It was poppin all night long w tables coming and going and a bar filled. We got the perfect time going around 6 and got a table for five immediately. All the food was carefully curated and not your run of the mill, generic Sysco brand. Everything we had was amazing and delicious, and with the prices being very reasonable- we fully enjoyed ourselves. One thing I did notice was the lack of service. The servers were bustling about but didn't check on our table enough. We all had one drink and had they checked in more we all would have had seconds and maybe a third. That's the only light complaint bc otherwise everything was pristine and cozy.

The place is still charming as ever, with excellent beverages and bites in a funky garden setting behind a Main Street storefront. Today we had a lovely glass of orange wine -- I'm no wine connoisseur so won't attempt to describe it, but it was enjoyable.

We lucked out on a strong array of vegetarian options since there was some issue with the pork supplier. We had a peanut tostada! and two kinds of veg tamales, one of which was made from red corn masa. All were as delicious as they were unusual. There is no table service anymore; you order at the bar and at the food tent, but everyone is friendly and courteous. Music was terrific, which I recall from last year. Just relaxing, feel good, low key tunes. Just a little chill happy making afternoon snack. Highly recommended.

They had whole smoked trout with veggies as one of their specials today and my pups and I were in heaven. For $30 a platter, there was no hesitation to order another. The first plate was locked clean. My pups are now napping and likely dreaming of what they just experienced. Staff are warm and easy-going. There is lovely live music being played 5 feet in front of us. The outdoor wood urine oven, fresh vegetables and lovely drinks add to the entire experience. Hidden gem!

Weird experience, and not in a good way. Saw the Shepard Hills Tavern website and Instagram posts,…read morethought it looked good so booked a rez on Opentable for a Thursday night when they were supposedly serving dinner. One must navigate a badly graded narrow gravel road with several hairpin twists and turns and no lighting to get there. Not what I expected. The lovely stone clubhouse, verdant golf course and lush flowers were welcome sights. We were greeted by a pleasant young server and shown to an outside table. Unfortunately the metal table had no covering and was quite dirty; even worse were the thin red chair pads that smelled of some very unpleasant PP-like substance. Eww. Since all of the other tables looked similar or were occupied and service was slow, we thought we'd stay put and make the best of it - but also planned to shower in hot water soon afterward. We were given single sheet paper menus showing a limited selection, but our hopes were raised (and then dashed) when we saw the statement "ask your server about dinner specials and desserts." Well we asked - only to be told there were no such offerings except maybe on weekends. I had a nice fresh Greek salad and tiny dried out chicken wings. Hubby had a bland grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Iced tea tasted canned not brewed. We finished our meals, and as night descended we were the only ones left outside with our server MIA. After over 15 minutes of waiting we finally went inside the clubhouse to find our server socializing among a hopping bar scene of locals. Guess she forgot about us. While some restaurants are using post-COVID staff shortages as an excuse for slow and limited service, this bizarre experience went way beyond that rationale. Accordingly, we we will not risk life or limb to brave the winding road up to Shepard Hills Tavern again anytime soon.

It was perfect for our group, with cute, quirky decor, including a large bench/space by the door that was perfect for hanging bags and coats, and for stashing our luggage. Dinner was a treat. The town of Andes is small and charming, and we ate on the porch with views of the main street through town. The food was delicious - so fresh and flavorful. We got a shrimp cocktail starter, a burger, fish and chips and a crab cake platter. All the dishes were high quality with great portion sizes. I'd recommend the hotel and the restaurant for couples and families. There's a cute thrift shop right by the hotel, and a diner and a coffee shop on the main street. This was a great home base for exploring the area, including Cooperstown and the Ommegang Brewery.

The hotel itself is cozy, full of charming little spaces, and we truly felt pampered throughout our stay. It's pet-friendly (huge plus!), and everyone was incredibly kind to my dog--he had the best time exploring the hiking trails with me. The vibe is very relaxed, peaceful, and the perfect place to disconnect from the world. Now for the real star of the show: the food. We did the tasting menu and it was so good. I loved the intention behind each dish and how they highlighted seasonal ingredients and the local farm sources. My personal favorites were the mushroom dish and the venison--both were phenomenal. The staff was warm, attentive, and did a great job walking us through each course. A few small observations: The dining room was a little too dark--I love seeing my food, especially when it's so beautifully presented. Since it was my birthday, I expected a bit more than a lone candle. No cookie, treat, or even a candle placed on top of dessert--it just didn't feel special. Dessert wasn't for me. It was somewhere between a milkshake and ice cream, but with a strange mochi-like texture and an overpowering amount of lavender. It felt like eating soap. The quail course tasted amazing, but the presentation wasn't appealing. It looked a bit messy, and leaving the head on (even though it wasn't edible) felt off. That said, everything was incredible--thoughtfully crafted, delicious, and visually stunning. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite and the whole experience. Highly recommend--can't wait to return!

My party of 4 was a little early, so we had a drink in the tavern downstairs first; bartender made a great whisky sour. For dinner, we did the a la carte menu. I tried: + Cabbage + Ricotta toast + Grilled broccoli + Mangalista pork chop + Ricotta dumpling + Cheeseburger + Spiced cake The highlights were the cabbage, pork chop and burger. Overall I thought the food was excellent, though I wished they offered sides (especially some type of a potato for the burger). Would have gladly paid for additional sides a la carte.
