Our Story

“The profound realization that each random passerby, each stranger, is living a life as unique and complex as your own”. Every defeat, every success, every heartbreak, love, joy, and victory; we are all living beautifully layered lives. This is what Sonder means, and this very ideal embodies who we are as a restaurant. The sense that you can be living a profoundly beautiful life, and so can the person at the table next to you, the person you share that glass of pet nat with, the person cooking your food. All of it, complex and beautiful.

So we set out to create a beautiful space to enjoy living some of those moments. Whether its a brief stop in for a glass of wine and a snack after work, a first date, Upstate sauntering from the city, or anything in between- we hope to be a part of those complex lives one bite and sip at a time.

After 3 years in Hudson New York, we’ve made a forever move to Kingston New York, where we believe our existence is a truly good thing. The vibe, people, and the energy of Kingston really emulate what we try to be. Sonder is a seasonal and local centric restaurant. The catchphrases may be cliche’ but we truly mean them. Natural wine, seasonal, as local as possible, and with a dedication towards reducing or eliminating waste in the food industry.
