I took a deep breath after hearing the Poughkeepsie Journal's restaurant critic, Daniel Mochon, had reviewed Kingston's Elephant, my favorite place to sip and nosh.
A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Mochon knows his stuff and expects a lot from mid-Hudson Valley chefs and restauranteurs.
From his past reviews, I can conclude that bad service is his biggest bugaboo.
I am happy to report that he loved Elephant co-owner Maya Karrol's approach: "Her service was very attentive and thoughtful, with a professional poise and sense of timing that comes from years of dining room experience. With all of the small dishes, table busing becomes even more critical and Karrol did a great job keeping clutter to a minimum."
Read the full, glowing, review here.
Phew.
Now I can continue to eat there in peace.

My man and I keep saying we're going to stop in and try it (and I admit, I'm also really intrigued by their print ads).
Any entree recommendations?
You really can't go wrong with anything, but I always try to get one of the specials.
As for the wine, try a vinho verde if they are offering it. Lovely.
