    Lovely little coffee shop in town with a whole array of pastries on display and also food for breakfast and lunch options. My friends and I only stopped in to get some coffee but everything looked very tempting. The coffee was pretty good and prices are amazing, considering we're from NYC and we haven't had well priced drinks in a while! It was so good that we came back the next day for more coffee!

    Breakfast menu is 8-1130 and lunch menu is 1130-4. For breakfast, we enjoyed the whitefish salad toast (best white fish I have ever had) and the breakfast burrito (pretty standard; nothing special but still good). For lunch, we loved the brunch pizza. Super fresh homemade dough and really good quality cheeses and sausage. BONUS: They sell pints of Jane's homemade ice cream for $7. When we went, they had vanilla, lavender, lemon, killer chocolate, and peanut butter. We bought the vanilla and it was delicious! They also have to go boxes of other items, like Mac and cheese, etc.

    Great little coffee shop serving elevated breakfast and lunch. The Cappuccinos were delish and the Adult Grilled Cheese Panini was memorable with just the right amount of rosemary flavor shining through. Will definitely be back to try more of the coffee selection and pastries. The Rhubarb cake was a highlight as were the attentive and friendly staff. Opportunities: More of a minimalist aesthetic inside which could use a little more decor and some eat-in dining ware for those wanting to sit and stay a while. Happy to see this place draw in a bustling crowd on a rainy day.

    This tiny town has many things going for it, chief among them is a great gathering space in the form of a coffee shop. If you was great baked goods or small prepared meals or even amazing tea or coffee with excellent service, this is the place for you. Miniature savory or sweet pot pies to donut muffins create sharing options for a small group share.

    Nice variety of dinner ideas at #athensrooster

    A must visit for visitors is a weekend joy for locals. The homemade treats, soups, salads and more are happily served up by a friendly team.

    A combination of prepared foods(like breakfast burritos and paninis ready to be heated), one of the best pizzas I've had in the hudson valley, a specials board of fresh soups/salads/entrees, and behind the counter baked goods&coffee - if there's only going to be one breakfast/lunch spot in the village of Athens, I couldn't ask for much more...and added bonus that there are options for my vegan and gluten intolerant friends(which are as delicious as the rest of the menu).

    Pizza!

    I had a wonderful meal at the Athens Rooster today: Murderer's Creek Pizza. The delicious pie included Chorizo, Marinara, Fresh Mozzarella, Parmesan, Oregano and Chili Flakes. It was my kind of spicy! The staff was extremely friendly and courteous, and my pizza arrived quickly (which pleased my empty stomach). The place was also super clean and the tables spaced far apart. I'll be back again and again, to sample their other offerings, that include paninis for lunch and breakfast burritos for breakfast.

Malheureusement, notre expérience globale a été gâchée par ce que j'ai perçu comme un accueil peu chaleureux de la part de la propriétaire, Eliana. Dès notre arrivée, je me suis senti mal à l'aise et peu le bienvenu. Sa façon de communiquer m'a semblé insistante et froide, ce qui a créé une atmosphère désagréable. Ce qui m'a le plus déçu, c'est le sentiment d'être encouragé à partir lorsque nous avons manifesté notre intérêt pour voir une autre partie du restaurant.

Nederlands De service en de drankjes waren goed en het personeel dat ons hielp was vriendelijk. Helaas werd onze algehele ervaring overschaduwd door wat ik ervoer als een onvriendelijke ontvangst door de eigenaresse, Eliana. Vanaf het moment dat we binnenkwamen voelde ik mij ongemakkelijk en niet echt welkom. Haar manier van communiceren kwam op mij over als opdringerig en afstandelijk. Wat mij het meest teleurstelde, was het gevoel dat we werden aangemoedigd om te vertrekken toen we interesse toonden in een ander gedeelte van het restaurant. Of dat nu de bedoeling was of niet, het gaf ons het gevoel niet gewaardeerd te worden als gasten. Hoewel de drankjes en de service goed waren, heeft deze ervaring een negatieve indruk achtergelaten. 日本語 (Japanese) ドリンクは美味しく、スタッフのサービスも良かったです。しかし残念ながら、オーナーのエリアナの態度によって全体の経験が台無しになりました。 お店に入った瞬間から、歓迎されているというよりも居心地の悪さを感じました。彼女の態度は押しつけがましく、失礼で、正直なところ「お客さんに来てほしくないのかな」と思ってしまうほどでした。 特に驚いたのは、レストランの別のエリアを見てみたいと思った時の対応です。歓迎されるどころか、「見たいなら帰ってください」と言われているような気分になりました。私はこれまで多くの国を旅し、たくさんのレストランを訪れてきましたが、このような経験は初めてです。 レストランというのは、お客さんを歓迎し、心地よく過ごしてもらう場所であるべきです。ただ中を見たいと思っただけで迷惑者のように扱われるべきではありません。 ドリンクは良く、スタッフも親切でした。しかし、オーナーの態度がそのすべてを台無しにしてしまいました。

The host and service staff were warm and welcoming, taking the time to explain both the menu and the nightly specials. We ordered the sea salt focaccia with whipped ricotta, the Maine mussels all'Amatriciana, the Argentinian red prawns, the heritage pork chop, and toffee pudding. The focaccia was baked perfectly, with just the right amount of seasoning. The biggest surprise, though, was the mussels. They arrived already removed from the shells, which I wasn't expecting, but they ended up being the standout dish of the meal. The prawns were good, while the pork chop had nice flavor, though I wish it had been a little juicier. The toffee pudding is highly recommended.

    "We don't have a cocktail menu, but we can make anything you'd like."…read more That was one of the first things our server told us, and honestly, it was refreshing. These days, it feels like every bar has a cocktail menu full of creatively named drinks that require reading a list of ingredients just to figure out what you're ordering. At Governor's Tavern, if you want a gin and tonic, you simply ask for a gin and tonic. The only decision you need to make is which gin you'd like. I'm not much of a cocktail person, but I appreciate that not every place feels the need to reinvent the wheel. The place was packed at lunchtime, but we got lucky and grabbed a pair of seats across from the bar. The server who I quoted was genuinely friendly and welcoming. I ordered a Guinness, but unfortunately the keg had just kicked. She recommended the Samuel Smith chocolate stout instead and even brought me a sample before I committed to taste since I never heard of it, which was a nice touch. For food, we ordered the State Grill burger and the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. Both were excellent, and each came with Belgian-style hand-cut fries. If you're spending the day browsing the boutiques and antique shops along Warren Street and want a drink, a good meal, and a lively mix of locals and tourists, Governor's Tavern is worth a stop.

It was hard in the past to find places for all of us but now it's even more difficulty because we still have my extremely picky BIL who has stomach issues, GERD, and a multitude of other issues, and now we have a vegan-ish person who tries to stay vegan but eats cheese, dairy, and eggs. So finding places to satisfy everyone is more complicated. This place met our needs and can meet yours: dog friendly, vegetarian options, and has something for even the pickiest of people. Me and another person got the strip steak, my husband got the Philly cheesesteak, MIL got the wunderbar burger, FIL got salmon burger, the vegan-ish got a veggie burger and one of the salads, which he split with his wife the SIL, and my picky BIL got the chicken sandwich. He freaked out over the sandwich because he wanted to know why it was moist and not dry. His partner and I were like, "You can have fully-cooked, moist chicken. Dry chicken isn't the only cooked option." But he continued to have a meltdown over his perfectly cooked chicken. He did eat it though. Family can drive you nuts sometimes. Anyways, despite the meltdown, I think we were all satisfied with our food. I did find the mashed potato on the steak to be very creamy but everything else on the plate was very good. Steak was cooked medium-rare liked I asked. Overall, the place is very good, excellent food, excellent service, and it was a busy night.

    Skip Wunderbar in Rhinebeck NY. (The address shown by Yelp is its former location in Hudson NY.)…read more The staff lacks a customer service mentality or proper training and management. Can't comment on the food because I left without ordering after waiting ten minutes seated in the middle of the bar ignored by a barmaid intently struggling to mix cocktails who wouldn't make eye contact or acknowledge my presence with a smile or a nod. Or by offering a menu. That's after walking in without receiving a greeting from a staff member. Add noisy acoustics and poor lighting from weird fixtures hanging above the bar. Go instead to Osaka next door for consistently excellent sushi and sashimi and dumplings in a very pleasant, inviting atmosphere.
