25 minutes from house; great staff, good regional American food. We like to eat at the pretty bar on a Friday night (say “hi” to Tony, the bartender for us if you go). Dining room is a little quieter and also nice. No dinner service in the bar on Saturday nights.

Really good, local American bistro food at reasonable prices in Chatham, NY. The bar downstairs is fun & funky for a cocktail. I love the curried chickpea stew - it's a great option for vegetarians (and so yummy non-vegetarians will like it too). Non vegetarians should try the meatloaf topped with bacon.
