Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Hyde Park

A quiet Sunday afternoon, just before Thanksgiving, so we headed to Moderne Barn at four for an early dinner. We shared an appetizer of mushroom dumplings, and husband had his favorite tuna dish, with perfectly cooked tuna accompanied by white rice and pea pods in a delicious and moderately spicy sauce. I ordered the scallops on a bed of rice and mushrooms, also incredibly tasty. It was a wonderful meal and a quiet time before Turkey Day. And, as usual, the Tanqueray gin martini straight up was perfect. The service was impeccable and parking is easy! Always a dele sable place for good cuisine.

Oh, baby, what an experience! My date and I, we were absolutely smashing, yeah! We kicked things off with some bread slathered in beef tallow—oh, it was new, exciting, and downright delicious, baby! Then, we shared the green goddess salad and the 5 onion soup—both of 'em were pure magic, I tell ya! So good, I couldn't help myself, I drank that soup like it was liquid gold. For the main event, we had the lasagna and the trout fish and chips—timeless, baby! So classic, I thought I’d just float away on a cloud of flavor. Lee, our groovy server, was a total legend and made the whole experience a real treat. We'll be back soon, baby—no doubt about it! Yeah!

We had a wonderful lunch sitting near the gorgeous windows overlooking the Hudson. The wait staff were courteous and friendly and attentive. We had that days soup and sandwich special. The squash soup was delicious and served in a mug, so you didn't miss a drop. The grilled chicken sandwich with arugala and asiago cheese on a grilled baguette was really tasty.

This restaurant is a local favored for many other people that live nearby. I’ve been coming to this restaurant from Connecticut for over 10 years and I’ve never been dissatisfied. The food and service and atmosphere are excellent. 

We enjoyed Elm! My kale salad was excellent and the burger was out of this world.
