About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
The Hoffman House restaurant, in the scenic Hudson Valley, opened for business in June of 1977. The building is a fine example of Early American Dutch rubble architecture featuring wide planked random width board floors, a fire place in each of the main rooms and many small multi-level rooms.

The Hoffman House is located at the corner of the historic Stockade district in Kingston NY, and once served as fortification and a lookout. Today the Hoffman House serves a continental fare, featuring steaks, fresh seafood, pasta specialties and homemade artisan desserts. An open-air, beautifully landscaped garden patio, enhances outdoor dining in the summer, while you can cozy up next to one of our three large stone fireplaces in the winter.

    Food was not good, steak not properly cooked, tasted like they microwaved it then put it on a grill for char marks. Sat for almost 15 minutes when we first got there before a waitress came over to welcome us and take a drink order. Room was noisy, air conditioning was blowing hard on your back as you sat at the table making it uncomfortable, will not be going back.

    Went for lunch, had a great experience. I can see how when it's busier at night, it could get loud. The food was great quality and the pricing was reasonable for lunch.

    We sat at the booth next to the fireplace, the perfect setting for a delicious lunch with our besties on a cold winter’s day. Our waitress was lovely, and made us feel right at home.

    Beautiful old stone house pre-revolutionary with fireplaces in all the rooms. Food is very good. I had chicken piccata which I thought was a little gloppy but in the past I’ve had the London broil with mushroom sauce and it was delicious. It comes with salad and potato of your choice. Service is always very good! Lovely and delicious dinner. Prices are very reasonable.

    Very busy Saturday night and wait staff did a good job. It was our 33rd anniversary as was submitted with reservation and it was forgotten by staff. Also we requested table for 2 in front of the fireplace but were seated in a corner. It was ok but the table for 2 was left empty all night. The roast duckling was excellent but the orange sauce was very amateurish, unlike a year previous which showcased the chef's skill with a cranberry-orange-brandy sauce. Our other dinner was the seafood assortment and was great. However an appetizer of steamer clams earlier must have had a bad clam, since one of us had major GI track issues later.
