    Stopped in here for a quick bite to eat after a long hike. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and welcoming Unfortunately, I forgot her name, but she was working Friday 10/11. The burger was very tasty, but the onion rings were fantastic as well. Cute little restaurant, worth a stop!

    I'll be honest.... I have driven past this place a million times and never stopped in. Not sure why, but just didn't. Don't judge me... We went to the Belleayre Mountain Fall Festival and wanted to grab a bite to eat near the mountain. It's only 10 minutes South of it and you can't miss it. Walked in and was greeted by a friendly staff with a menu up front to order near the bar. It was a perfect fall day out so we sat outside on the deck, overlooking the creek and fire pit. Nothing more upstate than taking in the fall sun on the Esopus creek, while smelling the fire pit and having a pint of beer. I had the local Pilsner with a beef brisket sandwich. The beef tasted like was straight out of Texas at a little hole in the wall bbq pit. It came on a ciabatta bread but I gotta say, it would be better on two slices of white bread or hard roll. Just my opinion. It was a healthy serving and I could even eat all of it. I did make sure not a single bite of beef went to waste. Either way, I absolutely loved the brisket and could eat a pile the size of a ten gallon hat. We also got the French soup and wings. The soup should be mandatory for everyone. It was so good and one of the best we have had in a long time. It might have been my first time but I promise you that I'll be back often to try the rest of the menu.

    Nothing

    Thank God its for sale. Hoping whoever buys this place makes it better. Good service is only directed to the regulars. If they don't know you they will not make you feel very welcome. The food is mediocre and overpriced. The top shelf margarita was weak and just wrong. Yesterdays baked potato is also wrong when served today. The vegetable surprise(beets) while not horrible was not cooked enough. The extra napkins came in handy. But again if they know you, you've got it made and im sure you get more than extra napkins. I watched them rub their friends while they ignored me. I do not recommend this place to anyone and truthfully the only place I've ever left a crappy tip. I usually leave 20 to 25% but here I left 7 dollars. That's 2 dollars for every minute of service offered. Also 7 as to say: GOOD LUCK!!!

    Baby bear (dog)

    Couldn't give this place enough stars. The dog and our waitress hold 5+ stars alone but the atmosphere, food and drinks were all fantastic as well. I would rate this place a definite "must try" restaurant if you are in the area. What's better than dogs, amazing friendly service, great food and atmosphere. I totally forgot our waitresses name but she was absolutely hands down fantastic! She skilled servicing an almost full house and full bar all by herself. And who could complain when you have a big fluffy handsome baby bear (dog) to look at.

The steak was very good, much better than I expected, and came just as I ordered, medium. I also ordered broccoli rabe because I just didn't really believe they had it. It was never brought out, and no mention was made - but it didn't show up on my bill. Left a fat tip and walked out happy. Recommend.

The atmosphere immediately invites you to stay awhile: relaxed, cozy, spotless, and effortlessly trendy without trying too hard. It's the kind of place that feels both comfortable and current. The menu offered an excellent variety, making it hard to choose, but we started with the goat cheese and mushroom flatbread appetizer paired with cocktails, and it was the perfect beginning to the evening. Flavorful, balanced, and beautifully prepared. For dinner, we sampled two outstanding entrées. The wild shrimp dish was incredibly fresh, served over a vibrant mix of garden-picked greens, avocado, watermelon radish, and a flavorful kicker dressing that tied everything together perfectly. The Faroe Island salmon was equally impressive -- perfectly cooked and topped with locally picked ramp-infused butter, served over asparagus and fingerling potatoes. Every bite tasted fresh, seasonal, and thoughtfully crafted. Overall, this was a wonderful dining experience with warm hospitality, a welcoming vibe, and food that truly delivers. We will definitely back for dinner and stay for the live music as well.

Excellent food and friendly staff. Filled with locals who all seem to know each other. My girlfriend and I spent two nights in a B&B just a block away, and we stopped in on a Saturday night. It was packed, and the only space was at the large communal table in the middle of the room. Our food took 40 minutes to come out, but the waitstaff was incredibly apologetic and offered to comp a round of drinks, and we were in no rush just enjoying the atmosphere, so no worries there. We had a flatbread with arugula and prosciutto and pasta with grilled chicken. Both were incredible. My girlfriend has spent a lot of time in Italy and has laughably high standards when it comes to pasta, and she wouldn't stop raving about how good her penne was. There was a corner filled with musical instruments, so it looks like they host live music as well, though not while we were there. Overall this is a great restaurant in a rural area that is worth driving to if needed.

My wife and I were on a business trip, turning it into a stolen weekend for just the two of us. The mountains were a breathtaking canvas of deep greens and hazy blues, but as dusk fell, we were just two travelers looking for a warm place to eat. We Yelped this place, a humble spot with a simple facade, hoping simply for a decent meal. We had no idea we were about to experience something that would become a core memory. The moment we stepped inside, the world outside ceased to exist. The ambiance was an embrace--low, warm lighting, the soft murmur of other contented diners, and a cozy intimacy that felt both grand and profoundly simple. They seated us at a small table for two, just right for our knees to touch, a silent connection point throughout the evening. Then the food came. And this is where words truly begin to fail. We started with the octopus, a dish so often ruined into rubber. What arrived was a masterpiece. It was tender, impossibly so, with a delicate char that gave way to a buttery, oceanic perfection. It was the first clue that we were in the hands of artists. Our main courses were... marvelous. That's the only word that fits, though it feels insufficient. Each component on the plate was thoughtful, seasoned with intention, and cooked with a respect for the ingredient that you can taste, deep in your bones. It was more than nourishment; it was a conversation between the chef and the soul. But the tiramisu... the tiramisu was the quiet, devastating finale that blindsided us. This was not the heavy, soggy dessert so often found. This was a European dream, layered with ethereal, coffee-kissed savoiardi and mascarpone so light it could have been a cloud. It was perfectly executed, a delicate balance of bitter cocoa, robust espresso, and sweet, airy cream. It was, without a single shred of exaggeration, to die for. We left with more than full stomachs. We left with a shared, profound happiness, a reminder that the most beautiful moments in life are often the unexpected ones, hidden away from the main roads. It wasn't just a meal; it was a reminder of why I travel with her, and how joy can be found, perfectly plated, in the most beautiful middle of nowhere.

Online, it mentioned it came with a three cheese sauce, but at the restaurant it was served with beer cheese, which I can't eat. The name of the restaurant literally has "cocktails" in it, but they were out of nearly all of their fall cocktails. That being said, we tried to redeem the experience. Our waitress was friendly and kindly let us know that the sulphur in the tap water might be irritating, so we ordered bottled. The house salad was nice and fresh, and I loved the tanginess of the lemon vinaigrette. The mac and cheese was a generous portion size. It was a bit bland and could've used a sharper cheese, but it was very creamy with a nice baked top layer. The broccoli side was tasty and well seasoned with garlic. The onion rings were very crispy and also a good portion. My husband had the New York steak and enjoyed how buttery it was. However, they initially forgot to bring him a steak knife and it was hard to flag down a waitress to get one. Overall, we left full, but our expectations were not quite met.
