The Inn at Pound Ridge by Jean-Georges

Just three miles from the Bedford Post Inn, 
The Inn at Pound Ridge 
by Jean-Georges presents a splendid alternative for fine dining — especially while the former’s main restaurant is being renovated. Superstar chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten spotted an opportunity in the grand 1833 residence, and the property has been fully renovated and restored, including its four impressive fireplaces. Lavish use of wood and warm lighting create an exceptionally congenial atmosphere.

The menu features seasonal farm-
to-table cuisine with ingredients from the Hudson Valley and New England whenever possible. A striking serving of little beets arranged like big strawberries on a swirl of Greek yogurt flavored with olive oil and balsamic vinegar was outstanding. And an entrée of a Berkshire pork chop wrapped in prosciutto with mushrooms and sage in a white wine sauce could not have been more delicious or satisfying.
