Yummy Indeed: the New York Times Reviews the Clock Tower Grill

Game night at the Clock Tower Grill sounds delicious.

The New York Times reviewed the Clock Tower Grill this weekend, and that was one of the things the reviewer particularly liked. Nothing to do with trivia contests or even poker—it’s about what’s on the menu.

“In a nod to the hunting traditions in Putnam County, [Rich] Parente serves a lot of game and even offers “game nights” like one in February that featured buffalo-tongue pastrami, squab confit, boar cheek and a chocolate custard made with boar blood,” wrote Emily DiNitto.

But it wasn’t the exotic that DiNitto led off with, it was the grits.

Creamy and rich, with plenty of local Cheddar mixed in, the grits are best sampled as an appetizer with grilled shrimp and applewood-smoked bacon that, like all of the restaurant’s charcuterie and condiments, is made in-house.

The dish is a good example of the high-low, sophisticated but unpretentious fare to be had at Clock Tower Grill, a two-year-old Brewster spot. Farm-to-table has become a marketing cliché, but at this restaurant, you can taste what it means.
