Eliza - Kingston (NY)

5 /5 Nils Paellmann: Fabulous restaurant in Kingston. The grilled sea bass and the roast chicken were excellent as were the charcuterie appetizers (soppressata and prosciutto) and bread. Nice wine selection (we had a delicious Riesling from the Mosel). Great atmosphere and friendly service. Wonderful restaurant for a special occasion.

5 /5 Patrick No: Really delicious food here in Kingston, likely one of the nicest restaurants in the town. With espresso martinis and regular martinis on draft, I can tell who the catered demographic is. That being said, I did indeed get a draft martini to pair with a delicious dinner of: a Porkchop, Trout, Octopus, alongside a side of fries and mixed greens. The Porkchop came with an East Asian tamarind inspired sauce which I thought paired nicely. Wood fire grilled made the char and flavor so much better than a skillet. I found it to be delicious! One of the best dishes I’ve had all year! The trout was good with crispy skin and a good flavor. Pickled mushrooms were nice and homemade but may have been a bit overwhelming to the rest of the dish but that’s being nit picky. The octopus was fine — not a knockout dish but it was still good. Basically had an advanced chipotle mayo (Calabrian aioli) on the bottom. The fries and mixed greens were delicious. Perfect homemade fries and an outstanding dressing on the mixed greens. The dessert is to not be missed, luckily came on a day where they had my favorite sorbet, Blood Orange. Purple Rice Pudding was delicious and unique. Overall — great food here and exceeded my expectations. Had 1 night on a day trip to Kingston and it was the perfect date night.

4 /5 Javier Kohen: The menu has many interesting combinations of Southeast Asian ingredients and New American cuisine. The scallop crudo highlighted the intense Asian notes really well. The trout, less so, but it was a nice meaty cut and they prepared it well. Nice ambiance, they have a more lively atmosphere near the bar, a quieter room in the back, and a big patio.

5 /5 Natalie Burge: One of the most pleasurable dining experiences I’ve had in Kingston – the staff are perfectly attuned to guest needs and the meal was flavorful, perfectly prepared/plated and prompt. I enjoyed the skylight in the dining room as all food looks best under natural light. I also appreciated the wine recommendation from the sommelier who was very knowledgeable about a specific vineyard/region my dining companion was interested in. I will certainly return.

5 /5 Krisja H: Eliza is our favorite restaurant in Kingston. The food, the service, the cocktails, the wine list- all so wonderful. We had our rehearsal dinner here and even 6 months later anytime we come in they not only remember us but also our dietary restrictions. Something very special about this place. Heather Lesher is a one of a kind. Thank you Eliza!
