I tried both places and they were 100% correct. You can order anything and be happy but you HAVE to try their cobbler or bread pudding, so check out their dessert board. Also, reservations are highly recommended--I think I saw them have to turn people away during their dinner rush. Cheers!

Went here for brunch recently, and found it to be very cozy inside. The ambience was lively and…read morejoyful. I had an omelette with home fries and a salad. They were out of home fries, so substituted french fries. The service was OK. I found the staff a little bit unfriendly, even though I was sitting right at the bar in front of them. They were much more friendly with people that they seemed to know. Overall, this is a great place to grab a drink or brunch. The food and the vibe are good.

They have such a great menu and many drinks available. We got the potstickers to share and they were really unique and very yummy. The burger was also fantastic and gone in minutes!! And the pastas were delicious as well. The Charlie Brown IPA was also great but they have an extensive list of drinks. There are vegan and gluten free options as well. Id highly recommend coming with a group or even solo and enjoying the place!

Perfect little lunch after a day of strolling and shopping in saugerties…read more We decided on a few small Plates and split the jerk chicken sandwich. The focaccia bread that the sandwich was served as and accompanied the magic mushrooms- incredible. Meant to ask if it's baked in house but forgot- but inspired to start baking some!! The Asian wings are probably the best wings I've ever had. At first I was afraid I wouldn't care for them as they seemed to have a strong all spice aroma but the blend of spices is just perfect. Disco fries were very tasty- would definitely go for the black bean chili after tasting it on the disco fries. The mushrooms are a bit heavy on the thyme but delicious. Wish yelp allowed half stars as this would be a solid 4.5 but being they don't giving it a full 5. Oh and great service, comfy relaxing atmosphere.

Came here to celebrate a birthday. Blackbarn Hudson Valley is a beautiful venue that has the…read morepotential to host weddings and great place for date nights and celebrations. Even though it is a classy setting with views of the dam in the outdoor seating area, they are also very family friendly. They have a kids menu and their drinks came with cute plastic cartoon straw cups. The $17 option comes with ice cream for the kids too. This place could have easily gotten 5 stars if the food wasn't all overly salty (even my kids didn't even eat their fries). It's a pity because everything was plated so beautifully. Their octopus appetizer was not fresh and their ahi tuna was overcooked. When our waiter took our order he didn't ask what our kids wanted to drink even though a drink came with the kids, and we were charged $4 for each when we ordered them drinks. They quickly corrected it when we pointed it out but we also had to remind them about the kids' ice cream (which they mixed up the kids' order too). They did waive the cake cutting fee as we had a party of 10. The only dish that was enjoyable was their roast chicken with black rice. Nevertheless, it is still a nice place to visit if you want a place to relax with a beautiful atmosphere and welcoming to families. The staff were all very friendly and kind.

Pros: Beautiful venue, amazing view of the little waterfall outside, great service from the staff…read more If you stay at the hotel you get a little voucher for a free wine for dinner or cocktail for brunch (per guest). I thought, wow what a great deal! It gets you in the door. Cons: Food. The meal fell short. Management didn't train staff on menu details, not blaming the server but if I ask details like the brand of ice cream or about the coffee I'd hope they knew where things were sourced from. (This is coming from someone who was a server and had to know these details, so don't come for me!) We ordered the charcuterie board which was pretty good. Then it kinda went downhill. My vegetable lasagna was...strange. Some bites were good, then after a while I thought...is this even pasta? The dough was thick like baked pizza bread with chunks of vegetables loaded in layers. Was it homemade pasta? If so, it was awful. The sauce for the crispy salsa verde half chicken was too vinegar-y. The black bean salsa was black beans with mashed avocado? Like a guacamole sauce? Big sigh. Next, dessert--even though the server recommended the peachy empanadas we chose the ice cream sandwich flight. It arrived, 3 ugly little sandwiches. I thought, maybe it'll taste deliciously homemade! Hopeful, I took a bite of the middle one and gagged. I said, maybe it's not my flavor. Next sandwich. Took a bite, discreetly spat it out. The server apologized profusely when we told her it was no good--I did feel bad. She didn't make it, not her fault. So she offered us something else. We chose her recommendation--the peachy empanadas. Oh boy! Listen...Peaches are in season, why are the peaches in this empanada crunchy??? The empanada dough was crispy outside and raw and doughy inside. When you bite it it stretches. The ice cream was great though. Tasted like vanilla haagen-dazs. I asked, is this haagen-dazs? She wasn't sure. Ayiyay, this is a note for management. Anyway, empanadas were also a bust. I was ready to leave so we paid and left. The chef and pastry chef attended CIA, I had high hopes for this beautiful restaurant. If I ever come back it will be for a cocktail and the view. Maybe brunch. Maybe not. Also--Someone mentioned Miss Lucy's does a better job. I went to both of these establishments and agree.

The chicken was so crispy and well done and the chili sesame mayo was amazing. The Dutch is a very vibey spot for dinner, drinks, and watching sports or hanging out with friends! We came here for a date night and the food was delicious. Aside from the chicken sandwich, we also ordered the hot pretzels with beer cheese and the chicken pot pie. Everything was fantastic. They also have a great selection of drinks and the seasonal pumpkin ale was so good and you can never miss with the Hudson North cider. The bartenders were super chill and nice and everything came out timely. Will definitely be back and I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

Main Street Restaurant has swiftly risen to one of our favorite en-route lunch destinations when we…read morehead up the Hudson Valley. We've yet to run into an issue finding a seat, the food is delicious, the portions are monstrous, and the prices are utterly reasonable in this economy. Their menu offerings veer toward Tex-Mex, and I'd suggest playing in that sandbox, especially for first-timers. In my limited experience, that's where their kitchen truly shines. Special mention for the birria tacos platter, which is plenty of food for two people, unless you're both ravenous. The venue seems to get some reliable lunch traffic, and staff are constantly bustling. On our first visit, we were served by one of the co-owners, who was wonderfully personable and attentive, even when she was very clearly hustling around making sure things were running smoothly. During our most recent visit, she wasn't present, and I felt like we spent a good bit of time trying to flag down a server--both to put in an order, and again when we were ready to pay our bill. I've certainly heard from multiple proprietors in the region that staffing is a bit of a headache, so it stands to reason that Main Street Restaurant isn't immune. This is a lovely representation of the charming local gems you can find in Saugerties. Considering its small geographical footprint, this hamlet punches way about its weight class in terms of character and quality.

I've been to enough whiskey bars in the Northeast US to raise my eyebrows at their claim of having…read more"the largest selection of Irish whiskey in the country." They definitely have the best selection in the Hudson Valley and beyond that... I'm just not sure how far beyond. Instead, I'll raise my glass and enjoy the casual pub atmosphere as well as the food and drink. Armed with some suggestions from well-researched friends, we enjoyed our pours here this evening. Prices feel more like we were drinking in Westchester County than Dutchess, but still okay. The information on their bourbons, scotches, and ryes, could be better, not just a brand name. If you enjoy burgers, you really can't go wrong here with any of the selections on the menu, accompanied by well-prepared and crisp fries. The burgers are cooked exactly to order, and these meals will come out quickly. The fries are perhaps a bit "Can we get you another drink?" salty. Service here is friendly and very casual, and you might get some tastings if you sit at the bar. They have stuff going on many evenings during the week. I'm sure they have reasons, but I'm very surprised at their cash-only policy. At least in my own circles, having plastic as a resource very often increases our likelihood of buying additional rounds of drinks. They do have an ATM in the back near the rest rooms. But in future visits, I'll be perfectly happy to exchange cash for my food and drink.

All four people left thinking how is this place still open. The drinks might have been non alcoholic drinks. My wife can't even drink one mix drink without catching a strong buzz after two she felt nothing. We had to go to Santa fa after leaving there and got her real drink. The food was lacking the flavor it once had the fries and rosemary was delicious and the burgers were done perfect and fish fry had a lot of fish in them. Now it is the complete opposite experience. I don't know if they had a chef change or not. If you like flavorless food and batter with fish flavor but no real fish in it this is the place for you. The place is a nice looking old fashion kind of place I hope they can turn it around.

Ever since we started coming up to the Catskills in the early 2000s- especially this part, hubs and…read moreI have passed this location (when it was Land & Sea) again and again- but would head elsewhere. Now that we live here, it feels like we're finally getting to savor the place instead of just passing through. Recently, hubs had been talking non-stop about Maestri's and planned to bring him for his Dec. birthday. But, he had gotten so sick, dinner never happened. Life moved on, his b'day came and went and so did the holidays. And just like that, the moment finally arrived. Long overdue, but worth the wait. Now mind you, we have another Italian restaurant we've been to numerous times closer to us in Woodstock- but they don't compare to the rich and hearty food here. Stepping inside here felt cozy and warm especially with all the snow we've been getting in the Catskills. Even the entrance alone has an old-world charm. From the jump, service was on point. My sangria was potent and hubs' Cosmos, held their own too. The caprese salad starter was a small letdown. When our server hyped beefsteak tomatoes, my expectations were set and plum tomatoes showed up instead. Still tasty, but once you promise beefsteak tomatoes, that's what I'm picturing. Despite that, my cod dinner in a garlicky tomato sauce, was everything and hubs loved every bite of his medium rare Delmonico steak. Dessert sealed the deal. When our server mentioned the chocolate mousse, I asked if it was a true chocolate mousse, his confident "yes" was all I needed. And wow- it was decadent. Hubs thought he'd never find a steakhouse worthy like what we used to experience when we lived in Westchester- but he just found his spot up in these boonies. As for me, that mousse didn't just end the meal, it took it over. Plus service from Nonna Maestri (Gina) rocks big time!!!

Many flavors and add ons to choose from, like ice pipes and coconut charcoal. The beverages were just alcohol with the choice of juice, such as lemon, cranberry, pineapple, or orange.

They were a bit expensive for the quality and presentation. There was only one server, so at times it was difficult to flag him down, but he was very friendly.
