    The place was beautiful, service was also very good. They did an awesome job renovation the place. The food was good, my salmon was perfectly cooked but servings were very small. That would be my only complaint. Overall good experience.

    Ambience was wonderful. I asked the bartender to make me something based on flavor profiles I liked and he did not disappoint. We grazed sharing the chips and dips which were a better portion than I expected and we didn't' finish so leave room for more. The beet salad as an app was just enough. We split the baked cod which was a good portion, moist and delicious. We didn't have room for dessert!

    A Perfect Valentine’s Dinner at The Courtroom – Abner Hotel: Our Valentine’s Day dinner at The Courtroom in the Abner Hotel was nothing short of spectacular. Located on the second floor, the restaurant welcomes you with a stunning lobby and fireplace, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening. The main dining room is beautifully designed, offering both elegance and incredible acoustics—ideal for enjoying the wonderful Brooklyn-based jazz trio playing old-time classics. The food was just as impressive as the ambiance. We started with the indulgent mushroom croquettes and the refreshing Amber salad, followed by perfectly prepared baked cod and a decadent lobster Newburgh we simply couldn’t resist. Dessert was equally exceptional—a delicate meringue cake and a rich Arethusa Farms ice cream sundae that left us savoring every last bite. Despite the restaurant being busy, the service was attentive, and the lively yet intimate atmosphere made for enjoyable conversations with fellow guests. We left absolutely satisfied and are already looking forward to returning in the spring to experience the rooftop bar. The Courtroom is a true gem—elevated dining with charm, character, and an experience worth savoring.
