Culinary Institute - Hyde Park

[tll]

We plan to tour some of the mansions along the Hudson River and were thinking about lunch at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. Please let me know your thoughts and which of the restaurants you would recommend. Thanks.

We had a great lunch at the American Bounty restaurant at the CIA. It was about 4 months ago and the food was terrific.

if you can't get a rezzy at any of the restaurants......there's always apple pie cafe which is located in roth hall (the main building)......u don't need a rezzy there..... the food is obviously cafe style fare.......but great...!

MMM I would second that notion! I love the Cafe for its food and the laid back atmosphere. It's where the students go when they get a snack attack. Don't miss the Mudslide Cookies and any or all of the breads.

That is funny, I had already decided to try the Apple Pie Cafe, it seemed more flexible. Since we aren't familiar with the area, I didn't want to be tied to a certain time. Thanks for the input.

Keep in mind that the Apple Pie is only open weekdays.

We will be there on a weekday. Thanks.

All of the restaurants are good. I recommend that you plan now for your reservations in a month or so. They are typically full up in the short term.

All of the restaurants are well described on the CIA website.
