Created by Chef Harris Mayer and the Tomassetti family, Cornerstone was built on a simple idea: exceptional food begins with exceptional ingredients. By establishing the restaurant within the farming community itself, the kitchen is able to build menus around what local farms and producers are harvesting at their peak. The menu features seasonal vegetables, local meats, fresh seafood, handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, and thoughtfully prepared steaks, alongside Italian-inspired dishes that reflect the Tomassetti family's Abruzzese heritage. The beverage program complements the kitchen with craft cocktails, spirit-free mocktails, New York wines, local beer and cider, and a curated selection of bottles from around the world. Designed as a place to gather, Cornerstone offers dinner, weekend brunch, bar seating, outdoor patio dining, and private events ranging from intimate celebrations to weddings and corporate gatherings. Catering is also available for select events throughout the Hudson Valley. More than a restaurant, Cornerstone is a reflection of Pawling and the surrounding community, rooted in seasonality, shaped by local partnerships, and created to bring people together.
