    Amazing and such a beautiful gem in upstate New York. We came here for a birthday dinner and would love to come again. A beautiful warm welcoming. Restaurant is located in a hotel. Ambiance and aesthetic is candlelit romantic. Food was so delicious. It is a small menu and I believe it might change depending on the season. For appetizers we ordered ends meat city ham & herb mustard and dauphhine potatoes. Those potatoes are a must order for sure ! But let's talk about the amish golden chicken, wow it was incredible so please order this dish if on the menu! It was cooked and it sauces to its perfection. The lentils with gouda were also delicious. Cocktails are a little strong and my favorite was the Tijuana turtleneck . For dessert we ordered the Matilda sundae and chocolate mousse- they were delightful.

    Open kitchen at the end of the night. Immaculate.

    Wasn't wow-ed by the size of the menu, or the hospitality at greeting, but holy sht, things changed for the better as the meal progressed. The waitress, Teak (good luck with your surgery homegirl) turned out to be awesome. Every recommendation was perfect, I highly recommend the half deboned chicken and the lentils. Do not skip dessert. Order everything on the menu. One thing I didn't love was the fully dressed oysters with frozen toppings - I know it's a thing, just not my cup of tea. An absolutely beautiful location which I'll happily come back to.

    Cheese cart experience

    Must get the cheese cart experience! Wonderful ambience for a date and the entire staff made us feel so special. Highlights were the cheeses from Grace, the professional cheesemonger on staff, chicken and the beet salad!!

    The best place you can eat dinner probably within at least a 50 mile radius, maybe even 100 miles. This is the restaurant in the brand new The Henson hotel in the Catskills, from chefs Jeremiah Stone and Fabian von hauske Valtierra of Wildair and Contra in NYC. It's a gorgeous dining room with a nice bar room and also lots of patio seating in the enormous backyard. The food is similar to what you would expect from their other restaurants, with some amazing new dishes like the Cannelloni. Of course get all of the desserts, including an incredible Strawberry granita and a great rendition of Chocolate Mousse with Hazelnuts. This restaurant is good enough of a draw to pick The Henson as a place to stay next time you're upstate.

    Amazing food, service, and ambiance. Although some of the other customers were loud, it was at no fault of the restaurant and it is the best restaurant in the Catskills hands down. Such a hidden gem, it is located in a boutique hotel called the Henson. It is a very nice farm-to-table menu that boasts seasonal changes. The portions aren't the biggest but they were enough for my boyfriend and I (Both active, military) to feel full after a hard day of skiing. I appreciate their setting of table prior to each course, very classy and thoughtful. The server made great recommendations on the menu and helped us curate our meal based on our budget. The bar also looked cute and intimate. The French press coffee service at the end of the meal was also very cute and with beans from one of my favorite roasters.

    Iron Goddess cocktail- incredible

    Beautiful, mid century modern restaurant and bar in the quaint area of Hensonville. A pricey spot especially compared to other businesses in the area but the service, ambience, cocktails and food are far and away the nicest. The drinks are inventive and delicious and presentation is beautiful. Big fan!

    Oysters

    Amazing amazing amazing!! Hands down the best restaurant we have been to in upstate new york. We are in Windham for a long weekend getaway at a hotel nearby and came here during our first night and were blasted away by the richness of all of the flavors. The bread and butter is very special and so is the amish chicken with its super impressive hearty sauce. Cocktails are amazing, the dessert also (we had the sundae). All around wonderful restaurant with excellent decoration too. Our server was amazing, wonderfully helpful with our picks. Don't miss this gem of a place!

    The best restaurant in the Catskills and one of my favorite meals of recent memory. From NYC's Wildair/Contra chefs Fabian von Hauske and Jeremiah Stone, Matilda is equally as delicious and creative and makes amazing use of the local ingredients. Highly recommend eating the full bar and main menu: tuna belly confit, dauphine potatoes, chickpea fritters, wagyu steak and all the desserts (especially the mousse). You may have to stay a few days at The Henson like we did to try it all.

    My friends and I recently dined at Matilda's it was exceptional. We started with perfectly sour sourdough and creamy butter that was so good I could've stopped there. The East Coast oysters were sweet and refreshing. Our second course featured light, crispy potato dauphin with prosciutto, and the freshest tomato salad I've ever had. The lentils in the third course had a nice sour kick, the arugula and trout roe, and the what we described as a deconstructed onion soup was so comforting and flavorful. For the main, we had steak and duck. The duck, notoriously tricky to get right, was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful--my favorite dish of the night. We ended with a rich chocolate mousse with hazelnut and a scoop of ice cream, both of which I highly recommend. Overall, a fantastic meal from start to finish. Crowd favorites were the sour dough, oysters, lentils, the onion dish, the duck and the chocolate mousse.

    Malted ice cream sundae

    Loved the ambiance! Very cozy, fireplace, dimly lit. We ended up waiting 30 minutes for our reservation but they were very apologetic and bought us a round of drinks. Food was very good, smaller portions, on the more expensive side. But overall a nice experience!

    Chicken, onions, asparagus, and potato salad

    Found this place a little underwhelming, and strongly disagree with food baby guy Mike C that it's the best restaurant in 100 miles. That distinction goes to Silvia in Woodstock. We found all of the apps mid at best. The east coast oysters are actually bad. The prawns are underwhelming. On the plus side, the drinks are executed beautifully and the chicken is exceptional. I'd probably give it 3.5 stars, but rounding up to 4 because I give respect to people trying to bring quality food and sophisticated ingredients to the mountains. I might go back, I might not.

And it's not just the creative food, the outstanding wines, or the accommodating service. It's the one thing that all great restaurants have: an absolute commitment to making sure each customer has a fantastic experience. You can serve all the tasty food you want, but without that commitment, you'll always be good and not great. It's something these folks understand. I'm guessing it's also why everyone - and I mean everyone - we saw in the restaurant during our last visit had a big smile on their face. So yeah, we could recommend the outrageously delicious Balkan platter, the innovative pastas, or the proteins with avant garde flavor combinations. We could talk about the deep, rich wines from Croatia and Slovenia. We could muse about the modern surroundings with rustic touches. But all of that is subservient to the main point here: This is a great restaurant operating at the top of its game. It's worth the visit. It's worth a detour. I know - the secret will be out. But these folks deserve it.

The place is still charming as ever, with excellent beverages and bites in a funky garden setting behind a Main Street storefront. Today we had a lovely glass of orange wine -- I'm no wine connoisseur so won't attempt to describe it, but it was enjoyable. Also tried Porch Beer" from Arrowood brewery in Kerhokson which was a refreshing sour.We liked both a lot. Food is provided by a separate entity operating out of a tent in. the back. We lucked out on a strong array of vegetarian options since there was some issue with the pork supplier. We had a peanut tostada! and two kinds of veg tamales, one of which was made from red corn masa. All were as delicious as they were unusual. There is no table service anymore; you order at the bar and at the food tent, but everyone is friendly and courteous. Music was terrific, which I recall from last year. Just relaxing, feel good, low key tunes. Just a little chill happy making afternoon snack. Highly recommended.

They had whole smoked trout with veggies as one of their specials today and my pups and I were in heaven. For $30 a platter, there was no hesitation to order another.

There is lovely live music being played 5 feet in front of us. The outdoor wood urine oven, fresh vegetables and lovely drinks add to the entire experience. Hidden gem!
