Best Casual Restaurants in Kingston

We love Kips Tavern. The decor, bartender (we always dine at the bar), food (the chicken pot pie is the signature entree), the location in historic Rhinecliff. We will be back.

I dined here alone on a Thursday night in the lovely and warm bar area, which has an intimate feeling. The bartender Matt was charming and made delicious cocktails tailored to my tastes. I had the cigars stuffed with chicken liver pate, and they were scrumptious, must order. My main was roast duck and it was perfectly cooked. I also recommend the creme brulee, which was the best I have had in a long time. Overall a great experience.

Consistency and quality every time! Outstanding food and service. Taco Tuesday is a superb night to experience their delicious cuisine. Santa Fe is my choice in Uptown Kingston for dining regularly. I've also eaten at the Rt. 28 location near Glenford. You just can't go wrong at either locale! Tatiana did an A+ job as did the entire staff at our last visit. Looking forward to next time already!

The view is outstanding and the best of the Hudson Valley. Enjoy the river and wide open space under the shelter with heaters and fireplaces to keep it cozy. The Shakshuka eggs were over cooked but the tomato sauce was tasty and on point. Eggs Benedict was the winner at our table with the wood fired pizza coming in second place.

Great dining with a comfortable vibe! This was our first time. We will be back!
