My wife and I recently celebrated our sixth anniversary at the Old '76 House while visiting the Hudson Valley. When making our reservation, I mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary. To our delight, the staff surprised us with a lovely table by the bar featuring two comfortable chairs. We absolutely adored the colonial decor throughout the tavern, and to our joy, we enjoyed live jazz music as well. For drinks, my wife ordered The Dropped Lemon—a martini made with Italian limoncello and citrus-infused vodka with a sugar rim—while I opted for the 76 House Tavernkeeper Ale, which is exclusively brewed for the tavern based on a centuries-old recipe that George Washington enjoyed so mu...
I have to say, this place is the most patriotic spot to enjoy a burger on July 4th. The ambiance, the building's history, and its location are truly exceptional. Sipping on a pint of Sam Adams here adds to the experience. However, my 3-star rating isn't reflective of the service—the waitstaff, particularly Johanna, were fantastic and even shared some interesting historical tidbits with us. Unfortunately, the popover that came with the pot roast was stale, as if it had been prepared on Sunday. The burger was delicious, but the apple crisp was made from canned fruit and was undercooked in the middle, which seemed like it had just come out of the microwave. I'll definitely give this place anoth...
What a delightful atmosphere with a charming colonial vibe! It's a pleasure to experience a touch of history. The staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive, even while managing several groups of diners. The live music enhanced the ambiance beautifully. I tried the locally produced hard cider, which was refreshing and crisp. My main dish was decent; the spaetzle and red cabbage sides were delicious, but the breaded pork patty fell a bit short—it seemed more mass-produced rather than lovingly crafted by hand. On the dessert front, the crème brûlée was outstanding. Thank you for a lovely dining experience!
This was an enjoyable experience. The menu was a real delight and our food came out quick and extremely tasty. My only issue was in the evenings there are live bands, I'm not adverse to this but found it to be too loud. But others around were enjoying it hence I still rate it as 5 starts. I think my next visit will be in the daytime so I can enjoy the history and look around a bit more. Well worth a visit Service: Dine in

I had lunch here today, and while it wasn't busy, it also wasn't during the peak lunch hour. The food service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was truly unique and historic—absolutely loved it! I dined in for lunch, and the price per person was between $10 and $20. I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all at 5 stars. I highly recommend the French Onion Soup!
We last visited this restaurant 50 years ago, and it's transformed for the better. While they had good food and service back then, they've stepped it up to offer even better food and service now. I think George Washington would approve! Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
