Old Chatham Country Store & Café - Old Chatham, New York
Six years after opening as a place to pick up high-end provisions and enjoy a muffin in the morning or a thoughtfully-conceived and well-constructed salad or sandwich at lunch, Old Chatham Country Store & Café started serving bistro-style dinners by candlelight Thursday - Saturday nights (at the moment, Sundays nights are reserved for private parties). It was an instant hit. Co-owner/chefs Brian Albert and Peter Trump run the kitchen with their usual diligence and finesse. The menu features reliable bistro stand-bys at true-to-the-spirit-of-bistro prices—Wellington Farms pan-roasted chicken ($19) and steak frites ($22)—as well as some more surprising fare, such as duck and spinach-filled wontons, $9; Asian cabbage salad with crispy calamari, $9; an entree of braised lamb shanks with red wine and figs, $20. Every night there is a different fish and vegetarian option. The value is remarkable and extends to the wines. An $8 glass of Ferrari Carono Merlot (their most expensive by-the-glass red) comes in a goblet so large it contains the equivalent of two. —Marilyn Bethany
