One Twenty One has been a cornerstone of the North Salem community since 2000. After 14 years of business and the return of former chef, Beck Bolender— who recently honed his skills in New York City at Jean-Georges—owners Michele Savino and Peter DeVito were encouraged to take their already popular establishment to an even higher level of culinary excellence. With Beck Bolender at the helm, One Twenty One went through a dramatic redesign and reopened in May 2014, bringing a modern, affordable dining experience to North Salem. One Twenty One’s menu focuses on globally inspired dishes starring local and seasonal ingredients from Hudson Valley farmers and purveyors. Completing the dining experience are the reimagined wine, beer, and cocktail menus, which have reached new creative heights but remain fun and intimidating. A new spirit can be felt in the restaurant redesign: young and modern but with a relaxed, chic country atmosphere. An entirely new bar and lounge area invite guests to gather with friends; it’s a relaxed environment where one can enjoy the full One Twenty One menu – without the formalities. The main dining room marries country charm with a modern sensibility and features a grand window looking into a redesigned kitchen with wood-burning oven. The lower level contains a separate dining space, the Ridge Room, with sleek modern touches, perfect for private events. Whether dining for lunch, brunch, dinner, a special event or simply stopping by the new bar and lounge, the team at One Twenty One looks forward to seeing you very soon.
