Stissing House is one of the oldest taverns in America, located at the crossroads of the village of Pine Plains in the heart of Dutchess County. It has hosted feasts for generations. Downstairs, intimate dining rooms and fireside lounges are ideal for parties of 8-10 people. Upstairs, the oldest Dutch Colonial ballroom in America is designed for long-table dinners and weddings of 25-150 people. Gather your friends and family for pitchers of shandy and wood fired eggs the day before or morning after your party. Chef/Proprietor Clare de Boer cooks food that is generous and has a sense of place. Ingredients come from surrounding farms and are prepared on the tavern’s mammoth hearth. The eggs are laid today, and the food is made for feasting.
Colonial tavern with a wood-burning oven featuring seasonal meals in cozy rooms.

Finally it was time for dinner and boy did they deliver! Was told the chicken was a classic, on the menu since they opened, so had to try. Best chicken we’ve ever had. Crispy on the outside, so juicy and tender inside. Artichoke and cup of broth also highly recommend. Seafood stew was lacking salt/flavor. Scallops were solid. Coconut cake is a must!
I got the snow dance chicken… Perfectly juicy with a crisped skin. Melt in your mouth good. My boyfriend got the Bavette steak with broccolini . It was perfectly cooked and very flavorful.
I’m a huge fan of rustic charm and cozy ambiance, and Stissing House delivered on every front. The timeless beauty of the space, combined with its warmth and inviting atmosphere, is truly something special.
But it wasn’t just the setting that impressed us, the food was just as exceptional!! My fiancé went as far as to say that the burger he ordered might be the best he’s ever had in his life. I had the chicken and potatoes, and it was truly remarkable, I’m still thinking about it 😉
To top it all off, the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, especially our wonderful waitress, she was extremely attentive and thoughtful! When my fiancé asked a question about the oysters but decided not to order them, she surprised us by bringing a few to the table as a gift. After learning it was our anniversary, she brought out a complimentary slice of coconut cake with a candle, which was such a sweet gesture. And when I commented on how cute the postcards were that came with the check, she even brought us a few extras to take home.
It was truly the most attentive and thoughtful service we’ve ever experienced. She went above and beyond to make our night extra special, and it’s a dinner we’ll never forget!
Service was just okay. Our waiter was nice, but never really checked on us. Wine glass sat empty on the table and were never asked if we wanted another. We were also asked if we wanted the coal-roasted potato with dinner to which we said yes, but it never came.
Overall, it’s a beautiful space with a great atmosphere, but the food and service didn’t match expectations given the cost and online hype.
Stissing House remains a destination, however. Whenever I hear someone may be heading upstate, I’ll be asking them if they will be traveling near or staying in the eastern side of the Hudson Valley.
In particular, every moment with the staff demonstrated the care that they treat all of their guests. I especially loved the attentive service that Taylor and Emma showed us once we were seated in the main dining area. The food was amazing and well balanced. I’m very happy I listened to our hosts, because the wood fired halibut was sublime, especially with the recommendation on the wine pairing. The rest of the meal was similarly great…
Suffice to say, I’ll be back. I’ll almost certainly be bringing more people to a restaurant that offers such an amazing lounge room and incredible food…
Also, the sourdough and cultured butter alone would keep me coming back.
