★★★ "The menu reads like a field report from the valley." Hudson Valley Table

"Larkspur cooks like it has something to prove, and it does." The Gilded Fork

★★★ "A hearth, a river, and a kitchen that listens to both." Downstate Review

"The most honest menu between the bridges." River Journal

The idea

One field, one river,
one fire.

Larkspur buys from eleven farms inside thirty miles, one oyster bed across the river, and nothing that flies. The menu has four courses and no exceptions section, because a kitchen that commits can cook for anyone: tell us what you cannot eat, and the plates change around you, not the restaurant.

Everything touches the hearth. The bread, the birds, the beets, the butter. Embers at five hundred degrees cook differently than any pan on any stove, and that difference is the whole restaurant.
