We are in Newburgh for the weekend and didn't know any restaurants. We went to Open Table because we've never had a bad recommendation. The restaurant was a gem. Located in a 200+ year old tavern, it has a lot of charm and old world details. It was obvious from the conversations around us that this is a popular spot for locals. I began my meal with a Jalapeño Margarita. It had just the right amount of kick with a nice lime freshness. My wife and I each had the New England Clam Chowder from the specials menu. It was tasty with lots of large pieces of clam. My wife had the Steak Frites and I had a boneless Veal Chop. Both were delicious and perfectly cooked. For dessert, we shared a Creme Brulee. Glad we chose this place for our dinner.

The character and history is only surpassed by the food! Monica took excellent care of us too. A must eat place if you're in the area!
Eduardo
Unbelievable service and dining experience. The food was insanely delicious and the tavern ambiance of the restaurant gives it a very romantic rustic vibe.
HudsonValley Gems
This place has been around since 1801—starting out as a stagecoach stop, later transforming into a Prohibition-era speakeasy, then part brothel, and now a fine dining restaurant. Yet most people whiz past it in their cars, unaware that this unassuming old tavern serves some of the best cocktails and cuisine in the Hudson Valley.
If you arrive early, you might be lucky enough to run into the owner—warm, welcoming, and hospitable—who just might let you in through the backdoor as he opens the place.
Wander through the creaking, narrow corridors and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped through a portal: time travel, in real time.
What an experience. This is what makes the Hudson Valley an inscrutable gem—there’s always something new to discover.

Feels very fancy, not sure we were ready for that. Everything was quite expensive and small portions. Tasty, but not like the description in the menu. I expected a bit more to be honest. Wait staff were fine. Overall everything was ok, but I probably won't be going back.

Very old establishment that honestly adds to its charm. The mussles were phenomenal. The steak was a little bland but cooked perfectly. The service although sooo nice was very slow and the food took far too long to come out.
This was a great find when we went to Brotherhood winery. Food and service were fantastic. I wish i lived closer. We will definitely make an excuse to go back!

We stopped in for dinner not knowing anything about the restaurant. The atmosphere was very quant & intimate. We ordered the special prix fixe 3 course dinner and were very impressed! The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were just right! The service was great. Very happy we wandered in. Next time it’ll be a destination!

My first time eating here. The bar is wonderful. The atmosphere in general is quite interesting. I really like the sensation that the Tavern has been here forever, which it has!
We started with mussels, which were really perfectly prepared. The Caesar salad was also good, perhaps a bit more anchovies would have enhanced what was a very moved salad.
Our main course was fusilli carbonara and it was delicious.
I love crème brûlée but tonight it was the only disappointment, the sugar coating did not taste fresh and the pudding uneventful.

The smoked meats on the charcuterie board were phenomenal. We loved all of the character and charm as well as the history of the building. The owner Tom and his wife were so kind and attentive. We got dessert to go but they still brought out ice cream for my boyfriend's birthday! When in NY we will definitely be back to visit.
