Valley - Garrison

We usually have a picnic before going to see a play at the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, but we might start going to Valley instead.

We adore the Valley Restaurant. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the service is quick, especially before shows.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was delightful, with pleasant and polite staff. It is an ideal spot for a pre-show dinner if you prefer to be served instead of bringing your own picnic (it was my birthday). The food was mediocre, similar to what you would find at a wedding venue. The appetizer plate was mostly bland, but the lamb with cumin yogurt sauce had some flavor. The chicken was disappointing, and the sweet potato compote consisted of small chunks that were not worth the effort to eat. Overall, I would not choose the prix fixe option again. The only positive aspect was having a nice indoor space to pass the time before the show during the rainy weather.

The. Cold antipasto was terrible. Various times all flavors. The hummus Was in a cube shape, no flavor. It was a pre fixed menu at $55 per person. Four choices for entrees. My girlfriend had sea bass with grilled zucchini. It was cold sent back to the kitchen. I had the hanger steak with roasted potatoes and cherry tomatoes. The potatoes were dry and lacked flavor. The tomatoes were hotter than the steak. I will never go back there again

Great ambience inside and outside. Good quality food but prix fixe too high for what u get. Ordered fish which was very tasty but too small a portion. Appetizer of tasting dips etc could be improved in quantity and quality especially in that it was a small portion for 3 people. To improve: add variety of flatbreads, fresh warm pita or other tasty crackers and add some olives. Warm popovers with herbed butter can be an additional nice touch to start the meal …..service was a bit sparse and slow especially at the end of the meal when we were trying to make the 7:00 show.
