The Village Voice awards Fort Defiance the Best Restaurant in Red Hook.
“Here, you'll find homey and deceptively simple American fare built on painstakingly sourced local ingredients. The menu changes with the seasons, and at dinner, the specials — a summer-capturing watermelon salad or pan-seared dorade, for instance — reign supreme.”

The New York Times Magazine really likes our chicken liver pâté!
"I have been eating the chicken-liver pâté at Fort Defiance at least once a month for the past year, sometimes more often... pink and creamy, it comes to the table in a magnificent smear..." —Sam Sifton
