Fodor's Expert Review Peekamoose Restaurant and Tap Room

With ceilings held aloft with original wood beams, huge windows drawing the outdoors in, and rustic decor like a chandelier made from antlers, this beautifully renovated farmhouse offers constant reminders of its bucolic setting, while its proprietors, who have worked in some of New York City's best restaurants offer a fine dining experience with a laidback, unfussy vibe. Devin and Marybeth Mills' impressive and everchanging farm-to-table menu often includes popular dishes like slow-braised beef short ribs—so tender the meat falls off the bone—hanger steak with sauteed kale, and just-picked vegetables with risotto (among several delicious vegetarian options). The tap room offers a wide variety of local brews and the long, log-lined bar serves up an extensive wine list, with wines described both by varietal and by flavor. The firepit on the terrace is the place to be for an after-dinner drink and toasted marshmallows.
