The 4th of July finds us at “America’s Best Recreational Lake” according to USA Today. We are staying at Old Kinderhook Resort and Spa and our 1st dinner was at The Trophy Room. Our table looked out over the Tom Weiskopf golf course and our server, Marika, made our evening that much better.
We started
with a Flirty Fizz, Absolute vodka, cranberry juice and soda water, and a
Citrus, Basil Manhattan, Makers Mark with muddled sweet basil, lemon and simple
syrup
.
Next came
the Caprese salad, fresh tomatoes, sweet basil and mozzarella. We asked for
some Maytag blue cheese to top it off and it was fantastic.
Sue had the
Twin Fillets, 4oz fillets with lump crab meat and a béarnaise sauce and
broccolini. I had the 14oz strip steak with sautéed onions and a bourbon glaze
with a baked potato and asparagus. We shared a tasting of white truffle /
parmesan fries. WOW!
We looked at
the dessert menu, and it was tempting, but we took a mulligan as we just
couldn’t think about eating anything more.
Old
Kinderhook is a very family friendly resort and the restaurant, golf course and
more are open to the public.
Our hotel
room is very nice and this is a 5-star venue at a reasonable price. To learn
