About

Blue Hill opened in 2004 and seats 88 people in what was a cow barn.[1] The restaurant serves contemporary cuisine using local ingredients, with an emphasis on produce from the center's farm. Blue Hill staff also participate in the Stone Barns Center's education programs. In 2016, Eater rated Blue Hill at Stone Barns as the best restaurant in the United States.[2] In 2019, the Michelin Guide expanded to include Westchester County, and gave the restaurant two Michelin Stars. It is the only restaurant in the county to receive any Michelin Stars.[3]

In May 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, Barber launched the resourcED program at Blue Hill at Stone Barns restaurants which packaged ingredients from the Stone Barns farm and included directions for customers to cook themselves. The boxes were intended to keep the restaurant and their suppliers in business when they couldn't host diners.[4]

In 2020, Dan Barber announced he would be stepping down from the kitchen of Blue Hill at Stone Barns and Blue Hill in Greenwich Village. The change is anticipated to happen in 2021, with the kitchens being led with a diversity-focused chef-in-residence concept. The new concept is a response to the Black Lives Matter protests bringing attention to structural inequities in the restaurant industry.[5]
