Tucked away in a small strip, the retail/workshop is a cool place to stop to pick up some unique chocolate confections.

Make sure to sample all the chocolate.

My partner and I had such a lovely meal here to celebrate our anniversary. The aesthetic is…read moregorgeous but very welcoming; we went on a beautiful day so we opted to sit outside on their nice shady balcony. We chose SILVIA because the menu is vegetable forward and as a vegetarian there were several dishes I had to try. Both my omni partner and I loved the mushroom lentil pâté, stuffed artichokes, and smoked beets we had for appetizers. The pâté is rich and flavorful and the pickled veggies it's served with are so good we only wished the dish came with more of them. The artichokes were perfectly tender and are stuffed with raclette and ramp (YUM), and the lemon breadcrumbs they're topped with pair so well with the cheese, and add a lovely brightness and zing. The smoked beets were also perfectly tender with a deep rich smokey flavor, and the chimichurri they come with does a nice job to add brightness (There's a theme here of rich flavors paired with brightness to make your palette pop). For an entrée we opted to share the local mushroom & pasta rags dish. the pasta rags were cooked nicely, soft but still toothy, and the mushrooms, black garlic butter, and thyme added a rich deep flavor. I was obsessed with the amount of parmigiano reggiano the pasta was topped with -- I could've eaten plate after plate of this dish. Their cocktail menu seems to be just as well thought out as their food with some unique offerings. I tried and enjoyed both Mezcal options. Service was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive. TL;DR: beautiful space, absolutely delicious food, plenty of vegetarian options, fun cocktails, great service. Go here.

I regret not taking better photos, but at least I got a quick shot of the delightful cake. It was all absurdly good. I can't get over how fluffy the frosting is and how perfect the cookie textures are. The woman working was also really nice and, despite it being the end of the day, I didn't feel at all rushed or like she just wanted to close up. Here's how much we loved it: My husband and I went there yesterday while on a weekend trip. Today, we had to get back home fast to beat the snowstorm, and we seriously considered just risking it and driving out of our way to go back here. We didn't (safety first, etc) but we've decided to order our wedding cake from this place *and* our wedding favors. Seriously, everyone should go to this place. Everyone deserves this magic in their lives!

Spent the weekend visiting the Hudson River-eastern Catskills area and decided to visit Woodstock…read more There's no shortage of restaurants to choose from, but after driving past Pearl Moon the vibes were what we were looking for, for an early lunch. We were seated right away and had the option to choose from their brunch or lunch menu. There's something for just about everyone, including vegan options. I opted for a Spicy Luna cocktail, my partner selecting a draft beer. The cocktail was excellent with the perfect kick of spice. We opted to have Lenny B's Smoke Trout Salad, the French Onion soup and split the Smoked Duck Quesadilla. The food came out in a timely manner, made with fresh ingredients, and was very tasty. Between the food, the service and the ambiance, if we lived locally, we'd definitely come back.

I enjoyed everything I ate but I expected some sort of wow considering the reviews. Maybe my expectations were too high, but for me this lands firmly in the "good" rather than "amazing" category. If I'm comparing Hudson Valley bakeries, Mel the Bakery in Hudson absolutely blows this out of the water. Still, a solid stop in Woodstock and certainly worth trying. Just not quite worth the level of hype for me.

My bartender wasn't particularly friendly or attentive, although I'll acknowledge that vibe is subjective and maybe we simply didn't click. I ordered a mezcal margarita, which was pretty forgettable. The bigger issue was the service. I waited about 30 minutes for a salad and eventually had to ask what was happening before it appeared. I was told the kitchen was backed up, which I understand happens, but 30 minutes for a salad,with no communication along the way, is pretty wild. My second dish, a shrimp starter, was much better and honestly rescued this from being a one-star experience. There are clearly some good things coming out of the kitchen. But overall, the place had a strangely unwelcoming feel. What stood out most was a lack of hospitality: little engagement, limited attentiveness, and no real sense that anyone was particularly concerned about the experience. Maybe it was an off night, but for a restaurant at this price point, the front-of-house team could use much more focus on making guests feel welcome and looked after. The shrimp starter was good, but a very odd experience overall.

From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel so welcome, ushering us to an awesome table on their inviting patio so we could dine with our dog. The service only got better from there. Our server, Grace, was phenomenal. We were debating between small and large plates and asked for her advice on portions. Usually, servers just push you to order more, leading to a table full of wasted food. Grace did the exact opposite--she guided us perfectly and honestly advised against adding another side dish. She was 100% right on the mark. Thank you. Absolutely every single dish was a "wow"--piping hot, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor: ----Tteok Bokki ($18): I had seen this on many Korean menus and this was my first time trying Korean rice cakes, and I'm so glad I did. A wonderfully spicy, cheesy, chewy combo with melted raclette. --Crispy Wild Shrimp & Shishito ($24): Another spicy, delectable hit with a great sweet-and-savory balance. --Moo Shu Mushroom & Vegetables ($30): Delicious and fresh--the perfect mild counterpoint to the heavier, spicy dishes. --Crispy Panko Chicken Katsu ($32): We're still talking about how incredible this was. Definitely on the higher end price-wise, but given the stellar food, ambiance, and great service, well worth it. If we lived locally, Goodnight would be on our regular rotation.
