About The Company
A family of chefs and food lovers, we are proud to welcome you into
our casual and elegant atmosphere. We have created a space that is
warm and cozy, and a menu that holds up to the high standards of our
own home.
When we decided to combine our talents and open a restaurant, Main Street Rosendale was the perfect fit. The town is not only an up and coming cultural center of the Hudson Valley, but also our home town. (Elena, our manager, grew up in the house across the street.) It is minutes away from New Paltz, High Falls and Stone Ridge.
Each of us has thrown our personal touch into the bistro. Sam utilizes many local ingredients and mixes them into his signature dishes from the kitchen and adds them to delicious daily and seasonal specials. Elena manages the business and curates an ever growing wine list. Nicole runs the front of house, serves as the events coordinator and helps to curate the wine list. Reuben's renovations and design skills put a new touch on the space, and Mimi's green thumb extends through the back garden and creeps up into the dining area with her orchids occupying every spare surface of the restaurant.
