“Great staff, great pizza, cool place.”

“Visited Catskills for my birthday and I HAD to come here. Mainly to support a Latin modern restaurant. You have to make a reservation in advance. The ambiance and aesthetic of it gives me camp pulp fiction vibes. It was pretty late when we got here so we couldn’t see anything outside of the window which added to the vibe. We started off with mocktails, The Spice girl (deep red), which had a hibiscus pomegranate undertone. The real star was the Face Plant (green), which was more of a lime coconut flavor. Not at all overwhelming and very refreshing. They did their thing with that one! My friend and I both ordered the lamb which was good and it came with warm tortillas. The appetizers are creative. I decided to go with the Pistachio tamal per my servers recommendation and it was 🤌🏼💋. I loved it! It was streamed and not too sweet and melted in my mouth. Go here if you want to be bougie lol”

“One of Hudson‘s hidden gems and when I say hidden, I mean it it’s around the corner from the Google location, but it’s worth the hunt. Expect lines and expect the best pastries,. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Owner is awesome!!! Food is amazing- I am addicted to the Rice Porridge 🌾🍚🤍 (Should be called Heaven in a Cup)”

“We had a family celebration meal in the private dining room. 5 stars plus! Everything was amazing! Couldn’t have been be more pleased.”

“The Avalon Lounge is by far my favorite hang. Great vibe, eclectic music choices, Korean food- how could you not love it?”

“Excellent. 5 stars. Can’t wait to go back”

“The tiramisu at Via Cassia in Hudson, NY is absolutely exceptional — hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s perfectly balanced: rich and creamy mascarpone layered with delicate, espresso-soaked ladyfingers that melt in your mouth without being soggy. The dusting of cocoa on top adds just the right touch of bitterness to complement the sweetness. Every bite feels light yet indulgent, with that authentic Italian flavor that’s hard to find outside of Italy.”

“We were out and about in Hudson today and we were a little hungry so we stopped into kitties and I had probably one of the best egg sandwiches I ever had. I highly recommend the egg sandwich with sauerkraut. The vibe in there was very comfortable iced coffee Was nice and strong. They had a great bakery selection and a lot of local products. So if you’re coming out of the train station in Hudson, I say swing by kitties you won’t be sorry.”

“We just had the iced almond joy latte and the lemon poppyseed cruffin and both were delicious! First time there and we will definitely be back :) Loved the atmosphere and that this cozy little place exists in Cairo!”

“This place is the best around the owner and Chef are top-notch. I highly recommend this place.”

“I always have such a beautiful experience when I come to phos! I visit Catskill a few times a year from nyc & I always need to stop here. The steak is to die for & the drinks never miss. So delicious :)”

“high recommend this little place ! its cute and cozy SUPER FRIENDLY ! great food and service my mom said 5 star and she only speaks spanish☺️ she enjoyed deff will be back !!”

“My husband ran a 5K at Olana and we stopped here after - the waitress/host was VERY kind! I enjoyed the tallest (and probably best tasting) Avocado Toast I’ve ever had!! It was a very unique set-up and the food was nicely prepared & so fresh!!! I have to say, though, that as a wheelchair-user the creaky floor was unsettling.

“Absolutely amazing desserts and customer service!! Always so wondering to work with and extremely fair prices as well!! I highly recommend!😁”

“My husband and I had our 90-guest wedding at the Vanderbilt on 6/8/24 and it could not have been any better. We found the Vanderbilt on Airbnb when looking for a unique wedding venue, visited it in January of 2023, and booked it instantly- didn’t even see another venue. As stated in previous reviews, Henrietta made the planning process as easy as possible. We communicated mainly via email, but she allowed us to come to the space as often as we needed (I think between both of our families we were there 3 times). She also provided a list of vendors that previous wedding parties had used at the Vanderbilt, which I used for our planner, tent company, shuttle company and photographer (all great). When it came time for the tasting, we were provided with an extensive menu of food and drinks curated by Matt. We were blown away by the food. As the wedding day approached, Henrietta was easy to communicate with and flexible. She helped us plan a thorough rainy day plan B, and was the bearer of good news when she called me 2 days prior to tell me the weather looked good and we were going with plan A. The weekend of the wedding was incredible. Our families stayed in the 8 rooms upstairs Friday and Saturday night. Henrietta and Matt were in early on Saturday to get everything prepared. Their team was incredible. After the ceremony, Henrietta greeted us with champagne and a congratulations. When cocktail hour ended and we realized we were so busy that we didn’t even eat our appetizers, Henrietta put together a plate for us and brought it over. I’ve heard from a number of guests that the food was the best they’ve had at a wedding, and I agree. It’s important to note that the staff was also FUN to have around. Bartenders and servers interacted with guests and kept the energy light and fun. The next morning, Matt prepared a great breakfast (much needed) for those staying at the Vanderbilt, even including some leftovers of our banana pudding dessert from the night before. Now let’s quickly talk about the space. The Vanderbilt Lakeside is the most unique space I’ve ever seen. Each room has its own personality and is decorated meticulously and beautifully. I only had to bring in decorations for the tables, as the venue itself was already perfect. The deck was a perfect fit for our 90-person dinner. The lawn, outdoor bar, and lawn games were a hit for those who wanted to chill out rather than dance. The Bar room was the perfect size for our musicians and a dance floor. The rooms upstairs are clean, all about the same size, and all have their own bathrooms to make for a comfortable stay. Overall, I cannot recommend the Vanderbilt enough. We’re racking our brains for an excuse to host another event there. Henrietta and Matt are incredible to work with!”

“On our way home to Long Island, we stopped off in Leeds and found a gem…. Gracie’s !!! Everything was absolutely delicious!!! They even make their own ketchup!!! I highly recommend this place…. You will not be disappointed… 5 stars to Gracie’s!!!!!”

“Love sourdough bread fresh and so good”

“Upper Depot hosted an informal get together for graduates of Claverack Elementary School this past Friday. The food, drinks, and staff were all awesome. I wouldn't hesitate to hold an event at this facility in the future, or just have a beer or drink (and some food) after a long day. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

“I stopped here today to get lunch. I have been on this continent for 11 years and originally from Australia. This was the best focaccia and coffee I have had here!!!”

“Great Brisket sandwich and coleslaw! Thanks for working the Barn to Bridge Fall Festival”

“You guys were such a great part of my visit to Catskill. Your almond babka was AMAZING and I am still dreaming of it 5 days and 3,000 miles later.”

“An absolute breath of fresh air on Main Street in Catskill. Citiot needs a love button and a constellation of stars in recognition of how very outstanding it is at every level. Looking for art, classy curation, culture, real coffee, a workspace for creators and makers, and a smile to greet you ... CITIOT is all that and more.”

“Great atmosphere & amazing food”

“My family and I highly recommend this place. The staff is amazing and the food is always great. I went in there this morning and tried “The Trucker” sandwich…best…sandwich ever. So worth every penny we send here! I cannot say enough good things about this place.”

“The Juice Branch has amazing smoothies, bowls and sandwiches. Everyone in our family loves eating there including our kids (who are 1 and 4). George who runs the place is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet and gives the place a great welcoming vibe. The smoothie menu has dozens of options but our favorites are the Showtime and the Downtown Stroll. I also recommend whatever wrap they are currently offering with oyster mushrooms.”

“The best cider with an even better environment. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else! They have amazing staff and a fun and relaxing environment.”

“Just discovered this charming new restaurant, brought him sublime chick tamales with salsa verde. Cheerful and fast service, delicious flavors, happy food. Apparently they'll be open seven days a week for lunch AND dinner.”
