 The Would Restaurant is renowned for catering events held both on and off premises. The Would specializes in New American Cuisine, offering delightful vegetarian options as well. Our restaurant can hold 100 guests. If an outdoor event is more to your liking, we would be pleased to orchestrate a lovely affair on the grounds here amid beautiful views of the Hudson Valley, as well as a plethora of apple trees.


 The Would is pleased to accommodate all events such as Weddings, Commitment Ceremonies, Vow Renewals, Rehearsal Dinners, Barbecues, Meetings, Family Reunions, Graduation Parties, Retirement Parties, Bar Mitzvah or your special occasion.  We invite you to be our guest at our beautiful facility, and to dine eating the Hudson Valley's finest and freshest cuisine. We also offer full service catering off premises, with locations including, but not limited to Evelyn's View in Milton, New York, and at Locust Grove, The Samuel B. Morse home in Poughkeepsie, New York. Our Inn and Restaurant are located in Highland, New York.
