b.overly_delicious @fromthegroundup.cafe_ Highland, NY: Had…read morethe pleasure of dining at From The Ground Up Cafe, in Highland this week. One of the most unique cafes I've been to in recent memories. From the Ground Up, is located deep inside a 55+ senior living townhouse community. It was a little tricky to find driving through the different buildings in the complex. Once we figured it out, we were greated with a very large dining area that was super clean with big windows and plenty of natural light. They have a few cases of baked goods and coffee, as well as weekly specials. One look at the menu and I knew my order. Shakshuka (traditionally African or Middle Eastern) is a dish of eggs poached in a spiced tomato sauce with onions, peppers, garlic, chickpeas, and kale served with bread to soak up that wonderful red sauce and egg yolk. At $14, this was a steal. The Rueben and fries were pretty standard and my iced latte was decent. Finished things off with a chocolate chip cookie skillet topped with vanilla ice cream. Had plenty of leftovers to bring home. They do a lot of catering and use the cafe as a home base for their 2 food trucks. The chef is a CIA grad. Seems with the 100s of townhouses, they have a built in customer base. They offer some pretty standard stuff like paninis, waffles, omelettes, and burgers. Next time, I want to try the shepherds pie, fish and chips, or chicken and waffles. #highland #fromthegroundupcafe #shakshuka #coffee #reuben #hveats #hvfoodies #eater #igeats #ulster #hudsonvalley #ulstereateriesunited #cookieskillet #ulstereateriesunfiltered #cafe #townhouses @above_weddings

The food was delicious and the service is quick and friendly. Great spot for a coffee and breakfast. I parked around the corner and walked a minute to get in...parking was tight right in front.

After returning for many years..this beautiful property is falling apart. I reserved Pony's Pad and upon arrival they moved me to another less appealing space due to "maintenance issues" with no prior notice. Too many issues to note here. Management didn't call me back to address the issues I had after several emails and messages. Trip Advisor recent reviews confirm negative experiences as well. Use caution if considering this location for any type of stay or wedding venue, Its future is uncertain. (see above link regarding foreclosure status)

After we walked in one of the waitresses informed us that we can sit wherever we want. I instantly felt like I was inconveniencing her with my presence by the way she said it. Didn't take it personal just yet. What appeared to be the hostess came over a few minutes after we sat down and handed us menus that were very dirty. I looked at my husband and said I am ready to walk out of this place bc I am starving and it looks like they are too short staffed right now which is understandably out of a businesses control sometimes. But wait, instead of the waitress coming to our table to bring water or ask us if we would like a drink, she went to another table with a man and a child that she obviously knew well, and started eating their french fries and talking. That's when we decided to leave and spend our money elsewhere. So unprofessional. That couldn't wait? I hate to leave a review like this, but if I was the owner of this business, I would not want someone like that working for me, representing what seems to be a great place.

We were in Saugertes for my birthday weekend. My girlfriend had never had authentic Jamaican food…read morebefore so I went to Yelp, checked the reviews and settled on Top Taste. Mind you, I'm a bit of a food snob. Having lived in Brooklyn NY, for a while and had lots of experience with both great and not-so-great Jamaican food, prepared by Jamaican immigrants, I was looking forward to some great food and wasn't disappointed. When we walked in we were greeted by the owners and family. My girlfriend had her first experience with oxtail, I had the brown stew chicken. The food was tasty, well cooked and not too spicy. We ate-in and enjoyed the food till we were full and took the rest to go. My girlfriend had some great conversation with the ladies and told them it was my birthday. They all sang me Happy Birthday and then gifted me some delicious rum cake. If you are in the area I would suggest you seek them out.

Seems like in New Paltz everyone is vegan so it's nice to actually get some steak for a change! We were seated in the main room and it's super huge and green. Wish we came here while the sunset was still there so we can really intake the farmland and nearby area but it was dark by the time it hit 5/6pm in the winter! Service was great and fast. I was recommended that the espresso martini is the best but upon trying it it was super alcoholic and less espresso and the banana liqueur was interesting take. I think it wasn't my fave espresso martini but definitely packed a punch. This place is definitely super affordable compared to most I've been in the city which was a nice change and we ordered so much we were so full and had to pack up most of the items. The dishes are extremely large so come hungry. The complimentary bread was so yummy and soft- I definitely ordered some extra because the bread was amazing. For appetizers we ordered the oysters, the special beef tenderloin chili and the baked clams with the maple brussel sprouts. The oysters were fresh- super enjoyable. The chili was okay - nothing too remarkable and the baked clams were super tasty I would say as well. The brussel sprouts werent crispy on the outside but the flavoring of the apple and maple made it super addicting and it became one of my favorite dishes near the end of the meal. We also got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken and the steak frites which was cooked to perfection. Super yummy but also super filling so we did not expect the portions to be so huge. The whole menu was great and I somehow preferred the seafood over the main dishes but I definitely will come back for another meal if I'm ever in the area. It wasn't mind blowing as a meal but definitely worth it. They paid attention to detail and set up the creme brûlée perfectly and that was actually one of the best parts of the meal so thank you Henry for hosting my partners birthday and would glad to come again!

Our friendly server Rob was extremely attentive and provided descriptions on the various entrees. I started with a light, delicious cherry Bellini. Not too sweet, a beautiful color of pink bubbly goodness! Just what the doctor ordered! Husband had a great local IPA out of Brooklyn. When he couldn't decide, he was offered a samples to try. My entree was the best Pasta Bolognese I've had in a very long time! I'm an Italian and it transcended me back to childhood in my mother's kitchen! The rich abundant meat flavor blended perfectly with the spiced tomato sauce! It was a truly delicious dish ladled over the cooked just right al dente pasta! Deliciousness at 100% ! I highly recommend it! Husband had the huge, thick cut , bone in pork chop! Unbelievable flavor! The glaze was deliciously savory with hidden tastes of sweet Asian over perfectly charred cut up sweet potatoes and sticky rice on the side. Both our dinners portions were very large offering plenty for another meal at home. This was our fourth visit to the restaurant . Next time we are traveling up here to Poughkeepsie for work from Boston area we will certainly return! Each visit gets better and better! It makes me realize why familiar faces return regularly to the restaurant. The owner Tom is so welcoming and friendly. The food is not only excellent but the friendly atmosphere the whole staff provide makes it a winning combination! You all are so lucky to have this restaurant near by! Deliciousness and the best hospitality with fair pricing is hard to beat! I wish I took pictures!
