Went here for dinner tonight and it was AMAZING . The food was bomb and the staff was so nice. The atmosphere was beautiful too it looked like authentic Italy. The art was beautiful. 10/10 recommend read more

Took a day trip on a Saturday to Cold Spring and ate here for lunch. We were disappointed we didn't come on Sunday for the $20 champagne brunch but we were still very happy with our lunch. We were seated up front in the big open windows which was beautiful and fun for people watching. The sautéed exotic mushroom in EVOO with prosciutto appetizer was wonderful. I had the rigatoni with sausage in a tomato cream sauce and loved every bite. The service was exceptional. We enjoyed the white wine that was local from the Benmarl Vinyard. Deducting one star because they charge Manhattan prices BUT the quality was definitely there so can't complain too much. The Sunday brunch sounds like it would be both delicious and far more economical. read more

I ate at Cathryn's Tuscan Grill last night and the penne with shrimp, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and garlic was the most delicious meal I have had in a long time. It was cooked perfectly, the right size portion, and so full of incredible flavor. It was followed by a piece of chocolate mousse cake which was heavenly. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor dining. We sat inside and the tables were spaced appropriately for social distancing. The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. The whole dining experience was truly fabulous and I can't wait to go back! read more

My boyfriend and I consider this to be "our spot." We love coming here when we're both off for dinner and really enjoy ourselves. Food is always delicious but I feel that sometimes it can be a little bit inconsistent. We don't mind though; we will continue to return for beautiful meals, intimate ambience, and our favorite wine (Cathryn's seems to be the only place to get it!). See you soon! Oh - try the Linguine nere al limone (squid ink pasta with shrimp in a lemon cream sauce)...amazing guilty guilty pleasure. read more

Had a great meal and bottle of wine. Our waiter, Rafael was attentive and professional. The portions were perfect. There is something to be said about quality over quantity. Everything we ordered was delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

Cathryn's is a neighborhood gem and my family's favorite restaurant in the area. We were just there two weeks ago but planning to come back for Mother's Day! The service is always friendly and attentive and the food is very high quality. This is one of the nicer options in the lower Hudson Valley and still reasonably priced, with a seasonal menu that takes advantage of the wide range of local produce and sourcing options. Cathryn's is perfect for an intimate dinner, special occasion, or a nice family night out (not a jeans and a t-shirt spot!) Would recommend this to anyone visiting Cold Spring and looking for a more upscale, and highly memorable, meal. read more

Nothing bad to say about this place. The wait staff is great the area very scenic the restaurant itself is decorated nicely. If you have a chance and the weather is nice it's an absolute must to sit and dine in the garden. I very strongly recommend eating the rigatoni buttera read more

First time in this wonderful, quaint town and walked into Catherines for lunch. Hard to find really fresh and not overly battered fish n chips dish. It was a special and the BEST tasting we ever had and it was their first time serving it too. My wife loved it. I had the filet of salmon Blt which was fresh and very healthy tasting. Highly recommend this restaurant and Nicole our waitress, was a sweetheart!! We'll be back!! read more

This is a legitimate review because the food and service was wonderful. It's also a thank you to whomever paid our check because you must have seen my beloved propose to me last night. Your sweetness means more to us than we didn't, couldn't share with you. What can I tell you...? The ring has stones from my grandparents' wedding rings. My grandfather passed away six months ago after quietly and privately caring for my grandmother with ALS. We lost her two years ago. It has been a hard, painful week for families and community, in our country and all of humanity. We spent our dinner talking about how the abundance of love we're being gifted with feels like a call to action...we must pay it forward. I looked at the ring on my finger and promised to love and serve my partner, and to rededicate myself to serving humankind, and the communities to whom I've dedicated many hours of volunteering over twenty years...and in doing so have been rescued from the darkest, most painful chapters of my life. Life is delicate. Love grows from being shared, not hoarded. Our cup is running over, and your quiet, joyful gift felt like a hand on our back, a voice saying "yes, enjoy this...here is another gift...and another gift...in love, the thing is in the doing." We're both private people, to be honest. But I hope you read this, so you know that we see you as an agent of a higher love. You sent a message to us, and we thank you. "I can see by your eyes you're a good man, and the sparkle of the ring on your hand.... Won't you break bread and have some wine?" -Donovan read more

Ordered the calamari sauté, spinach ravioli (special) and risotto with artichoke (special). Food was superb! I'd come back here just for these! The atmosphere is nice, could use a little something extra (IMO). I like the couch seating area a lot. Service was great and non intrusive. I would have liked our server to introduce herself and ask if we wanted something to drink instead of water, a common practice which I'm not sure why it was never asked. I asked about wines and ordered a Pinot noir, which was a bit past its prime but not too far. I will return for the food, just not the wine. Maybe I'll try a dessert next time. read more

Came in today with our 2 year old. They had plenty of children in the restaurant but appeared to be completely unfriendly to kids. I'm not sure if it was the owner but she kept glaring at our table and actually reprimanded our waiter (who was completely lovely and the ONLY person who was nice to us with our two year old, who, by the way was completely undisruptive). Not sure what type of place you think you are, but you are literally ON a Main Street that people walk up and down all day. Not sure why you wouldn't be welcoming to children. However, I will say the food was great. But I'd rather take my business somewhere else for the attitude. read more

Food was either flavorless or overwhelmingly seasoned. Avoid peppercorn pasta dish. Mine was either made poorly or microwaved. Everything on the menu was definitely overpriced for what we were served. Service wasn't that great. Wouldn't come again. read more

Always delivers with great food, cocktails and service. We have never had a bad recommendation and they accommodate us well when our two year old is with us. They also sometimes run out of some menu items, which tells me they keep their ingredients fresh, don't hold onto food too long, and don't serve old or expiring food. Absolute favorite restaurant within 15 miles. read more

I really don't do Italian but this place is off the hook I highly recommend this establishment.

Food was ok and overpriced for what is was. The staff was very friendly and the patio - lovely!

Norman Bates and Mother? The tone was set when I asked our waiter which wine by the glass was most like a Napa Chardonnay and he said with an irritated tone, "None of them are; they're Chilean," folded his arms, pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows, and said nothing more, offering no suggestions. After an uncomfortable minute or two, he said, "I can give you a taste," and off he went. Cathryn -- yes, the owner -- walked by while he was gone and I said, "Our waiter didn't seem to want to offer up any information about your wine selections." She said, "Oh, he always defers to me when I'm here." Having dined at Cathryn's the week prior and receiving great service from a woman whose name I wish I could remember, I had a tasty hangar steak stuffed with gorgonzola. I asked our waiter, the 'Tude Dude,' if it was available again. He said it wasn't, but that he'd ask the chef if he could make it: "They like to be asked first." Fair enough. And off he went. He came back, pronounced with a decidedly haughty air, that the dish was available. So I ordered it, requesting that it be prepared medium rare. This time my steak was tough, dry, tasteless, and overcooked. When Mr. 'Tude sashayed by and asked how it was, I told him. He stepped back, did the arm-folding and lip-pursing thing again, and said, "Do you want me to take it back?" I was a little apologetic -- I don't like to waste food -- to which he responded, "DO. YOU. WANT. ME. TO. TAKE. IT. BACK?" I said "Yes, please." While waiting for round two, we observed our waiter at other tables exhibiting the same perturbed body language: left arm over his chest, right elbow folded on top, right fist closed except for his index finger raised alongside his pursed lips. The second order came back browned on the outside and dripping blood on the inside (there's a difference between rare and raw). At that point, I called Mr. 'Tude back over and told him that I was just going to get the dish wrapped to go, figuring I could cook it myself at home. He was straight-up nasty to me, at which point I said, "You know, I'm not sure what's with your attitude, but you've been rude from the moment we first spoke with you." To which he replied, "I'm just going to get Cathryn. This is above my pay." And off he stormed to tell Mommy. Cathryn shows up. "I hear there's a problem here?" I told her about the dish, but said that it was really the waiter's nasty attitude that bothered me the most. Her response? "You must have gotten off on the wrong foot or something because he's one of my best staff; he's been with me for ten years." I said something like, "Well, he's been straight-up-rude to us the entire time." To which she replied, with an insincere tone, a hostile look, and a hands-in-prayer pose plus a faux genuflecting motion, "I pray we can do better next time," and walked off. Our bill shows up, delivered by a different wait-staffer, who said, "A glass of wine is on the house." My adult nephew, a public relations and marketing expert, said to me, "Wow. I can't believe that the owner would be so indifferent to a customer's experience as to send out someone else, rather than saying, 'What can I do to make your experience better and to make sure you give us another try?' That bothers me more than the quality of the food." I'll second that. But I won't give Cathryn's a second try. That's the last time I'll pay $80 to be abused; and it would have been more, had they not comped a glass of wine - and had I left a tip, which I did not (a first). My only explanation/hypothesis is that our waiter was Norman Bates and Cathryn is his Mommie Dearest (or he's a relative of some sort); why else would she be so defensively protective of his offensive behavior? That said, my friend owns a landmark restaurant in New York that her adult daughter manages in an exemplary way and her young adult son bus-person works harder than any other staff; she says that she expects more of her family members when it comes to upholding her restaurant's reputation. She held my son to that standard, too, when he bussed for her for two summers during college break. The lesson is that leadership, good or bad, comes from the top down. And I'm not down with Cathryn's. read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon during restaurant week and wow, what a great dining experience. Typically most restaurants have a special menu that is included in the fixed price. Well not here, what a pleasure to pick practically everything on their regular menu and have it available for the fixed price, except for possibly 2 items that had an upcharge I cannot ever say I have seen a selection like this. I saw a picture of the Papedelle pasta with coniglio in the local paper and I just knew that's what I had to have. WOW, it was fantastic! All the appetizers were execellent as well as the dessert. Also the wine list was amazing. Our party of 6 were all amazed by the service and attention of the wait staff as well as the food that made for an unforgettable dining experience. We will be back, bravo to Cathyrns! read more

I don't normally write Yelp reviews because I'm pretty easy going, but my experience today was absolutely horrible that I felt it was a duty to my fellow diners to let them know what kind of a "shitshow" this place really is... a term our lovely waiter also felt compelled to throw out there. The fact that this place calls themselves a fine dining establishment is equivalent to Donald Trump calling himself president. It's simply not fit for that title. First off, the food was so mediocre that I couldn't tell if I had covid symptoms and lost my sense of taste or if the food was just incredibly bland, tasteless, and uninspiring. I ordered the penne with shrimp, tomato and zucchini and for $24, I got exactly three shrimp, two tomatoes and a few slivers of zucchini on top of some bland penne. I'm pretty sure I've had better food at Applebee's. Later when I asked for a cappuccino to finish off my meal, the waitress literally could not be bothered to make me one because she was "too busy". She didn't even bother to offer me drip coffee or anything, she literally just said "No, I just can't make you one." Fine dining service, right? The owner is just as rude and unprofessional and it is very evident that the staff hates working for her because they mentioned they couldn't leave the drinks menu with us because she would yell at them for it. Listen, I get that Cold Spring gets busy at this time of year but instead of being grateful for still being in business despite the pandemic, they literally treated their clients as if they were doing us a favor. Do yourself a favor and go across the street and wait 2 hours for the French bistro on the corner. It's well worth the wait and the money more than this sorry place. read more

Way too overpriced for the quantity and quality of food. I can honestly say i've been there and don't need to go there anymore. The service was just ok, a bit slow for my taste but I guess I expected Manhattan service since they have the audacity to charge Manhattan prices for a limited menu and mediocre portions. read more

I went to Cathyrn's last Saturday for lunch.with nine people.I was not too happy with the meals.I ordered spaghetti with peppercorns and romano cheese The pasta was very dry hardly any pasta water or oil mixture was lacking in the sauce and it was cold and very small portion.My mother in law had a small pizza that looked like a piece of cardboard rather than a real pizza.Every thing was heavly salted and my salad was very oily.My sister in law had smoked salmon that was loaded with salt.The menu had very few vegetarian dishes and the choices were unheard of .Who the hell wants chicken livers to eat or Black ink squid goo on their spaghetti?The bread was very chewy, my jaw was hurting after one slice ,and it was cold bread too.Who the hell puts a table with the menu in the doorway except to trip on the way in.I went to see the kitchen and it was only10 feet by 5 feet.The three cooks ,I call the three stooges were trying to cook together and was absurd.I will Scratch this place off my list. read more

Delicious food! Great wine selection. We love coming here. Love the seafood pasta and the salad as an appetizer. Totally worth coming!!! read more

Cathryn's Tuscan Grill - Italian Near Me - Cold Spring, New York

See all

Service was outstanding. The chicken was the worst chicken I've had in my entire life - tasted like someone cooked the sole of my running shoes and added melted cheese on top. The other plates were average at best. The only reason I give them 2 stars is because the server was really nice and provided excellent service. Not many options in town, but best avoid this place. read more

My fiance and I came here the second week in December on a Saturday and the place wasn't busy at all; there was a family eating in the other room. Immediately when we walked in the atmosphere was so cozy. The service was so impressive and our waiter was fantastic - he was informative about the wine selection and his recommendations were spot on. Get the burrata! The pasta was cooked perfectly and my fiances fish was great as well. This place paid attention to detail and it was the perfect place to eat. Highly recommend Cathryn's for dinner with a family of 5, or just two! read more

Came here to consider having it as our rehearsal dinner spot since we were having our wedding in Garrison, The food was really good...can't remember what I had but it was pasta with pancetta and peas...I didn't like that the waiter only suggested fine for dinner...(do they have mixed drinks?) the waiter was "ok". I felt as though he looked at us as if we didn't belong there...like he couldn't figure out why we were there or if we were going to start trouble or something lol. Anyway the ambience is okay. Weird paintings on the wall don't give you much to look at, and quirky light fixtures...definitely a very intimate setting...to the point where I'd go there by myself. We felt as if we couldn't talk above a certain volume or laugh too hard because we'd get kicked out..whatever we still had wine coming out our noses. Was it pricey? Meh I guess...not too different from city prices. All in all would I be back? For the food? Sure. But due to the service and ambiance?.....nahhhhh!! read more

Food is ok. The staff is really weird. Back patio in the summer is sun filled and gorgeous.

My boyfriend and I drive here from Poughkeepsie whenever we get the chance. Excellent excellent food and staff

The food was quite good (although overpriced), but the service is truly inexcusably poor. There were several servers working, and the restaurant was not busy, but the service was very slow, rude, and our server was wholly unapologetic when she brought the wrong meal to my friend. I would definitely not come back to this restaurant. read more

Small portions, bad costumer service, The Smoked Salmon was far from fresh, they just opened up a package from the grocery story, put a few capers on it, and served it. This place was a waste of time and money. It's a shame such a nice antiquing town has to have a place like this in it. read more

Slooooooow service.. We were ignored for quite a while.. The food was decent overall.. Every dish needed a little more salt or flavor. Good wine list, and we were really impressed that they offer a gluten free pasta option. read more

Went for lunch, sat outside - flowers were beautiful, but server seemed distracted and not interested in working that day. Ordered the Margareta pizza, tasted like a frozen pizza from the grocery store...not a Margareta pizza with the fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and basil that is the usual. Also had the chicken Cesar salad, chicken was dried out and stringy, salad was overdressed and portion was very small. Feel that this place has gotten complacent riding on their good reputation. Won't be going back again. read more

Lovely dinner at Cathryn's last night. It is restaurant week but....when the Waiter started telling us the Weekend Specials - Game Over! We started with 5 Cheese beggars purse with pear and next Arugula, Radicchio and Endive Salad with Parmesan Reggiano. Our Main Courses were Spring Ramp Risotto and The Most Perfect cooked Monkfish with Escarole and Mashed Potatos. We shared a piece of Ricotto Cheesecake The service was great, considering restaurant week can be a challenge. read more

The food was decent (the pappardelle with rabbit meat and tartufo for was particularly good), but I'm not sure if it was worth the price. Service was a little awkward. We were seated in a corner far away from the kitchen so we felt forgotten often and had to try to wave the waiter down. One of the servers were a little awkward in demeanor, making a lot of blank eye contact read more

service is okay but the food....oh man, should be better for the price you pay. The place isnt cheap. The bread is as hard as. a rock, the salad is small and the dressing tasted like the one you can get from the grocery store. no presentation at all. will never go back again definitely. read more

Came here during Restaurant Week and it was fantastic. Great selection, great wine and portions are appropriately sized. And how many places out there require you to cut through a whimsical garden? Lovely even if it was covered in snow. read more

This place was wonderful. We came here with friends for a lunchtime double-date, and it did not disappoint. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny - he even recommended this bottle of Sancerre based on our orders that was PERFECT. There is an adorably decorated little side courtyard area that is a terrific place to sit, and my gnocchi were incredibly delicious too. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and if I ever make it back to Cold Spring, you can bet I'll make a stop at Cathryn's. read more
