A beloved cornerstone of the North Salem dining scene since 2000, One Twenty One blends rustic charm with a modern, globally inspired culinary experience. In 2014, the restaurant underwent a major transformation with the return of Chef Beck Bolender, who brought back his refined skills from New York City’s acclaimed Jean-Georges. Under the leadership of owners Michele Savino and Peter DeVito, One Twenty One reemerged with a bold new spirit, fresh design, and elevated approach to casual fine dining. The seasonally driven menu features globally influenced dishes rooted in the Hudson Valley, highlighting local ingredients from nearby farmers and purveyors. Chef Bolender’s cuisine is both sophisticated and approachable, complemented by reimagined wine, beer, and cocktail menus that are creative yet unpretentious. The restaurant’s redesigned interior mirrors its culinary evolution—modern and youthful with a relaxed, upscale country atmosphere. The warm main dining room includes a view into the open kitchen, showcasing a wood-burning oven. The vibrant bar and lounge area offers a casual space to enjoy the full menu without the formality, while the Ridge Room on the lower level provides a sleek, private setting for events and gatherings.
