    Thomas A.

    The Catskills does not seem to lack in quirky and oddball joints, huh? (I'm not even talking about Woodstock - although the combo of The Mud Club and Early Terrible surely takes the cake as to what I'm hinting at.) Add to the list: The Pines. Where you can drop some serious coin on their special of head-on (my kids were not expecting that, lemme tell you!) trout served cafeteria style and eating on large rocks (small boulders?) if you weren't able to snag a picnic table. The locals know enough to bring a blanket to relax in the field while a country band is playing their hearts out about 10 yards away from the restaurant/lodge. (As for the live music... you wouldn't be able to find two cuter kids that were walking the grounds holding a metal tub asking for donations for the band on stage.) The food was really good (loved the spicy broccolini on top of the trout but it was overkill with all those creamed leeks underneath the fish, and the burger's English muffin bun wasn't sturdy enough). And they had a few interesting drinks and beers (the Mrs. was all sorts of giddy after just one can of their homemade margarita). (Having to bus our own table from start to finish - I can see where that might irk some when you see them 'suggest' a tip that ranges from 18% to 22% when you're doing most of the work... but when I'm on vacation and buzzed from their Dobble pilsner - it's all good.) Cost and logistics (thankfully we had a portable chair in the trunk of our car since we could only snag three chairs of varying sizes and a too-tiny table) aside... we're fans (that would come back in the future) even if things were a bit clunky. Somehow this seems to be the case for every Catskills joint we hit... ample parking and still it's not enough so I had to park on the main road, halfway into the brush.

    Flavorful sandwich with under cooked and bland warm potato salad.

    Really great atmosphere with some of the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. Service: Some of the very best, most attentive waitstaff in the Catskills. Ambiance: Wonderful eclectic decor and different seating areas make it perfect for a date or a gathering with the family. Food: This is the only are where I have gripes. While I appreciate the fresh locally sourced ingredients, many of the dishes fail to elevate those ingredients into something better than the sum of their parts. This is especially true in the summer when their dinner menu consists almost entirely on some variation of a salad. It's not that they are bad by any stretch of the imagination, its just that for ~$20-26 (with protein) you expect them to be better executed with more thought given to the overall cohesive of the dish. Bottom line: Amazing place to go for brunch, but there are better places to go for dinner/drinks.

    Trout chowder

    Supercute restaurant with a chill vibe! We have visited a few restaurants in area previously and had no idea this one existed. My burger was exactly what I was craving and my bf ordered the trout chowder and vegan bowl. Chowder was delish !!!!! Vegan burger was dry and tasteless but salad with Vinaigrette was great. Looking forward to checking out this restaurant when the weather warms up and you're free to eat outside alongside the fire pit. The local beer was delicious also.

    Had a nice late lunch here on our recent trip. (Note that they are often not open at dinner time.)…read morewe were told that the food and service were good and that they had a few unusual local ingredients incorporated into their menu. For this reason, I decided to go with an Arnold Bennet skillet that included smoked trout. If you at all like the thought of lox and eggs, then you definitely need to try this one. It also had Parmesan, chives, and crème fraiche mixed in. The taste of this combination on a piece of toast was delicious! And something I would happily enjoy again and at reasonable prices. Plus, it was enough food that I finished it for breakfast the next morning. The seating area looks and feels like a typical NY diner. Our waitress was quick and efficient and the coffee was good and fresh. Especially with the limited number of dining locations in the Catskills area, Phoenicia diner is definitely worth a stop.

    This diner definitely gets packed, but thankfully, the wait usually isn't too long!…read more The milkshakes were a little disappointing--they mostly tasted like melted ice cream rather than an actual milkshake. The cinnamon roll was the same one I had back in March, but unfortunately, the texture wasn't as soft this time. It was noticeably harder, although it was still generously covered in frosting like before. The scrambled eggs were soft and cooked well, but the biscuits and gravy were pretty heavy. The potatoes, however, were amazing! They were nice and crispy, which I really enjoyed. My daughter really enjoyed her meal. She ordered the French toast, sausage, bacon, pancakes, and eggs, and she was very happy with everything. Overall, the food was a mixed experience for me, but there were definitely some highlights--especially those crispy potatoes!

But somewhere in the last few months, the kitchen's lost its touch. Two weeks ago my pasta came out looking rich and promising, but the cheese had clearly been melted ages before- cold, congealed and sad by the time it hit the table. I had to send it back just to get it warmed. Then came their famous chocolate ganache balls we love with strawberry coulis. Except now, the scoops are deformed with zero coulis and replaced with caramel instead. Why change something that worked so well? Hubs and I thought maybe it was just an off night.

We haven't even tried the outside specialty pizza stand, because we love all the things inside so much. 100% go for the specials as available -- they do vary the menu enough to make it so you might see something different on it with every repeat visit. Throw in incredibly pleasant service, and a sort of party-like-summer-will-never end casual ambiance, outdoor seating but really nice air conditioning inside, and rather stylish restrooms, what more do you need? How about WiFi, in an area with a lot of dead cell areas? Just be aware parking can be at a bit of a premium during the busy summer months, and it's a weird turn onto the old state road in order to get there.

The gnocchi was just alright and probably wouldn't be something I'd order again. It wasn't very firm and tended to stick together with the other pieces. The steak, on the other hand, was incredible! It was tender, juicy, and cooked beautifully. The crispy vegetables paired really well with the steak and added a nice texture to the dish. We ended up ordering more bread, and I loved it so much that I took some home to enjoy for breakfast the next morning! Overall, a beautiful spot with a romantic ambiance and some standout dishes.
