Best Historic 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!

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.

A great dining experience. The food was excellent. In particular, the roasted chicken breast. The service was equally excellent. The ambiance was outstanding. And, the live jazz, performed by Kristina Koller, made the evening perfect.
