    I'm going to break this review down into a few categories. This one is for the overall experience…read morewe had as a cousins getaway - our old girl tonight, adventure. Mohonk Mountain House is well known to my entire family because our family spent many summers in that region for many decades. We just simply didn't act as tourists until this week. The arrival experience is spectacular - a mile long entrance up the mountain through a meandering well paved road Goetz you too the option of the front of Mohonk or the valet reception toward the back. We were staying overnight so we chose the valet. The valets were wonderful - everyone was well trained and respectful of the vehicle and of our experience as vacationers. One of the standouts was Matt or Max goodness gracious I can't remember, but he was terrific. We had a similar experience with the staff at ballet on the way out as well, so I would say blanketly that you can't go wrong with any of the attendants. THE ATMOSPHERE at Mohonk is historic, a large like mansion that hearts back to the turn of the 19th century. This location is run by fifth generation of the Smiley family. They're doing a lot right. They have maintained the Rich wood tone decor, and at every turn, a peak of the magnificent outdoors that encompasses the resort. The woodwork alone is masterful. Windows are enormous and let in in abundance of natural light and setting THE GUEST ROOM: We were very lucky to have a guestroom facing the lake, where we could admire nature at its finest with fog rolling in in the morning and glistening mirror like finishes to the glacial lake. The room was well appointed for a retreat where television should not exist. If you want television, book somewhere else this place is all about nature and embracing it. You don't have to be a hiker, nor do you have to be Ann arborist. But you do have to value tranquility, and a setting that is typically only found in a postcard. We spent a fair amount of time, just sitting on our balcony with a cup of tea and the view. The only downside is that the carpets are in need of a very deep clean. There is a heavy musty smell that can only be removed through proper deep cleaning. This is not a housekeeping issue and given how busy the resort is especially in the summer, I'm sure it's painful to take rooms out of order in order to deep clean them. But unfortunately, it should be done. The furnishings are reproductions of a time gone by, but they could also use some Care and Cleaning, particularly the upholstered chairs. Housekeeping did a wonderful job. I would like to see them get under the beds. In order to do that, management needs to allow for significant time and have been in that business, it's a difficult decision. Your staff is loyal - our housekeeper was there 17 years so I hope they are well cared for and respected when they are doing their job. Staffing in general is top-notch. The training is excellent for acknowledgment of the guest and priority of those who have paid top dollar to enjoy the hotel and its amenities. And speaking of amenities: the lake, boats, paddle boats, canoes, kayaks are all for the asking. The docs are new and well maintained, and the staff, including Jen And Zoe could not have been more wonderful to us. We could not wait to get out and enjoy the lake. The breeze offset the heavy sun and heat. I suggest you make sure you wear proper sunblock and Donna hat because it's easy to get sunburnt here if you're not paying attention. But if you did forget your sunblock, all you need to is to take a pleasant walk past historic photographs to the Gift Shop, which is wall to wall Hudson Valley finds and practical items. Don't expect to get out of there with anything left in your pocket because there are many options from a simple six dollar magnet all the way up to a $300 item of clothing. The staff again in the Gift Shop were lovely. Beware, they do not take cash. No cash. I assume you can charge to your room, but the room was under my cousin's name so that was not an option. I literally had to pay for a US postal stamp by credit card. That's insanity. The food: picture this - a high-end cruise on land. You don't have to take out your wallet when you enter the dining room everything you see is included with the exception of alcoholic beverages. It's extremely freeing to not pay attention to the prices. That is not to say that the prices are low. They are not. You will expect to pay about $400 per person per day, but you will probably eat $200-$300 per day in delicious food. That is an exaggeration, but that's what it felt like See some of our photographs for just a few of the meals we enjoyed. One of my favorites was the breakfast eggs Benedict Station Ware Ranaldo make sure that the egg I requested as being soft came out perfectly.

    We spent the weekend at Mohonk Mountain House and had the chance to enjoy several meals at the…read morerestaurant during our stay. Everything--from the atmosphere to the service--was excellent. Our first dinner was especially relaxing. We sat by the window with beautiful views, and the ambiance was cozy and peaceful. The meals were served as a pre-fixe with starter, entrée, and dessert options. That evening, I started with the muhammara. It was flavorful and served with crispy fried pita. I personally prefer a bit more heat, but the texture and seasoning were spot on. For my entrée, I chose the seared chicken breast--tender and well-seasoned, though the portion was more than I could finish. Dessert was a standout: the mascarpone torta cake was light, creamy, and absolutely incredible. I'd give it 10 stars if I could! The second night, I tried the cauliflower bisque, and wow--it was rich, creamy, and delicious. Easily my favorite dish of the night. My entrée was the pumpkin fregola, which was fine but didn't quite match the wow factor of the soup. We ended our trip with breakfast at the restaurant, which is served buffet-style. The spread was generous, with tons of options for all kinds of tastes. It was a perfect way to wrap up a wonderful weekend. Highly recommend dining here if you're staying at Mohonk--or even making a reservation if you're visiting the area. Beautiful setting, friendly staff, and memorable meals.

    We had quite the eventful day of biking and bopping around in heavy rain, so when we found this…read morerestaurant near our Airbnb we were more than thrilled. Of course we cleaned up and walked over and were even more thrilled when we arrived to a completely empty dining room with the exception of our wonderful waiter and attentive host. It felt like the perfect, cozy intimate space to the end of an otherwise rainy, somewhat crazy but fun day. We shared a bottle of red on recommendation and had cocktails. The waiter was warm and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The ambiance is cozy and has an elevated feel. Service was exceptional and it was the perfect, memorable evening. Ended dinner with what I recall was a complimentary chocolate truffle. 10/10!

    People are kvetching about Butterfield's service and prices. And guess what? They're right. Service…read morewas indeed spotty on the Saturday night we came here and prices- well....they veer into sharp-intake-of-breath territory, but the cocktail and wine list are good in value. We'd just wrapped up seeing a property in the area- so coming here for dinner, fell just in line with timing before heading down home. Butterfield is Hasbrouck House's on-site farm-to-table restaurant located a bit north from New Paltz. While we didn't stay at the hotel, folks can certainly dine here. Don't even think that you'll be seated in an ultra-cheap bar area because their bar is put together elegantly with brushed, brassy-gold touches, navy, grey+cream patterned wallpaper and a comfortable tufted leather(?) sofa against the windows.Those are pretty much the overall touches with lots of tone and a lot of warmth. Music was a great mix of 60s-70s R&B. Yeah.... here. Hubs and I were digging it. Naturally, Butterfield's menu will change regularly according with what's in season and available. Between our 'Small Plates' of mixed Beet salad+ yogurt ($18) and hubs' crispy wonton Tuna Crudo+ yuzu tacos ($22)- they were very tasty and pricy for the small size. Mr. Mixologist packed our cocktails extremely well with an incredible TKO. Our main plates were very good- but again, small for the dollar amount. No one needs to gorge on food- but I wished my palm-size $44 Halibut was a bit bigger. To their defense, it had a tasty rub and done PERFECTLY moist though. Hubs' $54 "dry aged strip loin" was a total of 3 pieces. And my take-out Truffle Risotto had uncooked rice. Again, it's small and expensive at $38 for a main plate Hubs and I eat well and usually, money is no object- if it's within reason. I totally get that fine dining typically means splurging a little for high-quality items or that Butterfield is using 'complex cooking techniques' or that you'll get an original dining experience in these neck of the woods for those who want uniqueness. But there are a ton of restaurants that use the same skill set, quality organic ingredients, root veggies, etc- and they're way more reasonably priced than this location.
