The Homestead Restaurant + Lounge at The Eldred Preserve, named "The Best Fine Dining Restaurant in the Upper Delaware Valley," offers an elevated dining experience — featuring house-aged steaks and farm-to-table fare — all year long.

The modern steakhouse features several unique experiential spaces, including floor-to-ceiling windows in its main dining area, a wine-tasting room, private dining room, sunroom dining area, and an expansive covered, heated outdoor patio that’s ideal for dining al fresco. Guests can enjoy custom cakes for special occasions, holiday dining events, and special onsite performances.

The Homestead’s menus are ever-changing, and include a list of carefully-crafted signature cocktails, a wide selection of world-class wines, and an array of spirits and beers, many distilled or brewed in and around Sullivan County, N.Y.

The Lounge, also a Readers' Choice award winner, offers a comfortable atmosphere, beautiful views, and a nice selection of lighter dining fare.

    We enjoyed the wine and delicious dinner. The staff was very attentive but not overly intrusive. The space is beautiful and the music was perfect. We had a nice conversation without speaking loud. A nice little oasis in the area. The staff brought out a nice desert with a candle for our friends birthday. A very positive and sweet experience.

    There isn’t much in the nearby area in terms of a nice restaurant with great food. This was my third time here, while visiting the area . The ambience is great, you know you are in a quality restaurant. But the prices have increased significantly and the portions were small. Like really small! The food was good but not great. Certainly better than other restaurants in the area. I would definitely go back and hoping to have another 5 star experience as i did in the past.
    The Eldred PreserveResponded on February 19, 2025
    Hi Barbara, Thank you for your continued patronage and for sharing your feedback with us! We'll definitely take it into consideration as we review our menu and offerings. We hope your next visit returns to the 5-star experience you've enjoyed in the past, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.

    Went on Valentine’s Day with a later reservation. The kitchen seemed to be a little chaotic or disorganized because they had trouble bringing out water and were missing several menu (on a limited holiday menu). The hostess was a little rude but the waitress was very nice and attentive. Food was fantastic especially the halibut and chicken breast with mashed sweet potatoes. Overall had a great evening but could tell they had a busy night.
