    a sign for the pines
    Thomas A.

    The Catskills does not seem to lack in quirky and oddball joints, huh? (I'm not even talking about Woodstock - although the combo of The Mud Club and Early Terrible surely takes the cake as to what I'm hinting at.) Add to the list: The Pines. Where you can drop some serious coin on their special of head-on (my kids were not expecting that, lemme tell you!) trout served cafeteria style and eating on large rocks (small boulders?) if you weren't able to snag a picnic table. The locals know enough to bring a blanket to relax in the field while a country band is playing their hearts out about 10 yards away from the restaurant/lodge. (As for the live music... you wouldn't be able to find two cuter kids that were walking the grounds holding a metal tub asking for donations for the band on stage.) The food was really good (loved the spicy broccolini on top of the trout but it was overkill with all those creamed leeks underneath the fish, and the burger's English muffin bun wasn't sturdy enough). And they had a few interesting drinks and beers (the Mrs. was all sorts of giddy after just one can of their homemade margarita). (Having to bus our own table from start to finish - I can see where that might irk some when you see them 'suggest' a tip that ranges from 18% to 22% when you're doing most of the work... but when I'm on vacation and buzzed from their Dobble pilsner - it's all good.) Cost and logistics (thankfully we had a portable chair in the trunk of our car since we could only snag three chairs of varying sizes and a too-tiny table) aside... we're fans (that would come back in the future) even if things were a bit clunky. Somehow this seems to be the case for every Catskills joint we hit... ample parking and still it's not enough so I had to park on the main road, halfway into the brush.

    Flavorful sandwich with under cooked and bland warm potato salad.

    Really great atmosphere with some of the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. Service: Some of the very best, most attentive waitstaff in the Catskills. Ambiance: Wonderful eclectic decor and different seating areas make it perfect for a date or a gathering with the family. Food: This is the only are where I have gripes. While I appreciate the fresh locally sourced ingredients, many of the dishes fail to elevate those ingredients into something better than the sum of their parts. This is especially true in the summer when their dinner menu consists almost entirely on some variation of a salad. It's not that they are bad by any stretch of the imagination, its just that for ~$20-26 (with protein) you expect them to be better executed with more thought given to the overall cohesive of the dish. Bottom line: Amazing place to go for brunch, but there are better places to go for dinner/drinks.

    Trout chowder
    Jamee P.

    Supercute restaurant with a chill vibe! We have visited a few restaurants in area previously and had no idea this one existed. My burger was exactly what I was craving and my bf ordered the trout chowder and vegan bowl. Chowder was delish !!!!! Vegan burger was dry and tasteless but salad with Vinaigrette was great. Looking forward to checking out this restaurant when the weather warms up and you're free to eat outside alongside the fire pit. The local beer was delicious also.

    The food was very good, but how is it that the best double smash burger and fries in NYC is $15 and the same thing is $22 in Mt. Tremper?

While a few OG, meat-and-potatoes restaurants still linger along backroads near us, hubs and I- now permanent residents in the Catskills since '24, have noticed how much the surrounding towns have evolved. And the spots that have been popping up are those that have a chic/boho/chichi/slash this/slash that style. Foxfire, was a nice surprise: a stylish, modern-farmhouse getup serving a simple menu that works no matter what eating lifestyle you follow. Foxfire felt incredibly cozy and inviting when we came here on a Saturday night to celebrate a new beginning soon. I mean...this is the kind of place you want to linger a little longer. Our server was pleasant and took his time answering my questions about whether certain dishes had mustard, mustard seed, mustard powder or Dijon. The Japanese Caesar salad sounded great on paper, but something told me to ask. Since mustard is usually part of a Caesar dressing and theirs didn't list it on the menu, I figured it was worth double-checking. Sure enough when I asked, it called for it. Next. We started with olives and creamy- but offbeat crab cakes. The cocktails looked great on paper but missed on strength. When both the starter and the drinks strike out, you get ready for a 3rd. Thankfully, the main plates kind of saved the night. Hubs liked his deconstructed "Farmhouse Chicken," sliced in 3 pieces ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and my Branzino was delicious. Service was solid though, but let's talk pricing: $18 cocktails with zero punch and a $40+ Branzino portion that was kind of small....hmmm. Don't expect the drinks or portions to keep up with the price tag.

But somewhere in the last few months, the kitchen's lost its touch. Two weeks ago my pasta came out looking rich and promising, but the cheese had clearly been melted ages before- cold, congealed and sad by the time it hit the table. I had to send it back just to get it warmed. Then came their famous chocolate ganache balls we love with strawberry coulis. Except now, the scoops are deformed with zero coulis and replaced with caramel instead. Why change something that worked so well? Hubs and I thought maybe it was just an off night. Came back Halloween weekend with my daughter, hoping for some sort of redemption. Nope. Same story. Plus the Vegetarian hand pies my kid and I ordered were cold.
