Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Rhinebeck

The food is always delicious. This time we have to rave about the octopus appetizer and the monkfish entree. Will definitely order them again as well as the all time favorite the tuna tartare. Thanks for a delicious meal.

I went with a friend for our annual Christmas lunch at the Red Lion Inn. The server was very attentive and sought out answers when he did not have the information to respond to a question We had the duck comfit which was tender and delicious. Dessert was my favorite- brown sugar cake with ice cream. The whole experience was excellent.

I would highly recommend the tuna appetizer. By far the best item on the menu. The crispy rice cake accompanying the tuna was a perfect pairing. It was slightly oily with the consistency of a potato chip, but added needed crunchiness to the dish. The pork chop was delicious. The sauce was sweet and tangy, not spicy at all to my taste. However, be aware that it is cooked medium with pink in the middle. Same with the duck - cooked medium rare. The duck was also exceptional with no gaminess. I highly recommend both dishes. The chocolate dome was a bit of a disappointment. Although the chocolate was rich and delicious, the entire dessert was rock hard with the sections separating from each other. You really need a knife to eat it. I would definitely return to the restaurant but would order a different dessert.

Atmosphere was lovely. Service was great. Food delicious.

Truly a treat - amazing atmosphere, service, food & drinks. And with a view. Best spot around.
