About the restaurant
The Horned Dorset Inn is the quintessential destination for memorable fine dining and lodging in central New York, serving seasonal, contemporary and classical French cuisine. Chef Wratten combines produce from the restaurant’s own organic gardens with locally produced meats and cheeses. Fish is an affinity for the chef, given 25 years at his signature restaurant in Rincon, Puerto Rico, and vegetarians will delight in his mindful creations. Aaron is an alumnus of “Aureole” under Charlie Palmer and “Restaurant Daniel” under Daniel Boulud. Located in a beautifully restored historical building, in the small town of Leonardsville it has been lovingly managed by the same family for nearly 44 years. Information about accommodations in their gracious Victorian inn and off-premises catering are available on the website or by phone.

I was at Chachama years ago. I wanted to come back and bring my husband and friends. Thinking it was too far from our house , but I made the reservation and told them to come and they wouldn’t be disappointed. Well the food and service was outstanding . We will be back again and recommend it to others as well.

After taking the Parisian dining scene by storm, acclaimed chef Daniel Rose brings home the James Beard "Best New Restaurant" award for his very first stateside restaurant. Located in SoHo, the space is a gracious modern nod to fine European gastronomy, with crisp linens, fliberking candles, and whitewashed brick. Updating classical French cuisine with charm and verve, Rose shrinks the intercontinental divide separating the City of Light and the Big Apple, proving that the true essence of fine French dining can thrive in any time zone.

About the restaurant
We want Sophie's to be a place where one could have a good, hearty meal (comfort food), simple and unpretentious, at a fair price. Our goal is to produce an atmosphere where people can come for lunch, a full dinner, a late snack, a glass of wine or a big cup of coffee and feel comfortable and at home. Our menu is diverse enough for everyone, yet simple enough so the average person will not get overwhelmed with numerous menu choices and complications. Our basic premise is to provide quality food and good service at a fair price in an unpretentious atmosphere. The décor is modeled after classic French Bistros. French country antiques, large open shuttered windows, dark woods, soft pastel colors and walls covered with family pictures make Sophie's an intimate cozy environment

I have been going to Sophie’s for literally 20 years for special occasions. The food is consistently amazing, the servers are experienced and attentive, and the atmosphere is comfortable and beautiful. The owner, Peter, is amazing and friendly and often enhances the experience of eating here by stopping at the tables and chatting up the guests and offering a taste of his delicious liquor (I don’t know if he makes it or what but it’s amazing). Love this place and can’t say enough good things about it.

Jojo’s is JeanGeorge’s home grown restaurant. Jojo’s was the name his mother called Jean George as a child. Jojo’s is thus a treasure in this neighborhood. A lovely townhouse filled with amazing professionals who love & live food, a kitchen that consistently produces beautiful, delicious, fresh and interesting food consistently every night with low key comfortable panache. The salads are amazing. - warm seafood salad has often been a source of comfort and nutrition alongside a proper glass of fine wine to wash away the days worry for this diner. All the seafood is gorgeous - like the lettuce cup tuna tartar. Pastas always deliver - lovely textures & intense flavor combinations to die for. Entrees like the lobster, salmon and sea bass simply sing. Meats, like my Duck tonight, are some of the best cuts of met I’ve ever known. Wines are carefully selected with not a bad bottle in the bunch. Desserts are divine. The bread pudding I had one Christmas evening was a true gift with my Sauterne. However, my favorite is the most decadent rich butterscotch pudding I’ve ever had - another holdover from Jean George’s youth no doubt and a wonder of my world as well as all of those dozens whom I’ve shared it with. Jean George does so many things well. - ABCV, haute cuisine, fine French food as well as amazing steaks and more. It is perhaps his most elegant and pure expression of his love for food at Jojos that brings me back even after moving from the east side to the west. Joyeaux Noel and merci beaucoup Jojo & company.
