My family spent several days at a rental home a mile or so from Gracie's and, naturally, had to…read moregive the local diner a try. Gracie's is an elevated diner experience...all the breakfast and brunch things you could want, but up a couple levels from a classic greasy spoon diner. Not dissing the greasy spoon diner experience...love that...but this is based in that historical experience, with an overall nicer experience in terms of food and atmosphere. Also, before we get into the specifics, here are 2 words which would bring me in from just about anywhere: Donut menu. Yes, they make their own donuts here, and that's enough reason to stop in, take out, or worship at the front door. We got our donuts to go after the meal...The coffee was GREAT. Too often, coffee, which should be the opening star of a diner experience, can be flavorless, browned water. Here it was good. Bold as I needed it to be, and the perfect foundation for the rest of the meal. My next go-to if they have it brunch experience is biscuits. They have them...you can get a biscuit on its own or, heck, go for a mini biscuit basket! I live for a biscuit-forward establishment. The Full Breakfast (submitting biscuit or potatoes for the meat) would have been my choice, but I decided to roll my own and ended up with a biscuit, fruit cup, and side of Hash Browns. The biscuit was good, large, and perfect with butter and honey. They make the hash browns to order - large hash brown patties - and with 2 different orders of them at the table, one was overcooked, too brown, and not impressive...but the other was perfect and delicious...bordering on potato pancake territory in presentation and flavor. Our server was fantastic...we had a large party encompassing 3 different tables in the middle of a Sunday morning (On Easter no less), which is, of course, the busiest time of the week. She was friendly, enthusiastic, and never made us feel rushed. If I found myself in the Hudson Valley again, Gracie's would be a definite destination for me.

This a worthwhile place to pop in for a good meal in a nice…read moreriver view location. There are plenty of pleasant surprises on the menu for all sorts of diners. Our server was friendly. I hate to leave a harsh review but I see others have had the exact same complaints and this isn't my first bad experience here. Once we sat down and had our sandwich orders taken it was at least an hour till our food was out. I had to go to the kitchen after about 45 minutes and they said, oh, it is right here and brought out the bread/ biscuits app someone had asked for. Bread = 45 minutes. The rest of the entrees then trickled out slowly one by one ensuring half the table were done eating before the last salad finally arrived. We had assumed our server's shift had ended because I never saw her again in the restaurant until I went up to get the check form the cashier. She thenpopped out from somewhere to take over printing out my check. I suspect we were auto-gratuitied looking back but she never mentioned it. I failed to check and was just dying to get out of there It seemed like there were lots of staff but where are they and what are they doing?? . People at tables were just rubbernecking around looking for someone. No one was on the floor. No one was out in the tables. No one was watching food, timing, drinks, turning the tables, etc. It was busy when we arrived but almost empty by the time we left. We were there for over 2 hours. I wonder if there are systems in place that were created out of inexperience and are now the sunk cost way of running things. Are there sections? Does the hostess know how to manage pacing? Does the server understand timing and to check the tables? I don't mean to sound pedantic, I just don't think there are people here who understand that the job is to manage the flow, "but was it busy?" Yes, it is supposed to be. If you cannot serve someone, you need to wait to seat them. If you can't handle the tables, close a section. Just filling tables and figuring it out is unfair to diners. Thank god you can go to the front to get your check or we might still be there. :( No owner response needed

But I assume it's a lot of microwave and premade meals sitting out, because that's the food we got. Overpriced, bland and all around a waste. I love korean food and am used to certain flavors. This was just inauthentic and bland. Pork had no sauce, just a dry rub with no flavor and came out cold. Scallion pancakes were doughy and undercooked with no flavor. Wings were only edible part. It's a cool spot but if you go to an actual korean restaurant you will taste the difference. Won't be returning.

The evening I went they had a disco night, started to get crowded around 11:00 pm in their front dance area. The disco night was a very welcoming space to all and focused also on dancing with consent. There's a large upstairs space with a pool table you can use for free; sometimes if there is a wait, you can reserve it by putting your name with the bartender downstairs on a list. Overall it was a great spot and the people are friendly

Since they are already finalists, according to James Beard, I'll spend this review explaining more…read morewhy I only gave it three stars. The food in general was well prepared, delicious and certainly had a sophisticated knowledge of spicing in flavoring. But it's more the minor details that stops an experience from being a really wonderful one. So here are some details, you may think I'm crazy or you may relate. The first was coffee: they didn't have decaf and they don't have half-and-half. I'm not going to speculate why, but for quite a few of us decaf is a true pleasure and it'd be nice to have that available. To the waitresses credit she offered to bring me milk and cream, so I could make my own half-and-half? That was a first! The second was the hot chocolate: the actual hot chocolate was quite delicious, Mexican style with some cinnamon. But it was topped with a mountain of whipped cream and some small crunchy pieces. I think it's pretty standard nowadays that when you're going to top a drink like that the staff tends to ask whether you like whipped cream or not. I really dislike whipped cream so had to scoop all that stuff off. The next one was just simply funny: when you're ordering a side order of eggs, one option they list on the menu is a sunny side up egg, one of the other options is to have a "fried egg". I asked the waitress what exactly a fried egg was, she didn't know. She asked the chef, and apparently they didn't know either. So I ordered it over easy, hoping that was doable, but I just got a sunny side up egg instead. And lastly, was the ambience: the space is quite nice and comfortable, but if you're sitting in the outer ring near the windows and it's a very cold winter day (which it was when we ate) expect to be cold in there. They kindly offered to hang our coats, but I had to keep mine on the whole time. Maybe if the insulation and heating system is unable to keep up, you bring in a couple space heaters for the day?

My wife chose the lamb burger and I went for falafel. Both turned out to be solid choices. I was impressed with the freshness of the greens served alongside as well as the perfect outer crunch and tender inside of well-spiced falafel. Our server was warm, welcoming, and efficient and the room was calm and comfortable. We will be back for dinner sometime soon.

Even with our high expectations, Phos definitely didn't disappoint. The space is beautiful and the staff were so kind and attentive (a few of them came over from Gaskins as well!). We kicked things off with a round of cocktails and appetizers, and the Voyager was one of our favorites from the drink menu. I also tried the Elysium martini, which as promised was super strong, but it was probably the only thing I tried during my entire visit that I wouldn't order again. I would have liked a little more of the olive brine and lemon verbena flavors to come through, most sips really just tasted like vodka. The meal only got better and better from there, though! We ordered a couple of the Mezze spreads with pita, the beets, and the roasted parsnips to start. Everything was delicious but the parsnips were an absolute home run, everyone at the table was blown away by how flavorful such a simple veggie could be. For entrees, some of the favorites at the table were the Phos Gyro, Sea Scallops, and the Swordfish special. You can really tell everything is farm-to-table, it's all so fresh and flavorful. I'm super excited about this spot, I can't wait to visit again the next time I'm in town!

I also found out on our return, that we have friends who remember frequenting this place back in the day. If we find ourselves back this way again, we would love to make another visit.

The service was slow at first but they were switching waitresses for our table it seemed. The new staff was great. We ended up getting 2 sampler flights to try each of the 10 different beers they had. My favorite ended p being their hibiscus blonde ale which is very unique. You can also take 4 packs home with you and order with the waitress. If they don't stock in 4 packs they are happy to pack 32 oz bottles for you on draft.
