Staatsburg, NY

River & Post

River & Post is a quietly confident gem in Staatsburg, NY, offering a seasonal, farm-to-table dining experience rooted in hospitality, heritage, and the rich bounty of the Hudson Valley. Though the town itself may be easy to miss, this restaurant is impossible to forget. Led by Sergia Rebraca and his mother Patricia Panarella—veterans of acclaimed establishments from NYC to Rhinebeck—River & Post carries forward a family legacy of deeply satisfying cuisine and warm, welcoming atmospheres. The ever-changing menu features refined comfort food, like the beloved buttermilk fried chicken and tender beef short rib, alongside seasonal dishes that strike a balance between soulful and spa-like.

The setting is as thoughtfully designed as the menu: mid-century modern touches meet rich, earthy tones in a space that feels both stylish and unpretentious. Chef Antonio Cerón, a longtime collaborator of the family, brings finesse and heart to every plate, while bartender Matt Hoffman elevates the bar program with rare spirits and sophisticated cocktails. True to Rebraca’s vision, River & Post isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to unwind, connect, and return to, again and again.
