    a fine dinner for the four of us with all dishes delicious and meticulously prepared. one minor point: the techno-music background is a bit dated and more importantly, was set too loud to the point it was annoying and impeded conversation at the table.

    Always super friendly and welcoming service. Delicious cocktails and great NA versions too. Delicious food every time. Had the chicken cutlet (again) and it was fantastic! Love this place with its ideal location, walkable to Amtrak!

    Lovely warm welcome, bar friendly. Very accommodating as we ran into friends. Excellent menu with varied choices and delicious specials. Good wine choices. Service actually perfect. Timing good. Lovely experience. And that is about the third time I have been there and felt the same way each time. My friends hadn’t been there before and loved.

    This was our second time at Kips Tavern. It was a warm, cozy haven on a cold winter night. Our server, who we had the last time also, was lovely--friendly and helpful without hovering. My husband and I both had the chopped salad to start, which was delicious. I had the salmon with mashed potatoes and broccolini. It was perfectly cooked to medium well, as I requested, and the seasoning was wonderful. It was honestly some of the best salmon I've ever eaten. My husband had the tuna steak and equally enjoyed his meal. We will definitely be back for more visits.

    We love Kips Tavern. The decor, bartender (we always dine at the bar), food (the chicken pot pie is the signature entree), the location in historic Rhinecliff. We will be back.
