   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!

   Had an amazing dinner with my husband and friend. We started with the coconut shrimp and clams casino. Generous sized shrimp with a delicious side sauce. Perfectly cooked and tasty clams with no skimping on the bacon were next. Two of us ordered the Scallops Marsala over Angel hair pasta which was cooked to perfection! Melt in your mouth scallops and Marsala sauce was amazing. My husband had the London Broil, again perfectly seasoned and cooked. The waitstaff is very attentive and personable. From the Bartender, our waitress Sam to the busser, everyone is very pleasant. We highly recommend!

   Lovely old stone building! We sat in a room with a fireplace, and that was really great. The menu was good, and they had specials. The food was very good! The only downside was that the specials were pricey - ask for the prices if you are ordering from the specials menu, they don't list the prices there.
