The restaurant has lots of windows which is great because it overlooks the creek. The service is quick and friendly. People weren't kidding when they said everything is made in house. The lemonade was fantastic. My brisket melt was flavorful and I like the fact it had fresh jalapeño's to give additional texture and flavor. The fries were thin and good - and the homemade ketchup was good. My mom had the chicken tenders and they are the best I ever had - I know, I know, how good could they be? Delicious. They are lightly battered, perfectly fried, juicy, and the herbs and spices come through. I'd come back to get my own order. On the way out, we ordered 6 different donuts which were so good and airy. To my surprise, the apple fritter was my favorite - slight crunch outside, good slightly chewy texture, and great flavor. None of the donuts were too sweet. I'll be back!

I first heard about Gaskins when a bartender I follow on Instagram who used to work in NYC…read moreannounced a residency here. When my partner and I travel upstate, we tend to limit our dining out to the Hudson area, but I bookmarked Gaskins just in case. Fast forward to last week's trip to Hudson, and we found ourselves wanting to venture outside of our typical haunts. Germantown happens to be very close to Hudson, so we popped over hoping to snag a table (to my knowledge, they don't take reservations). What ensued was a quintessential Hudson Valley meal: farm-to-table focused on seasonal produce, and healthy without compromising on flavor. We came here at around 8:15 on a Friday night. While it was somewhat busy, there was no issue finding a seat quickly. The space itself is warm and cozy, a little rustic, and has some tavern vibes. The service was attentive throughout, starting from the swift arrival of a bottle of tap water. It appears that the drink menu is absent online, but I can attest to a solid list of cocktails and wine. My first drink was called the Gardner (if memory serves), which was sort of like a cross between a martini and white negroni (it had gin and salers) and it was super tasty. I also tried a glass of white wine that was excellent, thanks to good direction from our server. Food-wise, everything you could possibly order here is fresh, seasonal, local, farm-to-table, colorful, flavorful, delightful. A great mix of proteins in both the appetizer and entree sections, and some sides that should not be missed. I recommend sharing everything to get the most bang for your buck. Eats, below: Heirloom tomato and peaches w/ chorizo, charred corn, basil: A Summer in a dish. Tomatoes, peaches, and corn, oh my! This salad was bright and fresh, and super tasty. Though the produce was the star, the chorizo was seriously delicious. Roasted beets and blueberries w/ radicchio, bleu cheese, buttermilk, basil: A We were between this and a cucumber salad, but this preparation looked like it would give us more variety once we decided on the tomato salad. The golden beets were divine, the radicchio added some bitterness while the buttermilk dressing was creamy but not too heavy. Beautiful combo of flavors. Striped bass w/ coconut rice, peach, corn salsa, romano beans, shishitos, basil: A- Another lovely summer dish featuring an impressive array of seasonal produce. More peaches, corn, and basil, so the flavor profile was fairly similar to the tomato salad. The fish itself was fresh, light, and cooked well. Wood roasted half chicken w/ corn on the cob, red onion, hot honey butter: A My partner tends to oppose ordering chicken at restaurants because we can easily make it at home. While part of me sees where he is coming from, I also know that there are few things more nourishing than a great roasted chicken dish. This was a prime example. The skin was perfect and the sauce was unreal. Here was corn yet again, this time on the cob.

We were seated immediately in a very cozy booth, and the server was friendly and helpful. We had the fondue, of course, with apples and veggies added on. We shared knishes, and then each had a cup of soup. Everything we tasted was delicious, exactly the kind of warming, comforting, stick to your ribs food you want after a morning hike. The one thing I wasn't wild about was that they charged for each drink refill, but the server was attentive and the fondue was so good that I can definitely forgive that.

But several awkward minutes passed and another party came inside before anyone greeted and escorted us to a table. Oddly, a runner walked by the entrance a few times but didn't acknowledge us and seemed to avoid eye contact. Prices were were a hair higher than expected, but thankfully the portions were filling. I went with the tavern steak sandwich ($22). The fries were the steak kind but not too fat and wedge-y. There was a totally reasonable amount of Muenster and steak, and I found that the sandwich didn't really need the accompanying steak sauce. The mac & cheese ($14) was a delightful appetizer made with a whopping five different cheeses! Last Chance mentions both antiques and cheese in its name so we had to investigate both. Instead of a separate shop, the antiques are all around the restaurant, and our server said some are for sale and some belong to the owner's private collection but he seems possibly open to offers. The cheese and gifts are in an area on the other side of the bar, with the cheese behind a counter. I thought the cheese collection would be larger and have more NY options, but it was still a solid selection. If you plan on purchasing any candy or other treats after your meal, just let your server know so you can take your bill over there.

I hate to do this, but the food was so disappointing, I have to warn others…read more Don't get me wrong. The service is friendly and attentive. The ambiance is really nice. When we got there on a Thursday around 2, the dining room had about 4 people there. There was also a bright outdoor seating area which looked great. Basically, this restaurant is set up to be a good experience -- except for the food. I had the falafel platter (almost $19). My husband had the gyro platter (an eye-popping $25!). My hubby shared his Greek salad and bread. A-OK so far, but then things went down hill. My falafel was mushy and flavorless. The side of babaganoush was also flavorless. The pita was cold. The side of steamed veggies was bland. No sauce, no seasonings. I felt sorry for locals who think this food is actually falafel. They need to taste REAL falafel because this was a poor imitation. The gyro plate came with plain rice and more steamed veggies. Sorry to use the word "bland" again. We got the salmon pasta to go ($34) for a friend which came with more steamed veggies. I get the feeling they steam a huge pot of veggies and just put it on every plate. The menu is pretty simple. The same things in different rearranged order. I get the feeling the "chef" is staying away from more complicated dishes. It's probably for the best, because as simple as the food is, it's still below par. I'm a Greek American. Been to Greece many times. Lived in Astoria Queens, in NYC, the center of Green Town USA. Eaten a lifetime of Greek food. And this is not it.
