Little of the history of the house and its occupants between 1679 and 1707 is known other than the first recorded owner of the property was Edward Whittaker, an English solider in the employ of the Duke of York. In 1707, when Nicholas Hoffman became the owner of the residence, all transactions and information pertinent to the building were recorded.
The most notable member of the Hoffman family was Nicholas' son, Anthony. A blacksmith by trade, he served for many years as a trustee of Kingston, owned large estates in Ulster and Dutchess Counties, was an elected member of the Provincial Congress of New York City in 1774, was signer of the "Articles of Confederation" in 1775, was appointed a judge of Dutchess County in 1777, and was one of the regents of the University of New York in 1780.

This is my favorite place for dinner in Kingston. It's well-priced for upscale fare, and the ambiance inside and out is great. Some favorites here are the Waldorf chicken encrusted with walnuts and gorgonzola, the french onion soup, the duck, and the house dressing. The flavored margaritas in the summer are fab. The service is always excellent, too.

What a nice place. It was a very nice experience. We was on vacation and ended up in the Hoffman house. When you come in you clearly can see it is a old original house with a lot of levels and several dining arras which I think is in the moment with covid definitely a plus. They also have a nice covered outside area with heaters. The food was really good . We had french onion soup, calamari, seafood risotto and chicken and everything was very good. The only thing we didn't like the oily balsamic dressing for the salad.
The waitress we had was very nice and attentive

Had a delightful early dinner this week in this historical building! Lots of temptations on the menu. So many interesting entrees that we will be going back to try more! Great service, interesting special cocktails, ( Vodka lavender lemonlade), so many choices! We settled on the Steak au Poivre and the Roast Duck du jour special. Delish! We both chose the twice baked potato as our side and a nice salad with homemade dressing. We split the house special creme brulee! Can't wait to go back!

I went to the Hoffman House expecting excellent cuisine. When you think of a tavern you think excellent food, warm atmosphere and ambience. The food was presented nicely. However when eating what was supposed to be a shrimp pasta dish with sauce, it was flavorless. we young woman who served me, not my original server, I was cordial and sweet. After reading the reviews online I chose this restaurant. However, once taste in their daily special, I cannot recommend the food at all.

Planned on eating at the Beekman Arms where we were staying. Was told the resturant was closed only a few options for take out. A very nice person sitting in the lobby said they had the same experience and recommended the 15 min. drive to Kingston. So glad we did. Great old building, great food, beautiful fire in the fireplace. Everything we were hoping for. We will go back again!
