It's quaint but feels current, and very walkable. We arrived around 430P and had no issues with parking right across the street. Brandon with the aviation shades, was bartending and doing all the things. He was very nice. We ordered drinks and food with him, and he brought our order to our table. We kept the food order simple. Everything was really good and we shared all of the dishes. Wings - I ordered them sin salsa because I just love a good naked wing Street Corn Fries - these were really good, messy but good Meat & Cheese Board - simple charcuterie Pear & Truffle Flatbread - goat cheese, arugula, basil pine-nut pesto, and a balsamic glaze. This was amazing They have a decent variety of beers on and off tap, and a full bar. I had one brew with my food and it was all good. The vibe is super chill and laid back. The signage is funny, and bathroom is clean. They have a nice sized indoor/outdoor space, and host weekly events. I would definitely love to come back. When we finished up with our kayaking, we passed by again, and the place got packed and was bustling, even on a Thursday evening. Now that our friend had moved to the area, we have a good reason to visit more often. The area is a nice escape from the city.

The chicken was so crispy and well done and the chili sesame mayo was amazing. The Dutch is a very vibey spot for dinner, drinks, and watching sports or hanging out with friends! We came here for a date night and the food was delicious. Aside from the chicken sandwich, we also ordered the hot pretzels with beer cheese and the chicken pot pie. Everything was fantastic. They also have a great selection of drinks and the seasonal pumpkin ale was so good and you can never miss with the Hudson North cider. The bartenders were super chill and nice and everything came out timely. Will definitely be back and I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

Id highly recommend coming with a group or even solo and enjoying the place!

Perfect little lunch after a day of strolling and shopping in saugerties…read more We decided on a few small Plates and split the jerk chicken sandwich. The focaccia bread that the sandwich was served as and accompanied the magic mushrooms- incredible. Meant to ask if it's baked in house but forgot- but inspired to start baking some!! The Asian wings are probably the best wings I've ever had. At first I was afraid I wouldn't care for them as they seemed to have a strong all spice aroma but the blend of spices is just perfect. Disco fries were very tasty- would definitely go for the black bean chili after tasting it on the disco fries. The mushrooms are a bit heavy on the thyme but delicious. Wish yelp allowed half stars as this would be a solid 4.5 but being they don't giving it a full 5. Oh and great service, comfy relaxing atmosphere.

We've yet to run into an issue finding a seat, the food is delicious, the portions are monstrous, and the prices are utterly reasonable in this economy. Their menu offerings veer toward Tex-Mex, and I'd suggest playing in that sandbox, especially for first-timers. In my limited experience, that's where their kitchen truly shines. Special mention for the birria tacos platter, which is plenty of food for two people, unless you're both ravenous. The venue seems to get some reliable lunch traffic, and staff are constantly bustling. On our first visit, we were served by one of the co-owners, who was wonderfully personable and attentive, even when she was very clearly hustling around making sure things were running smoothly. During our most recent visit, she wasn't present, and I felt like we spent a good bit of time trying to flag down a server--both to put in an order, and again when we were ready to pay our bill. I've certainly heard from multiple proprietors in the region that staffing is a bit of a headache, so it stands to reason that Main Street Restaurant isn't immune. This is a lovely representation of the charming local gems you can find in Saugerties. Considering its small geographical footprint, this hamlet punches way about its weight class in terms of character and quality.

Even though it is a classy setting with views of the dam in the outdoor seating area, they are also very family friendly. They have a kids menu and their drinks came with cute plastic cartoon straw cups. The $17 option comes with ice cream for the kids too. This place could have easily gotten 5 stars if the food wasn't all overly salty (even my kids didn't even eat their fries). It's a pity because everything was plated so beautifully. Their octopus appetizer was not fresh and their ahi tuna was overcooked. When our waiter took our order he didn't ask what our kids wanted to drink even though a drink came with the kids, and we were charged $4 for each when we ordered them drinks. They quickly corrected it when we pointed it out but we also had to remind them about the kids' ice cream (which they mixed up the kids' order too). They did waive the cake cutting fee as we had a party of 10. The only dish that was enjoyable was their roast chicken with black rice. Nevertheless, it is still a nice place to visit if you want a place to relax with a beautiful atmosphere and welcoming to families. The staff were all very friendly and kind.

Pros: Beautiful venue, amazing view of the little waterfall outside, great service from the staff…read more If you stay at the hotel you get a little voucher for a free wine for dinner or cocktail for brunch (per guest). I thought, wow what a great deal! It gets you in the door. Cons: Food. The meal fell short. Management didn't train staff on menu details, not blaming the server but if I ask details like the brand of ice cream or about the coffee I'd hope they knew where things were sourced from. (This is coming from someone who was a server and had to know these details, so don't come for me!) We ordered the charcuterie board which was pretty good. Then it kinda went downhill. My vegetable lasagna was...strange. Some bites were good, then after a while I thought...is this even pasta? The dough was thick like baked pizza bread with chunks of vegetables loaded in layers. Was it homemade pasta? If so, it was awful. The sauce for the crispy salsa verde half chicken was too vinegar-y. The black bean salsa was black beans with mashed avocado? Like a guacamole sauce? Big sigh. Next, dessert--even though the server recommended the peachy empanadas we chose the ice cream sandwich flight. It arrived, 3 ugly little sandwiches. I thought, maybe it'll taste deliciously homemade! Hopeful, I took a bite of the middle one and gagged. I said, maybe it's not my flavor. Next sandwich. Took a bite, discreetly spat it out. The server apologized profusely when we told her it was no good--I did feel bad. She didn't make it, not her fault. So she offered us something else. We chose her recommendation--the peachy empanadas. Oh boy! Listen...Peaches are in season, why are the peaches in this empanada crunchy??? The empanada dough was crispy outside and raw and doughy inside. When you bite it it stretches. The ice cream was great though. Tasted like vanilla haagen-dazs. I asked, is this haagen-dazs? She wasn't sure. Ayiyay, this is a note for management. Anyway, empanadas were also a bust. I was ready to leave so we paid and left. The chef and pastry chef attended CIA, I had high hopes for this beautiful restaurant. If I ever come back it will be for a cocktail and the view. Maybe brunch. Maybe not. Also--Someone mentioned Miss Lucy's does a better job. I went to both of these establishments and agree.

I tried both places and they were 100% correct. You can order anything and be happy but you HAVE to try their cobbler or bread pudding, so check out their dessert board. Also, reservations are highly recommended--I think I saw them have to turn people away during their dinner rush. Cheers!
