Overall a very enjoyable experience. I had booked reservations for my bf birthday here…read more They never recognized the birthday on the reservation but he's not much for attention like that so I'll let it slide. Waitress was very nice and attentive without being annoying. The bread was warm and soft and the whipped butter was to die for. The Filet Crostini was so so good but we will the crostini was crispier as it got a little soggy from the juices. We really enjoyed our meals! The drinks were just okay. The Blueberry Smash was disappointing. Maybe add some missed blueberries if you're calling it a blueberry smash? The decor has a modern rustic vibe and we were sat in the upstairs. We'll definitely be back in the future as there was some much on the menu we wanted to try!

We started with Drinks. I had the Martini Special for the 4th of July and my husband had a Apple Spritzer made with Champagne. We went out to dinner today for my birthday. We started with the crispy brussel sprouts appetizer. It is sooo good. We had the Pan Seared Chicken which came with Fresh sautéed Green Beans and Polenta. The polenta was served in a square. I liked it that way and it made it easy to dunk in the Mushroom Gravy that came with the Chicken. My Mom had the Pan Seated Chicken too but they accommodated her by making a separate gravy minus the butter and hers was served with Salad & French Fries. We also had the Steak Tacos and a Watermelon Salad which was also delicious. We ended with dessert which was a Rubard Lemon tart and Black Raspberry Ice Cream wth whipped cream and a cherry. We totally enjoyed ourselves. My Moms have been coming to this restaurant for years. They also have a outdoor area behind the main restaurant called The Hill whete they have live music. The Restaurant is very clean, there is stonework throught out. It has a very warm relaxing vibe to it. As walk through the doors you are Always Welcomed with a Smile. Thank you for a very enjoyable dinner

Food was decent but the prices are wild. We are visiting July 3rd and it is incredibly hot in the…read morerestaurant. It has to be like 70-80 degrees in here. We could barely eat the food it was so hot... there was also no air flow and everyone at our table could barely breathe it felt like, hence why it was hard to enjoy anything. I get that there is a heatwave, but we called around to many restaurants who closed down due to the heat so we felt like this was a safe bet. Took around 45 mins to get the food as well. Staff was sweet, but we lost our waitress halfway through which was aggravating. Our food came out and we asked for more drinks (soft drinks) and condiments and she never came back until we hunted her down for the check. Don't think we will be coming back.

Had a pretty good experience at The Grange. It's a very small farm to table restaurant a few miles…read moreoutside of the main town of Warwick. 6 tables the night we went so definitely make reservations. The prix fixe they offer on weekends is appetizer, entree and dessert for $69. Outstanding, attentive service. The best dish was the ny strip steak. I would recommend a few things fo graduate to 5 stars: 1. The butternut squash soup was too much cream not enough butternut squash. It also didn't need the potato fritter - pumpkin seeds work better. 2. While the 'bread' tasted good, it was essentially a garlic knot. I'd vote for something more traditional. 3. The beer choices were from a local brewery but they weren't great tasting. There are so many other good breweries nearby i would try some others.

Any old-timers out there remember when this was The Nutley Pub? (As one Yelper wrote, "Not the…read moreclassiest bar but..." - which perfectly summed up the last place.) Now going strong for well over a decade (?!) - Cowan's is classy and cool and leans into its strengths. Easily the hippest and most-happening spot in Nutley (and the surrounding towns) for the 'mature crowd' that's probably more interested in mash and hops and wort than getting hammered and making bad decisions at last call. The (ever rotating) beers on tap are stellar. The selection of bottles (of the harder stuff) on the picturesque back bar are eye-catching (even if I never heard of half of them). (After a few visits I still haven't tried the food. One of these days I'll get around to that, I promise.) Recommended, for sure.

The French onion dumplings were actually the best thing I had... crispy on the outside, cheesy, and full of flavor. Everything else missed the mark. The fish tacos were huge but the swordfish was under-seasoned, the mushroom soup had an overpowering acidic note, and while my date liked his rigatoni bolognese, I wasn't impressed by much else. It's on the pricier side, and it was completely empty when we were there, which made the vibe feel a little flat. I might come back just for those dumplings and a drink, but I wouldn't rush for a full dinner here.

Their pizzas come out on planks and look like flatbreads. I had trouble deciding between the Jamaican and Birria but I ended up with the Birria. It was good but I kinda wish I went with Jamaican. Birria had a ton of cheese covering the beef and I wanted more beef on it. But the other pizza the other 3 got were pretty good, especially the Bangkok. I would return for their beef selection and to try the Jamaican pizza.

Had a nice late lunch here on our recent trip. (Note that they are often not open at dinner time.)…read morewe were told that the food and service were good and that they had a few unusual local ingredients incorporated into their menu. For this reason, I decided to go with an Arnold Bennet skillet that included smoked trout. If you at all like the thought of lox and eggs, then you definitely need to try this one. It also had Parmesan, chives, and crème fraiche mixed in. The taste of this combination on a piece of toast was delicious! And something I would happily enjoy again and at reasonable prices. Plus, it was enough food that I finished it for breakfast the next morning. The seating area looks and feels like a typical NY diner. Our waitress was quick and efficient and the coffee was good and fresh. Especially with the limited number of dining locations in the Catskills area, Phoenicia diner is definitely worth a stop.

My family did an excursion with Rail Explorers just a little ways up the street and we needed a…read moreplace to refuel before our next stop. I heard good things about the diner and its popularity - probably due to the convenient location and it seemed to be one of the few eateries (and largest one) nearby. We got there at almost 2 pm on a Friday and they still had a waitlist... 30 minutes they said. They have a large parking lot; the front fills up fast but I do believe I caught a glimpse of the back. She said we could also order from the food truck outside by the patio seating. The only difference would be there's no table service there. I ended up trying that route since we have younger kids and we told them to take our name off the list. There was a line by the food truck too but we eventually got there. There was only one person taking orders (and despite the line, he was patient with all of my questions. They seem knowledgeable about ingredients. Having said that, my youngest has food allergies and the only thing he could have is the cheesy grits. Good thing we brought him his own food. Also not the person taking orders also brings in the bucket of dirty dishes and restocks, so when he's doing that, no one is taking orders. We're allium-free vegetarians and ordered: BUTTERMILK PANCAKES: This came with 5 4-inch pancakes, a decent amount of fresh blueberries and strawberries, two butters, and a small container of syrup. Not bad at all! They weren't the fluffiest but I enjoyed the slightly crisp outside. The bees also enjoyed the syrup that remained in the cup so I entertained myself by watching them. On that note: if you have a bee sting allergy, beware if you're outside and order something sweet. Because the outside tables aren't serviced, you may need to wipe them down. AVOCADO TOAST: sliced avocado on a thick slice of sourdough and pea shoots with a medium hard boiled egg. It comes with pesto but we asked to have it taken out. There's no other spread on it but still tasted good. Plus a side of Phoenicia potatoes, which are deep fried and salted. A pretty good savory option! CHEESE GRITS: standard cheese grits but I think it's just cheese and grits. The amount of cheese in your grits determines the amount of sodium in your bite. I got this for my kid with food allergies... he didn't like them but the adults finished it. MAC AND CHEESE: a generous amount in a bowl. Not sure why my kid didn't eat more than a few bites but I ate some and it tasted good. She finished it later when she was hungry enough so maybe she was just feeling peckish at the time. FRESH SQUEEZED JUICE: Got this in both orange and grapefruit. Truly fresh squeezed. It's got pulp and my grapefruit had a good amount of seeds. But they tasted good! My kids are sometimes not into fresh squeezed but the orange juice was the perfect amount of sweet and they finished it while we were waiting for food. COFFEE: coffee is coffee... but it took forever to come out. In fact, my husband had to take my phone with the receipt to the food truck again to ask about it (after I already asked other people few times) when we were almost done with our food. According to the guy, they're supposed to call out your name for coffee but it never happened. One of my kids wanted lemonade but they were out at the time. After paying, you give them your name and they'll call you when someone brings out your order from the main building. It took a while but everyone else was also waiting. There is a self service station nearby with utensils and napkins but it was half empty. If that's the case, note there's another similar station through the side doors into the diner. No table service means just that. Overall, it was a good trip? Sitting outside, you get an up close feel of nature in the form of insects inspecting your food but you also get to see the view better... including if it rains. Unless you're in the covered section, only a few tables have an umbrella. Not much service where we were but the food was good. No issues with cross contamination or getting ingredients we don't eat. All that in mind, a solid place for sustenance but they seem to be busy a lot so expect slower service. If you're in a hurry, I spotted a strip a little further down with smaller places to eat at.

There is outdoor and indoor dining but since it was blazing hot out I opted to stay inside in the cool AC. Came for brunch on a Sunday so had to try their sangria.

I had a little of each, but my favorite was the short rib hash. Great flavor and the sauce was fantastic. The steak had a perfect cook on it, and the fried chicken was crispy and flavorful as well. The server was friendly and extremely attentive. He recommended a good dessert which we ended up splitting. When in doubt go with the chocolate brownie Esther vanilla ice cream !

We didn't have a reservation, but they were still able to seat us in the dining room as long as we could wrap up before 1:30, which we appreciated. I wasn't super hungry so we shared the crispy cauliflower and lamb ribs from the appetizer menu. The crispy cauliflower was excellent -- hot, actually crispy, and not drowning in sauce which I really appreciated. The lamb ribs came over labneh (a yogurt base) and the first plate arrived with the lamb cold. I asked our waitress if that was intentional and she said only the labneh should be cold. They immediately replaced it with a fresh order and handled it really well, which I appreciated. Great service recovery and overall a really enjoyable brunch spot with a lively atmosphere.
