Putnam House - Mahopac

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

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.

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.!!

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!

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.
