    The BEST mashed potatoes I've EVER had!!! The PROS: * Like I said, the mashed potatoes! Seasoned perfectly & lumpy. * Our server. What a doll!! So sweet and it didn't seem fake (& if it was, that just attests to how good she is.) * Cleanliness. For age of the place, it was VERY clean! * The view. Apart from being outside, we got the best seat in the house worth a beautiful view of the water & woods. The CONS: * It's DEFINITELY dated. From the outside, you know it's dated but as soon as you walk in, you're transformed to 1990s Poconos! Wood everything with mauve carpets. Plus, it just gives off a haunted vibe. * Although my mashed potatoes were fire, everything else seemed like it was frozen and quick thawed. The salmon was overdone. The prime rib was tasteless and tough. The haricot verts rubbery. AND they were out of the short ribs we had our eye on. Tell us that a soon as we sit down. * The drinks were weak. And I'm not really a drinker so it shoulda hit me but sadly, it didn't. * Parking is by meter and tough to find. While I understand that's not under their control per se, it still sucks to circle.

    Some restaurants ooze the perfect combination of unassuming charm and fantastic views. Sometimes, this can make up for occasional shortcomings in the food. Stopping in Stroudsburg on our back home from a Sunday hike, we landed at the Willowtree Inn. This cozy spot on a side street overlooks willow trees and a creek, while high ceilings and dark wood add a rustic vibe, while a guitarist/singer softly strums folk tunes. The menu is French influenced American cuisine, with a seasonal drinks list. Famished from the hike, we each went with an entree (short ribs for her, prime rib for me) and a glass of autumn sangria. The sangria was nicely tart and not too sweet; the short rib was meltingly tender and topped with a fantastic brown sauce while the prime rib was tasty, if a little heavy on salt. We capped the meal with a slice of cassata: a pound cake topped with cannoli cream and dusted with espresso powder. All in all, a solid and enjoyable meal

    Came in with a group of 12-13 people on a Saturday night at 7 pm. Not knowingly aware that the restaurant closes at 8 pm. As I am from the New York City area, I expected most restaurants to close at least 9pm. So rating service - 4.5 stars. Out waitress Christina was a true gem. She made sure we were all taken care as much as she could given the size the group and different needs. She warmed up a luke-warm hot cider when requested. She suggested drinks and exchange items in a timely manner. She was truly a gem Ambiance---nothing fancy. Very old world type of ambiance with wood panels, wood chairs. Very antique looking decor. Food- well...I had the following: Margarita- Did not like it at all. Returned it and tried the espresso martini, which was better, but not great Table bread- Tasty. One of the girls from my table had like 3..lol. She was hungry but the bread was good. House salad - basic but pretty good. Escargot - just ok. The sauce was good Shrimp Scampi with Linguini - Lacked taste. Salt and pepper was much needed. But it still didnt do the food much justice. Something was still not there. I doggy bagged the shrimp scampi ate it the next day. It was much greasier the next day

    Prime rib ($32.99) covered in an overwhelming gravy sauce resembling the canned/jarred versions of gravy. Mocktail ($~4.75?)

    Yelp hasn't developed .5 ratings yet but Willowtree leans on the lower half of this scale. We were in the area and decided to try something new and discovered Willowtree after some yelping nearby. We made a reservation and got there on time and was promptly seated. Be aware though - the parking is off to the left of the restaurant on Ann st, and it's a one-way coming up to the restaurant. It's on a quieter and more desolate street, but the decor indoors is very nice. The service and setting gets a solid 4 stars, but the food was a bit lackluster. We had a party of 5 and I ordered the beef short ribs and a few of us ordered the prime rib. For appetizers we had the "colossal crab leg cocktail" that wasn't too colossal at all at a price tag of $19.95. Food review: Appetizer: Colossal Crab Leg Cocktail - not worth $19.95 as it was a bit of crab meat on a small plate with some cocktail sauce and saltine crackers, and some strips of romaine lettuce. Main courses: Beef short rib - 6/10. The beef ribs lacked flavor in itself but it was also overwhelmed by the gravy that resembles texture and taste out of the Campbell's cans during the holidays. Prime rib - ordered medium rare - came out a little more rare. Also lacked flavor and was covered in the same gravy they dub as "au jus". Was super disappointed that a cut of meat was so wasted being drowned in this sauce. This was also a 6/10. The mocktail was tasty, being that it was a bunch of fruit juices and some sprite but it was enjoyable. Overall, the interior decor was really nice as was our server, but the food was lacking in many categories. Bread was hot and fresh as well, so that actually may have been the highlight of the meal.

    A charming restaurant in downtown Stroudsburg. We had one of the evening's specials, eggplant parmigiana. Very different than the normal breaded eggplant parm swimming in marinara and cheese that you'll get at a typical Italian restaurant. It was delicious. The dish was eggplant and cherry tomatoes sautéed in a wine sauce. Very healthy ! The service was great. The setting is on a creek with lots of outdoor seating. Indoors the restaurant is furnished with antiques and very cozy. We loved it.

    Great looking corner bar on the East end of Main St. I didn't think it was looking like a kid…read morefriendly place for lunch, but the bartender Kyle was extremely friendly and insisted we were good to go. The inside has dark colors, but brightened a bit by the sunlight coming through the outer wall windows. I liked the wooden barrel lights over the bar, barrel wall sconces by the booths and the small bikes made out of pipes with Edison bulbs in them that hang over the front tables. The interior had exposed brick on the outer wall, brown painted patterned ceiling tiles and a gorgeous long antique wooden bar. We sat in one of the cushioned booths in the back. Their menu is small and simple with about ten apps and six handhelds. They have some uncommon menu items that peaked our interest like Goat Birria Tacos, Sloppy Joe's and Mahi Sliders. My wife and son ordered the Sloppy Joe's at $8 that came with seasoned beef and their "House Sloppy Sauce". They both enjoyed them and said the seasoning was good and sauce had a bit of a sweetness. My youngest son had a plain chicken wrap $13 bacon, ranch, LT and Cheddar Jack. It was sizeable and fresh. We ended up splitting it up later for an app before dinner so its shareable if you have a smaller stomach. Kyle recommended their Smash Burger - Smashed Crispy Beef Patty, Cheese, LTO $13. It was average and there was nothing bad to say about it. I enjoyed a Mosier's Mosaic IPA by ShawneeCraft with it. They have a small house cocktail list and their tap list is small, but they do have some craft offerings and cans/bottles. The kids watched sports on a couple of the several TV's around the bar and we had a nice relaxing lunch. I'd stop in again if in the area. Thanks Kyle!

The nachos were such a hearty app, I'm not sure how anyone can eat anything after that, so that was also a bonus.

    We went in for a small bite to eat and a drink! December 23rd Although as a steakhouse, it wasn't…read morevery loud. They also have a room in the back if you wanted to enjoy a cigar, which was quite pleasant. We were greeted and seated without a reservation. Our waiter was (Brian ) really hope that was his name ! He was wonderful, It was a light meal so we shared Caesar salad I had the pork chops. My husband had a filet mignon and my daughter just had stuffed potatoes. My daughter and I ordered dirty martinis which had the best olives in town ! which by the way are made on premises. Best! Dirty martini.! We didn't have plans for New Year's Eve so me and my husband decided to go back we called. They were able to fit us in for a table of two. It didn't disappoint. We had a complimentary toast of Prosecco. I ordered my dirty martini. I had a steak my husband had his filet mignon once again and our waiter was Brian again, of course I ordered the dirty martini which was outstanding ! as I wasn't in the mood for dessert my husband ordered a cheesecake , i ordered an espresso martini which was 10 out of 10 I I recommend going for dinner or just a drink and an appetizer it won't disappoint Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania doesn't have many places good to eat, but this is one of them!

    Food: Had a filet mignon with no add-ons which means it just comes with "butter" and a herb brush…read more Mine came out dry with no butter visible on the steak. Honestly, I think it's ridiculous to charge customers $2+ for a little thing of flavored butter when the steak already costs about $60. I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out medium. It really didn't have much flavor either. There wasn't that filet mignon crust you'd expect from a steakhouse. It needed to be better seasoned. Drinks: our waitress said that they have a mystery old-fashioned where the bartender just makes whatever kind of old-fashioned they wanna make. So I ordered that and it came with some cranberries in there, but honestly, the drink just tasted like an old-fashioned. There was no mystery about it. Service: it was fine nothing to write home about. The bar was quite full, and there were quite a few people crowded around and standing around the bar, but there weren't all that many people in tables. Kind of took away the ambience of the restaurant and made it feel more like a bar. We'll probably go back because it's the only steakhouse around that's not a franchise, but I did make filet mignon at home after this, and it was much better.
