Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Red Hook

Service was friendly and the atmosphere was inviting which complimented the food very well!

We have been going to Stone Park for years as our neighborhood restaurant and we've never ever been disappointed. The environment is so warm and inviting (especially when Angela is at the bar!) and the food is consistently excellent. Last night among the three of us we had fish (skate), chicken, and their classic/amazing burger and then delicious desserts. Outstanding. Their cocktails are great as is their wine list. The owner is consistently at the restaurant and has been part of the neighborhood for decades.

Lobster Mac and Cheese was AMAZING! Large pieces of lobster! Pot Pie also amazing! Drinks were fantastic as well. Atmosphere was cool, lots of history. One of the best places we ate while in NYC.

Compared to earlier visits, the tasting menu is shorter but also excellent value. In hindsight, it would have been advisable to add 1-2 optional courses as it turned out that the tasting menu was on the light side (e.g., it listed the amuse bouche as the first course - we erroneously assumed that this would be a surprise extra course). Some dishes were standouts, every dish was a solid performance. The non-alcoholic drink options were great - it's too bad they don't offer a non-alcoholic beverage pairing. Service was rather curt (e.g., we were abruptly given the bill without even asking if we wanted a coffee - it felt like they wanted to get rid of us! - Even if they had needed the table, they could at least have told us or offered us to take a coffee at the bar. As a matter of fact, we did order espresso and didn't have the impression that we deprived anyone of timely access to our table).

Absolutely unique dining experience with great food and a lot of fun. Really inventive dishes and a great experience to learn about where the food comes from and how it is sustainably produced. Hearing the background from the chefs is also great and the omakase style counter layout adds another layer of the experience to see the food prepared.
