Oh What A Delightful Treat...!! From the moment you walk in, you glean that this restaurant and inn is a very special place. The beautiful dark wood and crackling fireplace create a comfy and elegant ambiance that sets the tone for an unforgettable culinary experience. Our decision to come on a Saturday night was last minute, so the only way to get in was to arrive at 5 pm when they open and sit at the bar. Oh and what a treat and delight that proved to be!! Devon Whittaker, the mixologist, was about to begin a stint at Bard College on a Fulbright Scholarship to study some aspect of the neurosciences. Like Tom Cruise in the movie Cocktail, he dazzled us with his physical artistry and quenched our thirst for delicious drinks both with and without alcohol. It was a true "umbrella" drinker's (me) paradise. The food, exquisitely prepared by Chef Corwin Cave, was understatedly absolutely sublimely delicious. From the liver pate and house special lobster delight appetizer with oh so freshly baked bread, to the just perfectly prepared lamb shank as well as Wagyu beef and fish dish, our taste buds and nasal receptors were stimulated and satisfied to the max. Not to be left out was the wonderful assortment of deserts worth every calorie taken in. Our only regret was in leaving this culinary sanctuary which became tolerable knowing that the restaurant was only a reservation and two hour drive from NYC away... read more

Food: 5/5 I'd give Deer Mountain's food a 6/5 if I could. We had Logan's Sourdough Focaccia ($10), Stracciatella dip ($14), Speck ($8) and Nimbus ($11), Smoked Trout & Corn Fritters ($14), and Lamb Shank ($52). We started with the focaccia, stracciatella dip, and charcuterie. The stracciatella was just fun. I've had a great stracciatella gelato before, and this dip was like same but as a dip for bread. Nutty, creamy, and a bit chocolatey balanced. Our charcuterie came paired with some figs, peppers, and mustard. The trout and corn fritters were amazing. It's like a super airy, crispy seafood hushpuppy. It's kinda tucked away under Standard Fare of the menu, but it is a must order. The lamb shank was also very good. There is no gaminess in the meat. The sauce was a nice balance of sweet and tart from the plum and berries. Service: 5/5 No complaints with service. Our waiter was very accommodating and explain each dish we ordered to us and gave good recommendations. Drinks and food all came out pretty quickly. Ambience: 5/5 The place is called Deer Mountain Inn and that's exactly how it felt. The wooden interior, fireplace, deer head on the wall, chandelier, carpeting really made this feel like an inn. read more

Deer Mountain Inn was unique place to visit. The moment you arrive, warm greeting with welcome cookie and cheese makes you to feel special. The inn was cozy, woodsy ski lodge vibe. Our room was very comfortable. We loved wandering the trails around the property. Staffs were exceptional and consistently going above and beyond to make sure we enjoy our statz Dinner was truly a highlight. The chicken, salad, steak and cocktails were one of the best ive had in Westchester area. The foods were sourced locally, everything was fresh and delicious. This Inn is dog friendly. Our dog had so much fun walking the trails around the property. read more

The restaurant is such a cozy and warm feel. The menu is very eclectic and feels very experimental. Not in a bad way, but I cannot say it was my favorite food wise. Our drinks were super yummy and the staff and service was very kind and helpful throughout. read more

My partner and I love to stop by for a drink and bar bites. We've stopped by 4-5x over the past year, each with more anticipation prior to our arrival. We've come to absolutely LOVE the ambiance, service and more than anything, the flavor. During our first visit, we enjoyed a couple drinks.. we didn't fall in love with the place, but it caught our attention. We visited a month later and met Kyyeah, or as we like to say, Ky-HELL-YEAH (purposely corny)! Since then, Ky has simply made us feel like a part of the establishment.. he's introduced new menu options with enthusiastic detail and his recs NEVER fail. During our latest visit, we walked in without a reservation, but were greeted warmly and given an accurate wait time. When seated we enjoyed a delicious Pinot Noir WHITE wine, a Honeysuckle cocktail and a plethora of delicious appetizers that we've come to love. Although Ky wasn't our server he made sure to stop by, say hello and send over some delicious seasonal olives. Our actual server, Nima, was as welcoming as could be.. frequently ensuring our questions were answered and we had no requests unmet. All in all, just an absolute joy of an evening every single time. Simply cannot wait for our next visit! read more

Had a really exceptional meal here. Terrific, attentive service and every dish was perfectly conceived and executed. The bread service was divine - truly some of the best sourdough I've ever had. The spreads you can select were wonderful, and I'd specifically call out the stracciatella. Beautifully creamy, mild cheese with a pop of acidic sweetness from husk cherries, with a touch or crunch and smoke from pistachio. Every dish was like this, with ingredients thoughtfully and masterfully combined. We split several small plates, all great but out favorite was the new potato chowder. Delicious! Don't neglect the house made sorbets for dessert. read more

Dear Deer Mountain Inn, you are so cozy and you fulfilled my winter dream. Loved your owl trinkets and my cocktail in an owl mug. Your cheeseboard was delicious. Your chocolate chip cookies at the front desk were delicious. See you next year. read more

Special place run by special people with special chefs cooking up special food. Seriously one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. It's definitely pricey but at least the food, drinks, and service back it up. I wasn't even going to leave a review because I don't want this place to be too crowded but I have to give them the props they deserve. Can't wait to come back! read more

Amazing experience for my partner's birthday dinner. We walked in mto this cozy atmosphere, sat down, and they had written a happy birthday note which I thought was so thoughtful. Our waiter (shoutout to Kyiah) was phenomenal and so helpful with the menu. He explained every little detail and was very personable. Food was spectacular and for the quality, I do think this restaurant is reasonably priced, especially considering they comped our dessert for my boyfriend's birthday. Couldn't have asked for a better dinner. We will definitely be back! read more

Well I have to say this is a find. Greg and I believe her name was Kate were awesome and welcoming. The staff was brilliant. The atmosphere will blow you away. We got a drink and walked the grounds. You have to do this. After we sat on a little private bench and just took it all in. So the interior is amazing but the grounds rival it. Don't Forget the food. It was all delicious and worth going. I will be back with guests. I can't wait to do it again. The trout was amazing read more

Everything about this place was amazing! Great people, Service and yummy food. Our cabin was so dreamy. Fabulous experience

What a hidden gem. Cozy, warm, speakeasy-ish. Staff is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. Innovative cocktail program and delicious food.

Had an incredible stay at Deer Mountain Inn. The space is decorated so well--staying true to the style of a rustic, old school mountain lodge with elevated touches to make it feel subtly modern. The rooms are similarly cozy, and the communal spaces like the attic and sitting areas are welcoming and inviting. I also the good fortune to eat dinner at the Inn. Came down to the bar 40 minutes before the reservation for cocktails, which were all delicious. Food was all very fresh and tasty--loved that they included the list of farms from where the food was sourced on the back of the menu. The housemade focaccia was some of the best I've ever had; the braised pork shoulder with brussells fell apart and was perfectly autumnal; and the smoked chicken was cooked perfectly with lemon thyme fingerlings. Could not recommend this spot more. read more

The old world cabin aesthetic and decor was delightful. Before we entered there was a quaint fire burning out front that we took a second to warm our hands by. There didn't seem to be a bad seat in the restaurant. Drink selection was grand. I had a robust local brown ale perfect for the winter, my wife had a 2014 Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley. We started with the cheese plate that were all local and wonderful. I had the half chicken as a main course that was impressive, it was kind of half barbecue half Italian seasoning. My wife had the pasta dish that was good but lacked the flavor pizazz that we were expecting. Overall an incredible experience. Couldn't recommend it more. read more

Deer Mountain Inn impressed my squad of women warriors with delicious cocktails, yummy food, and stellar service. Special thanks to Manager Jonny Humble and his team, including Caio (sp?) who made this evening extra special. If you love good food and beverages and the ambience of a turn of two centuries inn, I encourage you to plan a visit for dinner or a weekend stay. The inn is beautiful, and the grounds are sublime! read more

We booked this place for a bachelorette party of 6. They gave us a table towards the back patio. The entire inside is gorgeous and the vibe of the place was immaculate. The drinks were the best part of the whole dinner. Everything we ordered from the bar was delicious and really strong. The service was okay. Our waiter, Bart, was really nice and attentive. Although for some reason when we kept ordering drinks, he would walk away to put the order in before the whole table spoke to him so for the future I'd recommend to have one person give all the orders at once. The dinner was unfortunately not our favorite part of the experience but still fine. We got a few cheese boards for the table with salad and bread which was delicious. However, a few of us ordered the steak which came with a really strong anchovy butter. The anchovy butter was not printed on the menu so it came as such a surprise and for those of us who ordered it, we collectively hate anchovies making the steak inedible. Further, the chicken was a bit cold and the pork shoulder was quite small for the price of the plate. That being said, when we spoke to the manager about the mishap and showed him that the menu did not list the steak as having anchovy butter, they comped the steak from our bill. They also gave our brides free dessert! We have to compliment the manager and staff for listening to our concerns and being so kind about it. In terms of whether we'd recommend the place, I think it would be great for drinks and if you happen to like what's on their limited menu, then great for dinner and dessert. I would definitely come here again for the drinks and service but would probably get dinner somewhere else. read more

Incredible restaurant! Came here with a group of 9 and every single dish was incredible. The setting is amazing... truly feels like you are in a mountain inn... the service was great too.

The Arts and Crafts style of the DMI (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/deer-mountain-inn-tannersville?select=RFGvc8tYQ-SN_9q0FP10Ew) has always been attuned to the extraordinary natural beauty of the Mountaintop, but now the food and drinks are extraordinary too. Attended another special family event here on Memorial Day weekend. This installment was the best by far -- the new owners and staff finally have the formula right -- 5 stars worth. The manager (Brian) and his uber cool mixologist (Darren) made all feel at home in an instant. Hospitality oozed -- and Darren is spectacularly skilled at lining up fine tastings of spirits and mixed drinks. (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/deer-mountain-inn-tannersville?select=BCVRW9ZOjgK91XngujUAsQ) His signature lavender gin gimlet was killer. (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/deer-mountain-inn-tannersville?select=BZuDt8CrL7vjOhJcqbAL3Q) The dated polish/austrian style party menu has yielded to a more contemporary American take on traditional favorites. Classic roasted beet salad (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/deer-mountain-inn-tannersville?select=MbfYnpmgvPbcaPem9mkJFg) was amped up with aged manchego, meyer lemon dressing and toasted almonds. It looked beautiful and was the perfect starter -- tart, salty, earthy and sweet with enough texture to get all the taste buds roaring. The brook trout and roast chicken mains showcased the chef's skill with searing and roasting, and his choice of accompaniments rounded out flavors successfully. For instance, the crispy skinned trout (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/deer-mountain-inn-tannersville?select=Fn5gacqRDlGBQ6gzpcIsqg) was served over a farotto that was toothsome, creamy and rich with mushroom flavor, served alongside a fragrant bagna cauda that augmented the richness, but also played as a nice up tempo condiment to the fish and roasted root vegetables. This symphony of flavors and textures was my favorite. A perfectly seared/roasted chicken breast (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/deer-mountain-inn-tannersville?select=tncezAOQquH5ywST_wApyw) was paired with chard and a mild foie gras/truffle veloute -- which added complexity and depth of flavor to a crisped but relatively bland piece of chicken. Roasted pecans and mushrooms provided a textural interest and a woodsy finish. My only quibble was with dessert -- a flourless chocolate torte (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/deer-mountain-inn-tannersville?select=Um80w4DWWOl9elkEgFCRlw). More ganache than torte, it bogged down in a sticky marshmallow base and a salted caramel ice cream -- none of which ate well together. I got a sense that s'mores inspired the dessert, but texture (and a campfire) were missing. I have never taken advantage of the lodging here because we live nearby -- but from what I have seen and heard over many years -- that too is a treat! Don't miss the Deer Mountain Inn when visiting the Mountaintop. It is a refined experience in a historically laid back place that will satisfy even the most discriminating palate and aesthetic. read more

Ambiance gets a five no doubt. We found the menu limiting and the food disappointing. The size of their 'pour' for drinks is meager to say the least. When buying wine by the glass beware you are paying full price for 4 oz size! Also, I do so wish someone would teach these young waitresses and waiters how to politely pause before interrupting the conversation and not burst up to the table and demand your attention. read more

La tropikitchen was en experience i took great pride in as a Latino. Seeing our culture take another huge step in the culinary aspect is so heartwarming and makes me excited to see what will come in the future for Estefania. Luckily we were able to catch La Tropikitchen before they finished their pop up, we drove 2 hours from queens just to try this delicious cuisine and it was completely worth it. My biggest recommendation is go have the chicharrón, Estefania's technique to cook the pork is unlike any other chicharrón I've ever had in queens, mind you northern boulevard is like the Mecca of Colombian food but they are in trouble when the Brooklyn location opens because her food is unlike anything I've ever had before, authentic Colombian with a sexy twist. It's almost poetry, it is poetry. Flavors far beyond the realm of possibilities. Estefania is a fearless chef and i look forward to her success, attached are some of the delicious pictures unfortunately i did not get a picture of the most tender delicious tamarind panela ribs but i know I'll be seeing her again! Thanks for an amazing experience we all loved it!! read more

One of the best meals of my life. Every dish was amazing and unique. The service was excellent and the ambiance was perfect.

Let's break this down: Ambiance gets a 5. Food gets a 3. Service gets a 1. Been coming here for years, since I was a kid. Wait staff was always extremely professional and well informed about their offerings. Since change of ownership, seems like quality has taken a hit. For upscale restaurant, relationship with server is important and need to feel confident they'll point you in right direction. We were waited on by at least 3 different people and main server struggled to give basic description of entrees and desserts. I didn't feel confident in her recommendations. This place was ripe for new ownership and a rebrand to meet the growing demand for trendy upscale restaurants in the Catskills. But unfortunately, they missed the mark here. With a hipster takeover, often comes the sacrifice of quality over the desire to curate an aesthetic and attempts to radically challenge tradition which tends to emphasize trendy over classic. The old Deer Mountain Inn was cool and upscale without even trying. The new owners seem like they're trying a little too hard. I'll still continue to come here since it's undoubtedly the coolest and most authentic setting for a restaurant on the mountaintop. However, I hope the food and service can match that same authenticity the Deer Mountain Inn has long been known for. read more

Probably the best on the "mountain", had our anniversary dinner there on a Thursday night, the food was outstanding. The details, lovely ambiance and a nice vibe, not too noisy, you still can have a conversation, a very well curated wine list by the glass with a sommelier who is more than willing to share his thoughts and make recommendations, great service and timing for the plates to come out of the kitchen. We had thebeets with bacon, the crab salad, lamb shoulder and smoked chicken, now this may all sound pedestrian but far from it, great flavors and textures and juxtapositions of tastes. This was our first visit since the pandemic started and I know we will be back soon. read more

I have had numerous dinners at Deer Mtn Inn in the past few years. There have been some changes with staff and management which caused me to frequent less. The atmosphere here is perfect whether sitting in one of he dining rooms or have a drink at the cozy bar near the large fireplace. I went recently and my experience puts it back on my top list for the area. Our bartender made some awesome drinks and was fun to hang with. Service was perfect... The glasses were always full, bread always warm and you never had to ask or wait for anything.... Rare these days. The food was very good. Overall a great dining experience. I would also highly recommend coming here after snowboarding for some apres and snacks! One request would to bring back some of the entrees that were previously on the menu like pistachio encrusted New Zealand rack of lamb, venison fillets, pork belly etc. Highly recommend this establishment ! read more

We just had dinner at the Deer Mountain Inn and were very pleased. While the menu is limited we all found a delicious entree to eat. Menus are seasonal and eclectic ( no burgers or steak on the menu ). Our appetizer of smoked eggplant dip was excellent. My steelhead trout was delicious as were my dining partners entrees of smoked half chicken and lamb shoulder. Sauces and accompaniments blended very well with our protein. Dessert was delicious. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable . We were alli pressed that the GM visited our table to serve dessert and say hello. We hope to be able to come back soon. read more

If their COVID-19 game is this strong, I would love to see them when operating normally. We ordered takeout in advance, and when we arrived, the friendly hostess asked if we were staying. (They have tables set up all over the stunning grounds so you can eat outdoors with considerable distance.) I said yes and she got us real silverware. While I was getting food, my husband found a lovely table on the patio, and the bartender set him up with our wine in an ice bucket and glasses. The food was delicious. We got burrata with strawberries, shaved veggies, farro with mushrooms, potato salad and the butterscotch pudding. I would tell you what was my favorite if I could pick. Including a bottle of wine, our bill was under $100 before tip. I thought that was reasonable for what this place is. We were tended to all night by friendly, attentive servers, while we looked out over the tree-filled grounds, with multiple fires twinkling as the stars came out. So we ate our food out of to go containers? Who cares? That just made it easier to take our leftovers with. read more

This restaurant is so hidden it took us a while to find it in the woods. The Inn itself was full of antiques, wooden furniture and a deer decorated chandelier. I was so far away from technology that I could not rely on Yelp for help in terms of looking up reviews. So, I had to rely on my instinct and ordered what I like without referring to the Yelp Bible. We were a group of 13 and we sat down at a big table by the window. It was comfy and so relaxing. However, I think we waited almost 5 minutes for our menu and another 5 for simply water and the bread. The bread basket was lukewarm and the bread honestly was not good. It was chewy and kind of hard. There is only Prix-fixe menu and the price is kind of high for the countryside. However, I guess the atmosphere made up for it. To start, I got their daily special salad, which is baby spinach with brie cheese, walnut, bacon and mushroom. The salad came un-tossed. The dressing was on top and I had to do the blending and tossing myself. It didn't really make sense. For entree, I went for the Cranberry duck with vegetables and wild rice pilaf. Most of my friends got their famous lamb chop and they made the right choice. My duck entree came with two huge duck legs and generous portion of vegetable and rice pilaf. I tasted the duck and it was very tender. However, the cranberry sauce was over-powering. The whole dish was so sweet. It was a strange flavor. Even my rice pilaf was soaked in the sweet sauce. I got to try my friends' lamb chop dish and it was great. They gave you tons of lamb chops and they were seasoned very well. The meat was juicy and tender. Finally, we ended with desserts of our choices. I got the chocolate layer cake. It was a big piece and definitely rich and delicious! Overall, the food is just OK. I don't think I will come back. The service was really slow but friendly. I think it is because they don't have a lot of wait staff or maybe they are just more slow-paced?! read more

We came up for our anniversary, my wife's family has a house near by so we didn't stay at the inn (although after this experience maybe I will book a room for the next special occasion anyway!). Upon approaching I was struck by the beautiful building set on park-like grounds. Being a special occasion I had made a reservation for the 7 course chef table tasting menu, they feature a small regular menu also but I believe they don't take reservations for the regular menu. The interior is that of a perfectly restored country inn, classy without being stuffy or snooty. A wine pairing was offered with the tasting menu, not being big wine people we declined, although the $40 price tag seemed like a pretty good value. The meal started with "snacks", an assortment of items including some broiled oysters, quail eggs, vegetables with a spread featuring caviar and one or two other items. These "snack" had a wide variety of tastes and textures to warm up the taste buds for the rest of the meal. Each of the dishes that followed were super flavorful and varied. Even the fresh bread was world class, a warm round mild sour dough that was super crispy on the outside and chewy inside. The turnip was excellent as were the mushrooms and it was hard to choose between the fish and venison as the star entree. Dessert was a multi faceted affair with a mouse a crunchy hazel nut cracker kind of thing and a shaved flavored ice as a garnish. As we sipped our espresso our second dessert plate arrived (I think I had lost count of the number of items at that point) featuring some small bites to finish off the night. The service throughout was excellent and the hostess (maybe manager?) offered us a brief history of the inn when my wife inquired. For us this was a bit of a splurge but I would say a similar meal in a major city would probably run you much more. I highly recommend and look forward to returning myself. read more

We have been wanting to try this place out and finally got the chance. Pop up Chef Jay Kumar was amazing. We got the mushroom ragout appetizer, filet mignon and gooey chocolate cake.

We stayed overnight in the wheeler room. The place is beautiful, the room was gorgeous and comfortable. Logan, who was at the front desk, was exceptional. Kind, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. He made us feel right at home. The bed was extremely cozy and comfortable. The linens were so nice and I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. There was an espresso coffee station set up in the hallway next to our room which was super convenient-and the coffee was delicious. Also, our room was stocked with liquors, snacks, and other beverages that you could add to your tab. We had the most delicious local chocolate bar! Dinner was a different story. I had REALLY high expectations after reading the reviews, but unfortunately-everything fell short. The dining room is stunning!! The service was impeccable. The cocktails were delicious, but tasted much different than what we'd ordered. We'd ordered an apple pie cocktail-and what we received was a very orange forward bourbon cocktail-with not a hint of walnut or apples. It was delicious though-just not what was described. The focaccia came to our table totally blackened. I understand a bit of char can taste nice and add some character to a rustic bread-but it was really burned. Each piece was bitter, because of the excessive char. My celery soup was not bad, but it was not delicious. It lacked balance. It was sour, and could have used some salt, or fat to round out or balance the flavor. I was not impressed with it, and felt it really could have been elevated. My trout was very nice-red rice came on the side in a bowl and was served cool/room temp. The trout was supposed to have a "sunflower curry" sauce-and the sauce was nice, but it didn't seem to have any type of spicing that would indicate a curry. It was a white sauce with a very mild flavor. The fish was delicate and mild in flavor, but I did have a couple of bites that tasted very fishy. My boyfriend played it safe with a burger which he enjoyed. His fries were over salted. We both love salt-so it would have to be pretty salty for either of us to find them salty. The dessert was delicious, but it was TINY. I don't mind having a dessert that leaves you wanting more-but the portion was ridiculously small. The brown butter cookie was to die for. The whip was nice and light. There was just not enough of it. Our experience was still a pleasant one. We were not blown away by the food, but the restaurant was so beautiful, and service was very pleasant. Our breakfast the following morning was nicer than I'd expected. Croissants, nice bagels with some flavored cream cheeses. Yogurts with various toppings and honey. Fresh coffee and juice were available as well. A nice ending to our stay. read more

My husband and had a very last-minute getaway to the Deer Mountain Inn for 3 nights and we absolutely loved it. The inn itself is beautiful and exactly what I'd hoped it would be. Rustic but modern, like the country house of a wealthy, urban interior designer (who truly enjoys having guests and wants them to be comfortable). There's beautiful and quirky art on the walls, cozy rugs, and gorgeous mountain views. The grounds are stunning and impeccably maintained. So many gorgeous flowers. I would make a trip just to see the pure-white puffball hydrangeas. We stayed in the Reid room and it was large enough to be comfortable yet still felt cozy. The bed was ridiculously comfortable and we had to force ourselves out of it each morning. The bathroom, though small, was quite stylish and perfectly functional. Great water pressure, lovely smelling soaps, etc. We ate at the restaurant both Sunday and Monday nights and really enjoyed it both times. It's a small but creative menu and we liked that the chef uses produce from the inn's vegetable and herb garden. The cocktails were excellent and not too sweet (so good in fact, it was great to be able to flounce upstairs after dinner and not have to drive). Our servers also recommended two wines we loved, neither of which happened to be particularly expensive. Thank you, ladies! Speaking of which, the highlight of our stay was the service. The entire staff is super friendly, and not in an uptight, fake-smile kind of way (I'm absolutely awful at remembering names, which is the only reason I'm not mentioning them). The waitstaff really knew the menu and could talk in detail about the ingredients, where they came from, seasonality, etc. They were charming, funny and sweet. On the hotel side, one highlight for us was the Game of Thrones viewing party organized by Brian, the concierge, on Sunday night in the cozy attic lounge. It was totally unexpected but so much fun. We also played several games of (tipsy and terrible) pool before collapsing happily into our luxurious bed. All in all, it was just what we needed. A no-stress getaway with enough nature to feel woodsy, but enough amenities to feel pampered. We definitely plan on going back. read more

Just had dinner here on Christmas Eve and they literally incorporated chestnuts roasting on an open fire, right in front of you into one of their dishes. We just escaped manhattan for the holidays and am COMPLETELY blown away with how amazing this place is. The food was amazing and the super affordable pricing was such a relief compared to dinner in the city AND it was a 7 course tasting menu. My lady mentioned she felt like royalty :) This place makes your feel like you are lucky to know it exists. Me an the lady feel it will be a lifetime of coming back. read more
