Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Newburgh

Interesting menu, beautifully executed. Lovely service and an excellent value.

The food was fabulous. Our server was excellent and truly made delicious recommendations. Where the mood went south was that shortly after we paid the bill and lingered in conversation enjoying the last bit of the evening with friends who we hadn’t seen in months, the hostess came to us and said she wanted to let us know she will need the table in 10 minutes. It was late Sunday night, obviously no other seatings/reservations coming, 4 other empty tables available to seat guests. No one was waiting anywhere to be seated. I completely understand that had it been earlier as the place was packed, but the night was winding down and all the tables seated were most certainly the last of the evening reservations including us. The shift in the enjoyment and mood of the evening was palpable. Not cool.

Savini is the place to go when you want a guaranteed fabulous meal. Food, service and ambiance are always top notch.

Went to meet my longtime friend at Terrain in Westport Connecticut today. Upon entering, I thought I was walking into a terrarium of sorts. I didn’t even realize it was a restaurant.  walking past the beautiful decorations I saw lots of smiling faces; waiters and patrons.  I sat down and was offered a drink right away. The menu was clean and elegantly designed. I liked how it was not overwhelming, but still had a nice range of options. The prices were great considering how lavish the decor was. I don’t think there was anything over $30 But the average I would say was $15. My friend ordered the grilled cheese and I got a medium well burger with aïoli dressing, bacon on top and a side of fries. I was really impressed with the quality of the meat combined with the juiciness of the burger. You never know what you’re gonna get when you Order medium well. The waiters were always on hand and ready to serve, but never gave us the feeling they were trying to rush us out. But we were there after the lunch rush so I don’t know what it’s like during the busiest times. Couple of lattes and we were ready to go. Was excited to explore the other areas of the place. I felt like I was at the botanical gardens with a restaurant growing out of it. It would be a great place to eat when the weather would allow outdoor seating.  Besides our kind waitress, a hostess by the name of Teresa, came by to check on us. She appeared to be a nature-loving enthusiast with an artistic bent. She turned me on to a Portuguese author whom I’m interested in reading. Overall, my friend and I had a great time and now planning on returning the last Thursday of this month. There’s a lot more to experience there not only in food, but in shopping. I could easily drop $1000 at the store, considering all the unique things on display. No hesitation, offering up five stars for Terrain ! After you check it out, send me your comments. Would love to hear from you. @HEARTmyMIND

The ambiance was perfect for our “get together” with a dear friend. The waffles were the lightest and crispiest we had ever had…and topped with fresh strawberries and handmade whipped cream!!!
