What an incredible experience. Let’s start with the excellent service. Warm towels given as soon as you’re seated and our server offered knowledgeable recommendations, then offered subtle but constant attention throughout. We were pleasantly surprised by the mushroom tea and other ‘off the menu’ appetizers. Our food was superb and the portions were filling. Please stop here if you’re in the area!

The ambiance of the restaurant was delightful, and the service was outstanding. Despite its small size, the place exuded charm, although the paintings on the wall seemed a bit rough. Moreover, both the bread and dessert were superb, although the meat was slightly tough.

My wife and I just had dinner at the Cook’s House. We opted for the 5 course tasting menu. It consisted of a first serving of warm vegetable consume followed by an amuse bouche of yellow plumb and pickled radish with goat cheese puree. Next was chilled heirloom tomato and cucumber soup ; then linguini with almonds, pistachios, & hazelnuts, olives, lemon, garlic and Parmesan cheese. I had the whitefish with miso-soy tomato vinaigrette and crispy sushi rice and she had the new york steak with chanterelle mushrooms and sweet corn puree. Next came grilled milkweed pods with Shishito peppers, squash blossom with chili crisp and fried egg sauce. Dessert was a chocolate-blueberry tart. The linguine and grilled milkweed pods were the unanimous favorites. The flavor development was exquisite. We chose wine pairing and they did a good job of matching the dishes. The service was spot on and pace of the meal perfect. The space is small and quite noisy, but that is the sound of patrons enjoying the dining experience

Absolutely one of the best meals of my life! My partner and I both got the 5-course tasting meal, and I did the wine pairings as well. The food was beautifully crafted and absolutely delicious. The wine pairings were great too! I’m still thinking about the parsnip soup and chocolate & tahini tart – both of those dishes may have changed my life! The steak was also divine.

The incredible reviews are accurate. So worthwhile. Great food, wine, and service. Worth the extra expense. So so glad we went.

Intimate setting with around 10 tables in the living room of an old house. Right at first look it seemed two crowded but once sat and the waiters teamwork serving made it seem plenty spacious. Each table was full on a Friday evening, and the two waiters and one bartender kept everything moving very smoothly. A well oiled machine. Service was as you would expect for the price range. Didn’t have to ask twice and things came quickly. The chefs nailed it as well. My wife just got a couple of individual items and I did the 5 course with wine pairings. It was great and we’ll definitely try to snag some reservations again next time we’re in the area.

This place offers a cozy environment and amazing food. We went with a small group and between all of us, we tried almost everything on the menu and everyone raved about how good it was. Come with a hearty appetite and choose either the five or seven course meal with the wine pairings.

This meal wasn’t a typical dinner out, it was an experience!! I loved that the food was local and in-season and the menu constantly changes. The wine pairings with the multi-course meal were impeccable. Pro-tip: if planning to share some of the tasting menu, I would recommend ordering the full size from the ala carte menu…more deliciousness to go around! Thank you for a wonderful meal!

It’s not just dinner, it’s a top notch experience! We discovered the original restaurant 13 years ago and make it a priority to eat here each year when we visit TC. You need a reservation (usually a month in advance). Highly recommend the 5 or 7 course meal with wine pairing. It’s a treat for your taste buds in every bite! The service is the best in the area. You will be delighted!

This is an experience, it’s an investment but worth every penny. It’s extremely intimate setting. Highest quality ingredients from the area treated with so much love and attention to detail. If you go invest in the 7 courses with the wine pairing so much thought goes into it. The service is exceptional knowledgeable servers, everything at your fingertips. If you have an allergy let them know when make your reservation. They are super accommodating. Please treat yourself if you can, talking to our server pick a day when you are traveling (especially in the summer) make the reservation first they fill up FAST(limited seats), seasonal ever changing menu a celebration of food. I cannot reccomend this place enough. Its definitely an experience , so expect to take time for your dinner. We had our reservation at 8 and walked out about 10 and happy for it.
