A cozy, welcoming retreat in historic Chappaqua, NY
Nestled down a quiet, tree-lined road in Chappaqua, Crabtree’s Kittle House Restaurant & Inn is a unique estate that transports all who visit to a rich, elegant past.
Join us for a taste of Old New York, where unparalleled hospitality and service meet a rich tradition of excellent food & wine.
Constructed in 1790, The Kittle Barn and Carriage House on Ivy Hill has been many things — working farm in post-Revolutionary America, the Kittle family home, roadhouse during Prohibition hosting wild late night affairs, a private girls’ school, and now restaurant & inn. Within its walls, over two hundred years’ worth of stories are held; the Crabtree family continues the property’s legacy with true farm-to-table, local cuisine & warm hospitality.
Food Philosophy
In our kitchen, we remember our roots. Our property began as a farm in 1790, providing crops for a small community in post-revolutionary America. We continue that tradition by honoring the local produce grown in our region. As was done 200 years ago, we rely on our local farmers to provide food for our guests.
This philosophy extends to our wine & bar program, as well. We have developed relationships with winemakers from across the world and small-batch distillers and brewers from the Hudson Valley and beyond.
History
From a rich 200-year heritage of farming and hospitality, the Kittle House Restaurant & Inn has grown from a small family farm, to a private estate, Prohibition-era roadhouse, a girls’ school, and small bed and breakfast hosting celebrities and public figures in the Hollywood’s Golden Era. Since then, our Inn has been host to many looking to relax and enjoy what our venue has to offer.
Fine Dining in elegant, sweeping environs. Taste Chef Danny Recino’s spin on contemporary farm-to-table, paired with our extensive wine list from our award-winning wine cellar.
Enjoy elevated, seasonal favorites in a cozy pub setting with garden views — replete with a rotating cocktail menu & full bar. The tap room room can accommodate 70 people for a seated event and 100 for cocktail standing. Step back in time, get warm by the fire, & stay a while.
Our Wine Program
Fueled by a passion for great wine & admiration for talented winemakers, John Crabtree sought to curate one of the most extensive and well-rounded wine lists in the world. Over the years, we have developed relationships with some of the world’s greatest winemakers, whose wine not only is the best of its kind but reflects the place from which they were grown. Both our wine list and our cellar have grown since we began this journey, from our travels across California, Europe, South America, Australia, & New Zealand. The further off of the beaten path the better, our wines are all hand-selected and exceptional in taste, vintage, & story.
Our reputation and wine list only continue to grow over time. Peaking at 65,000 bottles and 7,500 selections, our cellar has become a celebration of truly delicious and treasured wine. We look forward to sharing our knowledge, passion, & curated selections with you for years to come — life is worth celebrating! Join us for the occasion.
