    Had a lovely Saturday night dinner here! The food was spectacular - truly fresh ingredients and…read morehigh quality, worth every cent. We had the squash bread with apple jam and the bone marrow + steak tartare as starters. Both were so good, especially the steak tartare that just tasted so clean and fresh, pairing nicely with the richness of the bone marrow. It came with these little potato slices that were scooped out to provide a perfect vehicle for the marrow/tartare. My partner had the carrot tart tartin, which he loved, and my scallops with morel mushrooms were perfectly cooked, with the hazelnuts providing such a nice texture. He enjoyed his phony negroni (they also had other NA options, including other mocktails, an NA beer, and an NA Riesling) and I really liked my Good Shepherd cocktail, their unique take on a dirty martini. We were too full for dessert, unfortunately. The service was great - attentive and friendly, but it felt like we were able to take our time and enjoy ourselves without feeling rushed, even though the place was busy. It is definitely on the pricier side and I would recommend reservations as the place was pretty full, but I would absolutely recommend this spot for a delicious, quality meal in Rhinebeck!

Vegan stuffed squash ratatouille, with herbs, rice, etc. I'm grateful for a real meal, but I think it needed to be on a base of some beans. Fried chicken with dill pickles with buttermilk ranch dip was delicious and tender, collard greens were packed with flavor. Miso marinated black Cod with mushrooms and red lentil puree was enjoyed. All delish! Bar decor is chic and stylish. Not too noisy on a Sunday night. Small place with limited seating. Nice bar. Great ambiance. Service was perfect. Sign was tiny. At a nearby table, we saw a Absinthe fountain(!?), which looked fascinating! On my agenda... Helpful?

Menu had lots of variety and the dessert specials were to die for. Everything was delicious - highly recommend the calamari appetizer and the complimentary bread was fantastic. I just about licked my dinner plate clean (get the duck breast)! Friends loved the fried chicken and the salmon. Wine list was great and service was wonderful.

    We were eager to check out Miss Lucy's as one of the more popular spots in Saugerties. Thankfully…read moreit wasn't too annoying to get a reservation and we found the spot to be busy and popular among locals and tourists alike. Walking in we were seated promptly though we immediately noticed that the interior was extremely dark. Not a big deal but worth flagging for older folks who might have a hard time reading. Our server was friendly and relatively attentive and walked us through the menu. We started off with some classics including their bread and butter (which was tasty and delicious) and ordered their P.E.I Mussels ($19) along with their Fried Brussels Sprouts ($15) to share. The portions were quite large for everything (great if you're in a larger party) but we immediately noticed that the mussels they served seemed a bit off. Many of them were not opened all the way (a sign that they might not be the freshest or recently passed) and had a bit of a fishy taste to them. We ended up not finishing them and flagged them to our waiter. The other items, including the 14oz Ribeye ($43) and baby back ribs ($28) were better, though a bit one-note. The bay back ribs in particular were extremely saucy and the corn bread was dry and a bit tough to eat. I had to use a knife to split it apart as it kept crumbling every time I used a fork. Regardless, it seems like a popular spot for a reason and perhaps we just went during more of an off-night. I'd still recommend checking it out but avoiding the mussels if you go.

    Really great experience at Terrapin. We met friends here for dinner and we were coming from a…read morevariety of locations so Rhinebeck was sort of equidistant for everyone. The place looks really cool and I saw people eating outside, which looks like it would have been enjoyable. Our party of four sat inside; I was afraid it would be very loud but the acoustics were really good and even though it was lively, we could hear each other and not the other tables, which was awesome. Our server was Patrick and he was amazing. He had recommendations for everything and he didn't miss. I don't even know the name of the cocktail I had (maybe a Manhattan Brooklyn or something like that?) because I told him what I liked and he brought his recommendation, which was perfect. He also warned us not to fill up on the delicious hot rolls they served because portions were big for the entrees and again, he was on target. He brought my husband a glass of wine that he absolutely loved as well. We shared artichoke dip to start and it was really delicious. I couldn't have eaten most of it myself. I had the NY Strip steak and it came with spinach and mashed potatoes. It was very good.....it's not the best steak I ever had but it was high quality and reasonably priced. For dessert, he recommended a few items and we liked them all. There was an orange cake which was awesome, and also some blueberry cake which was amazing. The Dubai chocolate cake was good and if we had only had that, I would say it's good but it was not match for the other two. What elevates this to five stars for me is the overall experience. I loved the atmosphere, the whole team there is really focused on delivering a memorable service experience and Patrick just took it over the top. I don't think it would be possible to have a bad meal if he was your server. He's just excellent and he's what tipped the scales from four stars to five stars.

    4.5 rounded up. Loved the wine (got the Sancerre but the Sauvignon blanc I tasted wasn't bad…read moreeither) as well as the complimentary bread to start (warm, soft, and very fresh with soft butter). The starters were also pretty good - we got the mushroom bisque and the baby arugula salad with goat cheese wontons. For entrees, we got the lobster pasta which I liked a lot but my husband didn't (a bit too creamy and mushy for him I think - and admittedly the lobster was a bit overcooked and rubbery), and the Hudson valley duck Peking style (I wouldn't recommend this - it was sadly not that great). We ended with the tiramisu, which was decent. Overall, pretty good food relatively speaking and look forward to returning!

    Eh. I had dinner here on Friday night and I don't know that I'd return. The restaurant is drop dead…read moregorgeous-- exposed beams, large windows, well set and appointed tables. I saw another review that you could have a wedding here and I agree. The service was nice-- we had two servers-- one sister training the other? I attempted to order a drink twice-- they had neither in stock-- before getting a Diet Coke. The big area of opportunity here is the food. My husband ordered the scallop risotto, which came... wet. It looked like rice swimming in water-- the flavor was similar, unfortunately. The cook on the scallops ranged widely in the dish. I ordered the salmon-- the cook on the salmon was nice but the quinoa was inedible, as were the veggies it was served with. Our meal was late and it felt like the food was held over from earlier preparations. We got the bread pudding, which was fine-- but the proportion of ice cream to pudding ratio was way off. The restaurant has so much potential but the food is the big problem to solve for, in my opinion.

    We'll preface this review by saying that an experience this poor usually starts with ownership or…read moremanagement and trickles down to the staff. Who knows what the employees have to deal with on a day-to-day basis to result in service this bad. We were extremely disappointed with our experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff came across as rude and unwelcoming. We asked if we could sit at one of the tables closest to the waterfall, and the response was simply, "Well, it's dirty." Mind you, about 90% of the restaurant was empty. We expected something like, "No problem, give us a moment to clean it off." We're very easygoing and would have completely understood waiting a few minutes. Instead, that interaction set the tone for the rest of the meal. We even pitched in to help the bussing staff. When our waitress finally returned, she immediately said, "Oh, you don't have menus? You forgot them. I know I already gave them to you along with your place settings." Apparently it was a set-your-own-table experience. At that point, it almost felt like we were expected to bring our own service as well. The food quality was underwhelming--We've had better charcuterie on a plane--especially considering the prices. Several ingredients that were listed as part of the dishes were missing. When we asked the busser about it, she said she would check with the kitchen, but she never returned with an answer or any follow-up. Honestly, we would have expected the server to check back regardless, but other than taking our initial order, she never returned to our table, even when we tried to wave her over. So yes no one came back after our food was served to ask how everything was, whether we needed anything, or to address the missing ingredients. Once our order was delivered, we were completely forgotten. Good service means checking on your guests, addressing concerns, and making sure they're enjoying their meal. None of that happened during our visit. When we finally approached the manager, the first response was, "Well, did you eat any of the food?" Yes--we each had a couple of bites of the kale Caesar because we were starving, despite it being served without the advertised pork belly, which was the main ingredient. We had already tried to address our concerns in real time, but no one ever followed up. We're far from people who leave negative reviews. In fact, we think this is only the second bad restaurant review we've ever written. The experience was simply that disappointing. Overall, the combination of rude service, poor management, disappointing food quality, missing ingredients, and a complete lack of follow-through made for an incredibly frustrating dining experience. Unfortunately, we can't recommend this restaurant, and we won't be returning. The view is absolutely gorgeous, but you're better off grabbing a sandwich somewhere else and enjoying it from the nearby bridge.
