Primavera has known many lives as both restaurant and residence. Originally built by a member of the Purdy family, one of the original settlers in the area, it was also known as the 1864 House, so named for its date of construction. Although the building has been renovated several times, the bones of the house are still recognizable, especially as one looks up to the charming garret, whose flat roof, sometimes called a widow’s walk, often served as an observation platform. Mona Trattoria, a family-operated Italian restaurant that operated for some 30 years, followed after the home was converted to a restaurant. In 2002, actor Stanley Tucci bought it and renamed it Finch Tavern, renovating it with dark wood shutters and soft yellow banquettes that feel fresh today. In 2006, Jimmy Gjevukaj and his family took over the premises and relaunched the restaurant as Primavera, continuing the tradition of fine Italian dining in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The restaurant is named after America’s most famous founding father, Benjamin Franklin. While he was pinnacle in America’s birth, he also became the first ambassador to France. While on trips to Paris, he would wine and dine with the best of them and when he returned, he would bring back the French culture, food and wine, and share it with our new nation. Dishes like Potato Lyonnaise and Crème Brulée were the first of his favorites he shared with America. The Benjamin reflects that bridged gap between the two countries’ cultures. The restaurant and bar is french-inspired, but uniquely American. It sits in Ridgefield's historic district in a 1875 house, but the interiors are modern, elegant and new. Chef prepares dishes like Mussels, Foie Gras, Shrimp Toast, Chicken, Halibut, Duck, and more.

This was our first experience with the new ownership group, and, as they say in baseball, they've lost a few miles off their fastballs. The menu is the same, but the food isn't quite as good. We live 40 minutes away and have always looked forward to making the trek to Brewster because we knew that this was one of the finest restaurants in the Lower Hudson Valley, but if our latest experience is representative, The Arch has dropped a notch. For example, the sauce for the Beef Wellington was overly salty, the orange sauce for the excellent duck was a tad too sweet, and the chocolate soufflés hardly tasted of chocolate. Service was impeccable, as always, and the staff are very friendly. The place looks beautiful.

Great food. Fantastic service. Only issue is they cranked up the music until I could not hear the people at my table.
