Chiboust, Tarrytown

Chiboust

Not too much to say just from a brief lunch at Chiboust. Will post again once I've experienced more from their menu.

However, that being said, a few weeks back, I was in Tarrytown, showing some friends around, and we stopped at Chiboust for lunch.

Though I cannot comment upon the deliciousness of my friends' lunches (one had the Waygu Burger; the other friend had the soup of the day); I can only comment on what I ate.

Lunch on this particular day was the Roasted Beet Salad from their "Small Plates" section of the menu.

It was what I have come to expect for a basic beet salad: beets, walnuts, greens/micro greens (in this case, mache and arugala), goat cheese and a vinaigrette.

In short order, lunch was delicious.

The location is great for foot traffic on Main Street in Tarrytown, and is across the street from the Music Hall and the local yarn shop.

I am hoping to go back again, and taste more items off their menu, such as: the petite tarte of spinach/yellow bean/asiago, and truffle essence, the Pate of chicken liver and pistachio, the pulled pork spring roll, and possibly the pan seared squid Santorini style.

To be blunt, I think it's a bit on the pricey side, but the service is nice, the location is convenient, and the quality of the food (granted my limited experience thus far) is enjoyable.

I'll be back to taste more, and I'm hopeful that my next visit or two will be similarly enjoyable.
