Suggestions for Birthday dinner - lower westchester
The six course chefs tasting menu available anytime is $100, or, for $160 you can have the 6 course chefs tasting paired with a different glass of wine with each course.The 4 course dinner is around $75. I have also never failed to be presented with an amuse at the start of the meal . The staff, if you engage them, have always been warm and friendly. The chef, david, has given us tours of the wine cellar and kitchen and always comes out to chat. I've been going for about 10 years and have always enjoyed it.

Sorry, i didn't think that $100 for a 6 course chefs tasting menu in an unusual setting with great, professiional and friendly service was expensive.

If you go to Equus you'll have an amazing dinner and not have to fight any crowds.
Best Burger Westchester County into Lower Fairfield County
Just had an amazing burger at FAB in Mt. Kisco (topping it with foie gras didn't hurt...), but even without the foie, the burger was wonderful!!
lunch at vox......not!!
Vox, in north salem has conflicting information on their website about being open for lunch. I know the last time i checked they weren't open, but yesterday i noticed that although their home page said they weren't, their "contact" page said they were for the fall. I even made reservations at open table. Well, they're not. ... the guy i talked to who was unloading a truck when we arrived said that they may start being open for lunch in a few weeks
Ended up in south salem and had a great lunch at L'europe. (worth stopping in even if it's just for the souffle!!!).

New Canaan Eater Searching for the Best Meals
If you like Indian (maybe even if you don't) give thali a try. Since you liked the duck at harvest, you might like thali's version (if it's still on the menu).
need dinner for 20 near rye
Chicken, fish, steaks, salads, sandwiches. Much is glutton free (if anyone cares)...i think the most expensive entree is 22, but always running dinner specials and for 20 people would probably work with you on a menu if you wanted that. After going there for years for the duck confit quessadilla and the talapia i went a few weeks ago and had a burger, it was great!

Halstead Avenue Bistro in Harrison might be just the place for you. Menu is on their website halsteadbistro.com. John is very accomodating and prices are very reasonable.
TONIGHT: casual dinner in Westchester river towns?
Harvest on Hudson or Red Hat (don't forget the rooftop bar!!).
birthday dinner recommendations in westchester/CT?
Equus at the Castle in Tarrytown. The six course chefs tasting/wine pairing dinner is always a treat.
Chicken in red pepper sauce at Stamford pizza joint... help
Maybe "mario the baker" ? He's still there....and he was always into bmw's.

Wow, i couldn't (respectfully) disagree more. Over the past 3 years i've had at least a dozen wonderful meals at Caravela and everyone i have ever brought there has asked to be taken back.
As for the service, this is a family owned and run restaurant, the owner and his son Henry are always there and chances are that if Henry is not your waiter, he'll certainly stop by your table to check on your meal. Mom is often there and has a smile that always makes you stand up and give her a hug. They have a wonderful and reasonable wine list and on my last 4 visits i've had Henry make the decision on wine and he's always picked a winner.
As for the food, i'd be shocked if you didn't ask for extra bread to sop up any remaining sauce from the shrimp lisboeata. Yesterday i had the soft shell crab (which i would never normally order) but it was in the liboeata sauce and i ate every bit of it. For sardine lovers, the sardine appetizer is the perfect size. Main courses of Sea Bass, Red Snapper or yesterday Bronzino are all fresh, perfectly prepaired and served with sauteed vegetables and rice and beans. The portions are very generous. I believe that friday nights they roast a whole suckling pig for those of you not into fish.
Make certain that you save room for dessert, a vanilla bean cheescake (which is not always on the menu) was wonderful and there are usually at least two different fruit tarts offered.
Please just look at the menu that they have online (especially the "special" menu) and give them a try. Henry loves to talk, food, cooking techniques and wine and have him introduce you to his mom and dad. If i didn't have the leftovers from yesterday (i told you the portions were generous), i'd spend this rainy saturday over there having lunch (and a few bottles of wine, some port and the most amazing Caipirinha i've ever tasted!!).
