Chef Peter Kelly has designed a two-course summer prix fixe dinner at Apropos restaurant.
The special menu starts with a choice of appetizers that include wild mushroom cappuccino with porcini foam and black pepper biscotti; a salad of red and yellow watermelon with feta cheese, kaffir lime oil, tiny greens, and toasted cumin; or mini duck tacos with cucumber, scallions, and hoisin sauce.
The three entrée options are roasted Chatham cod with lemon capers, curried couscous, and green and yellow squash; roasted Hudson Valley chicken, parmigiano polenta, chicken jus and spring vegetables; or baked eggplant stuffed with basil ricotta, San Marzano tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.
The prix fixe dinner option is available Sunday through Thursday, and the cost is $39.95 per person.
Kelly, whose restaurants in the Hudson Valley include X2O in Yonkers, is best known for his interpretation of contemporary American cuisine that has earned accolades on national television and in the hospitality sector.
Apropos has undergone a dining room revitalization, an expanded wine selection and an elevated menu presenting local ingredients that are prepared with European techniques and Asian embellishments.
Apropos is in the Abbey Inn & Spa, 900 Fort Hill Road, Peekskill. Reservations can be made at 914-739-3546.
