(Note that they are often not open at dinner time.)…read morewe were told that the food and service were good and that they had a few unusual local ingredients incorporated into their menu. For this reason, I decided to go with an Arnold Bennet skillet that included smoked trout. If you at all like the thought of lox and eggs, then you definitely need to try this one. It also had Parmesan, chives, and crème fraiche mixed in. The taste of this combination on a piece of toast was delicious! And something I would happily enjoy again and at reasonable prices. Plus, it was enough food that I finished it for breakfast the next morning. The seating area looks and feels like a typical NY diner. Our waitress was quick and efficient and the coffee was good and fresh. Especially with the limited number of dining locations in the Catskills area, Phoenicia diner is definitely worth a stop.

Set your expectation to 'diner' level and you will get far more than you expect out of each dish. It's also an over all pleasant environment with a great view and our door seating and service that gets you what you need. If you have vegan eaters in your group, they have an additional vegan menu if you ask for it.

But somewhere in the last few months, the kitchen's lost its touch. Two weeks ago my pasta came out looking rich and promising, but the cheese had clearly been melted ages before- cold, congealed and sad by the time it hit the table. I had to send it back just to get it warmed. Then came their famous chocolate ganache balls we love with strawberry coulis. Except now, the scoops are deformed with zero coulis and replaced with caramel instead. Why change something that worked so well? Hubs and I thought maybe it was just an off night. Came back Halloween weekend with my daughter, hoping for some sort of redemption. Nope. Same story. Plus the Vegetarian hand pies my kid and I ordered were cold. The only thing still holding this place up is the nice menu selections that only reads well on paper and for sure, their cocktails: strong and creative.-

This was the BEST bolognese I have ever had. The noodles were homemade and cooked perfectly. The meat was delicious and savory. I will definitely be back for this dish. The food was served promptly and the service was polite and friendly. It is pub style, so you order from the bar and then they bring the food to you. The ambiance was charming and dimly lit. They had indoor and outdoor seating. They also had a very nice pool table.

Both the entrees and standalone breads are worth going out of your way for. How can they make something as simple as grilled cheese so incredibly delicious? Salads made with real vegetables, nary an iceberg leaf in sight? Fantastic avocado toast that will make you forget any other such concoction you've had elsewhere? We haven't even tried the outside specialty pizza stand, because we love all the things inside so much. 100% go for the specials as available -- they do vary the menu enough to make it so you might see something different on it with every repeat visit. Throw in incredibly pleasant service, and a sort of party-like-summer-will-never end casual ambiance, outdoor seating but really nice air conditioning inside, and rather stylish restrooms, what more do you need? How about WiFi, in an area with a lot of dead cell areas? Just be aware parking can be at a bit of a premium during the busy summer months, and it's a weird turn onto the old state road in order to get there.

We were tucked away in an indoor/outdoor area with gorgeous orange comfy chairs. We did not come in with a reservation. Again this place was a stumbled upon gem. We looked online for a nice place to go for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. He loves moose and we love farm to table food. The server helped us decide what to get for drinks, both delicious. The food.....holy cow. Heavenly. Our two meals tasted so vastly different so it was great that we were each able to sample the other's and they were both SO tasty. We asked our server for a special dessert for his birthday, she asked if we liked bananas and we enthusiastically said yes. Next thing we know, this decadent warm banana and caramel creation is coming towards us with a giant sparkler. This was probably hands down....one of the best desserts I have ever had in my life. I would make the trip back up here solely for that! Should we ever find ourselves back up in the Catskills, this will ABSOLUTELY be on our list of places to revisit.

It seems like you could get almost everything you need right here. They offered sweet morning pastries, there was a selection of cakes and desserts to bring back to our accommodations for later, and they offered a cooked breakfast and lunch (and brunch!) menu. The coffee was great, and we took some beans home. If you live locally, I read that they also offer free used coffee grinds to take home to your garden. My favorite part of the cafe, is that the donut flavors rotate, making things very interesting. I absolutely loved my little lemon poppyseed donut, but when the warm cinnamon sugar ones came right out of the oven, they absolutely stole the show. The burger for lunch was delightful, and the quiche was quite lovely as well. Highly recommend stopping in, no matter the occasion you will leave feeling refreshed with a wonderful bite to eat.

We called ahead about a reservation, and the person on the phone couldn't have been nicer, fitting us in on short notice without a hitch. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the kind of place where you can settle in and enjoy your meal. Our waitress, Isabella, was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The food didn't disappoint either--my husband ordered the cowboy steak, and I had the chicken saltimbocca, and both were excellent. If you're in the area and looking for a reliable, enjoyable meal, this is definitely a place worth stopping into.

The steak was very good, much better than I expected, and came just as I ordered, medium. I also ordered broccoli rabe because I just didn't really believe they had it. It was never brought out, and no mention was made - but it didn't show up on my bill. Left a fat tip and walked out happy. Recommend.

We were seated right away and had the option to choose from their brunch or lunch menu. There's something for just about everyone, including vegan options. I opted for a Spicy Luna cocktail, my partner selecting a draft beer. The cocktail was excellent with the perfect kick of spice. We opted to have Lenny B's Smoke Trout Salad, the French Onion soup and split the Smoked Duck Quesadilla. The food came out in a timely manner, made with fresh ingredients, and was very tasty. Between the food, the service and the ambiance, if we lived locally, we'd definitely come back.
