   Went for lunch, had a great experience. I can see how when it's busier at night, it could get loud. The food was great quality and the pricing was reasonable for lunch.

   We sat at the booth next to the fireplace, the perfect setting for a delicious lunch with our besties on a cold winter’s day. Our waitress was lovely, and made us feel right at home.

   Beautiful old stone house pre-revolutionary with fireplaces in all the rooms. Food is very good. I had chicken piccata which I thought was a little gloppy but in the past I’ve had the London broil with mushroom sauce and it was delicious. It comes with salad and potato of your choice. Service is always very good! Lovely and delicious dinner. Prices are very reasonable.

   Very busy Saturday night and wait staff did a good job. It was our 33rd anniversary as was submitted with reservation and it was forgotten by staff. Also we requested table for 2 in front of the fireplace but were seated in a corner. It was ok but the table for 2 was left empty all night. The roast duckling was excellent but the orange sauce was very amateurish, unlike a year previous which showcased the chef's skill with a cranberry-orange-brandy sauce. Our other dinner was the seafood assortment and was great. However an appetizer of steamer clams earlier must have had a bad clam, since one of us had major GI track issues later.

   The Hoffman House is in a charming historic building. The food was excellent, especially the French onion soup. Service was very good. Highly recommend.

   This was visit number 2 in a month. Both visits were excessively loud and the place was crowded. The duck cooked nicely and had good flavor but the mashed potatoes were dehydrated and doctored to have texture like mashed. Nachos first visit had guacamole and avocado but the second visit lacked avocado and guacamole on the nachos ewwww! Salads were fresh and crunchy. Super loud and crowded both times.

   The food was very good and well-priced. I ordered salmon, which was cooked med-rare, as I requested. Husband had coconut chicken with twice-baked potatoes.l0portions were large. My only complaint was that the room had no atmosphere. Although we sat by a glorious fire and there were nice LED table lights, the room chandelier was so bright that it ruined the ambience. Felt like a diner. Of they put low-wattage lighting in the current fixture, and lit up tables individually problem solved.

    We enjoyed an early New Years Eve dinner at 4:30 pm at The Hoffman House. Such a delicious meal for 30.00 per person. Sliced garlic steak with choice of baked, twice baked or horseradish mashed potatoes. Included a fresh salad with choice of dressings ( including blue cheese ) and bread. I can honestly say that The Hoffman House has the best cheeseburger in Kingston, NY. You can’t go wrong!
