    Our daughter took us here for Father's Day with her boyfriend. He (her boyfriend) had just started…read morea job here and we've refrained from reviewing it so as not to reflect poorly on him. Since he's leaving there we've decided to warn other people. First, the food was wretched! The main courses were messed up from the beginning and had to be redone. They screwed up the 'special' as well! My husband and I both ordered steak with shrimp scampi. We both ordered medium; his came back like shoe leather mine was so rare I couldn't eat it! The 'shrimp scampi' amounted to 4 shrimp each that had the texture rubber and appeared to have been thrown in a fry pan with a bunch of garlic sans butter and the white wine required to make it actual shrimp scampi, and dumped on our steaks. It wasn't edible. I ordered rice pilaf with my steak (part of the special) as did my husband. Both came back with cold, lumpy mashed potatoes! We had to ask for the rice! They brought out two smaller plates, much later, with 'rice pilaf' which tasted exactly like it was prepared from a box! It too wasn't edible! Then we order dessert, chocolate cheesecake...which was literally plain cheesecake with awful chocolate syrup on it...NOT CHOCOLATE cheesecake! I'm not sure what my husband or daughters came to because it was a Father's Day present but mine, with NO alcohol, was over $50!!!! For a terrible meal that had to be sent back because they got their own special wrong! Save your $$ and your taste buds and eat somewhere else! To make all of this much worse, the owner (same guy that served us) had hired my daughter's boyfriend promising a certain wage. Turns out he not only refuses to pay him the promised wage (paying him considerably less) but he's paying him (all the employees) under the table as well as cutting back promised hours! Our dining experience lasted 2 1/2 agonizing hours! There was only one other couple in the place and they sat down a full 30 minutes after we did and they received their food first!

    I had high hopes for this place given the mostly positive reviews on Yelp. Unfortunately, my family…read moreand I were sorely disappointed. We came here on a Wednesday evening at 6pm and there were fewer than 10 people seated (not including a half a dozen or so at the bar). We had two young kids with us so we ordered quickly in hopes we could get the kids settled, fed and back in the car before they started acting like kids. We ordered chicken fingers and fries for the kids, wings and French onion soup for ourselves followed by a cheesesteak and a cheeseburger. We did not see a single piece of food until 7pm. Literally - one hour from when we ordered until even the kids food showed up. We asked the waitress to check on everything about 45 minutes into the evening and could hear the chef say, "you tell them it'll be out when it's ready". Two stars rather than one because when the food did finally show up it was mostly good. The wings were great, the cheesesteak was great - the burger was tragic, borderline inedible. It tasted like it had been grilled directly on charcoal that was doused in lighter fluid. I'd have sent it back if I wasn't 100% sure we'd end up waiting another hour for a replacement. I'm fairly certain this place won't care about this review - but I hope if you're reading this you'll be dissuaded from wasting your time, money and energy and look to any of a number of other amazing restaurants in the area that serve great food and provide amazing service.

Menu had lots of variety and the dessert specials were to die for. Everything was delicious - highly recommend the calamari appetizer and the complimentary bread was fantastic. I just about licked my dinner plate clean (get the duck breast)! Friends loved the fried chicken and the salmon. Wine list was great and service was wonderful.

    We were eager to check out Miss Lucy's as one of the more popular spots in Saugerties. Thankfully…read moreit wasn't too annoying to get a reservation and we found the spot to be busy and popular among locals and tourists alike. Walking in we were seated promptly though we immediately noticed that the interior was extremely dark. Not a big deal but worth flagging for older folks who might have a hard time reading. Our server was friendly and relatively attentive and walked us through the menu. We started off with some classics including their bread and butter (which was tasty and delicious) and ordered their P.E.I Mussels ($19) along with their Fried Brussels Sprouts ($15) to share. The portions were quite large for everything (great if you're in a larger party) but we immediately noticed that the mussels they served seemed a bit off. Many of them were not opened all the way (a sign that they might not be the freshest or recently passed) and had a bit of a fishy taste to them. We ended up not finishing them and flagged them to our waiter. The other items, including the 14oz Ribeye ($43) and baby back ribs ($28) were better, though a bit one-note. The bay back ribs in particular were extremely saucy and the corn bread was dry and a bit tough to eat. I had to use a knife to split it apart as it kept crumbling every time I used a fork. Regardless, it seems like a popular spot for a reason and perhaps we just went during more of an off-night. I'd still recommend checking it out but avoiding the mussels if you go.

    Probably the highlight of our trip to the Catskills. Everyone was so friendly and we loved the…read more"Hate Had No Place Here" sign. So come as your are! The beer is flavorful and I recommend "hooking up" your Brookie. Think Michelada, but with more citrus. They have a set menu for snacks so not really a place for a full meal. However, check the website as they seem to have rotating food vendors. We had the vegan nachos with Indian flavors which was amazing. It's a small space but that adds to the charm! Lots of outside seating, hunter lounge feels, and friendly staff with their mascot cat.

We arrived about 2 hours after opening on a Saturday afternoon in August and it was pretty packed. Since we had the dogs with us so we searched for a shady spot on a sunny afternoon so that they would be comfortable. Luckily we found one! The beer was good. We really enjoyed the Catch & Release, Mountain Life and the Dutchie. The basil in the Dutchie was really refreshing! We purchased Mountain Life and Dutchie in cans. The food was definitely not the highlight. They told us they were very behind and that the pizza would take an hour or more. They also wouldn't take our order initially because they had no buzzers left. We came back two times to see if any buzzers had come back. We ended up ordering the smash burger, the chicken sando, and fries. This order took about 20-25 mins. The Smash burger had a nice caramelization. The chicken sando was tasty, but not worth the wait. We will be back!
