    Lobster roll
    Caroline A.

    Great spot for quick lunch! $2 oysters on Mondays. We always have great service and we love to sit outside and enjoy the weather!

    Fresh . Briny. Divine.

    Oyster Party feels slightly out of place- it's a raw bar with coastal shack energy. Except, it's not on the coast- it's on Route 28 in Woodstock, NY. A few steps way from Santa Fe restn't, Oyster P. is small. The menu is smaller. That's the point. Plus every item on their menu is cooked with intention making the true flavors to shine. Lobster rolls come two ways: butter(hot) or mayo. There's a lobster po' boy with meaty oysters, a clam chowder (with pork). The raw oysters is why hubs and I came; these folks deliver every single time we've stopped by. The guys working here are friendly and sharp. But Jordan in particular, stands out in a real way, like someone who actually wants you there, not someone just taking space. Oyster Party is a place that doesn't try to impress you with a gazillion types of oysters. Now, if you're talking about their catering company, yes. Instead, they keep it tight usually 3, maybe 4(?) at a time and that's exactly the point. Each oyster on the list earns its place. They're fresh, briny and packed with flavor, the kind that tastes like clean ocean water. Some hit sharp and salty, others are creamy and smooth. No funny business - just a tight lineup of oysters that prove less really does taste better. Eating oysters only in the summer? Nope. These folks keep it going through fall and winter too proving that cold months don't kill the vibe and don't wait for beach season to shine. This place may not make sense to some, but somehow, it does up in the boonies.

    What a great spot and it's open on Monday! Juicy lobster roll and clam chowder soup Hopefully the menu will expand too or have mix combos of what they already have to try it all in one go If not ! Still such a great new spot

The aesthetic is…read moregorgeous but very welcoming; we went on a beautiful day so we opted to sit outside on their nice shady balcony. We chose SILVIA because the menu is vegetable forward and as a vegetarian there were several dishes I had to try. Both my omni partner and I loved the mushroom lentil pâté, stuffed artichokes, and smoked beets we had for appetizers. The pâté is rich and flavorful and the pickled veggies it's served with are so good we only wished the dish came with more of them. The artichokes were perfectly tender and are stuffed with raclette and ramp (YUM), and the lemon breadcrumbs they're topped with pair so well with the cheese, and add a lovely brightness and zing. The smoked beets were also perfectly tender with a deep rich smokey flavor, and the chimichurri they come with does a nice job to add brightness (There's a theme here of rich flavors paired with brightness to make your palette pop). For an entrée we opted to share the local mushroom & pasta rags dish. the pasta rags were cooked nicely, soft but still toothy, and the mushrooms, black garlic butter, and thyme added a rich deep flavor. I was obsessed with the amount of parmigiano reggiano the pasta was topped with -- I could've eaten plate after plate of this dish. Their cocktail menu seems to be just as well thought out as their food with some unique offerings. I tried and enjoyed both Mezcal options. Service was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive. TL;DR: beautiful space, absolutely delicious food, plenty of vegetarian options, fun cocktails, great service. Go here.

The outdoor patio was gorgeous with hanging string lights and it was nice to sit out on a warm summer night. However, the indoor also had an amazing vibe with an open kitchen concept and a swanky bar. On a Friday night both areas were packed, so I'd say a reservation here is a must. I made mine well in advance. We started off with a few small plates and all were delish. I heard good things about the fresh hot pita bread with whipped butter and was not let down. We also had fresh heirloom tomatoes with a whipped feta, and prosciutto and endive. For my main I went with scallops. While these were absolutely incredible I do have to mention that the price was very high for what was received. Four small scallops for $40... and mostly just a huge bed of corn and peas. Delicious, but way way steep when considering what was given. I also had some of my husband's steak which was perfectly cooked and salted and came with the most delicious oyster mushrooms. This is definitely a spendy dinner (especially with a few cocktails in the mix), BUT... it's classy and food and drinks are top tier. So for a special night out this is absolutely worth a visit.

We also had wonderful service from several staff members throughout our meal, so well taken care of. We started with the House-Made Pierogi, the onions are cooked down in butter and sage, the brown butter hits with richness, cool sour cream, then the pierogi melt in your mouth. The texture of the pierogi itself, is tender and pillowy, so the experience isn't just rich flavor, the experience is the texture as well. I had the roast chicken, which comes with whipped potatoes and carrots. A simple dish, packed with incredible flavor. The meat was moist and tender, the skin crisp, the cook spot on. The potatoes, might be Idaho, because the potatoe flavor really comes forward towards mid-bite. The buttery carrots are paired nicely with mint flavor. The sauce is Porcini-Tarragon cream, a very nice choice, really compliments the meal. I was impressed, and I think it speaks volumes to take a simple dish, impart it with rich flavor, technique, and to elevate it. My husband had the lobster spaghetti, but he's currently unavailable for my review. The ambiance is dimly lit, dark colors- rich like their flavors, some brick, and the volume lively. We sat by a window, which was nice at 730 for end of summer twilight. Next visit we'll make our reservation for the patio, which would have been lovely at that time, but we booked short notice- and felt very fortunate to get a table for such a phenomenal restaurant. I keep thinking back, and I'm pretty blown away. It couldn't have been any more perfect. We had an event prior, at Opus 40, Red Onion was the cherry on top! It was my birthday :)

And the renovated old farmhouse was just lovely and offered porch dining though we sat inside. The gentleman who greeted us was outgoing and started the meal off positively. Despite not having a reservation, we were able to be seated promptly. The complimentary bread and olive oil were solid. The meatball appetizer ($19) was decent but tiny, and the pasta special ($29) was not too impressive and was too oily. I didn't even bother to glance at the dessert menu. Service was not in line with an upscale restaurant. The server never came over to take our orders, and she finally did only after we brought this up to the host who was quite apologetic. Then she was attentive for a little but then returned to her inattentiveness. Finally, the bathroom could've used some tidying up as well. Sorry Cucina, I really wanted to like you.

From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel so welcome, ushering us to an awesome table on their inviting patio so we could dine with our dog. The service only got better from there. Our server, Grace, was phenomenal. We were debating between small and large plates and asked for her advice on portions. Usually, servers just push you to order more, leading to a table full of wasted food. Grace did the exact opposite--she guided us perfectly and honestly advised against adding another side dish. She was 100% right on the mark. Thank you. Absolutely every single dish was a "wow"--piping hot, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor: ----Tteok Bokki ($18): I had seen this on many Korean menus and this was my first time trying Korean rice cakes, and I'm so glad I did. A wonderfully spicy, cheesy, chewy combo with melted raclette. --Crispy Wild Shrimp & Shishito ($24): Another spicy, delectable hit with a great sweet-and-savory balance. --Moo Shu Mushroom & Vegetables ($30): Delicious and fresh--the perfect mild counterpoint to the heavier, spicy dishes. --Crispy Panko Chicken Katsu ($32): We're still talking about how incredible this was. Definitely on the higher end price-wise, but given the stellar food, ambiance, and great service, well worth it. If we lived locally, Goodnight would be on our regular rotation.

My bartender wasn't particularly friendly or attentive, although I'll acknowledge that vibe is subjective and maybe we simply didn't click. I ordered a mezcal margarita, which was pretty forgettable. The bigger issue was the service. I waited about 30 minutes for a salad and eventually had to ask what was happening before it appeared. I was told the kitchen was backed up, which I understand happens, but 30 minutes for a salad,with no communication along the way, is pretty wild. My second dish, a shrimp starter, was much better and honestly rescued this from being a one-star experience. There are clearly some good things coming out of the kitchen. But overall, the place had a strangely unwelcoming feel. What stood out most was a lack of hospitality: little engagement, limited attentiveness, and no real sense that anyone was particularly concerned about the experience. Maybe it was an off night, but for a restaurant at this price point, the front-of-house team could use much more focus on making guests feel welcome and looked after. The shrimp starter was good, but a very odd experience overall.

Over an hour between the appetizer, an average plate of karaage, and the sashimi and sushi. This on a night with the upstairs closed and the place only half full. If the ama ebi has lost all its flavor, nothing else on the plate is fresh. Only the seabream stood out. The saddleback roll, which the waiter talked up, was the biggest disappointment. Only the oshinko maki was good. The most tenured sushi chef was passionate about the product. No one else in the kitchen was doing much to help him, considering how many cuts he had to rescue. It's not a sushi bar unless you can see the freshness of the fish on display. Telling, then, that Medo has no display case at a sushi bar that should just be called a counter. $120 per person isn't expensive for sushi. But it is for the experience we just had.

The staff are all pleasant and attentive. We've never gotten to sit outside but I'm sure it would be lovely with the brook down below. All the food we have had has also been delicious. The only downfall of the food itself is that you have to pay extra if you want more chips and salsa. Due to that we just get multiple appetizers, which have all been fantastic. This most recent time we tried to queso and got the fries to go along with them which was a great idea, they paired wonderfully. We've also had the nachos and the street corn which are both delicious as well. For our meal my husband and I both get the carne asada which is fantastic. It comes with a chipotle butter and the steak itself is more of a classic strip steak rather than what you typically get for a carne asada. I love the way they make it here! The beans, rice and cheese enchilada are the perfect complement to the steak and the vegetables soak up all the steak juice and chipotle butter. They're also very well seasoned with garlic as is. We forgot to take photos of the steak because we were so excited to eat it! Lastly, the margaritas are delicious as well of course!

I ordered a shot of casamigos and got no salt and a lime wedge that still had the pith. Maybe good for squeezing, but not to bite into after a shot. Then, I ordered the tacos al pastor and I got guacamole, salad, sour cream and cheese for some reason, but no salsa or limes. I got asked if I wanted hot sauce, but I don't know why I'd want to add that instead of a green or red salsa. I didn't even worry about asking for salsas because I could only eat my first taco out of politeness. Pastor was sweet, beans and rice were super salty and somehow it still tasted very bland, the tortilla was cold and it did not taste like a taco al pastor at all. I did not have high hopes for this place but once I saw the staff I assumed it would be at least acceptable. It wasn't. Total bill with food for my partner was 88 after tip with a shot, a margarita, an enchilada and these "tacos".
