Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Pawling

This was our first experience with the new ownership group, and, as they say in baseball, they've lost a few miles off their fastballs. The menu is the same, but the food isn't quite as good. We live 40 minutes away and have always looked forward to making the trek to Brewster because we knew that this was one of the finest restaurants in the Lower Hudson Valley, but if our latest experience is representative, The Arch has dropped a notch. For example, the sauce for the Beef Wellington was overly salty, the orange sauce for the excellent duck was a tad too sweet, and the chocolate soufflés hardly tasted of chocolate. Service was impeccable, as always, and the staff are very friendly. The place looks beautiful.

Very happy with our decision to give Rein a try. Would definitely go back.

Pros: Food, service and atmosphere were excellent. Cons: wine list is disappointing- a very limited selection and virtually all were WAY overpriced.

Absolutely lovely ambience, food is delicious. We ordered a pepper tapenade for appetizers which was the best we’ve had. The mixed grill was also good. Standard portion sizes. The staff was helpful. Their desserts are too good. All in all it was wonderful enjoyable experiences.
