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.

This diner definitely gets packed, but thankfully, the wait usually isn't too long!…read more The milkshakes were a little disappointing--they mostly tasted like melted ice cream rather than an actual milkshake. The cinnamon roll was the same one I had back in March, but unfortunately, the texture wasn't as soft this time. It was noticeably harder, although it was still generously covered in frosting like before. The scrambled eggs were soft and cooked well, but the biscuits and gravy were pretty heavy. The potatoes, however, were amazing! They were nice and crispy, which I really enjoyed. My daughter really enjoyed her meal. She ordered the French toast, sausage, bacon, pancakes, and eggs, and she was very happy with everything. Overall, the food was a mixed experience for me, but there were definitely some highlights--especially those crispy potatoes!

The revueltas is bean, pork mixed: recommend that one. We did 2 of those and 1 spinach and it was perfect. We also got huevos y pancakes. The pancakes for some reason I feel like they make it similar to the papusas cuz it was like thinly sliced. Ain't nothing by wrong with that - just noticing. I liked it thin cuz it was filling enough to get our sweet kick. Service was on point. They got a small bar which was cool. Inside there is a few seating and you could probably bring a stroller but honestly just bring the car seat and put it in one of the chairs. Once I saw papusas on the menu compared to the typical benedict bs at other restaurants with the flower and string light, and cursive chalk board writing menus, I was like babe we gotta go here for breakfast lmao. Hella random but Google said this spot was busier than usual and there was like 2 tables seated when we got there.

But somewhere in the last few months, the kitchen's lost its touch. Two weeks ago my pasta came out looking rich and promising, but the cheese had clearly been melted ages before- cold, congealed and sad by the time it hit the table. I had to send it back just to get it warmed. Then came their famous chocolate ganache balls we love with strawberry coulis. Except now, the scoops are deformed with zero coulis and replaced with caramel instead. Why change something that worked so well? Hubs and I thought maybe it was just an off night. Came back Halloween weekend with my daughter, hoping for some sort of redemption. Nope. Same story. Plus the Vegetarian hand pies my kid and I ordered were cold. The only thing still holding this place up is the nice menu selections that only reads well on paper and for sure, their cocktails: strong and creative.-

Just make sure to connect to the Wi-Fi when you arrive because there is absolutely no cell service! The bread and butter were divine! The butter could have been a little warmer, but the bread itself was fluffy, light, and packed with salty, garlicky flavor. I could have easily kept eating it! The gnocchi was just alright and probably wouldn't be something I'd order again. It wasn't very firm and tended to stick together with the other pieces. The steak, on the other hand, was incredible! It was tender, juicy, and cooked beautifully. The crispy vegetables paired really well with the steak and added a nice texture to the dish. We ended up ordering more bread, and I loved it so much that I took some home to enjoy for breakfast the next morning! Overall, a beautiful spot with a romantic ambiance and some standout dishes.

We were tucked away in an indoor/outdoor area with gorgeous orange comfy chairs. We did not come in with a reservation. Again this place was a stumbled upon gem. We looked online for a nice place to go for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. He loves moose and we love farm to table food. The server helped us decide what to get for drinks, both delicious. The food.....holy cow. Heavenly. Our two meals tasted so vastly different so it was great that we were each able to sample the other's and they were both SO tasty. We asked our server for a special dessert for his birthday, she asked if we liked bananas and we enthusiastically said yes. Next thing we know, this decadent warm banana and caramel creation is coming towards us with a giant sparkler. This was probably hands down....one of the best desserts I have ever had in my life. I would make the trip back up here solely for that! Should we ever find ourselves back up in the Catskills, this will ABSOLUTELY be on our list of places to revisit.

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!

The food was average. No complaints. My Waldorf salad was very plentiful. I took the remaining portion home. Customer Service was pretty good. The luncheonette has plenty of parking.
