We were seated in a few minutes and waitress grabbed our drink order. Margaritas of course, mine was frozen. Good amount of tequila, ice ground down very fine and good flavor. Next came the apps and they were the star. We skied all day so had a big appetite. We got the guac, the salsa and chips and the Tuna Tartare. Guac was amazing and the tuna was so good and plenty to eat. Salsa was fine but not mind blowing. I'd get the tuna everytime! I had the surfer burrito which had Jumbo shrimp, seasoned well and served with rice, beans and a nicely dressed salad. Everything was great. Place is kid friendly, casual feel with a touch of fancy. Located in the Hotel Dylan, plenty of parking to be had. Prices were very reasonable. Not far from Kingston on Route 28 and worth the trip.

Bartender scooping ice with new and used Glass cups strait from the ice bin, thats a Healthcare violation. But the worst of all was the server and manager increasing the tip amount after the customer left! I know staffing is hard but Santa Fe Woodstock needs some serious oversight.

Yesterday, my sweetheart had a goat cheese omelette, and she loved it. It was perfectly cooked the first morning. We were here. We had the granola bowl and that was amazing too. Today my sweetheart had the shrimp and grits, I had eggs, sausage and sour dough toast. All excellent. I highly recommend this delightful spot and you will enjoy!

They are only open for breakfast and lunch though they don't open super early. Make sure to check the times. There's a hallway you walk down to get into the restaurant. It's a nice space though not huge. There was also a patio area outside but down the block a little bit. When I went it was somewhat busy but there wasn't a wait to get a table though. Not sure if they were a little short handed but service was a little slow but besides that very good. Breakfast was good and I'll definitely be back to try lunch.

Spent the weekend visiting the Hudson River-eastern Catskills area and decided to visit Woodstock…read more There's no shortage of restaurants to choose from, but after driving past Pearl Moon the vibes were what we were looking for, for an early lunch. We were seated right away and had the option to choose from their brunch or lunch menu. There's something for just about everyone, including vegan options. I opted for a Spicy Luna cocktail, my partner selecting a draft beer. The cocktail was excellent with the perfect kick of spice. We opted to have Lenny B's Smoke Trout Salad, the French Onion soup and split the Smoked Duck Quesadilla. The food came out in a timely manner, made with fresh ingredients, and was very tasty. Between the food, the service and the ambiance, if we lived locally, we'd definitely come back.

This restaurant exceeded my expectations, the food, the vibe, the staff--all great…read more We started with the homemade pierogis and Thai style mussels--both incredible. We also asked for a side of bread, worth the $2 and I ripped chunks to dip & soak up the rich mussel broth. Mmm!!!! Before ordering I wasn't sure what I was going to eat so I couldn't pick between a red or white wine. Orange is usually my go-to if it's on a menu and that night they had one option--slightly tangy and tart while still very smooth... My husband's calf's liver was cooked perfectly medium rare, a nice thick cut too and it came with a tall creamy dollop of whipped potatoes. My jumbo scallops were tender and surrounded by what seemed like rings of flavor...the center was creamy local corn, then leek & bacon ragout, and lastly a perimeter of basil pesto. I loved the little pile of sautéed chanterelle mushrooms on the side as well--They paired well dipped into the calf's liver demi glace reduction. Dessert was a bitter chocolate pot de crème that I finished off with the last bit of my 2nd glass of wine. Perfect. If I'm in the area again I will definitely be back!

We started with the gambas with garlic oil I could literally put on everything, the home made pierogis that were outrageous m, and the scallops that were like butter. I was so happy with the chicken breast in the porcini- tarragon cream sauce and my boyfriend loved the steak. It was cooked perfectly medium rare. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. The restaurant is super cozy in a farmhouse setting. We really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back!

Walked into a homey space with many booths on the sides for privacy, friendly service and a lively bar. My kind of scene. Apparently the chef knows what he's doing at this establishment! I love me some dry rub baby back ribs; the half rack I ordered was finger lickin' good! Very little fat, just lean delicious tender pork coated with a bit of glistening sauce. I chose to kick up my taste experience using the generous condiments on the table, combining the sweet BBQ sauce with hot mustard. Perfecto! Opted for house made slaw and baked beans as my sides, they were so flavorful. I loved that the slaw wasn't drowning in mayo, just enough to make it moist. Partner got a cheeseburger and fries, he said it was excellent. I pilfered a few of his fries and indeed they were fantastic - crispy,thin and fresh. Plenty of parking, friendly service, reasonable prices, generous portions. A real gem!

When the waiter brought out the cup of chili I thought oh no not again! However it was the right thing. Was very meaty and hardy as well. The sourdough onion rings were excellent. Perfectly executed. The feast platter, well worth the price to try pretty much literally everything on the menu. It could probably feed 4 people. Did sit outside with the puppy, surprisingly enough had the entire outdoor section to ourselves. Waiter and staff were good about not forgetting their only outdoor diners. As far as NYS BBQ goes this place is great. Give it a try

A place where you're welcome with open arms and your dog too! (Porch area only, but still!)…read more Finally a roadside eatery that serves (fast-ish) homemade, amazing, southerny, comfort food! Came on a freezing Thursday evening and had to of course sit inside (can't wait to come here in the warmer months). You order at the counter, pick from their awesome menu, a daily menu that has different items of the day is also available. They make what's fresh and in season. Things like meatless Monday and Trippin' Thursday are definitely a lot of fun to try! Because it was cold and we had just spent the afternoon at a local spa, we were starved. We wanted warm, comfort food and that's exactly what we got at Dixon! Also it's not just comfort food it's comfort staff, they're pretty rad. ***Finally*** comfort, southern twist food, with vegan and vegetarian options. THANK YOU! Droolworthy menu items like the oyster mushroom melt, baked mac and cheese with the option to add local mushrooms (instead of bacon). This place has it all: from buttermilk mashed potatoes to in house fresh made cornbread, you might have a hard time just ordering a few things off the menu. We decided to order different things to try so we got things like the amazing smoked squash (hugeeee and nicely portioned) that comes with those roasted local mushrooms exploding with flavor and texture). Did I say we love mushrooms? Because we sure stinkin do! Got the mushroom and white bean chili (THANKS FOR IT NOT AUTOMATICALLY HAVING HAM OR BACON IN IT) which was DELICIOUS. Paired our meals with buttermilk mashed potatoes, cornbread and the Memphis style slaw. Ok also got to try their kimchi which I recommend NOT skipping. I know I already mentioned this place is dog friendly and really loves dogs. They have a special dog patty made dog friendly with no salt or seasonings so your furry baby can also enjoy. Dogs allowed outside only but it's gorgeous out there so worth it! Thank you Dixon for being more than a roadside food joint, for having variety in the menu, for including most dietary needs, being obsessed with mushrooms as much as we are and mostly, for thinking about the dogs and even having a dedicated patty for them! Can't wait to be back!

Parking was available, tables were available, they weren't out of anything we ordered. So far so good. We started out with drinks. I went with a classic rosé and this brand, Prisma, was surprisingly delicious. The oyster mushroom bahn mi was average in my opinion. It was messy, and the bread was a bit too toasted and hard. Lots of flavor though, and the employee did warn me that it was spicy. Street corn was solid!!! Buttery, cheesy and complimented my meal perfectly. Highly recommend getting it as a side. Last but not least, the sweet potato pie. It was not rich in sweet potato flavor, but I thoroughly enjoyed the crust. It satisfied my sweet tooth and for that, I can't be upset. Decent place to grab a beer and a quick bite if you're ever in Woodstock, NY.
