AMENIA — The newest restaurant in Amenia, Isabela opened to patrons on Wednesday, March 26, quickly attracting notice and local enthusiasm.
The local buzz had anticipated the opening, so much so, that patrons were eager to try out the new restaurant on its first night.
Menu choices reflect a seasonal American bistro setting, guided by chef/owner Jose Ramirez-Ruiz who terms the cuisine “vegetable forward,” celebrating the bounty of the Hudson Valley. Entrees include choices of fish, beef and chicken accompanied by fruit and vegetable-based culinary creativity.
