Delicious shakshuka!!
Nina R.

Announcing the opening of From The Ground Up Cafe in Highland, NY!! Located in the heart of Vineyard Commons, Liana, James, and their wonderful team are serving breakfast and lunch Tuesday though Sunday, offering a menu that is sure to please all palates! When I first looked at the menu, I said, "oooh, fried chicken and waffles! I'll have that!" (I've never had it before.) BUT then I saw Shakshuka and my choice was sealed. Served in a hot cast iron pan, this wonderful stew of tomatoes, eggs, spices, and chick peas came topped with perfectly-sauteed kale--all the things I love in one dish with sourdough toast points to get every bit of goodness. My fellow diners ordered the fried chicken and waffles, and were very satisfied. No chicken fingers at this cafe--these were full chicken breasts fried to order. Chef Liana's maple-dijon sauce was a big hit--the combination created a wonderful flavor surprise that was well-balanced and paired well. My other daughter chose the Chipotle Chicken Panini, with chicken, tomato, fresh mozzarella and topped with watercress and served with incredibly crunchy shoestring fries, salted to perfection. I had a chance to step into the kitchen and meet the team, put faces to the names I've been hearing for a while. What an exciting vibe back there, which carried out into the dining room with the friendly and attentive servers. So if you're in or near Highland, head on over to From The Ground Up Cafe for breakfast or brunch--you won't be sorry!! (And I'm not just saying that because the Chef is my daughter!)

I'm electing From the ground up food truck and catering the best in the Hudson Valley. everyday you can select only the freshest and delicious meals from entrees to deserts. Liana and James are CIA grads who love serving the community. look for the big red food truck. you won't be disappointed E

The restaurant offers a balanced experience. The food was good, though not very memorable. Service was professional

I expected more. Just average in all areas. It's not a restaurant I'd go back to. Not much parking.

Had this bookmarked for our trip because of all of the rave reviews. We stopped in for dinner…read moreSaturday March 21 and there was barely anyone requiring service. After we walked in one of the waitresses informed us that we can sit wherever we want. I instantly felt like I was inconveniencing her with my presence by the way she said it. Didn't take it personal just yet. What appeared to be the hostess came over a few minutes after we sat down and handed us menus that were very dirty. I looked at my husband and said I am ready to walk out of this place bc I am starving and it looks like they are too short staffed right now which is understandably out of a businesses control sometimes. But wait, instead of the waitress coming to our table to bring water or ask us if we would like a drink, she went to another table with a man and a child that she obviously knew well, and started eating their french fries and talking. That's when we decided to leave and spend our money elsewhere. So unprofessional. That couldn't wait? I hate to leave a review like this, but if I was the owner of this business, I would not want someone like that working for me, representing what seems to be a great place.

We love it here. I have to say the bike ride over the Hudson and landing here is half the appeal…read more The food offerings are pretty good and come in great big portions. They have a short tap list on a chalk board over the bar area but a massive bottle and can list. Truly a beer enthusiast paradise. Prices vary but pretty much run $6-$9 per beer. Outdoor, Indoor and bar seating available, and the option to seat yourself. The vibes are perfectly set, cozy interior and chilled out tunes. Servers are fast and always kind. Definitely my new go to. Signed, The Happy Hour Huntress
