Word of mouth has been great. We have had a wonderful response from people who have come in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bender and her co-owner and cousin, Alice Huntington, are Hudson Falls natives and have many relatives there. While neither has been in the restaurant or bar business before, they have established a successful menu.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did our research, talked to food distributors, attended food shows out of state, and reviewed many recipes,\u201d says Bender, a licensed real estate salesperson. \u201cI\u2019m a project manager, and as a project manager, you are supposed to be able to do everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>The restaurant\u2019s menu includes breakfast sandwiches and baked goods, quiche, soups, wings, charcuterie boards, flatbreads, pasta, and other dishes suitable for a quick bite or a night out with friends and family.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone loves the items on the menu,\u201d says Bender. \u201cWe may change out some desserts to suit the season, but most dishes will remain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlice is always tweaking things in the kitchen. She is determined to do things right,\u201d says Bender.<\/p>\n<p>Huntington, who runs the kitchen, is a passionate baker but has celiac disease, an autoimmune disease that means she cannot eat foods with gluten. She has extensively researched preparing foods suitable for gluten-intolerant people, a growing consumer need.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a separate toaster but not a separate kitchen, and we aren\u2019t certified gluten-free, but we do everything we can. We have several gluten-free items or ones that we can make gluten-free,\u201d says Bender.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Falcons Brewhouse also features freshly brewed, locally roasted coffee and a full bar with draft beers carefully selected from local and regional breweries.<\/p>\n<p>Bender and Huntington have provided an inviting atmosphere, unique d\u00e9cor, and an upscale ambiance to make one feel right at home.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working on getting grants to make improvements,\u201d says Bender. \u201cWe would like to put a deck on the back so people can sit out in nice weather and look over the river. Hudson Falls is in the process of revitalization, and we are part of that. We hope it will attract more new businesses and people outside the area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The building\u2019s previous occupant, Hudson River Brewhouse, received a $25,000 National Grid Main Street Grant to revitalize the building, home to the first bank in the city, Commercial National Bank of Sandy Hill, chartered in 1906.
