery opened, had a party here, and rented The Doughnation Food truck. So clearly, we are fans.

However, last night made me feel like we aren’t missing out. Though the staples are consistently great, pork osso bucco, meatballs, and stickabutta, the menu has become boring. The quality is evident in the charcuterie board, but nothing on the menu screams “That looks special, I want to try that”. I still think about the beef heart dish I had on bone marrow garlic crostini from years ago. Nothing current comes close.

The bartender was great and didn’t rush us through our meal. They need to adjust how they write the specials board as there was confusion over dessert. It looked like there was a blueberry cheesecake option because the sauce listed on top was much lighter, making you think the pound cake was a separate dessert. Apparently, it was all one thing. Finally, whoever was messing with the playlist, needs to stop. The music kept stopping and starting, changing genres, and repeating artists. It was like two staff were fighting over songs. I miss the Gen X playlist that ranged from Pearl Jam to Salt n Pepper. We would probably only go back when craving specific staple dishes.

We had a lovely evening celebrating a birthday. The staff was attentive and accommodating to our larger group from the start. The host Mark calling ahead of our reservation to confirm seating arrangements and was super sweet in helping an elderly guest navigate the tight spaces of the restaurant. The food was delicious, and our server gave excellent suggestions. Highly recommend!

A very enjoyable dinner! We got the octopus and duck liver for apps, very delicious. For main dishes, we got the osso buco which came with a delicious pear sauce. We also got the market steak which was a little dry. Drinks were very well made!

The Cookery never fails. Menu is loaded with great, interesting choices. From appetizers to dessert, I've never had a disappointing experience at The Cookery. Service and atmosphere is tops too! Joe

Absolutely love it here! The brunch options are amazing, and if you get there before the special sells out, you're in for a real treat. Every visit has been phenomenal. The dishes are as creative as they are delicious, the atmosphere is warm, and the drinks are fantastic.

I was a guest for a private event with a fixed menu over the weekend and was BLOWN AWAY by the down-to-earth yet super professional and accommodating staff. (They made sure everyone with food restrictions/allergies - ?‍♀️ - had something to eat!) The food was delicious - unique flavors and ingredients that you normally don’t see on a menu. And to the main server Bryan (with a “y”) - thank you for being the bee’s knees!

Every meal at Cookery is memorable. Consistent service and great new dishes every time we go. Excellent dessert special. The fish prep with the baby lentils and pea purée was outstanding with the perfectly cooked sea bass.

Only four stars because the appetizers and dessert were better than the entrees though the latter was also great. Great atmosphere and service, and parking available nearby.

Get the pizza rustica, it seemed risky at first but it was amazing. The caramelized cheesecake for dessert was also great. The two entrees-paccheri and bolognese-were mehhh.

The appetizer (meatballs) and pasta dish was good. The secret sandwich was tasty and MASSIVE but also nothing we couldn't have gotten at a high end deli. The short rib was not good. The kitchen was slammed while we were there so the food took forever and when it came out the short rib was very dry and overcooked. The buttery salty potatoes had to be sent back because they were flash fried but hadn't been put in long enough so the inside of the potatoes was raw. To their credit they took off the short rib and potatoes for the check, but we left a nice tip because the server was very nice.
