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.

    A truly outstanding dining experience including service, consistently excellent food quality both in ingredients and preparation, with always new specials that are innovative and delicious. It's always packed on weekends, reflecting the top quality, all around experience that locals appreciate, but they honored our 7:30 Saturday night reservation right on time, despite many people waiting for tables. Wood fired oven makes pizza and other dishes have essence of smokiness. Will always be returning to Sole!
