    Dinner
    Paul W.

    I had a great lobster roll in a town where you can't see the ocean. Great, not good. It may have been the best I ever had. I'm out driving yesterday afternoon with my beautiful wife look at the leaves turn color on Platts Cove Road. It's a seasonal road for a very good reason: it winds like an alarm clock. Our route takes us past the lake and my wife wants some photos. The chef Tim was outside so I started speaking with him. Place was owned by the man who owns the Grey Lady in Montauk on Long Island. He told me what was on the menu. I decided to try dinner there that night. Good choice. The bride had the fried shrimp: batter was light and crispy. Cocktail sauce was fresh and homemade. Yum. I had a massive lobster roll. I mean the roll was the usual size, but there was a whole claw of juicy delicious lobster with drawn butter sitting on that bun. You can't usually get decent seafood in the Catskills. But you can here. And, hell: it's next to a pretty lake and has outdoor seating. Highest recommendation.

    I came all the way from Chicago for the fried whiting and it was worth it! Great atmosphere.

    Amazing food. Lobster and crab rolls are legit. Full bar with a rotating local beer selection. Can't recommend enough.

    I'm not sure where this place went, and I'm praying it opens back up. Tied with Selena's for best grilled cheese on the mountain top.

    The small $39 lobster roll is a great value - not.

    Last Chance was hoppin' when we stopped by for a late lunch. Upon entry, a sign was spotted telling…read morediners to wait to be seated. But several awkward minutes passed and another party came inside before anyone greeted and escorted us to a table. Oddly, a runner walked by the entrance a few times but didn't acknowledge us and seemed to avoid eye contact. Prices were were a hair higher than expected, but thankfully the portions were filling. I went with the tavern steak sandwich ($22). The fries were the steak kind but not too fat and wedge-y. There was a totally reasonable amount of Muenster and steak, and I found that the sandwich didn't really need the accompanying steak sauce. The mac & cheese ($14) was a delightful appetizer made with a whopping five different cheeses! Last Chance mentions both antiques and cheese in its name so we had to investigate both. Instead of a separate shop, the antiques are all around the restaurant, and our server said some are for sale and some belong to the owner's private collection but he seems possibly open to offers. The cheese and gifts are in an area on the other side of the bar, with the cheese behind a counter. I thought the cheese collection would be larger and have more NY options, but it was still a solid selection. If you plan on purchasing any candy or other treats after your meal, just let your server know so you can take your bill over there.

    Last Chance is an eclectic combination of antique store, cheese monger and pub, fusing quirky…read moreinterior decoration with traditional pub style and scattered service. The cheese selection was certainly the highlight food wise justifying the three stars for me. Shrimp on the salad were not grilled and the Burger didn't not arrive as ordered.

Their baked goods- yes, the cinnamon rolls but don't overlook the seasonal GF cake they have- dates, cranberries- it's always delicious. The lentil bowl or the Lockwood are both savory morning choices and hit the right flavors and the scene is ... always the scene. Servers get the food and coffees out quickly even when it's busy

    This is a tough review because I genuinely wanted to give this place a 5/5…read more I worked with the team to cater brunch for my fiancé's birthday and the planning process was fantastic. Communication was seamless, they helped create a custom birthday cake with flavors I requested, and the entire ordering experience was smooth and stress-free. The food was outstanding. From the bread and cinnamon rolls to the focaccia and cake, everything was fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with our group. Every item felt thoughtfully made, and it was clear why so many people rave about their bakery. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the pickup experience. I had a prepaid order of over $250 scheduled for 8:00 a.m. pickup, right when the café opened. We arrived about 15 minutes early.. because it was raining and simply hoped to wait somewhere covered until pickup time. We weren't expecting the order early or asking anyone to rush. Given the size of the order, the custom cake, and the fact that I had brought someone with me to help carry everything, we just wanted to avoid standing outside in the rain. When I knocked on the door, I could see several staff members inside. One employee looked at us and gestured toward the clock, essentially pointing out that they weren't open yet. I completely understand that we arrived early, and I respect opening hours. What bothered me was how the situation was handled. A simple "We'll be open at 8" or "Sorry, we can't let anyone in until opening" would have been perfectly reasonable. Instead, the interaction felt unnecessarily cold. Even once we were inside, the employee helping us came across as dismissive and unwelcoming. It was especially disappointing because every interaction I'd had over email leading up to the event had been so thoughtful, friendly, and accommodating. The food was exceptional, and the planning process was excellent. I just wish the same level of hospitality had carried through to the pickup experience. Had that interaction been handled with a bit more warmth, this would have easily been a 5-star review. Ratings: * Food & ambiance: 10/10 * Communication email: 10/10 * Pickup Experience: 4/10
