Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Beacon

we love going to terrain!!! we love walking in to the store and being overwhelmed by all the plants. the menu is always full of choices, making a selection challenging.....from the yummy complimentary bread and cocktails to the pork tenderloin and salmon...and finally to the cheese cake .....a good time was had by all!!!

Arethusa has always been a great experience. They sweat the details and operate as if they expect to be a perpetual 5 star restaurant. There are hints of well-considered minutiae everywhere you look. For example, a glass saucer arrived on a desert plate that had a small cutout of tacky shelf liner material. My guest and I were impressed that the shelf liner was there so the saucer wouldn't slide off the plate. Water is offered either carbonated or flat. You will be given complimentary fresh made bread, and probably a shot of cold cucumber soup (or seasonal flavor of their choosing). Flavors are expertly honed and curated. Plates arrive at the table photo-ready and impressively organized. Best to choose not to look at the menu prices, and cost is sort of besides the point here. It is as fancy a dining experience as you will get in the county of Litchfield, CT. Appetizers and entrees have relatively small portion sizes, but each bite is to be savored. The gourmet cheeseboard is a necessity, as is the savory lamb belly, as are the pork dumplings, as is the tuna tartare with homemade potato chips.... I have never had a bad morsel of food here. Staff is beyond attentive; telekinetic is a more apt word. They see and sense exactly when to engage and usually do the right thing at the right time. Bonus: they are also associated with a working dairy farm and make their own ice cream. And it is THAT good.

If you're looking for a beautiful dining experience in Westchester...Apropos is the place to go! I had had a very difficult day that ended in a beautiful way: with a late, solo birthday dinner at Apropos. The ambiance is lovely, warm an inviting. The food was quite perfect! I had the Branzino and the crème brûlée. Both were ideal and I am rather picky. The broth for the Branzino was remarkably seasoned with subtle layers and an unctuous feel that ideally paired with the fish. The crème brûlée was unconscionably delicious...that I did not finish it all could be seen as an act of restraint...but...mostly I was just too full! And as wonderful as the food was, it's really the staff that made my night! Kind, warm, attentive without being overwhelming... What more could I have asked for? I can hardly wait to go back!

Nice birthday dinner with our family. Missed seeing Monica!

We are at North Plank a lot and co the staff and food…
