Best Lunch Restaurants in Bear Mountain

My sister and I decided to visit Bear Mountain for High Tea in memory of our Mom who was born in London. We had a lovely time. The tea selection was plentiful and both were delicious. Then the tower of finger sandwiches and goodies arrived - everything was wonderful. And the surroundings within and outside the Bear Mountain Inn are gorgeous. Thanks for a special time!

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!

We had a lovely lunch at the Thayer. The fried chicken was expertly seasoned and the best I've had. Crunchy where it should be and juicy and tender inside. The Cole slaw was just right. Great snap to the fries. The other dish was the Chicken Salad club. Hit every mark and totally enjoyed it. We also ordered the soup of the day and the only mishap was it was brought out not piping hot. A quick word to the waiter and the soup was retuned and the temperature was corrected. In fairness, most restaurants never serve piping hot soup, which they should. We had a view of the Hudson and the ambiance of the hotel and restaurant is old world elegance. The price was very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. We will definitely go back. It would be a fabulous place to watch the autumn colors. Next time.

Yesterday was the first time I ate at the Birdsall House. I decided to eat off the Sunday Brunch menu. The prix fix was a mere $30, which included a bloody Mary or Mimosa, an appetizer and an entree. I chose the virgin Bloody Mary, which was extremely delicious--didn't miss the vodka at all! I also had the very flavorful and creamy butternut squash soup as the appetizer . Corned beef hash with two eggs over easy was my chosen entree. The hash was not salty at all, and the pieces of corned beef were flavored nicely with sweet onions and potatoes. The serving was more than plentiful and also came with toast. Service was extremely friendly, prompt, but not rushed at all, even though the restaurant was extremely busy. My eating partner and I were attended to regularly in a most pleasant way.

Had a quick lunch that was very tasty. Service was fast and the server very pleasant in helping to decide on the tacos selected
