Visited The Kitchen Table in Pound Ridge and had a somewhat mixed experience—so I’m settling on giving it 4 stars but I think it should be closer to a 3.5.
Their coffee truly stood out. Both the cappuccino and vanilla latte I had were excellent—thoughtfully crafted and delicious.

If you have a large group of people, ask first, because...

Might have to order 2.) but the Friday night dinner has arguably the best food around. I was surprised to learn that the best meatball parm sandwich i’ve had could indeed from the kitchen table. The ingredients are fresh, the friendliness of the staff is that of true family hospitality, and the coziness of the atmosphere is magazine worthy. Easy to enjoy a bite or...
