Reviews for Putnam House in Mahopac, NY
Their water tasted great of which I kept drinking to my satisfaction ( weird). Our server was spectacular. Great place I just... wish it was by the lake or river. The only disappointment I had was when I ordered for the rack of lamb, I was expecting a RACKof lamb not just 3 pieces of lambchops. That's the only disappointment I had. Other than that, everything else was wonderful. Read more
We went to see/hear a Fleetwood Mac cover band , they were good, the female lead singer was pretty awesome; would go again! The... food is great, nice appetizer selection for those who just want a little something, the place itself is large and love the waythey have it decorated, plenty of room to move around, dance whatever. One of my favorite places in the area, the food isgreat too,btw.!! Read more
The food was amazing. Best steak I have ever had. Shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were big and fresh. Our waiter was charming and... delightful. Can't wait to go back again! Read more
First time here was great. Food and service was great. It's a bit pricey, but everywhere seems to be now. We had a raw bar... medley, steak, lobster tail, tuna steak, dessert and three drinks. Bill was about 175. There was a nice mixed age crowd onFriday and there was a band. Not many twenty something year olds. This is a great spot for adults. Read more
Firstly, shame on the management for having such few waitstaff on a Saturday night. Seems like a staffing or scheduling error... was partially to blame for our upsetting experience. Our lovely waitress had at least seven tables she was doing her best tomanage, while dealing with a band playing. I know none of the experience had to do with the team on the floor. I ordered theBurrata, which came out as Pancetta. One is cheese, the other is a slab of pork belly. After I sent it back, it took thekitchen 23 minutes to get me a simple appetizer. When it arrived, I gawked. There was a ball of mozzarella that clearly wasnot fresh, and not correctly prepared as burrata. It was laden atop a rock-hard slice of tomato. The crostini bread listed inthe menu that it came with which I excited for, showed up as a dinner roll. The peppers were bland and had the consistency of amealy peach. Listen, if the food were reasonably priced, I would not complain, but twelve dollars for what I got wasabsolutely a rip-off. The quality of ingredients is truly not a priority for this place; one that has prices which would makeone hope attention to simple detail and quality would be a priority. Avoid this establishment, if you have a choice. Our nightwas a true failure of management, as the staff were all very kind. Read more
Food was top notch! Waiter excellent very attentive. Nice atmosphere. Bathroom is beautiful. Warm, and hot water works... immediately haha. Little pricey, but food was great. Read more
Beautiful decor. Much bigger than expected from the outside. Very inexperienced bartenders, but very friendly. Delicious food.... Had the filet mignon. Reasonably priced for a local steakhouse. Steak was cooked to medium temperature and seasoned perfectly.Will definitely be back. Read more
I went here for my birthday dinner. We have been seeing the restaurant passing it by while going here and there. We decided to... try it out. First of all the decor was really nice, The waiters, the hostess, the bartenders and really all the servers areabsolutely wonderful. I would give service a five star. There are great TVs including a really big one by the stage so I?massuming they have live entertainment from time to time which is pretty awesome and nice for the area. The appetizers are great.We tried the giant pretzel and the chicken wings. I would rate the two appetizers that we?ve tried as five-star. However myentrée which was the ribeye which was $58 and the chicken marsala which my mom had and the burger which my husband had were sosubpar I would equate it with worse than diner fare. If you?re going to charge Manhattan style prices then I would expect thetaste and the quality to be equal or at least close to Manhattan style steak houses. I took a few bites of my steak and I justdid not finish it. My baked potato was basically something I could?ve cooked in my microwave. In a steakhouse you don?t expectto get butter in little packets that you have to unwrap either but that?s what we got when we asked for butter for my bakedpotato and the bread. For dessert I had the chocolate lava cake. It?s funny that it?s chocolate lava cake and there was no lavawhatsoever because the cake was cooked completely through. The bathrooms were beautiful. Very modern and very clean. I don?tknow if the entrées are cooked by a different chef than the appetizers were but you would think you were eating in twodifferent restaurants with the difference in the food quality between the appetizers & the entrees. I don?t think I?ll be backto this restaurant unless whoever manages or owns this restaurant gets a better chef. I truly think if that happens thisrestaurant has a real chance not only of surviving but thriving and becoming a great part if not the best part of the Read more
