On our way back from meeting our new grandson for the first time in Rhinebeck ((born early this…read moremorning, 10-4-25, and everyone doing splendidly) , we stopped at one of our favorite local places for authentic tasting German food--Jaeger Haus (5084 NY-9G) in Tivoli, NY.  My one sentence review for card-carrying members of team Cliff Notes: "German beer on tap, a good selection of German wines, and authentic tasting German cuisine at really reasonable prices served up by friendly staff in an environment which just exudes Gemütlichkeit."  Everyone else is invited to continue reading, Bitte. There used to be numerous German restaurants in NYC and throughout upstate NY, but over the years those numbers have dwindled substantially to a handful.  A relatively new addition to the local Hudson Valley dining scene Jaeger Haus was started in 2018 (in a 70 year old restaurant building) and serves up seriously tasty and authentic tasting German beer, wine, and food.  We've dined there a few times over the last two years of visiting this year--the mood is relaxed, the beer is delicious, and food remind us of our travels to Germany and Austria.  The menu is tight and by that I mean it's focused on what they do well--which is traditional German food. While I wish they might add a few classic German appetizers to their menu for variety, their range of entrees provides ample choice and I am slowly making my way through those selections. Lola, one of our servers for the evening, quickly took our drink orders.  I ordered a mug of Hofbrau Original Lager (on tap) and after being given a tasting, my wife ordered a pint of Hofbrau Weissbier (which is similar to the sort of wheat beer she occasionally enjoys).  So refreshing.  A basket of house-made thinly sliced Roggenbrot (rye bread) arrived soon after our drinks with softened butter, lightly sprinkled with sea salt. We passed on the appetizers, knowing that our entrees would be substantial.  My wife ordered the Wienershcnitzel which comes with braised red cabbage and house-made spaetzle lightly sauced with a cream gravy.  These are classic sides which one can find served in restaurants from Vienna or Munich to Heidelberg or Berlin.  I ordered exactly the same thing (having tried other dishes on our prior visits), except I ordered my Wienerschnitzel "a la Holstein" (with a fried local farm egg).  The egg, especially the large yolk, provides an added level of lusciousness to the crispy veal.   Our meals arrived in due course.  They were gorgeous to look at and ate even better than they looked.  The spaetzles were soft and fluffy, the red cabbage was rich and well spiced, and the veal . . . the veal was heavenly.  Crisp on the outside, fork tender on the inside, dipping into a bit of the egg yolk (in my case); goodness what a delightful taste sensation. Just delicious.  We both earned "clean plate" certificates tonight--suitable for framing--felt satiated, but not overly full (which is where we like to end a meal).  We nursed our beers a bit longer, sharing memories from this special day, paid our bill (the bill encouraged customers to tip in cash, which we did), thanked the staff, bid the co-owner "danke schön und Wiedersehen" and we were on our way.

The decor reminds you of a German Brauhaus. We had 2pm reservations and were seated promptly. Our…read morewaitress was friendly and attentive. Our drinks came out quickly As for our appetizers they came out promptly and were delicious. As for our main meals, the portions were perfect and the flavors were great. If you're look for authentic german cuisine the Jaeger Haus is the place to go!!! I am looking forward to our next visit.

Small tasting room with wooden tables and benches, high ceilings and lots of natural light on the all white walls. 8 beers on tap. They don't do flights but will do half pours. Between my girlfriend and I, we tried most of the menu. To me the two standouts were the Schwarzbier (4.9% black lager) and the Co+lab (4.2% English ESB). Both were smooth and flavorful with a slight lingering bitterness. Low ABV makes them both quite quaffable, as they describe one of their other beers. We're from NJ where breweries are only allowed to serve the beer they brew on site and nothing else, so seeing food, wine, and cocktails on the menu was a novelty for us. We didn't try anything besides the beer, but there were some impressive offerings including a penicillin cocktail, and Knackwurst, oysters, and a variety of pizza. Overall a cool spot that we would definitely come back to if we're in the area again.

The new owner has absolutely nailed the drink specials. I highly recommend the Cucumber Cooler..... it has become my personal go-to! While dogs are not allowed inside (as with every Ulster County spot), the outdoor area is very large and dog friendly. Children can play, there are games for everyone to enjoy, and the entire space feels welcoming. It is definitely a Saugerties must!!

When we were ready to leave my husband told the bar tender "do not charge my card here is the cash for bill" Well they did charge his card and when we tried to call and clear it up no one ever got back to him. I had done a Google review of them and they sent a message back saying "we have contacted your card company and you should be seeing a refund in a few days" IT NEVER HAPPENED. So instead of just paying $82 we actually paid $164. I am glad we do not live close because we would never go back.

WHAT BROUGHT ME HERE Located in the heart of downtown Troy,…read moreEmry's Garden stood out to me as it sits on the corner of an intersection in direct view of cars passing over the bridge into the city. I decided to eat here in celebration of getting a new job in the city. THE ATMOSPHERE Arriving at 8pm on a Friday night, the whole restaurant was packed. I made reservations so we were seated immediately. There was almost no overhead lighting- instead, most of the restaurant was lit by downward-lighting lamps at each table. Each table had a jar of flowers which added nice color to the environment; it was woodsy, but not in the polished, laminated sense. It felt more natural, cabin-like, combining well with the shrubbery, paintings with big frames, natural lighting from windows, and giant mirrors. The place was small, packed, and loud with people and background music. That's my only minor complaint; it was quite loud from all the people and everything was tight together, and I think the music was good, but would be even better with some more abstract, atmospheric score. This isn't the place to watch the game; there's no TV's. But it is the place to order a fancy cocktail or a Banana Bread Old Fashioned. And there is a bar. THE SERVICE I happened to know our waitress from high school on accident and she was wonderful. We were checked up on frequently, our food arrived fast, and the conversation was enjoyable. THE FOOD I ordered the Mickey's Riggies, a Rigatoni dish in marinara sauce mixed with peppers, chicken, mushroom, and Parmesan cheese. Flawless. My friend & I also got Bavarian Pretzel sticks as our starter and man, that buffalo sauce was good. Costed $60 without tip. THE BATHROOM My design professor once said if you want to understand the personality of a restaurant, check out its bathroom. Well, that didn't really apply to this place. The men's bathroom was a little jank, unlike the great atmosphere of the restaurant itself. It wasn't disgusting, just a little jank. BONUS: THE SPEAKEASY Yes, there's a speakeasy, but you're not going to learn about it on this Yelp review. You should visit it yourself if you get the chance. Dress up.

4 Stars! Although…read moreI've been to Emry's Garden for different events, this was my first time actually coming for dinner--and what a fun night! I happened to see a notification on social media that they were doing $1 oysters and immediately jumped online and grabbed a 5:30 reservation! If you've never been to Emry's Garden, you're missing out on the cutest little space! It's absolutely beautiful, filled with greenery, quaint décor, and so many cozy touches. It has such a warm, inviting feeling the minute you walk in. They also had live music that night , so the patio was definitely bumping! We were seated right away and our drink order was taken quickly. We started with a dozen oysters and the Ahi tuna appetizer. The tuna was very similar to an ahi tuna nacho--and WOW! Absolutely delicious and something I will 100% be ordering again! We were a little disappointed that they didn't have mignonette for the oysters, but honestly, the oysters were still completely delicious! By the time we were ready to order another dozen, we were told they were sold out. But honestly, I wasn't surprised--the restaurant was packed and it seemed like every table was enjoying those $1 oysters! Our server was very sweet , although the service was a little slow. I'm guessing that had a lot to do with how busy the restaurant was that evening. Oyster lovers, take my advice: Order more than a dozen right away! We'll definitely be back, and next time we'll either come a little earlier or make sure we order enough oysters to satisfy the craving! Overall, such a fun evening in a beautiful setting. I'm hoping they continue the $1 oyster nights because we will absolutely be back! Emry's Garden, you've got yourself some repeat customers!

Brussel sprouts are great appetizer. Crispy, not bitter as it is drizzled with balsamic vinegar. My husband had Reuben sandwich. It's good but greasy. You order the food and drink at the bar area. You are given a buzzer that you put on the table. The waiter will come to deliver the food. There's misunderstanding about our salad order. We ordered regular salad but were given a side dish size.

When I went to the brewery there were cans but they said all had been bought days before. Poor experience to visit site in am and have zero available for sale and nothing at brewery. I know they are popular but this never happens at even popular high end breweries ive visited. Also...brewery open til 7 on Sunday. 605 arrival. After waiting a while for what felt like very disinterested workers to come assist me they told me they close the kitchen an hour before 7 so no food. Which feels like a missed opportunity given the nfl football games were on and many people wanted food and were turned away.

BREWERY WITH FOOD: Very chill scene. Family friendly and doggie friendly. All were well behaved…read more Spacious place with plenty of outdoor seating. Indoor seating was adequate and well utilized on a chilly October day. Busy on a Sunday afternoon. Parking lot is large and adequate. Bathroom was clean. Service was good and surprisingly fast. Staff were all quite nice. You order at the counter and they bring the food and drinks to your table. The line to order was short. They have some interesting bar games, I'll try next time. My wife got a Brut Pick Your Own Raspberry IPA and she enjoyed it. Got food: Vegan Impossible burger was good, I was grateful for the offering, the bun could use some improvement. Wife got regular beef burger and enjoyed, same mushy bun. Brussel sprout salad was good and healthy. We would not order the pretzel bites again, looked like sliced up bagels with goop on top. Fries, large size is very large, appropriate for more than 2 people. Corn fritters were enjoyable. This is a brewery more than a restaurant. Brewery offering is large. Food is limited because it is coming from a food truck. Still, they keep things moving fast. Vegan choices are limited, but I appreciate their awareness. This place would be great if they could elevate their food scene. They have a Trivia night, every 2 weeks and we will come back for that. Helpful?
