The cat thinks we bought the chair from the Beacon Hotel for him. Best souvenir ever!

Wonderful service felt like living in old New York. The nicest staff ever and we even purchased the chair from the room itself. Please do not ever close!!!!!

I was the first time going to the Beacon Hotel and Restaurant on the recommendation of my daughter. We went for brunch. We were greeted and seated promptly in the garden seating. Our sever was very pleasant and attentive. Our drinks came out promptly and were spot on! We shared the Cajun oysters. My wife had the green eggs and ham. I had their version of eggs Benedict. Which had great flavors. We tried several other cocktails and they were great. Great place for bunch. Looking forward to trying dinner there.

Perfect place for a mother-daughter date! We had brunch before we made our way to Dia: Beacon. Request a window seat when you reserve a table online, the views are gorgeous! We also LOVED our waiter! He was so friendly, attentive and professional! The brunch was also AMAZING! The bread basket was not what you're thinking, it has an assortment of baked goods- so delish- and jams. The hamburger was AMAZING!!! It was Smokey and perfection. Highly recommend!

Unprofessional comment (later deleted) on FB

TLDR; The Beacon Hotel Restaurant earns a (generous) zero stars due to the atrocious (lack of) customer service and belligerent treatment that my 16 person party received from managers Eddie Lopez and Jonathan Lombardi in person and on Facebook. We booked a bachelorette party dinner a month in advance. The restaurant told us upon arrival that we never made a reservation. We were interrogated, gaslit and spoken to in an aggressive manner. Then we were told that they would find a way to seat us a half hour after our reservation time. Shortly after this, we were told that they "didn't want our business" because we were not being polite enough (despite the fact that the error was on their end and we were blamed). The unprofessional and insulting behavior continued on this FB page in the comments of our reviews. The reviews on this page are inflated - after people from our group posted 1 star experiences, the page was flooded with 5 star reviews from personal connections of the owners. Save your money and your sanity - don't book events here. Read on for full details. --- On 11/2, I arrived at the Beacon Hotel Restaurant with a 16-person group to eat dinner for my friend's bachelorette party. We made a reservation over the phone and confirmed over a month ago, but were told that they had no such reservation on record. I spoke with Eddie Lopez (manager) who asked who I made the reservation with. I said I did not recall the name of the person I spoke with on the phone. He fired questions at me in an interrogation style. He repeatedly asked if I could provide a name. I said that I couldn't as I did not have my phone to look it up. Mr. Lopez said that the best they could do was to offer the back room in a half hour. I said okay. I walked outside to update the others. Before I could share the update, Mr. Lopez rushed out behind me and said that he "wanted to get to the bottom of this." He said if a reservation WAS made and they missed it, he "had a big problem." He said I probably called the Beacon Hotel in NYC and "don't worry, it's an easy mistake to make." I replied that I did not call them. I called the phone number listed on the Beacon Hotel's (in Beacon) website. Then, he said the phone number may have redirected to another restaurant when I called (it didn't). I turned to continue speaking to the group. Before I could get a word out, Mr. Lopez raised his voice and said I was "being nasty," that he "didn't want our business," before he stormed inside. When another person asked why, he said that I rolled my eyes at him. The egregious eye roll was referred as an "abuse of staff" in a (later deleted) FB comment. Then came the best part of the evening, when we dodged the bullet of dining here and had a lovely dinner down the street at Brother's Trattoria (amazing food and customer service) instead. Several group members wrote negative reviews recounting our experience on FB. Again, we were insulted, gaslit,made to look like liars, and treated with outright hostility. In one of several (later deleted) comments, the BH wrote "I will always deny business if business is not being conducted with some sort of class. Next time go to Applebee's". When we said we had evidence of our reservation, they demanded we post the confirmation. On FB, Jonathan Lombardi (who booked the reservation) denied that the reservation was made. He said if he'd made a large party reservation, he would have "been smart" and called again the week before. I posted a clear record of phone calls and a voicemail transcript. I called the Beacon Hotel's front desk on the morning of Oct 3. I left a message requesting a reservation. I received a voicemail from Mr. Lombardi saying that he'd be "happy to take of it" at 4:30PM. Before I could call back, Mr. Lombardi called again - this time from the Beacon front desk - at 7:35PM. We spoke for a minute - in this phone call I confirmed the reservation. Once the "evidence" was clearly laid out, the Beacon Hotel could have admitted their mistake. Instead, they doubled down. They claimed the reservation had "not been confirmed" despite overwhelming contrary evidence. The FB page was flooded with positive "reviews" from folks who are personally connected to the owners of the restaurant. This was a transparent effort to inflate the restaurant's rating - which jumped from 2.8 to 4.0 within a few hours. The BH realized it would not look good if other customers saw their demeaning and dishonest comments on these reviews. They chose to delete all comments posted by the Beacon Hotel Restaurant on our group's reviews, as well as comments made by managers Eddie Lopez and Jonathan Lombardi from their personal accounts. This also deleted several direct replies that our group made to these comments. In short, a horrible experience. Could not recommend any less.

Fried Calamari and Coconut Shrimp!!!

First time here as I write this review and it is AMAZING. The service is phenomenal. So my best friend and I wanted to sit outside until it started to rain, they happily moved us to any table available inside that we preferred. The cocktails (the mojitos) are delicious and a perfect starter before the starting food which were all DELISH. Highly and happily recommend this place to everyone looking for a cool and calm environment to eat, with extra delicious food.

Highly recommended !…read more I'm only speaking on the Wing! You want crispy wings? Got it The selection is good Wednesday is dollar wings. You'll have several wings to pick all amazing My spot for wings

Here's a Father's Day review:…read more They were kind enough to seat us, but they have really odd hours, especially for Father's Day -- arguably the BIGGEST day of the year for BBQ. We arrived at 3:50 p.m., and they told us that they were closing in 10 minutes. Yikes. A family that arrived after us was turned away. I could see the deep disappointment in their eyes. I can only guess that BEAST doesn't want the business. Again, this was during the afternoon on one of the busiest BBQ days of the year. I.E. This wasn't some slow, late, and empty night. It was a sunny afternoon, and Fishkill's Main Street was hopping and vibrant. The staff did allow us to eat our meal, though, and didn't kick us out, but they were itching to close up shop. I guess they all have better things to be doing. (?) The food was, well, "okay" but overly pricey. The smoked wings are good here. I'll give them that. I would only get those if I ever came again (though the blue cheese dressing was weak). The other food (brisket, sausage, and mac n' cheese) was not poor, but it was also not memorable. Maybe a "C" grade all around? It's a neat spot for drinks (good spirits selection) and wings if you're in the neighborhood and they're open. But double-check their hours before heading out.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and the place was packed. I had plenty of room to sit at the bar and…read morewas attended due pretty quickly. Highly recommend getting the bucket of beers that you get five for $20 and grab something off the menu while you're sitting there. Generally, I grab a couple of appetizers to share between for today. We thought we'd go for the platter and sample a little bit of each, but it turns out it's good enough for one person and not much of a sharing plate so we ordered a tray each. Highly recommend if you want to try a little bit of everything Plus two side dishes.

Yelps rating scale: 1 star: Not good…read more 2 stars: Could've been better 3 stars: OK 4 Stars: Good 5 Stars: Great A Taste of North Carolina in the City: High Smoke, Mixed Hospitality If you are looking for authentic barbecue with roots straight out of North Carolina, reportedly run by three brothers from the state, though we didn't spot them during our visit, this spot has the craft down, and it is definitely one of the better BBQ places I have been in NY. Still, it misses a few foundational beats when it comes to true Southern hospitality and comfort. Atmosphere & First Impressions From the outside, you might easily mistake the restaurant for being closed. The windows make it tough to see in, and on a rainy day with the outdoor seating empty, it feels a bit hidden away. You are greeted by a wonderfully comfortable waiting area featuring plush sofas and a seating bench. I also really appreciated seeing such a diverse crowd of customers dining here, which is especially refreshing to see for this area. Be warned before you walk through the door: bring a sweater. They do not skimp on the air conditioning; they blast it! On the positive side, the bathrooms are immaculate while keeping that traditional, classic BBQ joint feel. Seating & Service When we arrived, I requested a quieter area due to sensory sensitivities. We waited a bit and were ultimately seated right next to the noisy bar. It looked like there was a cozy little nook past the fireplace that would have been ideal, but it had a laptop sitting on it. Even for a Sunday supper, keeping areas like that closed off when a guest needs a quieter space felt like a missed opportunity. Our waitress was working double duty as a bartender, so she was straight to business. She was efficient enough to give us what we needed, but lacking that warm, conversational touch. At the end of the meal, we weren't thanked for coming in but told to drive safely. We were accidentally overcharged for a fountain soda we never ordered. While the waitress corrected it when pointed out, there was an absolute lack of an apology. Taking responsibility is part of the package. The Meal: Highs and Lows The Cornbread: Starting off, the meal kicks off with complimentary cornbread, but it comes with a couple of caveats. Depending on how you were raised, cornbread camps are deeply divided on sweetness. This version is very sweet, crumbly, and honey forward. It is almost tasting like a boxed Jiffy honey mix with some extras. Unfortunately, it was cold and served with ice cold, solid butter that wouldn't spread. If you want more, it's $2 a piece, a detail they really ought to mention upfront rather than leaving it as a surprise. It is nice that they give it complimentary but they are banking on you consuming it and when you get your BBQ you want more but have to pay. It would be nice to be upfront about this. The Meats: The barbecue itself delivers. The meat is smoked nicely. We sampled the pulled pork, brisket, chicken, and sausage, paired with table-side salt, pepper, and just one single type of BBQ sauce available on the table. The Sides & Fixins: The baked beans were good, but the sides could have been much hotter. The collard greens had a noticeable crunch from the stems and consisted strictly of greens without any pieces of pork or turkey mixed in. I liked that it was not too salty for my liking. As for the mac and cheese, it lacked that signature baked cheese crust on top as seen in photos online. Visiting around 5:30pm on a Sunday evening left us wondering if we caught the tail end of things or were served leftover portions. Tableware & Details The tableware leaves room for improvement. Aside from the metal meat trays, everything is served on melamine (plastic) plates rather than real ceramic and you are each given a cloth napkin. Furthermore, guests are only given butter knives, and the cutlery could definitely be elevated to better enjoy the experience - especially to ensure proper access to napkins for a messy barbecue meal. Drinks & Hospitality The Sweet Tea: The sweet tea is sweet and good. However, you are not offered a refill here. For a Southern style spot, not offering a complimentary or even low cost refill on sweet tea felt neglectful and impolite. It's a small touch of hospitality that goes a long way. With roots that spread throughout the south, I have not experienced this even consuming BBQ at home in NY. Other Drinks: Cocktails run around $16 a person (which made neighboring tables wince a bit at $32 for two drinks), but I thoroughly enjoyed a cold Shiner beer straight from Texas. My beer was $12 tall boy and COLD. Ultimately, despite a few missteps with the sides and service, they have the smoking technique down well. True Southern hospitality is about making folks feel welcome, warm, and genuinely cared for from the moment they step in to the moment they leave, and bringing more of that heart to the dining room would elevate this place immensely.
