CCR Cover Band

The entertainment and fun venue warrants a strong 5, the Food And Drug Administration middling 3, so on balance my experience warranted a solid 4. This is a 5 for those seeking a spot to let loose and enjoy music. My fish sandwich was tasty but very meager and the fries were cold and uninspiring. The beer was delicious, cold, and very reasonably priced for this kind of spot. The venue could not be more perfect for its purpose and a friendly crowd and great music made for a great experience.

What an amazing place! Went for comedian Jeff Leeson and got some drinks to enjoy during the show. The bartender and drinks alone make us want to go back! Not only was the staff amazing and helpful, but we also met some lovely locals! The interior has such a cool bar/theater vibe to it with a downstairs bar and seating area, then an upstairs viewing balcony. Highly recommend if you're in the area - we'll be returning as soon as we can!

Dear Colony: The woman checking for COVID vaccinations was an "A"*. Not like a New York rude "A"*, just a headband wearing, teacher type authoritative "A"* and that energy that doesn't fly with me. She may push around your Connecticut customers, not this guy. My wife carries her paper vax card to all events. I have a New York State Excelsior Pass that has a bar code along with the same name on my New York State license. She tells me what that?? I say it's my digital New York State Excelsior vaccination pass. She says: This isn't New York City, I need to show a card or I can't get into the event. What?! I crossed multiple bridges to get here, in the future, can you have someone up front who's more technically savvy? After I logged into the New York State website and showed this "A"* the date of my vaccinations, she allow us to enter the venue. Once inside, we have the place to ourselves. My wife walks towards the kitchen to order food and I go to the bar to order drinks. The Bar is 5 Yelp stars! The bartender & I start discussing what's on tap. I ask him about the Genesee Cream Ale. He said it's his personal favorite and pours me a taste? That's just great customer service. I grab a white wine for my wife and a proper pint of Genesee Cream Ale for myself. My wife didn't have the same experience. The special board has written Pierogies but didn't have them tonight. My wife ordered two French Onion Soups but only one was available? We're here at 6pm and you're out of soup?! She ordered for herself a Mulligatawny Soup. The soup was good but how can you be out of items when the doors first open?? The first floor of the club is intimate and the acoustics remind me of The Iridium in New York City. We saw Lindsay Webster perform and she sounded a-mazing. So the question is, will I return? I'd travel to Daryl's House Restaurant if the same artist is playing there before heading back up to this Woodstock location. *And "A" means "B"

Cauliflower torta - super unique and delicious.

Really excellent experience! I was in town visiting my brother and we came from Kingston to see The Lost Leaders. This hall is a really excellent live music venue - acoustics are great, the acts are awesome, and there's even a nice dance floor if you're feeling inspired. There's a varied, interesting menu (don't make your decision until you see the specials board in the back!), stiff drinks, good local beer options on tap, friendly staff, and a cool outdoor area if it's a pretty day. They do verify vaccination status at the door for indoor events, which is reassuring, and the process works really smoothly. Highly recommend.

I honestly don't know how we ended up here during our time Woodstock! There was a band playing our group wanted to see but we missed them and following the music was a burlesque show. When in Woodstock :) There was a $20 cover which we thought was way overpriced but we were able to score a deal for $10 a head. We didn't know what to expect and then came out the dancers! The stage is a little rickety, but the showgirls definitely worked with what they had. They even had a stripper pole! The dancers were entertaining - some better than others, but kept the crowded engaged during their performances. The time in between the dancers though did sometimes take long. We mainly hung upstairs but there was a full large bar as soon as you enter caring everything from cocktails, wine, beer and hard seltzers. Upstairs was like an old theater where you watched from the mezzanine. In addition, there was a separate library with a fireplace and pool table. It was a fun place to be for drinks with friends and the burlesque show was an entertaining bonus, albeit way overpriced.

We had great service and a fun spot to hangout. They had a fire, live music and drinks! You can sit at a picnic table out back.

Waiting for the show to begin.

It was your typical BLT. Perfect lunch! My sidekick got a tuna salad on a croissant. The thing was huge. Hers came with curly fries. We both got a fancy drink with cinnamon and whipped cream. I think it was whiskey coffee. I can't remember but it was yummy. Topped with an Italian wafer cookie. Nice staff, quick service.

When I saw the elegance of the setting and the formal menu, I assumed that it'd be a pricey meal, but I was more than happy to find out otherwise! We ordered the penne alla vodka, broiled salmon (which came with a heaping portion of fried rice and mashed potatoes), and the side of garlic bread. Based on the price of the garlic bread ($3.99), I thought it'd be just a piece or two on top of the pasta - but I was astonished to find out that it's the real deal, with slice after slice! The salmon was good and not too dry. The fried rice surprised me as an Asian dish in an Italian entrée, but the potatoes were creamy and yummy. But nothing in this meal could top the penne alla vodka - absolutely delicious. Full five stars! Servers were not overly attentive but professional, and the clean bathroom was a welcome sight!

We chose SILVIA because the menu is vegetable forward and as a vegetarian there were several dishes I had to try. Both my omni partner and I loved the mushroom lentil pâté, stuffed artichokes, and smoked beets we had for appetizers. The pâté is rich and flavorful and the pickled veggies it's served with are so good we only wished the dish came with more of them. The artichokes were perfectly tender and are stuffed with raclette and ramp (YUM), and the lemon breadcrumbs they're topped with pair so well with the cheese, and add a lovely brightness and zing. The smoked beets were also perfectly tender with a deep rich smokey flavor, and the chimichurri they come with does a nice job to add brightness (There's a theme here of rich flavors paired with brightness to make your palette pop). For an entrée we opted to share the local mushroom & pasta rags dish. the pasta rags were cooked nicely, soft but still toothy, and the mushrooms, black garlic butter, and thyme added a rich deep flavor. I was obsessed with the amount of parmigiano reggiano the pasta was topped with -- I could've eaten plate after plate of this dish. Their cocktail menu seems to be just as well thought out as their food with some unique offerings. I tried and enjoyed both Mezcal options. Service was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive. TL;DR: beautiful space, absolutely delicious food, plenty of vegetarian options, fun cocktails, great service. Go here.

Their menu is extensive and impressive; they have some all-star dishes on their permanent menu as well as a rotating daily menu with a legendary lineup of seasonal items. I really appreciate that they have dishes that are hard to come by such as lentil loaf and lasagna, and these never disappoint. The lentil loaf is unique; it is a little brick of lentils (not your traditional sliceable mush of breadcrumbs and minced veggies). It's very well seasoned and the tomato sauce on top is not overly sweet. The mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy and (very) garlicky greens make it a great meal. The lasagna is one of my favorite dishes. It's pasta-free and just made from layers of sliced zucchini and other veggies sandwiched with their delicious crumbly housemade cashew cheese. The herby tomato sauce is super flavorful. The side salad and garlic bread that accompany it are great also; an ultra comforting meal. We enjoyed the macro meal, although honestly not as much as the other dishes. The pan-seared tofu was delicious, but the arame seaweed salad was super seaweedy and salty - a bit much for me. I'm also not sure why they didn't serve it in a bowl, which would have made the rice etc. easier to eat. It seemed to be missing something - perhaps avocado, or a hunk of sweet potato. A few items at the Garden Cafe are a little perplexing, compared to how perfect most of their food is. The tempeh is just ok. It's heavily marinated in a sweet and salty sauce and kind of strange. Also disappointing that it's just a big brand tempeh rather than one of the local tempeh brands available in the area. The housemade focaccia is also bizarre. The texture made me think it was gluten-free (but it's not). Is it whole wheat?? If that's the case, awesome, but they should mention that on the menu, so you aren't taken aback when you don't get pillowy airy bread and instead get something flat and gray that could be mistaken for a biscotti. We LOVE the Garden Cafe and wish more places like this existed serving organic classic meals. We wish they would open a location in New York City, but until then, we will be making the drive!
