The Millerton Inn
Peter Stefanopoulos, who also owns Yianni’s in Chatham, N.Y., The Boathouse in Lakeville, Conn. and is a co-owner of the Four Brothers Pizza restaurants, has combined fresh, exceptionally well-prepared food with a welcoming ambience that encourages comfortable conversation, all in an historic Millerton, New York building (formerly The No. 9 Restaurant and Inn). Appetizers are beautifully presented and offer a welcome variety of options. The steaming clam chowder appears in a bowl garnished with toast (“charred bread” according to the menu) and sporting clams in their opened shells, as well as pancetta and fingerling potatoes. Another appetizer that bespeaks Greek roots tied together with the family farm is the shrimp saganaki, with feta cheese that adorns roasted tomatoes and jumbo shrimp en casserole. The Greek salad echoes the local influence in both the greens and feta. The dressing is a family secret, and its own special treat. The traditional Caesar salad becomes a highlight with whole anchovies and spicy croutons topped with a tangy dressing. Main courses offer a compact range of selections from market fish to market steak, both of which are offered at the discretion of the chef. For steak lovers, the New York strip au poivre is both substantial and flavorful. Even the Millerton Inn burger carries a pedigree, credited to Meiller’s Farm. For vegetarians, the baked moussaka elevates the lowly eggplant to star billing and includes a mushroom ragout and bechamel sauce. There are also pasta specialties, a full bar and signature cocktails. Appetizers are priced in the mid-teens. Salads are in the same range, while entrees are in the $20-$30 range and burgers are priced at $15. The Millerton Inn 53 Main Street, Millerton, NY (518) 592-1900
