    When hubs searches for restaurants, he relies on his Google Maps, zooms in and picks a place. Not Yelp. Hey....I'm not criticizing, just telling the facts. And so, on a lazy Sunday, hubs and I landed at Front Street Tavern- on Front St in Kingston, NY. Front Street T.'s setting is relaxed and roomy with seating in every square inch- but not in a stuffy way. It serves up hearty starters, salads, main plates, etc. with drinks being more casual than mixology-heavy. We dove right in for main plates+drinks for our quick lunch. My Lavender Lemonade with Tito's was more refreshing than a knockout punch. But it was my Eggplant Parmesan that knocked me off my feet. Possibly the thinnest eggplant slices I've had to date. This was definitely cut out for me- has a tasty, only-tomato sauce- without all those seasonings, has no breadcrumbs on the veg with the perfect amount of Parmesan cheese. This is literally one of the best eggplant parms I've ever had! Service was great the entire time from our guy Trevor. This was a quick and tasty escape- so come hungry and explore the menu.

    Stopped in on a Friday afternoon and had an excellent experience. The bartender was super helpful helping us figure out parking as the payment app was down for street parking. After that, we had drinks (well priced!) and started with the burrata. It was excellent, the pesto was super tasty. I ordered the smashburger which was perfection, gridded patties with a potato bun, melty cheese, carmelized onions. My boyfriend enjoyed the rigatoni vodka, though I found it a bit spicy. It's a great vibe, chic but cozy,

    In short this looks like a historical little pub that we had no huge expectations for and were blown away! As one of our party said this place was punching way ahead of its weight class. It doesn't settle for the usual pub fare and uses high quality freshly made ingredients. To that point some of the items on the specials list were not available Because they ran out. That might seem like a negative but it was because everything seemed to be made fresh daily. Our party enjoyed the schnitzel (including the 'best mashed potatoes ever enjoyed in a restaurant'); delicious bolognese (perfect portion /excellent ingredients). The waitress was helpful and the ambience was very nice. Definitely some regulars at the bar indicating it's worth re-visiting!

    Lavender lemonade on the rooftop deck!

    My drink was delicious (lavender lemonade). I want really hungry so I just got the fries. I didn't really like them even though the bar recommended them. The aoili wasn't good. I don't like my fries over done and brown. Needed more topping. The service was good though. Views are nice. Limited rooftop options in the area. When you walk in you go past the bar and to your right to go upstairs to the patio.

    By seeing the mixed reviews we were a little skeptical at first. But this establishment surprised us. Once entered the dining room, we felt instantly relaxed. Chill vibe with jazzy music in the background. The guy at the front who seemed to be the manager/ owner was very warm and welcoming. Our waitress who also ran the bar was busy the whole time but was friendly and punctual. Nothing felt short. Impressive professionalism. Then it comes to the foods. The kale salad was simple but perfectly prepared. The best part that I appreciated the most was how thinly the veggie was shredded. It was like kale spaghettis. Not a lot of kitchens would spend time on cutting food into smaller sizes. I had fish and chips as my main. The portion was very generous. There were two big slabs of fish like burritos. The fish was so succulent and the crust was so thin that each piece broke into halves as I picked it up. It was probably the best fish and chips that I could remember. The next thing is a little odd the say. The condition of the restroom of a restaurant reflects how good or bad the management is. At least that's how I see it. At this place? I enjoyed my potty break. Nonetheless the price was fair. Not because the town is a little touristy but for being within the metro area, it was very reasonable. One last thing, we stopped by this town twice during a ski trip and visited two different restaurants. This is place was definitely the better choice.

    This restaurant is located in Kingston on N. Front St. we were really up for dinner at this hour on the rooftop deck. Drinks were in order, appys and entrees and more drinks. Giles was our server. The appy here is worth noting. "Tavern Eggs", bacon bedeviled eggs. Excellent. The entrees were very good plus. The atmosphere is a definite plus here. Reservations are strongly recommended, since people are slowly branching out into the public. I would rate this a 3+.

    Schnitzel
    Scott L.

    Kingston has a fun, walkable downtown section with lots of shops to explore. We did this and then stopped at Front Street Tavern for dinner. Lots of good options on the menu but the whole table landed on the pork schnitzel. This was a good choice, with two thin cutlets breaded and topped with a mushroom gravy. The sweet and sour cabbage was an interesting and delicious side. Service was exception with the server and host checking on us several times and engaging in conversation. Very personable.

    We had great and quick service, yummy food, and a pretty rooftop! Portion sizes seemed to be inconsistent.

    Driving past Bowery Dugout on Ulster Avenue in Kingston, you'd never know how good it smells…read moreinside. Since my husband isn't on Yelp, I did my usual digging first. Unfortunately, the pictures+reviews on Yelp are disappointing enough that I almost talked us out of coming here. Hubs still wanted to try it. We were pleasantly surprised. The Bowery D has two flrs. You can sit downstairs- which is used for mostly for events- but we were told most people head upstairs and that's what we did. The main dining rm is carpeted, spacious and has a decent-sized bar. The first thing we noticed was the nice seafood smell in the air. So why come here? Raw oysters for one. Also because hubs has had Lobster Newburgh on his mind lately and the closest thing these folks offer is a mixed seafood Newburgh. He went for it. Result? He liked it. My Swai fish was tasty, though I was expecting something a bit flashier than sweet potato fries. My Jamboozle cocktail didn't have any oomph so I stuck to water after that. Service was great and the food was good. A nice surprise for a spot that doesn't totally shine on Yelp.

    Great deal on the early bird specials! Food is pretty good, and service is great. I had stuffed…read moreshrimp, and my partner had stuffed flounder. It's the small things that make a difference - a plate of carrot and celery sticks and some garlic bread on the table are a nice touch. Coffee and dessert were a lovely end to our casual meal.

We started with the side order of bread - a little steep at $10 for 4 pieces + butter but it was sooo good and just fresh out of the oven. We tried 2 cocktails and 1 mocktail - all had excellent flavors and were super refreshing. For our mains we had the smash burger, grain bowl + chicken, and lobster roll. The fries that came with the burger and lobster roll were seasoned nicely and had a nice crunch to them, but not overcooked. The burger and roll tasted fresh and had great flavor. Would definitely get again. The grain bowl was a good portion and was packed with various textures, which all came together nicely with the green goddess dressing! Definitely will be back!
