Innovative Chinese dining — interesting food. A good meal in a magnificent space. One of Westchester County top 20 restaurants.
The menu clearly marks gluten-free and vegan options. They are more spiced/ flavorful than typical Cantonese cuisine, a plus from my perspective. There are more than enough GF options for two people. Our waitress guided us to GF options with ease. We took home leftovers for lunch the next day. We got:
Wok charred greens
Wild mushroom rice noodle
Crab rice
Chinese flowering cauliflower
Concord grape on shaved ice (without mochi) for dessert. Innovative, interesting.
I’m looking forward to more restaurants from the Talde Group.
Venue:
Gilded Age elegance, relaxed ambiance, and modern amenities.
Four elegant dining rooms, a nine-seat bar, a terrace surrounded by greenery.
Miro-style paintings on the ceilings.
Centerpiece painting in the bar of Bruce Lee in a military uniform
A Monet painting.
Beautiful outdoor patio (great if the weather permits).
Terrific hip music.
From a Michelin publication:
chef Dale Talde's recently opened Goosefeather is poised to demonstrate there's a better use for fire than flaming pumpkins. That's because the Top Chef star and MICHELIN Guide alum will be using his massive backyard for outdoor wood-fired cooking events in addition to a kitchen firing up wok-roasted scallops, whole-roasted Cantonese duck and char siu Berkshire pork nightly. Located in the historic Georgian-era King Mansion on the grounds of the Tarrytown House Estate, Goosefeather is the first restaurant from Talde's newly formed hospitality group, Food Crush Hospitality, which he runs with his wife Agnes Chung Talde. Here, Talde is focused on the cuisine of Hong Kong, with a menu defined by dim sum, noodles and Chinese barbecue. The chef is also taking full advantage of Hudson Valley real estate. Goosefeather plans to host large-format family-style farm-to-table dinners as well as taking part in local events like Sleepy Hollow's Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze. The property also plans to grow over 40 varieties of vegetables and herbs as well as an an apiary to produce honey.
A fancy Chinese restaurant (Cantonese/Hong Kong fusion cuisine) with gluten free options labeled on the menu. They were very knowledgeable about GF and cross-contamination. The waitress came back to tell me that the fried rice I’d ordered had duck in it which was marinated in a soy sauce that was not gluten free, so I got a crab fried rice instead that was really delicious. Didn’t get glutened! I really appreciated the care they took to make sure my meal was completely GF.
