“Found this spot on Google while I was upstate and thought it was worth the 20 mins drive. It was!!! The pastries are delicious, service was great and tons of options to choose from. I loved it so much I even bought a t-shirt and 2 dog baguette toys for my pups. If you’re in the Hudson Valley area, and hungry (… and rich! lol), def make a stop here”

“Great place and food is great”

“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.”

“For the sake of full disclosure I’ve worked with the owners for over twenty years in the television industry. They have brought the same dedication and amazing attention to detail that has resulted in their tremendously successful careers, to their wonderful new restaurant. They have thought of EVERY detail from the whimsical videos playing in the rest rooms to the sugar cubes for your espresso... they have missed nothing. The menu is inventive and perfectly executed... Watermelon Gazpacho?! Whoa! The unique presentation of the Calamari appetizer was wonderful. Bouillabaisse?! You don’t find that as the seafood option very often... what a treat. Others in my group enjoyed perfectly cooked steaks and the slightly smoky Mac & Cheese. Of course the cheese plates are spectacular. This is one of those meals you won’t forget! But wait did I mention the speakeasy downstairs? The perfectly appointed room features an amazing menu of craft cocktails AND six draft beers to choose from... including Ommegang Rare Vos... you simply don’t find that on tap anywhere!! Finally a word about the service. It was impeccable, perfectly attentive without being stuffy. Chris and Ellen have created a destination restaurant!”

“It’s truly the best of the best”

“Amazing pours with at least one selection served on cask via hand pump that will appeal both to the classic styles fan and those looking for something different. The tap room has the feel of a well designed backyard pub with focus on good conversations with friends.”

“My 2nd or 3rd trip. This time it was Sunday Brunch and as in everything here, it was delicious and while the owners are French, the food is just damn good, understandable and well prepared.”

“We had a hard time finding the place at first. but we're glad we did. :) Good beer, good vibe and the food was delicious. We had a smashburger and fries, the deviled eggs, and the hand cut chicken bites which I loved and were served with the tastiest ranch sauce I've ever had. Will definitely come back again next time we're in the area.”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“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.

“Tommy whipped up delicious Old Fashions, kept us entertained, and was quick with service and assistance. He’s a 10/10 bartender- knowledgeable, talented, and fun! Awesome drinks, vibes, and service.”

“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!”

“Delicious dinner with vegan and gf options, helpful staff, & a beautiful ambience made this a wonderful place for date night.”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Great, food great service friendly people food is tasty one of the best one in Columbia County”

“We had a most extraordinary Sunday brunch at The Maker Cafe yesterday. We were there by chance, around 1 pm, and are so glad we found this lovely spot with a most attentive staff. We're not spring chickens, and we much appreciated the help getting seated, the delicious butternut squash soup, the fabulous eggplant alla parmgiana sandwich, the broccoli salad. Thanks to you all - we loved it, and we look forward to coming to the restaurant some evening soon.”

“We ordered a BLT and Reuben, and both were delicious. Great stop! Highly recommend. We also had such a lovely time chatting with the owners about their vinyl collection.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
