About House of Stefas
In the heart of Millbrook, NY, House of Stefas redefines Greek dining with a contemporary twist, offering a rich tapestry of culinary experiences housed in a meticulously designed space. Spearheaded by brothers John and Paul Stefanopoulos, this restaurant combines deep-rooted family traditions with modern, freestyle Greek cuisine. Each room tells its own story, from the luxurious ambiance of the Poseidon’s Palace to the communal spirit found in family-style offerings. Their commitment to hospitality reflects not just in their service, but in every carefully chosen decor piece, such as mohair banquettes and sea glass chandeliers.
What sets House of Stefas apart is their innovative menu led by executive chef Roel Alcudia, known for blending traditional Greek influences with global culinary techniques. A highlight of the menu is their 'Aegean Omakase,' a selection that includes marinated striped bass with red pepper vinaigrette and raw langoustine, inspired by Alcudia's expertise in sushi and seafood. The restaurant also features dishes rooted in familial recipes from their mother, Katina, ensuring a perfect balance of familiarity and novelty. An emphasis on local sourcing connects the regional flavors of the Hudson Valley with the diverse ingredients of Greece, making each dish both internationally influenced and locally grounded.
Beyond the food, artistic and playful elements permeate the space, from hidden sketches and peep holes to thematic rooms like Tiger Bar and Dionysus Room. This careful curation reflects not only the brothers’ heritage but also their bold vision, which resonates throughout the venue’s design and experience. Each element, whether it's the spacious rooftop garden or the intimate Veranda Room, is crafted to evoke a sense of journey—a nod to the Stefans’ cosmopolitan inspirations.
