Sat nite 7:15 reservation for 8 people: the food was good, but the experience was marred by an extremely long wait between appetizer and entree (>45 min) and the attitude of the mgmt. When we inquired after our main course, she answered that they were a full house that night and it was not unusual to wait so long. We were surrounded by empty tables in our section of the diningroom. She didn't seem to understand that an apology or small comp goes a long way to making a customer feel valued. In the end, coffee and dessert were comped, but she had already set the tone. Food was quite good; dessert selection a little lackluster.
Had a reservation to eat before a show next door. Glad I did because there were no openings. Anyway, ordered one of their special drinks, the Bearsville: Vodka, St. Germain, Fresh lemon juice and Agave syrup, with a cucumber slice. A bit tart and delicious. I ordered the New York Strip with garlic mashed. While the wait was a bit longer than I expected, the cut of meat was absolutely phenomenal. Easily one the of the top 5 steaks I've had. Cooked perfectly! Wife had the Citrus lime BBQ salmon, also delicious. No complaints. Definitely worth a try.
Amazing place, but you pay for it
Simply amazing food. We were visiting the area from Manhattan. Nice place to sit outside under the trees, by the stream, but even better was the food. I am vegan so there was tofu soba noodle for me and my boyfriend was happy camper with filet mignon and ice cream cake dessert. Delicious!
The waitstaff was engaging and attentive, and the food was excellent. The place itself is beautiful, as the restaurant is situated above a stream and the whole side of the restaurant facing it was floor to ceiling windows. Even the other customers were friendly and excited about the food. The hostess was the worst thing about the place as she was unfriendly and cold. They would do better to hire a person who exudes warmth and seems more welcoming.
