Visited this past weekend for a dinner date and had a great time! We ate outside on the patio; atmosphere is very welcoming and the vibe is upscale casual dining which we loved. The service was great, everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed the cocktails we ordered, and everything we tried from appetizers to dessert was fresh and delicious (we ordered the cheese bread basket, burgers with goat cheese, as well as coconut rice pudding and tiramisu for dessert. Yum!) We look forward to coming back!

What an amazing gem down the street from me when I am in the area! Loved everything from the cocktails and wine to the appetizers and mains. I highly recommend Pitanga North! Next on list is Pitanga South! Keep up the excellent service and amazing drinks and food experience!

Wow, we had a delicious dinner here tonight! The chicken croquettes were the star, cheese bread was yummy, fish stew excellent, kale salad was simple and fresh as could be. We finished with the house-made vanilla ice cream w/ dulce de leche and it was nothing short of sugar and fat heaven! The classic caipirinha was masterful. I'm a local, and I truly hope they keep the service and vibe warm and down-to-earth (the maitre d' tonight was a gem). The ambience is lovely, and there's plenty of outdoor seating , too. Highly recommend!

Fabulous place with expert service and truly glorious food. The primo/secondo piatto structure of the menu leads you to very interesting choices. Man, I sound like an AI, but I actually mean it.

The service was gracious and truly professional, on par with one-star Michelin Manhattan gastronomy. The food was surprisingly spunky--while easily operating on an haute cuisine level--with an unequivocal Brazilian edge.

Also, go for the cocktails; the Yuzu/Miso drink (I forget ita exact name) is a gloriously well-balanced affair, as are the more mainstream caipirinhas.

The current restaurant photos do not do this restaurant justice. The Gunks have been waiting for a place like this! Or maybe, it was just I. Either way, visit!

A local friend recommended we try the new spot, Pitanga North. We were in town from NYC for my birthday weekend and my old fave had closed a year before. Pitanga North did not disappoint! Everything about it was wonderful: the food, the drinks, the ambiance, the super friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food was exquisite!! I have to admit my favorite dishes were the appetizers, especially the carrot dish and the tempura sweet potato. They were nothing like I expected and were both amazing!!! I I’m still thinking about them and may go back today for more. Beautiful and creative with layers and layers of complementary flavors and textures. So well done!! For mains, my kid had the perfect medium burger and loved it, and I had the tile fish, which was delicious, but it was overshadowed by our exquisite appetizers. I enjoyed a single, perfect flavorful cocktail (the new yuzu cocktail with bourbon), and it was a lovely birthday. We will def be back to enjoy the apps and try new dishes!

EDIT: I was craving those carrots (I know, carrots?!) and the delicious romesco in the crispy sweet potato dish, so we went back the next day and enjoyed our favorite dishes and tried some other dishes. Everything was so delicious! And consistent! And the staff treated us like old friends. What a fantastic place! We will be back anytime we are anywhere close to Gardiner. Thanks again!!

Fantastic food and drinks! This is a charming, attractive restaurant with really great food. My favorite was the sweet potato tempura. Small, curated menu with options for all diets. Omg the rice pudding dessert was so good! So happy to have a new, good spot!

As a Brazilian, I can say for sure it’s not authentic Brazilian food, but more like a fusion between Brazilian and Spanish/ American. The environment is very nice and the waitress are very friendly and welcoming. They took their time to explain the menu and options available. We ordered coxinha( chicken crocket) and that was my favorite. It was warm and fresh, I love it. For dinner we ordered the moqueca and feijoada. Both was a very small portion with not too much flavors and the feijoada really disappointed me because there’s no meat, just two little pieces of fat( feijoada is like a soup of black beans cooked with pork) and came with a slice of avocado( that definitely it’s not like we make feijoada). The drinks was good and we was expecting more options of desserts. Overall we enjoy it, but there’s room for improvement.

Loved everything about this place. Great service, lovely ambiance and amazing food. We shared the cheese bread and the beets for apps and the fish stew and sirloin for mains. I wasn't sure what to expect as a first time diner at this new restaurant, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. This will be at the top of our list upon every return to town. We didn't even get a chance to take pictures of our full plates because we couldn't wait to dig in.

The sirloin was delicious, and somehow the carrot appetizer was equally so. I have had grilled/oven baked carrots at home before and loved it. However, I have never had a carrot as good as a steak.

We had a truly wonderful dining experience during our night out! The passion fruit mignonette paired beautifully with the oysters—such a unique and refreshing twist. We shared one of the evening's specials, the picante for two, which was perfectly seasoned and elevated by the chimichurri and wild ramps. The service was exceptional—some of the best we’ve had in a long time. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Deliciousness! Food was perfectly cooked with seasonings and sauces not like anything else in this area. The appetizers perfectly made, even the tempora was light and tasty, beet salad was out of this world, chicken croquets; yes please! Unique and delicious cocktails too. Our server, Matt was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Loved the casual yet upscale ambiance! Can’t wait to go back!

New restaurant in Gardiner, that was really a wonderful experience. Delicious, fresh food that was plated beautifully, good drink selection, though I didn’t try any cocktails, super friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a nice patio to boot. I’ll definitely return and make sure to try everything on the menu, and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone else who’d like a more high-end dining experience in the Hudson Valley!
