Dobbs Ferry is an ambassador of West coast food and East coast style with an "old world" feel, that is uniquely and unequivocally San Francisco.
Dobbs Ferry is a small village in Westchester County, New York, along the East bank of the Hudson river, approximately 20 miles North of Manhattan, and the hometown of the original owners, Scott and Danny. The newest owners, Lee Ann and Steve, both grew up in different towns further north along that east coast shoreline in Connecticut, and also embrace the east coast nuances as the owners before them, hoping to continue mixing the east and west coast feeling of Dobbs.
Our restaurant Dobbs Ferry is a California Bistro in the Hayes Valley district of San Francisco that marries West coast cuisine with old school, small town New York influences. The cuisine of Dobbs Ferry is casual, rustic and approachable. We have personal relationships with our purveyors, local farmers, fish mongers and producers. All of our raw materials are largely "natural", "sustainable" and "organic". This is not a new trend for any contemporary bay area restaurant, but it is a proud moniker that Dobbs Ferry will continue. It is a common standard for a restaurant to be "farm to table" and as organic, sustainable and natural as possible, when it comes to our food menu as well our our wine program. We will abide by these practices and philosophy to build that natural trust and understanding between the Dobbs Ferry staff and its patrons.
