"Arrived to a quaint, cozy restaurant for a visit on a Saturday night for date night. We were personally greeted warmly by Serge, a passionate chef who definitely is accomplished and proud of his work. Contemplating the menu and wanting to start with a bunch of apps, we were told that under no conditions could we place an order for just apps and THEN order our entrees- we had to order our entire meal. We had no idea what we wanted for entrees and wanted to sample the apps first, but were given no other choice. We get that with kitchen timing and all... however, at their price point (high) AND the fact we were willing to accept delays in our meal delivery because WE wanted to dine the way we preferred, you would think that was ok.. but no. Not just a polite no, but an ADAMANT no. Yikes. Ok. Ok, so we got past that and ordered the oil poached carrots (deliciously executed and the sauce was divine) the falafel plate (tasty, but only 2 small falafel for $16.. and the smoked eggplant (exquisite Looking forward to our entrees , we were both sadly disappointed. The lamb was cooked perfectly to my request, however it was served to me cold, had ZERO seasoning (not even salt and pepper and with the same sauce used on the falafel plate- which was far too delicate and did not highlight the hearty lamb. The trout was also perfectly cooked, however, served on a HUGE bed of cold chickpeas with a green sauce that was also flavorless. Both entrees made for a very strange combination of hot and cold, and sadly lacked the flavor our appetizers had... and we were not impressed. At almost $40 per entree, it was a letdown. Not to be discouraged, we ordered coffee and an espresso and dessert. The espresso was served spilled all over the plate and was not espresso but a thin, watery concoction that wasn't even coffee. The coffee was also horrible. A second server happened by the table and upon seeing what we were served, apologized for the other waiter, swept our beverages away and brought us new, better coffees. The dessert (a toffee pudding) was tasty. Overall, not great, not overly horrible. The disappointment comes from paying almost $300 for dinner and not being able to enjoy the meal the way we had wanted to, from having dishes served that were temperature confused lacked flavor and a mediocre waitstaff experience. Maybe it was a off night. Maybe it's up and down like so many of the reviews on here seem to indicate. I believe the heart is in the right place, but somehow the execution isn't right on My suggestion is to go there and give it a try- but order apps only It's worth a visit."

"Got the chicken and broccoli alfredo. Highly disappointed. Didn't finish the dish because it had no flavor. The chicken was very overdone as well. Would have rather had jarred alfredo sauce."

"I went to Troutbeck tonight for dinner with my wife and parents. The grounds and ambience are absolutely beautiful, but the food fell well short of what it should be, especially at these prices. My wife 's pork was bland, dry and overcooked. The mushrooms they were served with seemed to be sautéed without any seasonings. Some of the nectarines in her salad seemed to be rotten. I had the lobster, which was surprisingly unflavorful. The side of corn was good. My parents had the bass, which I didn 't try, but they said it was good. The service was slow and inattentive. We took a look at the dessert menu, but none of it was appealing: Lava cake, cheesecake...tomato sorbet? After dinner, at the ice cream shop down the road (Kelly 's excellent), we bumped into another couple who had been eating at Troutbeck at the same time as us, and who had similarly not been interested in dessert there after what they said was a mediocre and disappointing meal. This restaurant is charging high end prices. The food should be masterful and exquisite. Unfortunately, it was far from that. Go here for the grounds, maybe a cocktail...then spend your money on dinner elsewhere."

"My wife and I have been here for almost many months. This is by far the best meal you will find without traveling to Poughkeepsie or Rheinbeck. Their quality, coupled with consistently excellent service and great cocktails, makes them a place in the Amenia/Dover area."
