Stopped on for a burger... Ate outside. Food was good, service great.... Wanted to sit on the river's edge but not available!
Great place. The food was awesome. Service took a little while, but I'm there to relax and enjoy, so there was no rush. The manager was friendly and outgoing. We had a burger with fries, a side of sweet plantains, Korean BBQ wings, and the spring cacio de Pepe. All was tasty and cooked perfectly. Would good again
My fiance and I go here all the time. Great atmosphere and even better food. We reccomend this place to a lot of people. We like to say it's fine dining in a casual dining setting.
The Employees care about their job and and about where they work! And that's makes all the difference , When the bat tender cares about your drink and the cook cares about your food it makes a world of difference... The bar tender did his job to a tee and the kitchen is well versed in their craft....
Went for dinner and was pleasantly surprised with the renovation. We were looking forward to trying the food. Except we sat for 45 minutes and didn't even get the appetizer we ordered. And if I'm paying $30 and up for an entree, perhaps some bread or maybe a saltine cracker would be in order while we were waiting. Nope. Nada. Paid for our drinks and left. Really disappointing.
I can't speak to the restaurant, but the hotel, which was advertised as a trendy boutique hotel, is not even a hotel, it is a motel. It was dirty, the bath was still wet from the last guest, there were bugs, stagnant water in the coffee pot, the post card hadn't even been switched out for a new one after the previous guest had written on it. The door didn't fully close. In order to get to the rooms you have to walk down a skinny, winding staircase, which is not accessible for large bags much less someone who has any sort of walking disability. Probably worst of all though, the key to the door was a code which doesn't sound like it changes night to night. This was the nail in the coffin for us and we left to find a different hotel where we felt safe. No refund due to their policies, though we didn't even feel safe asking for one. Do not stay here.
restaurant is good
The real problem of this stay was after - specifically the STAFF.
After we left my GF realized she left an airpod behind in the room. We called and spoke to staff and offered to pay shipping to have them send it back to us. They found the airpod in the room and said they would be happy to mail it back, no need for us to pay. Yay! Easy win for them and I couldn't wait to write a good review.
But no...sadly thus began a 2 month saga of calling and asking everyone including the owner what the status of the airpod return was. We got stories of sick employees, employees who quit, snarky bartenders who couldn't care less, and an owner who would "get to the bottom of it" then ghost us and never return a call. The airpods were never sent and never received.
And after my 10th, no...20th call to the hotel, completely exasperated, I let an employee know this was my last attempt and without any contact back that my only recourse was to blanket social media about the incompetence happening there.
And we still never heard from them again!
Please note I hate giving bad reviews - but this is deserved. I really really tried to get any courtesey I could. I know in the end it didn't matter to them - clearly, but it did to us. They're expensive. I'd rather they just lied form the get go - than go through this journey. They had every opportunity to get a win from us and be our heroes and get a shouting at the rooftops good review.
So, if you want to have this kind of "assurance" in your next stay, maybe they'll have your reservation, maybe not...maybe they'll have your food order - who knows?? Whatever happens - know that it's probably not as assured as you think. I can't imagine a place that cares as little for parted guests, can care that much more for guests that are arriving.
SUGGESTION - go up the street to the STICKETT INN instead. They have a little coffee shop (good coffee) and a taqueria (great breakfast burrito!) and lots of inappropriate puns (they have their own CIDER). Wish we had done so.
AND if we are ever back that way we will avoid the River's Edge in Barryville.
Room notes:
The room was fine. The light on the refrigerator glowed like the sun and was awful. Had to put a coat over it to block it out.

Great food!
Took a long time for food! We only saw our waitress once when she took our order. The bartender attended to us after she disappeared. The chicken sandwich was ok needed seasoning.
