    Dinner
    Paul W.

    I had a great lobster roll in a town where you can't see the ocean. Great, not good. It may have been the best I ever had. I'm out driving yesterday afternoon with my beautiful wife look at the leaves turn color on Platts Cove Road. It's a seasonal road for a very good reason: it winds like an alarm clock. Our route takes us past the lake and my wife wants some photos. The chef Tim was outside so I started speaking with him. Place was owned by the man who owns the Grey Lady in Montauk on Long Island. He told me what was on the menu. I decided to try dinner there that night. Good choice. The bride had the fried shrimp: batter was light and crispy. Cocktail sauce was fresh and homemade. Yum. I had a massive lobster roll. I mean the roll was the usual size, but there was a whole claw of juicy delicious lobster with drawn butter sitting on that bun. You can't usually get decent seafood in the Catskills. But you can here. And, hell: it's next to a pretty lake and has outdoor seating. Highest recommendation.

    I came all the way from Chicago for the fried whiting and it was worth it! Great atmosphere.

    Amazing food. Lobster and crab rolls are legit. Full bar with a rotating local beer selection. Can't recommend enough.

    The small $39 lobster roll is a great value - not.

    I'm not sure where this place went, and I'm praying it opens back up. Tied with Selena's for best grilled cheese on the mountain top.

    The most interesting things about this place are the cups and the decor. Drinks are weak and the $4…read morevegan chocolate chip cookie was small, burnt, and so bad I threw it out after one small bite. I was super excited when I realized most of this place is vegan, but was disappointed by flavor. The mocha was okay but lacked significant flavor and the vanilla bean latte must have had actual beans used because it was also lacking flavor but had a mysterious crunch. It's a cute place, though, and maybe other items taste better....

    Vegetarians rejoice!…read more Where do I start? How about with the best damn sandwich I've had in years. This place was recommended to us, as my wife and I are vegetarians. I ordered the Fontina Panino (vegan sausage, fontina cheese, arugula and fennel mustard on ciabatta) and a cortado to drink. We take out seat in the very cool back room, and only after 5 or so minutes the drink and food arrives. Now I am a complete foodie, really tough on everything I eat, but after one bite I was in love. To the point where I asked Lauren, the owner, what mustard they were using, and then ordered a panini press when I got home hoping to recreate the magic. Perfectly chewy bread, just the right balance of sweet and savory, and that mustard. Truly amazing. My wife ordered the avocado toast which she said was perfection. I wish I could bundle this place up and ship it to New Haven because I'd be eating one of those sandwiches every week. As for everything else: The service was great. The atmosphere laid back and funky. Everything was reasonable priced. LOVE LOVE LOVE Cafe Joust!
