"We spent the night at the Hotel Nyack on a roadtrip and the excellent reviews for FARM led me to make a reservation. I got a little nervous when there wasn’t a ton of other seated tables in their playfully chic dining room, but it was a summer Wednesday night and hopefully that was a fluke because their food was excellent! We had: pretzel dusted calamari, burrata salad, loaded homemade tostada chip nachos, lobster ravioli, rigatoni Bolognese, and salmon subbing the seared Brussels sprouts for the jasmine rice. It really was all well crafted by someone with astute tastebuds, and the portions were generous. I would definitely eat there again. Very nice servers, too. Our room rate included breakfast, and our server from the night before had tipped us off that you can order their desserts for breakfast. My one kid who blew themselves out with the apps and pasta made sure to order the banana pie with homemade cream drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce, on a toffee crunch crust. I think they called it the banoffe pie. The waiters said it was their favorite dessert there and my kid was in swoon mode. The breakfasts the rest of us ordered were fantastic, too. A stack of gorgeous fresh blueberry pancakes, omelette with spinach and Gruyère accompanied by good fresh salads… I highly recommend. Very solid quality coffee, to boot. Our morning server, Erica, was so fun and charming. I hope the hotel corporation who bought this really fantastically decorated boutique hotel appreciate what an excellent chef they seemed to acquire along with the property. One critique: the melted ricotta over the Bolognese looked wonderful, but it would have been better without it. The sauce was too good for its unnecessary presence. I’d leave it off. Try this place!"
