The food was a bit pricey for what we were given but we expected that given the area . Calamari was so chewy we opted to leave it , the server was kind and took it off of our bill (we did not ask ) . The oysters were freshly chucked to order and were so delicious. I had the steak frites and the steak was well charred and cooked to perfection . Truffle fries were also good , not too overpowering as some truffle can be . My husband had the roasted 1/2 chicken , it was okay , nothing to rave about . The mash was basic mash . We also had orange creamsicle crème brûlée, not our favorite but it does taste exactly as the name describes. The coconut sorbet was INCREDIBLE! Tasted so fresh with real coconut pieces . We requested the best seats with a privacy and whole it was private , the bench seating was not comfortable, you couldn't sit back comfortably while enjoying dinner . I would suggest to sit at tables with hard seats . There were fresh flowers on the table with mint leaves so it smelled wonderful . Lighting was initially only sky light as we sat outside but once it got dark we had a beautiful views of the lighted paths , and the restaurant lightning provided a romantic setting .

Once you walk into this rustic old home now converted into a cozy restaurant you immediately notice…read morethe character. The large wooden bar shows its age in the best way, giving off that classic, old-school feel. There are about 20 tables and roughly 10 or 15 bar stools in the main seating area. They do take reservations, and it's smart to make one if you want to guarantee a spot. We were greeted right away and served complimentary water and fresh sourdough bread with sea salt and olive oil. The sourdough was incredible honestly some of the best I've had. My wife ordered the chicken parm, which came in a large portion with fresh, house-made pasta. The sauce was excellent, truly one of the best I've ever tasted. The chicken cutlet was perfectly pounded, breaded, and crispy on the outside. I went with one of their standard pizzas a white pie with fresh garlic, honey, and other toppings that all worked beautifully together. Their sourdough pizza dough has been in the family for years from what we were told. The oven appears to be a brick oven (not sure if it's firewood or propane), but it has to be running at 1,000 degrees or more given the incredible crust. They also have a full bar with plenty of beer options. Parking is on a dirt lot across the street, with a small side lot as well. Service was excellent across the board. This is the type of spot that absolutely belongs on the TV show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I can't say enough about how much we loved the food.

My love affair with this place is over. We planned a birthday dinner with our family who drove over…read more5 hours to see us, and arrived at 6p to a chaotic greeting and reservation confusion. The start and basics were delicious as always, but then our dish came out with pasta that was so underdone, it couldn't be saved; if they put it back on the heat, the seafood would surely be overcooked. Then the server made us feel like we were in the wrong after having to send it back twice and finally agreeing to take the dish off the bill. No offer to bring us a different pasta dish or pizza. No offer of dessert for the table. We were so disappointed, and it started a birthday weekend off on the wrong foot.

Rice and beans on the side was a nice addition, but we needed much more salsa. The red was a good spice level, but we used it all up in the first half and needed more for rice and beans too. I find it odd when Mexican restaurants charge for more salsa, especially when it's a tablespoon or two and needed for flavor. Kind of funny the to go order didn't come with any napkins or a fork or spoon. The service was okay, they didn't seem too inserted in chatting.

It's not big inside, maybe a dozen tables in total, but it was thoughtfully decorated with a small bar in the back. We had the most energetic fun waitress. We ended up drinking red wine and sharing the microgreen salad and the boar bolognese. She actually steered us away from a second main given how big the entrées portions were and she was definitely right. It ended up being perfect for the 2 of us. The boar Bolognese was delicious with some of the best focaccia that I've had. Yes to Carbs on carbs! Will come back if I'm in the area.

I'm especially fortunate to have a family lake house only 30 minutes from this extraordinary gem, which quite frankly competes with--and exceeds--the finest restaurants anywhere. That said...OMGD! I had the best-prepared, freshest swordfish of my life last night--served with beautiful, garden-fresh garnishes. And yes...in Sullivan County - well away from the coast! We also sampled the tuna crudo and East Coast oysters. You'd swear they'd just been pulled from the water. Everything was that fresh and insanely good. The roasted poularde was perfectly cooked, juicy, beautifully seasoned, and locally sourced--from the same farm that supplies Thomas Keller's restaurants, Per Se and The French Laundry. I've dined at both, and Black Walnut wins! Dessert? The panna cotta is the finest I've ever had. My longtime favorite (until tonight) is in a three-generation family restaurant in Valeggio sul Mincio, Italy. ...And the pavlova here is well...indescribable--it will simply stop you in your tracks. Think this was a one-off lucky night? Think again! We dined here last month and last summer with somewhat different menus, and food, experience and service each sitting hit all the same highest bars! Camille's secret is she's personally in the kitchen cooking every night, with her sous-chef by her side. Her small open kitchen is in the same room serving only max 40 lucky guests. Try finding that degree of experience, passion and continuity in such an intimate setting. Compare that to our typical world of corporately owned franchises, rotating chefs, and far larger capacity restaurants with variable service. So...forget the Hamptons. Black Walnut is a joy...make Calicoon your next destination.
