Restaurants near Athens

“Best staff! Always accommodating and the food is consistently delicious. I’m so happy they set up shop in our town!”

“Such an awesome spot for a hang with friends. Plenty of room for a gathering and also chill night with the partner. The beers are top notch with excellent cocktails. The pizza is what this area of the Catskills has been waiting for. Get a fresh pie or a slice to stay/go, you will not be disappointed. 🍻”

“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”

“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?”

“We first heard about Via Cassia while visiting Tuscany, and knowing we lived just an hour and an half away from a restaurant that we heard about from across the Atlantic, we had to come visit. We couldn’t have had a better experience! When the owners heard how we found them, they both made sure to come meet us. They were so kind and welcoming and took very good care of us! The food was absolutely incredible, and we got to enjoy the same wine we had while visiting Tuscany. Truly a 10/10 experience and we will absolutely be coming back.”

“Today a Was the first time we had ordered from you we were very happy with the person that took the order we had quite a large amount and order andoorder and the food was great and it only took 20 minutes thank you for your time and great food we will be back again we only live around the corner”

“You can’t go wrong—try everything and anything. We got a sunflower seed and olive loaf, kouign amann, plain croissant, and a baguette sandwich. Everything was delicious! I’ve never had a kouign amann so light—they’re usually a denser pastry. This was pleasant to eat and left space to eat a lot more ? I wish this bakery was closer to me, I’d be there every day. My husband likes to make bread and was blown away by the quality of the loaf and pastries!”

“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!”

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

“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 popped in for coffee and a very good cup of Assam tea.

The vegetarian menu looks good and was highly recommended by our friends who live locally.”

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

“Great food, and the service was good. But please…slow it down a bit! We asked for 3 courses, and they brought out the first two together, and the entrees a bit after. We were in and out of there in 1 hour, which is way too fast for a Saturday night out.”

“Placed a quick takeout order and the pulled pork sandwich was unbelievable!”

“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 !!”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Love sourdough bread fresh and so good”

“Great atmosphere & amazing food”

“Love to go here with my wife and mother! Love the ladies there. Everyone is always so nice and cheerful. The breakfast menu is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”

“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.”

“friendy people, excellent bake goods”

“J&J catered my wedding in September 2024. Food was delicious!! Staff is extremely friendly and helpful!”

“Good experience. I highly recommend the butternut squash soup. Delicious, with almonds. Staff friendly. Open on Sunday.”

“Finally had a çhance to give Angel's a try. Had the baked chicken, rice and beans. OUTSTANDING! Ill be back.”

“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.”
