{pretty to think so}

“An instant favorite. The dishes all look familiar on the surface, but they all have twists that make them unique and unexpected. I loved the cod fritters, because they were so light and flavorful. The squash bread was tasty and very interesting, but a bit too sweet as an appetizer. The fish sando tasted great. The gelato however was just okay. Everything was great for sharing. The menu changes regularly. The ambiance is great. The interior is modern and cozy, and the outside seating looks very nice and comfortable. I wish it wasn't so loud inside, they play the music at a very high volume. The staff did a good job, but they were severely understaffed, so service was low and getting their attention quite hard.”

“Had a lovely Saturday night dinner here! The food was spectacular - truly fresh ingredients and high quality, worth every cent. We had the squash bread with apple jam and the bone marrow + steak tartare as starters. Both were so good, especially the steak tartare that just tasted so clean and fresh, pairing nicely with the richness of the bone marrow. It came with these little potato slices that were scooped out to provide a perfect vehicle for the marrow/tartare. My partner had the carrot tart tartin, which he loved, and my scallops with morel mushrooms were perfectly cooked, with the hazelnuts providing such a nice texture. He enjoyed his phony negroni (they also had other NA options, including other mocktails, an NA beer, and an NA Riesling) and I really liked my Good Shepherd cocktail, their unique take on a dirty martini. We were too full for dessert, unfortunately. The service was great - attentive and friendly, but it felt like we were able to take our time and enjoy ourselves without feeling rushed, even though the place was busy. It is definitely on the pricier side and I would recommend reservations as the place was pretty full, but I would absolutely recommend this spot for a delicious, quality meal in Rhinebeck!”

“Amazing night! Vibes= on point, great music, great volume, gorgeous interior Staff= some of the best service I’ve received in a while! So friendly and attentive Food= PERFECT. 10/10 no notes I’m from NYC and up in Rhinebeck for the weekend, I will absolutely be coming back and will be coming back here!!!”

“We had an enjoyable evening. Food was good. We all enjoyed our meal. Vegan stuffed squash ratatouille, with herbs, rice, etc. I'm grateful for a real meal, but I think it needed to be on a base of some beans. Fried chicken with dill pickles with buttermilk ranch dip was delicious and tender, collard greens were packed with flavor. Miso marinated black Cod with mushrooms and red lentil puree was enjoyed. All delish! Bar decor is chic and stylish. Not too noisy on a Sunday night. Small place with limited seating. Great ambiance. Service was perfect. Sign was tiny. At a nearby table, we saw a Absinthe fountain(!?), which looked fascinating! On my agenda! Helpful?”

“Pretty to think so is a great dining option in Rhinebeck with an interesting menu of food and drinks, and a great vibe. The seating is limited, and creates an intimate space. Our seats offered a great view of the bar where the bartender was creating magnificent cocktails and it was delightful to see her in action! The food was generally excellent. The honey roasted carrots were our favorite, and the roasted chicken was also very good. The sweet corn risotto didn't appear very appetizing but the dish itself was delicious. The blood orange Moscow Mule was also good. The Shrimp cocktail was also quite good! All in all, we had a great experience and would highly recommend it!”
