We stopped here for a quick lunch on our visit to Woodstock. It's a cute town and has lots of cute shops and restaurants. I got a BLT which came with a side of fries. It was your typical BLT. Perfect lunch! My sidekick got a tuna salad on a croissant. The thing was huge. Hers came with curly fries. We both got a fancy drink with cinnamon and whipped cream. I think it was whiskey coffee. I can't remember but it was yummy. Topped with an Italian wafer cookie. Nice staff, quick service.

Penne alla vodka, broiled salmon, garlic bread
Lydia C.

I was THOROUGHLY impressed with this (vaguely Mexican by day and Italian by night) ristorante. We were seated upstairs, in a cozy, intimate setting with white tablecloths and dim lighting. When I saw the elegance of the setting and the formal menu, I assumed that it'd be a pricey meal, but I was more than happy to find out otherwise! We ordered the penne alla vodka, broiled salmon (which came with a heaping portion of fried rice and mashed potatoes), and the side of garlic bread. Based on the price of the garlic bread ($3.99), I thought it'd be just a piece or two on top of the pasta - but I was astonished to find out that it's the real deal, with slice after slice! The salmon was good and not too dry. The fried rice surprised me as an Asian dish in an Italian entrée, but the potatoes were creamy and yummy. But nothing in this meal could top the penne alla vodka - absolutely delicious. Full five stars! Servers were not overly attentive but professional, and the clean bathroom was a welcome sight!

We were visiting Woodstock with a large party, and an online search yielded Allison's as one of a few well-rated spots that would not only be open to large groups, but also welcoming to a pet who was traveling with us. The restaurant is homey and cottage-like, both inside and out. The menu has a diner-like variety and everyone from our youngest to our oldest eaters found something they wanted. Everything across the board was decent and well-seasoned. Feeling particularly peckish, I ordered their cheeseburger hero, which turned out like a classic chopped cheese sandwich. I really appreciated the warmth and flexibility of the service here. The members of our party were arriving at all different times, but our waitress was quick to drop by our table and collect orders from the newest arrivals. We have a few picky eaters in our group, but the kitchen was open and welcoming to their modifications. Other servers kept our water glasses filled, and sizable lollipops were doled out to all the kiddos in our groups at the end of our meal (to their great delight).

Cheese ravioli parmigiana

Delicious dinner on a Tuesday night, with no wait at 7pm. My dinner was a branzino dish with roasted potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, garlic, and a sauce they made to be gluten free and dairy free - lemon sauce with EVOO instead of butter. Seriously so good! Husband had a Rueben sandwich with sweet potato fries (extra $), and felt it was good but nothing spectacular. Hard to make this be a standout sandwich I suppose. One kid had a cheese ravioli parmigiana entree and it was so much cheese. The other kid had chipotle chicken BLT sandwich and really liked how spicy it was. Service was great, waitress was knowledgable and the staff was attentive with water refills. The inside is super cute with plants hanging throughout the ceiling. We took our daughter's service dog that she's raising and the waitress brought over a bowl of water for the dog.

Snack Platter

Such a cute restaurant in Woodstock! I ordered the chicken marsala and my boyfriend ordered the chicken Francese, and both were absolutely delicious! I came with my boyfriend's family, which included a one-year-old baby and a small dog, as a group of 8. The restaurant allowed us to bring in the dog and had a seat for the baby, so they were very accommodating. The mixed food platter wasn't my favorite, but the mango pineapple smoothie was delicious! I also ordered the soup with my pasta and the chicken and rice soup was delicious as well. Despite having a big group, they were pretty good with keeping up with us and our big order during a busy time of day. I genuinely had a great experience here and would be so happy to come back. To be honest, my boyfriend's dish was even better than my chicken marsala, and the chicken marsala is so good!

From Take Out/Pick Up Area To Dining Area

The long-running and previous Joshua's will always be remembered as a Woodstock staple. But with their closure, Allison's Restaurant made their entrance. There are no shoes to be filled as Joshua's was global and Mediterranean with the Shashoukas, Israeli salads, shammatov, etc. Those were the days. The newest kid on the block, Allison's, also runs the gamut between a mix of wraps to quesadillas to fajitas, some Italian fare to souvlaki to Mexican street corn to a cordon Bleu- heck, there are even plantains offered here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Since hubs and I are spending almost every weekend in Woodstock, I have a better gage at comparing menus and who's offering what. The owner Isabel, is super pleasant and welcoming. The space is very minimalist and the dining room feels toasty good. She and her family are bringing a different spin to their restaurant- but they're also keeping in line and offering a Smoke Salmon sandwich for instance- which a lot of people enjoy (I do too) and other breakfast staples. Ventilation system is great and I didn't carry those food smells on me. These folks open at 9ish(?) and close at 9:30 I think and offer more than the 3 square meals. Again, the menu is all over the place, but options are almost endless. Despite the 'bland' or 'mediocre food' a few folks are complaining about, it was a simple breakfast pickup for me. The high-end prices in town are something hubs and I are familiar with- but it's also nice having a new eatery offering a menu that won't break your wallet.

Chicken Fran chaise, incredible
Richard H.

From the moment we walked in to the second we left was magical. The food was amazing the cozy atmosphere on a nice fall evening was incredible. The staff here couldn't have been nicer, very welcoming clean and organized restaurant. I can't say enough good about Allison's restaurant. We will absolutely be back

Cori B.

One word... Wow. This place felt like HOME! We took a trip to the Catskills for a night, we come from about two hours away so I searched the internet long and hard for some good food!! I'm so glad I came across Allison's, everything was amazing!!! We were sat right away, menus drinks, etc all right away! Our waitress and waiter were absolutely attentive and such friendly welcoming people! Our drinks and food were exceptional. Chicken piccata and scallops, cooked perfectly! Flavors were authentic and delicious, it's hard to find a good Caesar salad and chicken and rice soup, as well as butternut squash soup, fresh guacamole... They had it all!!! Thank you Allison's for an awesome dinner and experience!!! Next time we're here we will definitely come back and visit! The real flowers on the table- so cute

Garlic bread
Chrissy R.

Food was hearty and good but we waited FOREVER - an hour for pick up that supposedly would take 2 minutes. Was hard w a toddler but they were really nice. Got the salmon, a garlic chicken pasta w oil and garlic bread. Probably easier to dine in.

Spring white sangria. Yum.

My partner and I had such a lovely meal here to celebrate our anniversary. The aesthetic is…read moregorgeous but very welcoming; we went on a beautiful day so we opted to sit outside on their nice shady balcony. We chose SILVIA because the menu is vegetable forward and as a vegetarian there were several dishes I had to try. Both my omni partner and I loved the mushroom lentil pâté, stuffed artichokes, and smoked beets we had for appetizers. The pâté is rich and flavorful and the pickled veggies it's served with are so good we only wished the dish came with more of them. The artichokes were perfectly tender and are stuffed with raclette and ramp (YUM), and the lemon breadcrumbs they're topped with pair so well with the cheese, and add a lovely brightness and zing. The smoked beets were also perfectly tender with a deep rich smokey flavor, and the chimichurri they come with does a nice job to add brightness (There's a theme here of rich flavors paired with brightness to make your palette pop). For an entrée we opted to share the local mushroom & pasta rags dish. the pasta rags were cooked nicely, soft but still toothy, and the mushrooms, black garlic butter, and thyme added a rich deep flavor. I was obsessed with the amount of parmigiano reggiano the pasta was topped with -- I could've eaten plate after plate of this dish. Their cocktail menu seems to be just as well thought out as their food with some unique offerings. I tried and enjoyed both Mezcal options. Service was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive. TL;DR: beautiful space, absolutely delicious food, plenty of vegetarian options, fun cocktails, great service. Go here.

The outdoor patio was gorgeous with hanging string lights and it was nice to sit out on a warm summer night. However, the indoor also had an amazing vibe with an open kitchen concept and a swanky bar. On a Friday night both areas were packed, so I'd say a reservation here is a must. I made mine well in advance. We started off with a few small plates and all were delish. I heard good things about the fresh hot pita bread with whipped butter and was not let down. We also had fresh heirloom tomatoes with a whipped feta, and prosciutto and endive. For my main I went with scallops. While these were absolutely incredible I do have to mention that the price was very high for what was received. Four small scallops for $40... and mostly just a huge bed of corn and peas. Delicious, but way way steep when considering what was given. I also had some of my husband's steak which was perfectly cooked and salted and came with the most delicious oyster mushrooms. This is definitely a spendy dinner (especially with a few cocktails in the mix), BUT... it's classy and food and drinks are top tier. So for a special night out this is absolutely worth a visit.

We also had wonderful service from several staff members throughout our meal, so well taken care of. We started with the House-Made Pierogi, the onions are cooked down in butter and sage, the brown butter hits with richness, cool sour cream, then the pierogi melt in your mouth. The texture of the pierogi itself, is tender and pillowy, so the experience isn't just rich flavor, the experience is the texture as well. I had the roast chicken, which comes with whipped potatoes and carrots. A simple dish, packed with incredible flavor. The meat was moist and tender, the skin crisp, the cook spot on. The potatoes, might be Idaho, because the potatoe flavor really comes forward towards mid-bite. The buttery carrots are paired nicely with mint flavor. The sauce is Porcini-Tarragon cream, a very nice choice, really compliments the meal. I was impressed, and I think it speaks volumes to take a simple dish, impart it with rich flavor, technique, and to elevate it. My husband had the lobster spaghetti, but he's currently unavailable for my review. The ambiance is dimly lit, dark colors- rich like their flavors, some brick, and the volume lively. We sat by a window, which was nice at 730 for end of summer twilight. Next visit we'll make our reservation for the patio, which would have been lovely at that time, but we booked short notice- and felt very fortunate to get a table for such a phenomenal restaurant. I keep thinking back, and I'm pretty blown away. It couldn't have been any more perfect. We had an event prior, at Opus 40, Red Onion was the cherry on top! It was my birthday :)

Despite not having a reservation, we were able to be seated promptly. The complimentary bread and olive oil were solid. The meatball appetizer ($19) was decent but tiny, and the pasta special ($29) was not too impressive and was too oily. I didn't even bother to glance at the dessert menu. Service was not in line with an upscale restaurant. The server never came over to take our orders, and she finally did only after we brought this up to the host who was quite apologetic. Then she was attentive for a little but then returned to her inattentiveness. Finally, the bathroom could've used some tidying up as well. Sorry Cucina, I really wanted to like you.

Over an hour between the appetizer, an average plate of karaage, and the sashimi and sushi. This on a night with the upstairs closed and the place only half full. If the ama ebi has lost all its flavor, nothing else on the plate is fresh. Only the seabream stood out. The saddleback roll, which the waiter talked up, was the biggest disappointment. Only the oshinko maki was good. The most tenured sushi chef was passionate about the product. No one else in the kitchen was doing much to help him, considering how many cuts he had to rescue. It's not a sushi bar unless you can see the freshness of the fish on display. Telling, then, that Medo has no display case at a sushi bar that should just be called a counter. $120 per person isn't expensive for sushi. But it is for the experience we just had.

From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel so welcome, ushering us to an awesome table on their inviting patio so we could dine with our dog. The service only got better from there. Our server, Grace, was phenomenal. We were debating between small and large plates and asked for her advice on portions. Usually, servers just push you to order more, leading to a table full of wasted food. Grace did the exact opposite--she guided us perfectly and honestly advised against adding another side dish. She was 100% right on the mark. Thank you. Absolutely every single dish was a "wow"--piping hot, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor: ----Tteok Bokki ($18): I had seen this on many Korean menus and this was my first time trying Korean rice cakes, and I'm so glad I did. A wonderfully spicy, cheesy, chewy combo with melted raclette. --Crispy Wild Shrimp & Shishito ($24): Another spicy, delectable hit with a great sweet-and-savory balance. --Moo Shu Mushroom & Vegetables ($30): Delicious and fresh--the perfect mild counterpoint to the heavier, spicy dishes. --Crispy Panko Chicken Katsu ($32): We're still talking about how incredible this was.

My bartender wasn't particularly friendly or attentive, although I'll acknowledge that vibe is subjective and maybe we simply didn't click. I ordered a mezcal margarita, which was pretty forgettable. The bigger issue was the service. I waited about 30 minutes for a salad and eventually had to ask what was happening before it appeared. I was told the kitchen was backed up, which I understand happens, but 30 minutes for a salad,with no communication along the way, is pretty wild. My second dish, a shrimp starter, was much better and honestly rescued this from being a one-star experience. There are clearly some good things coming out of the kitchen. But overall, the place had a strangely unwelcoming feel. What stood out most was a lack of hospitality: little engagement, limited attentiveness, and no real sense that anyone was particularly concerned about the experience. Maybe it was an off night, but for a restaurant at this price point, the front-of-house team could use much more focus on making guests feel welcome and looked after. The shrimp starter was good, but a very odd experience overall.
