Valley – Cultivating Fine Local Foods

From its opening in 2004, Valley has been recognized as a premier dining venue in the Hudson Valley. Its American Farm-to-Table Cuisine, which showcases the just-picked ingredients from our own two-acre Garrison Farm as well as other artisanal producers in the region, is a tribute to our commitment to sourcing locally grown, raised and prepared food products whenever possible. Valley’s menu changes regularly with the season and what’s perfectly ripe that day. Each Thursday, Valley features an Eat Local menu that showcases one local ingredient sourced from the Hudson Valley; the $35 price fixed menu offers three courses with choices in appetizer and main course selections. (Please see home page for this week's menu.)

Designed by acclaimed architect Tony Chi, Valley exudes a relaxed country elegance. The jewel-box sized room features an earth-toned palette of sage and mushroom, rough hewn painted floors and a wall of French doors that open onto a spacious outdoor terrace. It is a perfect backdrop to the stunning views of the Hudson River and mountainous terrain of the Hudson Highlands that lie outside its doors.

Valley’s accolades include an “Excellent” review from The New York Times – the "seasonal American menu shows a devotion to fine ingredients... like the food, the décor is a study in freshness" as well as a three-star review in Crain’s New York. In the most recent 2007 Zagat Survey, Valley received a 26 food rating and 25 service rating and has been featured in national publications from Bon Appetit and Town & Country to Esquire and Departures.

Dinner is served Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5:30pm to 9:30pm (Thursday nights: $35 prix fixe Eat Local menu)
