We dined on Mother's Day, pre-fix menu, and food to service, everything was exceptional. Only complaint: Though we dined with my 12 year old son, he was never offered a different menu nor were we asked his age. We were charged full price for his meal, even though the website clearly stated "For children 12 and under, 1/2 price". Clearly an oversight on someone's part, but that aside, Restaurant X Bully Boy Bar delivered on all other accounts, and we would recommend it to anyone for a special date, celebration dinner, or future Mother's Day!

I have dined here a number of times over the years. It's where you go for exceptional food in a more casual, but well appointed atmosphere, in a vintage home setting by a small pond. The owner Peter kelly is a renowned chef with multiple awards to his credit. Highly recommended for those seeking a gustatory experience beyond the norm. For bar aficionados, the Bully Boy Bar is beautiful and classic.

3 of us for my Birthday dinner. Haven't been here since it was Bully Boy's chop house. A pleasant experience. Food was good but a bit salty. No need to add salt to an already brined and tender pork chop. Also no need to pan fry spaetzle nor salmon as it makes them greasy. The cod was great as was the cheese plate. The shrimp and lobster appetizer very good as was the endive salad and oysters Rockefeller. Had forgotten to order the famous popovers so had to take them home. Yum. Philippe was wonderful and friendly and brought me a birthday treat as well as his recommendations on the food we asked about. I love the atmosphere here, especially the bar area but the place could use some updating here and there. It wasn't pleasant to sit by a window looking at the bubbly gray insulation along the sills. A little paint and some new carpet would enhance the already hood atmosphere.

Always a safe idea to go to X Menu is somewhat limited but good choices in each category. Steadily good wine list Always good specials Creative presentation without going overboard They do fish/seafood AND meat dishes well Save room for dessert I order popovers w meals. If you’re looking for the one meal home run, order the Cowboy Rbeye steak for two. If you want fish, the salmon is safe but they do white fishes (cid, bass) well. They serve bread but use the quality butter for the popover. Different zones in restaurant have different feel. Fireplace area. Window by pond. Open room big table. We have done office and birthday parties here. Excellent catering and always enough food. Servers there are like family.

Restaurant X was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Peaceful, food , wine and dessert was perfect. The soft shell crab was perfectly done, my endive salad was the best I have had since my visit to Europe. The cheese , caramelized pecans was incredible. Dessert was perfect.

Went last night (Restaurant week) - Food choices were excellent, - they should incorporate some of these choices into the regular menu. Portions were perfect and all courses were phenomenal. Have always loved this restaurant for all the decades we have lived here - typically go for special occasions, and once in a while throughout the year. But, this is my favorite Restaurant in Rockland County by far.

We had a wonderful dinner on Friday night. We had a 7pm reservation and the restaurant was bustling. It’s been many years since we’ve been here and weren’t sure what to expect. It was restaurant week so we figured we would try it. The drinks were great (reasonably priced)and the food was superb. Appetizers: mushroom ravioli, beet salad and tuna tartare, entrees: the pork chop, short rib and salmon. Dessert: chocolate bomb and carrot cake. They gave a good size portion considering the meal was only $40. We’ll definitely be back. My only recommendation would be to spruce up the place a bit.

We are longtime customers of the original BullyBoy restaurant going back many years with many wonderful memories sitting by the fireplace with the big old resident dog that we loved seeing.When it changed hands we did a few visits and enjoyed them, however its about 40 minutes from our home so it was not our go to place to dine. However I read about the 2 week Hudson Valley restaurant week and saw Bully Boy was included so we decided to take advantage of this deal and return to what was our favorite restaurant. The food was very delicious for our lunch ,4 of us that day. We enjoyed it so much we headed back the next week for dinner.Just my husband and I. We had a lovely time, enjoyed the food and wonderful server, however we were surprised it was what we felt exactly the same as lunch sizes(there was 1 additional entry which I did order,1 piece of short rib that was very good but for the additional money we paid for dinner we did expect somewhat more generous servings.While we were very happy with lunch, portions and price, we were not as happy with the value of dinner.My husband believes the drinks may have also been a few dollars more . I am very sad to see the lovely old building looking quite shabby with a few simple fixes that paint and a few fresh flowers could fix by the inside entrance.I was sitting there waiting for our car and it was so decrepit ..Sad to see this old beauty neglected.Also the packing lot is a mess. I hope someone rescues this place. The food is excellent, the service wonderful so I hope we will see someone rescue this grand dame.

Food excellent. Nice dining room. Service was not good. Took over 30 minutes to get order taken. One person’s drink came soon, but took another 20 minutes for second person’s drink to arrive. Once order finally taken, each course came almost too quickly after the other

Our food was good, especially the shrimp tempura appetizer. The short ribs were very tender and flavorful. The duck special was very good because of the sauce, but there should have been more string beans on the plate. Four was kind of skimpy. The restaurant should pay more attention to updating the carpet, which looked worn and had lots of stains. The chairs should have cushions on them for more comfortable seating, and to hide the worn seats, which need to be restained.

Food was horrible. Several of us were sick afterwards. Some food (pork) was not cooked properly and had to be sent back to the kitchen etc...etc... Also, dirty glasses and plates when we first sat down. Spent a lot of money and definitely was not worth it.
