Blue Hill Farm Stone BarnsBlue Hill FarmThe restaurant, Stone Barns, is a four season farm to table affair.  The menu mainly features seasonal items either grown by the farm or sourced locally.  The building itself is beautiful and provides the ideal back drop for the food.  Rather than choosing from a menu, diners are given a list of ingredients being used in the kitchen on that day to build a unique tasting menu.  Each course is crafted to showcase these ingredients with such creativity.  In winter, you might experience smoked kale or hake with mussels.  At other times of the year, you might experience zucchini pasta or beet burgers.  Dining here is a whole experience; when you visit, you may be selected to meet the chef and watch him cook.  It’s very different, and not your traditional restaurant.
