The roads were dusty, rocky, and…read morehad me questioning if I was going the right way...but then again, it's the same everywhere around here. Thankfully, the scenery improved as we got closer, and driving through the open fields to the restaurant was actually pretty nice. Parking was easy, and we didn't have to use valet even though we had to drive through valet to the parking. The service was on the slower side (on a quiet weekday), but the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming throughout our meal. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the price. The burger was super oily and the chicken was DRYYYY, but nothing particularly memorable, especially considering how expensive it was. It honestly felt like we were paying more for the beautiful views and the overall resort atmosphere, since the restaurant is connected to an all inclusive resort. The one thing that truly stood out was the dessert and my favorite part of the entire experience. Overall, it's a lovely place to visit for the scenery and ambiance, and TikTok vibes, but if you're going solely for the food, I don't think it offers the best value for the price.

The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful, especially during the fall and winter. Sitting outside around the massive fire pit with a drink in hand is one of my favorite experiences. The restaurant itself is elegant yet cozy, and the entire property is stunning, with luxury cabins, a spa, and breathtaking surroundings that make it a perfect getaway--especially for visitors coming from New York City. The food is consistently outstanding. Every dish is beautifully prepared, the cocktails are excellent, and while the portions are on the gourmet side, the quality more than justifies the price. It is definitely a splurge for locals, but it's worth it for a special occasion or when you're looking for an exceptional dining experience. Even though they don't offer a kids' menu, it's never been an issue for us. My 6-year-old loves the food and actually asks to celebrate her birthday there, which says a lot! Parking is easy with a large lot and complimentary valet service, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for outstanding farm-to-table cuisine, beautiful scenery, and a memorable dining experience in the Hudson Valley, I highly recommend Clay at Wildflower Farms. It's a place we happily return to again and again.

I went with the Homemade Corned Beef Hash, topped with two eggs and served with toast. Rich and savory, it paired especially well with a side of sautéed mushrooms, whose earthy flavor brought a nice balance to the richness of the hash. I also ordered a cup of their fresh broccoli cheddar soup because, well, why not have soup with breakfast? It was delicious and absolutely worth the detour. My breakfast companion went with the Mio Breakfast, two eggs, bacon, potatoes, salad greens and toast. Classic breakfast comfort food done right. We washed it all down with a refreshing iced caramel latte. The staff were super nice, and I was genuinely surprised by how quickly our food came out. It arrived in record time without making us feel rushed. We really enjoyed our meal. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and satisfying food. Café Mío definitely earned a return visit, and I'm already looking forward to coming back.

I can safely say that we have sampled countless vegan and vegan-option places but NONE compare to Little Loaf!

From Colleen, the chef and co-owner who couldn't be more lovely, talented and bighearted, to Gabriella (whom I believe is the kitchen manager) and who is above and beyond delightful and gracious- to Ryan, the co- owner who brings such warmth and kindness to this terrific place that you can understand why it attracts likeminded people, to Inka who always checks us out at he counter with a warmth and a smile! And the pastries... WOW!! They are hands down the best vegan pastries we've ever had! Every single one is fresh, beautifully made, and absolutely delicious. We also tried several of the sandwiches, and everything has been outstanding. It's obvious that everything is made and filled with love, care, and exceptional attention to quality. Whether you're vegan or not, this bakery is a true gem. Amazing food, truly wonderful people, and an atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. We can't wait to come back and try even more. This place has earned customers for life. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would! Highly, highly recommended!

We stumbled on the Inn at the Ridge through some Google searching. We only spent two nights, Friday and Saturday, so we were treated to Sal's weekend cooking. Easily among the best food at a B&B that we've ever had. When I booked, I didn't realize that I had booked the one room with a disconnected bathroom. Yes, it's private, but downstairs. Since the Inn wasn't completely full, they offered to relocate us to another open room, we didn't ask, they just suggested it. The house is old, like real old, so expect some quirks like wide creaky floors etc. The beds were quiet though, which was the important thing. Each room is uniquely decorated. The Inn is a nice distance from busy areas but not so far as to be a hardship. It's extremely close to Angry Orchard's Innovation cider mill, a state park with great trails, and even a little college town. I could probably go on, but Yelp's review editor is giving me issues. We'd definitely stay here again if we're in the area.

Boy, are there a lot of post-hike options in New Paltz. I stopped by here this past Saturday…read moreafternoon after an 8.7-mile hike in nearby Minnewaska State Park. The weather had been pretty mediocre throughout the day but that clearly hadn't stopped the tourists from invading the downtown area - the place was teeming with people when I came in around 3pmish. I didn't do a ton of research on potential eating spots (a lot of SE Asian eateries, which seemed kind of random?) but picked Lola's because it was a block or two from where I parked, and I immediately imprinted on the Short Rib Grilled Cheese when I saw it on the online menu. Decision made. Since it was starting to get a little nicer out, I would have liked a spot outside in the front patio. But the girl at the check-in (I feel like there's a much better term for that) asked me to go inside, which for sure was a bias against the fact that I was a solo diner. I get it in theory, but it's not fun to get treated like a second-class citizen because you don't have a posse with you in a tourist trap. Regardless, the interior was fine; looked like it had been redone within the last year or so; what it lacked in personality it made up for in terms of overall spiffiness (and the area where the personality DID come through was in the bathroom area, with tongue-in-check "Whatever" gender signs on the doors and edgy art by the sinks. Tell me you're a college town without telling me you're a college town.). The set-up in here is more casual than I assumed; I was told that my table was #10 (the numbers were clearly marked on each table, reminiscent of Smashburger), and that once I decided what I wanted, I needed to go up to the counter to order. Someone WOULD serve the food, but a big chunk of the experience is DIY. I ordered the aforementioned Short Rib Grilled Cheese w/ Fries, along with a Diet Pepsi, and waited. I thought this was pretty inefficient, as there were plenty of employees nearby who easily could have just taken my order at the table instead of having me sit down, then stand up and walk across the restaurant to order, and then sit back down. The wait was a little longer than I would have guessed, just given the straightforward order and casual, almost fast-food style to the business model; it took close to 20 minutes to get my sandwich, I'd guess. Not egregious, and there WERE a number of other customers on the premises as well. The Grilled Cheese was just okay - I tend to grade on a curve after a hike, but I thought it was really drippy/greasy, and I wasn't crazy about the tomato compote it came with (which is a personal palate preference and something that WAS specifically referenced on the menu and I didn't request its exclusion; easy to remove, regardless). The short ribs aspect was unsurprisingly the best part. The fries were decent; a little pale but cooked through. There was a pickle hidden underneath them that was a little emotionally upsetting but it is what it is. This was fine and could have been worse, but the next time I'm in town I'm going to keep walking down the street and trying one of the many other options nearby. The target demo for this feels a little more 2am college student than hungry hiker in the afternoon.

As for the sandwich, chicken was fried just right and it cut thin, not a huge chuck of fried chicken breast that often just silds right out of the bread.

If the cheese on my burger has already congealed, it took too long to get to me. The burger itself was tasty enough, but significantly smaller than the bun, and the amount of "dijonaise" was so little that it would not even spread on the entire bun and still be noticeable. They were equally stingy with the mayo I requested for my fries. The "all dressed" fries were also tasty, but were not crispy at all. Excellent idea, great work with the flavoring, but room temperature and soft. While my month-old craving for a burger has been satisfied, I doubt I will return.
