Stissing House is a restaurant in Pine Plains, currently characterized as a "country tavern".[1] Clare de Boer owns and operates Stissing House. Previously, a French restaurant, also called Stissing House, operated in the space occupied by de Boer's restaurant.
History
[edit]The building in which Stissing House is located was completed in 1782,[1] or 1783.[2] From 1995 until 2021, the building was occupied by a French restaurant, also called Stissing House.[1] The French restaurant was operated by Michel and Patricia Jean.[3]
Clare de Boer became interested in purchasing and restoring the restaurant when she learned Michel and Patricia Jean intended to close it in 2021.[1] The new restaurant's design draws inspiration from the Shakers.[4][5][6] de Boer has compared the challenges of operating Stissing House to the challenges associated with operating her Manhattan restaurant King, saying that King has "no room" but a large number of potential diners, while Stissing House has "loads of room" and a much smaller pool of potential diners.[1]
