We had quite the eventful day of biking and bopping around in heavy rain, so when we found this…read morerestaurant near our Airbnb we were more than thrilled. Of course we cleaned up and walked over and were even more thrilled when we arrived to a completely empty dining room with the exception of our wonderful waiter and attentive host. It felt like the perfect, cozy intimate space to the end of an otherwise rainy, somewhat crazy but fun day. We shared a bottle of red on recommendation and had cocktails. The waiter was warm and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The ambiance is cozy and has an elevated feel. Service was exceptional and it was the perfect, memorable evening. Ended dinner with what I recall was a complimentary chocolate truffle. 10/10!

People are kvetching about Butterfield's service and prices. And guess what? They're right. Service…read morewas indeed spotty on the Saturday night we came here and prices- well....they veer into sharp-intake-of-breath territory, but the cocktail and wine list are good in value. We'd just wrapped up seeing a property in the area- so coming here for dinner, fell just in line with timing before heading down home. Butterfield is Hasbrouck House's on-site farm-to-table restaurant located a bit north from New Paltz. While we didn't stay at the hotel, folks can certainly dine here. Don't even think that you'll be seated in an ultra-cheap bar area because their bar is put together elegantly with brushed, brassy-gold touches, navy, grey+cream patterned wallpaper and a comfortable tufted leather(?) sofa against the windows.Those are pretty much the overall touches with lots of tone and a lot of warmth. Music was a great mix of 60s-70s R&B. Yeah.... here. Hubs and I were digging it. Naturally, Butterfield's menu will change regularly according with what's in season and available. Between our 'Small Plates' of mixed Beet salad+ yogurt ($18) and hubs' crispy wonton Tuna Crudo+ yuzu tacos ($22)- they were very tasty and pricy for the small size. Mr. Mixologist packed our cocktails extremely well with an incredible TKO. Our main plates were very good- but again, small for the dollar amount. No one needs to gorge on food- but I wished my palm-size $44 Halibut was a bit bigger. To their defense, it had a tasty rub and done PERFECTLY moist though. Hubs' $54 "dry aged strip loin" was a total of 3 pieces. And my take-out Truffle Risotto had uncooked rice. Again, it's small and expensive at $38 for a main plate Hubs and I eat well and usually, money is no object- if it's within reason. I totally get that fine dining typically means splurging a little for high-quality items or that Butterfield is using 'complex cooking techniques' or that you'll get an original dining experience in these neck of the woods for those who want uniqueness. But there are a ton of restaurants that use the same skill set, quality organic ingredients, root veggies, etc- and they're way more reasonably priced than this location.

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.

The drive here definitely didn't make the best first impression. 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.

As a pescatarian, I'm always hunting for a solid fish spot and Gadaleto's in New Paltz, NY knows…read morethe deal. It's a two-fer: fish market and a restaurant. I came right after work ready to pick up some fried oysters and clam strips then I was told the kitchen was down because of some equipment issues. Bad timing. Lucky for me, the market was still doing its thing. I picked up a shrimp ceviche and a fresh flounder fillet to cook at home. The shrimp chunks were juicy, crazy fresh, with just enough lime to make it pop without drowning out the seafood. And for the size, price was very reasonable. Not so much on the flounder fillet which was more than I wanted to pay. The guy helping me kept it real though- friendly, welcoming and apologetic about the restaurant situation. Word to the wise- call ahead before you come here. Make sure the restaurant's open and they've got whatever you're craving on the menu.

It had the requisite consistency and was very reasonable $ wise- but could have a bit more attention to it? Not as many bits of clams as hoped for, perhaps a bump of rustic flavor from herbs, garlic or ? IMHO. The calamari however was fantastic. Tender and fried just right.

The radicchio salad was an…read moreimpressive starter - more than enough for two to share, with an interesting peanut sauce that had a little zip to it. We also shared the roasted cauliflower, a nice counterpoint to the salad. For mains, my partner had the steelhead trout, over Swiss chard and rice grits - it had a nice pink tone and was very flavorful. I had the short rib massaman, which was fantastic. Delicious shreds of spare rib in a spicy peanut sauce, served over papparadelle - wow, this was great. It reminds me of a ragu I've had at Portale in NYC, but with a strong Thai inflection. It's my favorite dish yet at Eliza. This is a bit of a journey for us, but always worth it. I'm really looking forward to where the Eliza team goes next with their menu.

Both the short rib and trout were tender, and I'd order them again!

Our first dinner was especially relaxing. We sat by the window with beautiful views, and the ambiance was cozy and peaceful. The meals were served as a pre-fixe with starter, entrée, and dessert options. That evening, I started with the muhammara. It was flavorful and served with crispy fried pita. I personally prefer a bit more heat, but the texture and seasoning were spot on. For my entrée, I chose the seared chicken breast--tender and well-seasoned, though the portion was more than I could finish. Dessert was a standout: the mascarpone torta cake was light, creamy, and absolutely incredible. I'd give it 10 stars if I could! The second night, I tried the cauliflower bisque, and wow--it was rich, creamy, and delicious. Easily my favorite dish of the night. My entrée was the pumpkin fregola, which was fine but didn't quite match the wow factor of the soup. We ended our trip with breakfast at the restaurant, which is served buffet-style. The spread was generous, with tons of options for all kinds of tastes. It was a perfect way to wrap up a wonderful weekend. Highly recommend dining here if you're staying at Mohonk--or even making a reservation if you're visiting the area. Beautiful setting, friendly staff, and memorable meals.

After hearing good things and being instagram influenced to come here we were beyond disappointed…read morewith our experience. The website makes the dining experience seem elevated and superb - the upsetting reality is this entire resort is completely outdated and utterly less than satisfactory. If you are looking for vibes this place is the opposite. Fluorescent lighting, no music, dull and lifeless. We even tried going outside to enjoy the view of the mountain in the evening before our meal and none of the outside lights were on, none of the outside fire pits lit...just the most underwhelming ambiance. The place feels like a dated Amish twilight zone. When we arrived at the dining room for our dinner we entered to the sounds of no music but children running around and crying and screaming. We knew it was family friendly but imagined that the main dining that was so "esteemed" based on the website, and costs over $150 per person (before drinks) was going to have a section for adults only (especially on Valentine's Day) but really it was like a loud cruise dining hall or theme park dining hall. We had a prix fixe menu but there were folks getting buffet behind us- there's a giant buffet in the middle of the room- just ZERO ambiance. For what we paid for this evening I am utterly shocked at the experience. We are so disappointed and feel robbed of $400 and our valentines dinner. There are so many other incredible dining experiences we could have in the Hudson valley for half that price. What a scam. We will never be back.
