We went to the Thayer over the July 4 (2025) weekend. My scoring on food (dinner, Zulu lounge, and Sunday Brunch) is based on the entire experience not a niggling thing here or there. It was either exceptional or not – nothing in between. It has been about 25 years since my last visit and happy to report the experience from food to service and everything in between – was exceptional.
Our server Monica was terrific and took special care of not only us but all of the patrons she cared for. She was awesome so was this total experience dining at the Thayer. Can hardly wait to get back there.
Highly recommend visiting this great and historic Hotel.

This restauraunt has amazing food!
Don’t let the look of the seafiod risotto fool you! It exploded with taste and every bite was savory and delicous! Salad was a decent portion and fresh! The atmosphere is amazing! The view of the Hudson River from the balcony is breathtaking and relaxing.
There is a quaint little garden below the restauraunt overlooking the river with all sorts of flowers. The daisies and black-eyed susans really set it off!
I took a photo with Sandy who has been a server at the restaurant for over 20 years. She said she was the first to receive her 5-star pin! Her and the rest of the staff were awesome and friendly!
The inside has a victorian feel that is relaxing as well. Wonderfully designed!
A must try if you are in the area or staying at the hotel!

Went for Sunday brunch and it was decently good. Multiple options such as stuffed shells, waffles, potatoes, scrambled eggs, etc but was not blown away.
Dessert section was quite large but nothing too insane or unique other than the chocolate fountain.
It wasn’t that busy either for a Sunday.
They don’t accept Amex which is surprising but you do get a military discount with ID.
Overall wouldn’t go back since it didn’t wow me for the price of $52 per person (before tax/tips)

Overall glad I went. Be prepared to spend $100 per person for dinner without drinks. Great for the historic building, River view and visiting West Point. The night I went there was a strong musty smell upon entering the restaurant but it seemed confined to the entrance. It’s a huge space and no one else was there so I thought it was a bizarre choice when they seated a couple with a baby literally within arms reach of my table. I have nothing against babies but they’re bound to make a fuss, and since COVID we shouldn’t be breathing down each others necks. Maybe they were seated there for a good view of the Hudson or some good reason. In any case it’s an honor to visit West Point – my cousin was a colonel and was recently buried there. Bottom line the food is decent but not your first reason to go.

Service was terrible. Head waitress had a condescending attitude. Drink orders were never taken. We each had to ask for our drinks after we received our appetizers, she still forgot my son’s drink. After about 10 min we tried to grab her attention and she put her finger up at us, motioning to wait and kept walking. The food was bland and overpriced. The seafood risotto was water and the actual risotto was still hard, did not have any flavor. Prime rib was ordered medium well, it came rare, and didn’t even have salt and pepper on it. The best dish served were the biscuits off of the app menu. An empty dining room and poor online ratings, management should be more involved in the day to day operations.

Some of the worst service I’ve ever experienced, and I didn’t have high expectations. Staff seemed utterly lost, took our order and 30 minutes passed with no updates. Seeing other guests who arrived after our party of four receiving their food, I asked the waitress who said she would “send a runner down to the kitchen.” 15 more minutes passed with no updates—makes one wonder, where is their kitchen?? Tried patiently waiting another 10 minutes but finally told them we were paying for what few of our drinks they actually brought us. Suddenly our food showed up, boxed and bagged for take out. Chicken burger didn’t have a chicken patty! The rest was sloppily assembled and the containers appeared smashed. It’s pretty clear they care not even one bit. Subpar in every way except the view.

It’s a very good restaurant with breathtaking views from the terrace. I think it’s underrated based on Google reviews. Salmon with rice, beets salad, a glass of Chardonnay, everything was delicious. Staff was very welcoming. This isn’t a NYC fine dining restaurant yet finding a good restaurant in countryside/suburbs isn’t easy and this one is excellent. I had a wonderful time dining there and felt taken care off. Breakfast was great too and staff is most welcoming.

Vegan eats review:
Was pleasantly surprised to find vegan eats.
Squash bisque (a tad too thick and the skins of the squash weren’t completely blended in)
Bulgogi (super flavorful. Could use a touch more rice to help cleanse the palate between bites) if they added baked tomatoes it would send it to another level!
Would love to see some vegan desserts in the future.
Quiet establishment and attentive service but not so much you felt you couldn’t relax and enjoy your meal.
Old school vibes. Try to get a table by the window for an amazing view.

Yesterday, I celebrated Mother’s Day here with my family. The brunch was simply amazing. The food was delicious and the staff was phenomenal -very attentive. Everything was well organized and running on time. My mom and mother-in-law who are in their 70s thoroughly enjoyed the day. This is my 6th time dining here and I’m never disappointed with the service. Keep up the great work.

We had an amazing guide GLENN for our West Point tour. It was a natural to make a reservation at The Thayer for lunch. We walked in to an almost completely empty, huge restaurant that resembled the dining room in a nursing home and smelled like a room deodorizer. They were accommodating when we asked to sit out on the patio overlooking the beautiful view of the Hudson. Every table had oversized dirty tablecloths that looked so unappealing and left from a decade ago. Our server was nice enough to put on a fresh cloth before seating us.
Three of the four asked if it would be possible to order the Caesar Salad with a scoop of their chicken salad, rather than the grilled chicken add on. Initially the server said the kitchen wouldn’t do it, but we all begged, and she returned with the good news that they would accommodate us. Boy, we didn’t know what we were in for. When our lunch arrived we had a Caesar Salad with something that resembled a lump of puréed food in the shape of a chicken breast all patted together. It was dry, inedible and just pathetic. Do chefs taste the food they serve beforehand? Or for that matter see how a plate looks before sending it out to the guest?
This place had needed a complete overhaul for at least 10 years!! That was the last time we were there and had a very similar experience. I was sure it had to have improved. For such a prestigious institution WEST POINT should hold their restaurant to the same standards they do their Cadets!! Don’t go, McDonalds is a way better choice!
