The entire experience was unique and we would highly recommend it to others! Parking is a challenge and as stated in other reviews get there earlier than reservation if you want to sit and enjoy a drink at the bar or lounge area before dinner is served.

The noise level was deafening. We had to shout to be heard. Too many tables cramped together, otherwise the space would have been attractive. The food was pretty good, the service excellent, but I’d never go back because the roar made it unenjoyable.

About the restaurant

Please visit our website to learn more about The Inn at Pound Ridge by Jean-Georges http://www.theinnatpoundridge.com/ Chef Jean‑Georges introduces his latest venture, a casually elegant restaurant ensconced in the picturesque town of Pound Ridge, New York. Here, Jean‑Georges cultivates a truly seasonal, farm-to-table cuisine, with ingredients sourced from the Hudson Valley and New England, whenever possible. Constructed in 1833 as a residence and serving later as an inn, the building has been painstakingly renovated to preserve as many of the original materials as possible, including four working fireplaces. Thomas Juul-Hansen designed the restaurant’s interior with a modern yet rustic sensibility; zinc and marble accent stone and reclaimed wood. The restaurant’s lighting, artfully conceived by Hervé Descottes, employs paper shades and Edison fixtures to create warmth throughout.

It’s been a year since our last visit as we no longer live in the area. The food and service were as perfect as our last visit. The lobster is my favorite dish and it was delicious. The soft shell crab starter was a wonderful edition. My husband, who isn’t a foodie, was so thrilled with his meal, he said he’d eat at The Inn every night!
