The owners, Pierre-Luc Moeys and Nina Paturel met in Amsterdam, Holland and decided to move back to the Hudson Valley, where Nina is from, to start something of their own.

Nina's history started in Woodstock, New York where her parents, Marylou and Bernard Paturel ran a little place called the Cafe Espresso in the sixties. Bob Dylan and Joan Baez were among the many people that played music, drank coffee, played chess and enjoyed long summer nights on the patio. Although Nina was just a baby, she's always dreamed of following a bit in her parents' footsteps.

Pierre-Luc is a French and classic Italian trained chef who has worked with many master chefs including Raymond Blanc and Robert Krananborg all throughout Europe. Together they've combined their skills and love of food into their restaurant. The menu is tasteful, mindful, fresh and creative but still simple with something for everyone. Oriole9 are big supporters of slow food. We're excited about our second year with Project Roots! We have partnered with the Woodstock Day School and have begun a farm on school grounds, which will provide a live lab for students and fresh, organic vegetables for our restaurant.
