The ambiance, staff, patrons and drinks were lovely. We tried the Balkan Dancing night with MacNCheez and had a uniquely memorable and fun(rather silly, for us) evening; would definitely go back and recommended it to friends. (Pro Tip: Any type of dancing is a huge plus if you're trying to stay sane! Just go for it!) This place is an escape and a joy as we live through this dark, scary time in history. Sometimes, the fight-of-the-hour is to refuel with laughter and know that you're showing up for a terrific little business and band. Get off the couch tonight! Live an interesting life! (Full disclosure, at one point, there was an openly critical woman dancing next to me as I stumbled along but do I think this place is responsible for one grump's tacky behavior? Did I let her ruin my fun? Nope and nope. 95% of the people were awesome to me, it's just math).

The restaurant is housed in a beautifully renovated industrial-style merchant building right on the Kingston waterfront, and if you can grab outdoor seating, it's a great place to relax while watching the boats come and go. It's also kid-friendly, which made brunch with the family easy and enjoyable. Instead of ordering entrees, we decided to work our way through the appetizer menu. The standouts were the lobster and trout dip (our favorite of the meal), the root beer based wings, and the fresh oysters. Everything else was fine--good quality, but nothing that completely blew us away. One thing that really caught our attention was the Sunday all-you-can-eat-and-drink brunch. It had a lively crowd, an outdoor DJ, and looked like people were having a fantastic time. However, we were never offered and found it too late to inquire after ordering from the menu already. Overall, The Cornell is worth checking out for the waterfront location, relaxed atmosphere, and fun brunch scene. While the food didn't quite match the setting, it was still a very enjoyable family outing, and the few standout dishes make it worth a return visit.

It's located on such a charming street, and stepping inside felt like walking into an elevated Barnes & Noble straight out of a Harry Potter movie. There are endless shelves of books across every genre, cozy seating throughout, and the perfect atmosphere to spend hours browsing or reading. The coffee was just as wonderful as the space. I wasn't sure what to order, so the barista recommended a drink and was incredibly accommodating with my many requests. I can't have too much milk or syrup, so I basically gave them a complicated custom order, and they made it exactly to my liking without hesitation. I also ended up buying one of the chocolate bars they had at the counter and turns out it was $20!!!! As a tourist, I had no idea it was a well known local chocolate brand with a factory nearby, so that was a fun surprise. This is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down. I'd love to come back, grab a coffee, spend the entire afternoon reading, and just soak in the comforting smell of books and fresh coffee. Such a cozy, magical spot that's well worth visiting!

A Hidden Gem in Kingston - Incredible Food, Drinks, and Vibes! We had a fantastic experience at The Lone Wolf! The ambiance is absolutely beautiful--an inviting outdoor patio with wood-paneled walls, string lights, and lush greenery that make for a cozy and stylish setting. The food was outstanding. We ordered the mushroom bao, which was savory, tender, and packed with umami flavor, and the crispy tuna, which was perfectly balanced with fresh toppings and a great crunch. We also tried the "Something Pho-Delicious" cocktail--such a creative and flavorful drink! As a surprise treat, they even brought us a complimentary green daiquiri, which was refreshing and well-crafted. Our server, Meghan, was amazing--friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. The overall service was top-notch. If you're in Kingston and looking for a cool spot with excellent small plates, inventive cocktails, and a relaxed, beautiful atmosphere, The Lone Wolf should be at the top of your list. read more

That Emily who gave a 1 star review because she was offended over a book, she is not bright. I have visited the places these owners have opened many times. Their first place in New Paltz was amazing and they are the reason my husband became a rum nerd. Loved that they opened Lone Wolf. They do indeed treat their staff wonderfully, its literally their family and friends. They are genuine and love that they want to get to know their customers, a real hospitality experience.

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.
