We dropped Sam at school for the rest of the year and decided to stay in nearby Bedford Village in Upper Westchester, so booked the quaint Bedford Post Inn. We had planned to dine in one of the two restaurants there(one is closed), but alas received and email midday that the chef had been in an accident and they moved our reservation to a spot about 10 minutes away in nearby Katonah.
We arrived at the Whitlock and part of the street was closed and filled with tables and umbrellas with everybody well-spaced. The service was as best can be expected when the staff have to keep running from the indoor kitchen to the street tables, but it worked well and our server Michael did a great job.
We met my cousin, who lives nearby, and enjoyed a couple bottles of yummy Sancerre from Daniel Reverdy et fils 2018 in the Loire with our seafood dishes.
My starter of Scallops was pan-seared with a Parsnip Puree, bacon jam, Frisee & Brown Butter. It was rich, but delicious. Will liked the Everything Deviled Eggs with Bacon & Chives, but said they were not as yummy as the best ones we had at Dino's in DC (alas now shuttered). My cousin had the monster sized Roasted Cauliflower Salad with arugula, radicchio, red onion, parmesan, pistachios and house vinaigrette. He said he would take part home, but it was so good, it all eventually disappeared!
Will's main was a simple but yummy Lobster BLT roll with fries and my cousin chose the tasty Monkfish Special with Quinoa and Brussels Sprouts. I loved my Chorizo & Shrimp Burger which was huge and smothered in gooey Oaxaca Cheese with Jalapeno, Avocado, Lettuce and served with a yummy Lemon Aioli on a huge Brioche Bun. I opted for the side salad instead of fries and could barely get through 1/3 of that.
We could not resist splitting a Peach Cobbler with Salted Caramel Ice Cream for dessert which we all declared scrumptious!
We were sorry not to dine at the Inn, but our meal gave us a new option if we return to the area in the future.
