American Bounty Restaurant

We visited The American Bounty Restaurant at the CIA in Hyde Park, NY on 11-12-24. Upon entering there is a cozy bar where we waited for our seating and tasted the craft beer that is brewed on premise. I tried the Cleaver IPA and thought it was tasty. Our meals were scrumptious which were prepared and served by the students. During lunch we had two different wait staff. I believe this is because they are being graded by their instructors while they serve various tables and patrons. Service was good and the meals were cooked and presented to perfection. We had the Quail and Lime Cured Salmon for Appetizers and the Market Fish and Pan Seared Duck for a main entree. In lieu of tipping there is a 20% student support surcharge which is given back to the students in scholarships. I think this is a great idea and was glad to support them. I would also like to thank the CIA for supporting our military veterans on this day with a complimentary meal to thank them for their service to this great nation.

While on a college tour, we decided to take a break from our real estate ventures and treat ourselves to a meal at the American Bounty Restaurant—and it was absolutely worth it. Nestled within the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, this spot offers an elevated dining experience that truly celebrates farm-to-table American cuisine. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, blending sophistication with a casual, approachable vibe. The menu showcased a perfect balance of classic and modern dishes, each crafted with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. I had the [insert dish you had, e.g., “pan-seared duck breast”], and it was a masterpiece—flawlessly cooked and bursting with flavor. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was impressive. What stood out the most was the exceptional service. Knowing the staff consists of culinary students honing their craft made the experience even more special. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. If you ever find yourself near Hyde Park, make sure to visit the American Bounty Restaurant. It’s more than just a meal—it’s a celebration of culinary artistry. We’ll definitely be back!

Great food - 3-course lunch for $30 - and wonderful service from Maverick & the rest of the team. Clean plates for myself and my colleagues; portions were large and presentation was beautiful.
