I've never had a bad meal, and the service is always spot-on, with a thoughtful system that lets you signal when you need something without ever feeling rushed or overlooked. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with great music, fun events, and a family-friendly vibe that makes it easy to relax and stay awhile. Whether you're inside or enjoying the outdoor seating, it's just an all-around great experience every time. Easily a five-star spot in my book.

I attended a wedding at the Red Maple Vineyard this past weekend. It was a beautiful venue and the…read morestaff were superb and attentive. Our day started with a Chinese tea ceremony in the barn and then a catered lunch. About 6:30pm, the ceremony with a live music started followed by passed hors d'oeuvre, fresh oysters, and wood fired pizza. The wood fired pizza was very delicious and I enjoyed the blackened shrimp and the arancini. I tried the cider and the rosé, but they were too dry for my taste. Then at 7:45pm, we went into the reception pavilion. The menu consisted of a salad as first course, a duet plate of salmon and beef short rib for entree, and dessert. The summer citrus salmon with the multi grain pilaf was very good. After first dance, father and daughter dance, mother and son dance, and speeches, the DJ told us to step outside. After a few minutes, the sky exploded with light. It was a beautiful fireworks display from the hillside. The bathrooms were stocked with essentials in the toiletry baskets. Red Maple Vineyard offers a rustic barn and reception pavilion, massive green grounds, and a beautiful garden.

We'd stop by as we were planning out wedding, and he'd bring us down to the kitchen, open up the fridge and pull out food for us. He'd open wine (of course) and we'd hang out. It has now become our annual tradition to head up to West Park on (or around) our anniversary for a visit with Lou. And now it's not just us, but first one daughter, and then our second. How often would you go and visit a catering hall? Just be prepared... Lou likes a good joke, so be ready with one or two, and be prepared to wince at his!

The owner of this property is just that the owner, he has no experience with weddings, and has no manners, no people skills, and cares only about the bottom line. I have yet to bash another wedding vendor, as it's just not good practice, but after the last experience I had, I feel I have no choice but be vocal and public about this man. He not only went through 4 (yes, four) head waiters, in less than a year, but actually told my bride that she was difficult, needy, and had the smallest wedding ever! This was 3 days before her wedding, when we all know a bride is fragile as it is, but to have an email from this man, basically bashing her.... WRONG! He also promised her the moon, and then would take it back, then give it again.... he is like a selfish child, just wanting to toy with every bride and groom. Once he gets your down payment......... watch out. Don't get me wrong, the staff in wonderful, the venue is wonderful, the food is good and the overall experience the bride and groom had on their wedding day was great......... but at what cost. Most venues should bend over backwards to keep thier clients happy, not make them feel bad or worse make them cry!

Very professional, listened to what we wanted, then took us to three wineries that were fantastic. Each winery had its own unique character and the wines were spot on, as well the spirits in the last one we went to. Donovan's van was very clean, well air conditioned, and had all the amenities needed to go from one winery to the next. He's very knowledgeable of the area, well prepared, and an all around fun and great guy. He picked us up at our hotel at Marriott Courtyard Poughkeepsie and after the tour dropped us off at the Beacon Train station it really worked out very well. We'll be gathering a group of friends and hopefully do another tour in the fall or before Christmas. For sure we will pick Tour with Donovan again! Thanks Donovan!

Super fresh, crispy crust, exactly what you want. And the drinks did not disappoint either, the IPA and the cider were both excellent. Would come back for those alone. The chicken sandwiches were where things fell apart. We ordered five across the spicy and regular, and every single one felt undercooked. It was also a letdown that they had no fries to go with them, which is an inseparable combo in my opinion. So, great spot for pizza and drinks, but I'd skip the chicken

Geoff ended up running our tour and was so nice and patient. We are a bit, um, loud sometimes but Geoff made sure to get the best angles with every group picture and even picked up our untimely food order so we wouldn't miss the last tasting. He was also extremely knowledgeable about local wine! **THE EXPERIENCE** It was a gorgeous fall Saturday. I highly recommend taking this trip in October, as the foliage was breathtaking. Milea Vineyard, our first stop, felt like a mansion, and the tasting room was sunlit and gorgeous. Clinton Vineyards was more of a country farmhouse, and our group had a private tasting with the owner, Phyllis, who is a super interesting woman. The last, Milbrook, was a bit busy, but the property has a cute lake and food, and before the tasting, you can check out the vineyard and store. Again HIGHLY recommended! Especially for a bachelorette party, birthday, or girls weekend getaway!

And since it was a cold winter day, we opted to share some carrot ginger soup and a grilled cheese. We enjoyed everything, as well as our long conversation with the friendly owner. She also hosts different events and gallery openings at the space, which will definitely check out!
