Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Storyteller - Inn at Bellefield offers a "great relaxed bar ambiance" with locally-sourced cocktails and gourmet dishes. While service can be slow due to "understaffing," the food, including the "braised short rib flatbread" and scallops, is "outstanding." Ideal for a casual drink with friends, the atmosphere and "hospitality" shine.

Excellent food with limited but creative menu. Not high on ambiance as tables are in lobby of hotel. A screen wall and some plants would go a long way to create an intimate dining area

Loved the entire meal, ambiance and service! It is a little off-putting that they are in the hotel lobby, but there was a beautiful fireplace and the finishes from the menu to the booth leather were beautiful. Our waiter Matt was very attentive and enthusiastic. I have recommended The Storyteller to several people already!!!

Restaurant is in the lobby of hotel. No obvious place to check in for our reservation - we were told by front desk to check in at bar. Ignored by busy staff for 5 minutes, and then just told to sit anywhere. Took 30 minutes to get a drink and order placed. They appeared to be understaffed and with poorly managed workflows.

What a terrific addition to the mid hudson/Poughkeepsie scene! The fine touches, like story book menus & space to continue the story... terrific! Locally sourced vegetables and grass fed beef make this a rarity: gourmet in a hotel restaurant. Our server was terrific and the cocktails aren't to be missed.

Waitress first day on the job, overall OK - but she got my order wrong twice - once the wrong meal, then the wrong prep. She was pleasant and they didn’t charge me for the meal I didn’t eat, they also comped the drinks…

Unfortunately, the service was really slow. It took two hours for us to get our meal at least should’ve comped around of drinks for the wait.

Beautiful new hotel! The Storyteller is located right in the open lobby of the hotel. Drinks were fantastic (lots of locally-sourced Hudson Valley inspired cocktails). Food was also amazing. Came to here to catch up with some girlfriends, we shared a bunch of appetizer dishes (the short rib flatbread was amazing!). Only semi-complaint was that service was a little slow, but to be fair, it was only the one bartender taking care of our large table and the bar (and he was excellent!). Even though I live close by, I want to come stay here just for an excuse to enjoy the Storyteller again.

Severely understaffed. One server/bartender for 20+ people. Out of many items on the menu. Nobody seemed to care

Our first time going and definitely not our last. Food was amazing and the drinks were top notch. The staff were amazing and super friendly. The menu is not big for food but what they have is cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the braised short rib flatbread
