"Since opening in March 2022, Stissing House has become a destination that draws diners from around the state to a town of less than 2,000 people. De Boer (who recently signed on as a contributor at CBS as part of Bari Weiss's divisive shakeup at the network) once again turned the restaurant into a buzzy tavern, where the food happens to be quietly excellent."
"But Stissing House also represents a return to the building's roots, making the lively, slightly chaotic destination "a place where people really come to be together," Pearce says. "I felt an immediate connection." The 6,000-square-foot building divides diners into multiple smaller rooms, including a second floor for private events."
Captain Cornelius Elmendorf built a tavern and inn in Pine Plains, New York in 1782 that served the bustling Hudson Valley hamlet. The town declined after World War I when rail lines were removed. The building later operated as a French restaurant from 1995 to 2021. Chef Clare de Boer, formerly of King in Soho, relocated to the Hudson Valley during the pandemic and opened Stissing House in March 2022. The restaurant has become a destination drawing diners statewide to the small town. The 6,000-square-foot historic building features multiple rooms, fireplaces, and wide-plank floors, creating an atmosphere described as a lively party that emphasizes community gathering.
