So for the food, love shrimp tostadas, Never had them before but very flavorful bites and appreciate they used jumbo shrimp and cooked them just right so them plump and juicy. For the Bouillabaisse which I made and had before, honestly it was perfect, all seafood was cooked perfectly, broth was flavorful and pretty generous on the portion. Only thing I was more shrimp, bread and broth. Otherwise definitely glad I got try here. Hard to figure out when up then since there hours and when open neon sign light up differ. Best bet is to get here after 1pm.

The atmosphere was calm, breezy, and had that laid-back summer night feel that makes you want to linger just a little longer. Food: 4.5/5 We kicked off with a couple of appetizers, and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. The pigs in a blanket were way more elevated than your average bar snack--wrapped well, seasoned with everything bagel spice, and super flavorful. A fun and unexpected highlight. The real star of the apps though? The watermelon and burrata salad. Juicy, fresh, light--it was the exact kind of dish you want on a summer night. Refreshing and satisfying all at once. For my entrée, I ordered the shrimp scampi but asked to add salmon for an extra protein boost (which they happily did). My husband got the seared tuna, and I'll admit--major food envy. His plate looked stunning and well-balanced, and he was thoroughly impressed. Service: 5/5 Everyone was so kind here. The staff checked in regularly, didn't rush us, and made sure we had what we needed without being overbearing. They also didn't blink when I asked to customize my entrée a bit, which I really appreciated. It made the whole meal feel even more relaxed and accommodating. Overall: A lovely spot to close out our trip. The food had thoughtful touches, the river view was peaceful, and the service was excellent. I'd definitely return--especially on a warm evening when you're craving something light, fresh, and a little special.

The decor is adorable--it feels like a hip, boho living room with beautiful plants and cozy hidden corners. The soft lighting and music created a wonderful ambiance that was enjoyed by the diverse mix of couples and families present. Loved that there were kids there :-) The service and food were equally excellent. Our waitress was kind and attentive, and our drinks arrived quickly. We particularly loved the broccoli cheddar fritters. My burger was delicious, especially the dipping sauce and fries, and my friend thoroughly enjoyed the steak. Thank you for a wonderful evening. I look forward to returning soon. Don't forget to check out the merch!

Snagged a last minute reservation at One With Land during a trip to the Hudson Valley. Our server…read moreEmory was kind and helpful -- she even learned the name of all six people at our table and remembered them for the entire dinner. The food at One With Land is sourced locally and tasted great. For our appetizer and main course we tried the potato croquettes, rainbow carrots, fusilli with short rib, garganelli primavera, rib eye steak, and the burger. Everyone's entrees tasted great and had large portion sizes. My favorite dish was the rainbow carrots with salsa macha -- the carrots were perfectly tender and the salsa macha had good flavor and spice. We ordered grandma's olive oil cake and dark chocolate-espresso torte for dessert, and the restaurant also brought out warm doughnuts as we were celebrating a birthday. All three desserts were delicious and unique, but the warm doughnuts with Nutella stole the show. The restaurant appears to be located in a historic house, and the interior decorating is very neutral and modern. Every detail large and small seemed carefully well thought out, from the service and table layouts to even the Aesop soap with pumice in the bathroom (that I would now like to buy). I'd recommend One With Land to anyone visiting the Hudson Valley area looking for great food or a romantic night out.

It's a small restaurant and the layout and decorations are perfect! I would suggest having a reservation if you can, because it is tiny but not in a hole in the wall kind of way more in a cool private elite dining room kind of way. Shout out to the bar tender who is amazing. Rumor is she was working at the restaurant that was here before (Hoot Owl) and she was so good the owners of this new restaurant brought her here. I can believe it her drinks are impeccable! A friend told me an experience before about how she got a drink and not because of the bar tender but because of her palate she didn't prefer it. She wasn't going to complain. She just didn't drink it. The staff noticed her drink wasn't touched and they asked her about it. She explained it wasn't her preference so they took it and got her something else. That's exceptional service! She didn't say it they went to her! 10/10, all restaurants should have such attentiveness and kindness towards their customers. Now ...the food!! Wow! I mean I dream about this shaved celery salad they have. Like it's celery, which don't get me wrong I personally think it's one of the most important ingredients in a dish but when it's added to something not when it's the main star. They managed to make it the main star and it's beautiful, sophisticated, and most importantly it tastes good. Honestly everything I have tried here is yummy. The burger is probably the cheapest entree on their menu which is about $24 if I remember correctly. Don't think because it's a lesser price point you are missing out on quality or taste.The burger is huge, the fries are perfectly seasoned and crisp, and the burger patty is juicy and flavorful. Oh and the bun! That soft pillow bun that is holding that juicy patty....drooling! I truly have not had a dish here that they have done bad and I hope they never prove me wrong. As pricing goes it's farm to table so expect a higher price point since they are using quality ingredients but it's not high enough that it will break the bank!

Ciao Bella -- A Special Occasion Worth the Occasion…read more We came for our wedding anniversary, arriving early on a Friday around 5pm. Ciao Bella is New Paltz's upscale Italian, and at that hour the restaurant was quiet and sun-drenched, light streaming through generous windows into a space that manages to feel both airy and elegant. I imagine it transforms into something darker and more intimate as evening settles in, but the brightness suited us just fine. Service was attentive and friendly throughout. No complaints, just not the kind of thing you leave talking about. The food, though, is worth talking about. A smoked salmon burrata appetizer was a genuinely lovely combination, and the golden beet salad was bright and well-composed. Entrees showed real care, seasoned and portioned thoughtfully rather than the aggressive abundance that passes for generosity at lesser places. The pistachio ricotta cake for dessert was the highlight: creative, not too sweet, and exactly the right size to split. Good value for what it is. Ciao Bella is the right answer for a special dinner in New Paltz, elevated without being stiff about it. Not an everyday spot, but exactly the right one when the occasion calls for it.

Our trusty Yelp app led us to this historic building and restaurant. I'm really glad we came to see some truly great architecture and learn some cool history of life before these United States. Even though the British tried to burn it down during the Revolutionary War, the family restored it to previous glory and it remained in their possession for over 200 more years! Now let's talk about the restaurant experience.... We were seated immediately and given a choice of indoor or covered outdoor seating. Laura came to get a drink order and offered some kids specials. She also put in our daughter's order right away so that she would be occupied and well fed. A chicken quesadilla with fries won her over and filled her up nicely. A bowl of New England clam chowder to start for me followed by a delicious Mushroom Omelette special. So fresh and tasty. The Mad Ukrainian ( formally MR or Mad Russian until the war broke out) had a delicious Reuben Sandwich with fries and a Garden Salad. After the salad and a half sandwich, she decided to save some room for dessert at another place nearby. Pair that up with a couple of local Beers and some soft drinks and coffee and we had an enjoyable lunch. Pricing is excellent compared to home prices and we ate with leftovers, drank, and got a historical glimpse back in time for less than $70. Home run in my book!
