    Amazing time spent here. Our server Taylor was so attentive and so sweet. A really relaxing & excellent time. Taylor really added to our experience, would love to come back again!

    short ribs

    Went here and sat at the bar after a long day of climbing. It is a nice atmosphere, the service was wonderful, and the short ribs were some of the best I've ever had. Also they got the potato to short rib ratio right...

    Burrata
    Kristin A.

    Stopped in for dinner Saturday night while spending a weekend in the Hudson Valley. I made a reservation via email a week prior but we changed our seats to the bar when we arrived since there was space and we wanted a more casual vibe. The bartender working Saturday night was very friendly and chatted with us throughout our meal. To start, we shared the burrata special which came with 4 pieces of toasted bread. For our mains, I had the pumpkin ravioli special and my boyfriend tried the meatloaf. Both dishes were generous portions and very good. We finished off the meal with the cheesecake. We also each ordered the mule off the cocktail menu which they made with ginger ale vs. ginger beer which gave it a nice taste. Was a very enjoyable meal and glad we stopped by while visiting the neighborhood

    Syrah braised short rib.
    Steven S.

    Made a last minute reservation Thursday for their dinner. It was pouring out there, but they have an screened-in porch area that we can sit. We were there for their duck breast, but they were out; they have a double duck confit for the night in place of the duck breast. So we got the duck confit, strip steak, and braised short rib for the 4 of us. Honestly, their food was mediocre at best; the steak was not seasoned well, the duck confit was a bit too salty, and the braised short ribs were kind of tough. They are missing half of the items in their dessert menu also. So food was worth 3 stars. The extra star is for their accommodation. It was pouring rain outside, rain was splashing in through the screen. The owner / manager lady was really helpful when we expressed our concern. Made multiple suggestions to help, even offering to move us to another section, thankful for that. Their pre-caution with patrons is superb. No guests can come in without masks, and they can only take masks off when seated. Hope we will be back in the area in the fall to try something new in their menu.

    Bruschetta special
    Laura A.

    One of the best meals my parents and I have had in a long while. I was hesitant based on the stars, but the ingredients in their dishes looked stellar, so we decided to make a reservation. We were so happy with the meal we made reservations for dinner again later this week. We had the bruschetta appetizer, which had hens of the woods, ricotta, andcarmelized onions, and it was superb. My parents had the duck confit and I had the mussels, and both were stellar (I was tempted to ask for a soup spoon, the mussels broth was so good). The staff are so lovely, and I could not recommend this restaurant more. If I ever hear people mention coming to this area, it will be my go-to recommendation!

    If your in the Catskills and are looking for a place to eat this is it. This is the 2nd time I…read morehave been here and I Love this restaurant. All of the staff here are really nice & friendly. We started with Drinks. I had the Martini Special for the 4th of July and my husband had a Apple Spritzer made with Champagne. We went out to dinner today for my birthday. We started with the crispy brussel sprouts appetizer. It is sooo good. We had the Pan Seared Chicken which came with Fresh sautéed Green Beans and Polenta. The polenta was served in a square. I liked it that way and it made it easy to dunk in the Mushroom Gravy that came with the Chicken. My Mom had the Pan Seated Chicken too but they accommodated her by making a separate gravy minus the butter and hers was served with Salad & French Fries. We also had the Steak Tacos and a Watermelon Salad which was also delicious. We ended with dessert which was a Rubard Lemon tart and Black Raspberry Ice Cream wth whipped cream and a cherry. We totally enjoyed ourselves. My Moms have been coming to this restaurant for years. They also have a outdoor area behind the main restaurant called The Hill whete they have live music. The Restaurant is very clean, there is stonework throught out. It has a very warm relaxing vibe to it. As walk through the doors you are Always Welcomed with a Smile. Thank you for a very enjoyable dinner

    Food was decent but the prices are wild. We are visiting July 3rd and it is incredibly hot in the…read morerestaurant. It has to be like 70-80 degrees in here. We could barely eat the food it was so hot... there was also no air flow and everyone at our table could barely breathe it felt like, hence why it was hard to enjoy anything. I get that there is a heatwave, but we called around to many restaurants who closed down due to the heat so we felt like this was a safe bet. Took around 45 mins to get the food as well. Staff was sweet, but we lost our waitress halfway through which was aggravating. Our food came out and we asked for more drinks (soft drinks) and condiments and she never came back until we hunted her down for the check. Don't think we will be coming back.

    Moonburger has been on my radar for quite some time. I don't normally make it up near New Paltz,…read morethough drive past it enough to go upstate to see family. My mom and I had an event nearby so we picked up some burgers beforehand. There is plenty of street parking on Main St and we managed to get a spot right out front. This location is very small with about 5 seats. There is a kiosk you can order from or from the counter. I ordered the classic cheeseburger while my mom chose the vegetarian option. We both ordered fries as well. The cheeseburger came with a ton of toppings making it very flavorful. Definitely a better option than other fast food joints, as I didn't feel sluggish post meal. Part of me wanted to try the milkshake but will save that for when I visit their Manhattan location.

    To the lovely woman at the counter on Friday, August 15th around 9:45p who made sure I was ordering…read moreexactly what I wanted, I hope you get everything you want out of life and that your days are filled with love, always! We found street parking right in front of Moonburger on our way to dinner down the street. The way the aroma of deliciousness followed us for atleast a 1/4 of a mile, I knew I was coming back for one. After dinner and little drinking, I was happy Moonburger was still open, the interior was small and packed, with a bench inside and right outside for waiting. I headed to the counter, although they do have a touch screen ordering option below their mounted menu screens. I attempted my little order but the woman at the counter stopped me, offering a little background on their burger types and option of impossible patties or beef. I settled on a Beef Cheeseburger with their special sauce and no crispy onions. The burger came out piping hot, with a fresh beef smash burger and that good cheese that melts perfectly! Ummm hello! This is now my go to burger spot! I loved it, tasting a hint of Dijon mustard in the special sauce. At about $8.50/ cheeseburger. I was pleased with the price and the service. The wait was maybe 7 mins. I demolished that burger and headed home. Until next time, I'm hollering at the Moon for you! Signed, The Happy Hour Huntress
