Before the pandemic, De Boer had already been away from a restaurant kitchen for half a year, on maternity leave after the birth of her first son, Abe. When I first visited, on a night in late spring a few months after the restaurant’s opening, my eye went directly to Clare de Boer, the chef and owner, a striking figure in white working on the line, and then to a massive, appealingly askew tower of butter under a glass cake dome.ĭe Boer, best known for King, a jewel box of a restaurant that she opened with two partners in Manhattan’s SoHo, first saw the Stissing House space back when the world was closed due to Covid. Behind a high counter, a half dozen cooks move from prep stations to an enormous wood-fired oven. It leads past a warren of small dining rooms to the main action: a capacious space with north- and east-facing windows, anchored by an impressive bar (seating for 12) and a busy open kitchen. Friendly staff and the back yard garden is beautiful.FROM THE ENTRANCE of Stissing House, a new restaurant with a long history at the corner of Main Street and NY-199 in Pine Plains, you can see three fireplaces and a wide hallway. Even more amazing was the daily specials menu that was in addition to the main menu. My wife and I went to Tower for dinner Saturday night and were amazed at how great the steaks were. Two mushroom slices & 1 small fountain soda. My daughter-in-law works in Pine Plains school and got lunch here yesterday. The pies here are tops! It is a highlight of every family visit to Pine Plains! The sauce, great! Service, great! Waiting for your order w a beer at their. I feel a little disingenuous giving 4 stars, only because we only tried the pizza, but the pizza was good! The crust was so pillowy and soft, but with nice flavor.
