“Thank you again for the great lunch you prepared for the Instructors and Advisors of the Cold Spring Fire Company's Junior Firefighter Academy yesterday on our trip to the FASNY museum. It was amazing and we look forward to ordering from you again next year!!“

“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!“

“what a great place. cool vibe, great gourmet lunch and the staff is incredible. lots of home made and local dishes including their own kimchi.“

“Hands down THE BEST FOOD, PLACE & PEOPLE. It was lovely chatting with them and learning so much about them & from them. I’ve never had such amazing fresh, natural food like that in years! The entire family & staff are the kindest and they are so happy with what they do and it really shows through their smiles and food. I will be coming back again very soon & can’t wait to tell everyone about this place !! Still drooling over that veggie burger ?“

“Food always consists of plentiful portions served relatively fast. Great for families with kids. Service is pleasant...and there are great views of the Kinderhook creek from the back section. Can be a little noisy at prime meal times when it's crowded- hard on hearing aids...or those with hearing issues. (Off times are much quieter)“

“food was great and prices very reasonable“

“Went for the first time today. Great atmosphere with friendly service!! Had coffee and cinnamon roll. Was very tasty. If you are a fan of motorcycles, coffee,good food, and bench racing check them out. We really enjoyed our time there and got to meet Ian and had a great chat with him. We will be back!!“

“I always enjoy my food when I order from here! Always a great experience with Maria and Nikki! Always so nice and accommodating, I served tables for 10 + years at a lot of high end restaurants and they are an awesome example of how service should be, However everytime I order something on Sunday evenings the blonde girl and the brunette girl that work there both have terrible attitudes like they both absolutely hate their jobs, I never see either one of them smile , or take any kind of personal approach to their customers at all, which in my opinion as a someone who worked as a server for so long might result in less tips or even a negative vibe between the server and their table… last night I ordered 2 orders of French fries and asked for some plastic silver wear , the brunette girl looked at me and said! “I guess but I don’t really see why” … maybe because I’m a regular paying customer .. but maybe that’s just me… and another time I placed an order with one of the girls , and asked for my total, and had me wait on the phone for over 5 mins for my total while she stopped and ran her food… something that takes 30 secs took 5 mins…in my personal opinion as a server those two ladies show a big lack of professionalism, I do not recommend Sunday nights when these two girls work! But I absolutely love this place when it’s any other day of the week“

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

“The NY strip is the best I've ever had in a restaurant. love the homey atmosphere too.“

“One of my favorite places to go out. Excellent food, menu & service. Updating March 2024; I miss the guitar player, Steve. The food, menu & service all still excellent, although this Saturday night when we were seated the dining room was full, everyone was finishing their meals and it was noisy. But within 15 20 minutes 2 tables left & it instantly quieted down and the cozy ambiance was back. Have to admit, sometimes we've been that noisy group! It's all good!“

“This Thanksgiving we decided to sit back, relax, and let some else do the cooking. After ordering from here, i don’t think I’ll ever cook again. The turkey is the best I’ve had. We have enough for leftovers for a week. Definitely recommend for anyone next year!“

“Great seafood choices and super waitstaff! If you like the whole "waterfront" atmosphere... and love seafood, all while dining in a casual atmosphere, then this is your place! (And there is live music frequently) Definitely try it if you're in the area!“

“Great food good beer I really like this place. Nice inside and even can go outside. If you are ever in the Ravena Selkirk area this is definitely a place you should give a try to! Lunch dinner and beers! What more could you ask for, am I right? Of course I'm right because I'm the man! Ha! Excellent. And now Yelp wants me to write a longer review, so I'll continue writing extra b.s. to lengthen my review a bit! Here we go!“

My partner loves the classic crispy chicken sandwich. The staff is always so friendly and working so hard! Bobs is usually pretty busy, but they keep up!

“Good food and drink with excellent service, for a fair price. Check it out!“

“OMG We live in CT and came to NYC for an appt and things. For fun, we went to the farmer's market in Union Square and bought some of your incredible, amazing, delicious, gluten-free brioche buns and we're amazed! We can't wait to get back to The City so we can load up! We'll totally place an order before we come with our empty back packs! I have celiac disease, so it's a huge deal to me and my guy to find such an awesome bun! We're not even huge bread eaters and we think these blow everything else away with or without gluten! They also keep well in the 'frig and toast up beautifully in the air fryer. We can't wait to try more of your GF options, too. Thank you so much!“

“Cold, rainy March night in Chatham, NY. We felt the need to get out for dessert. The People's Pub has the (gas) fireplace and the working kitchen welcoming us for carrot cake with rum cream. Neighbors are at the bar,". Glad we stepped out.“

“We love Paul's Pizza! It's our go to at the halfway point between home and the Lake.... The garlic knots are insanely good!Parking: Large parking lot, we've parked with an RV in tow.Kid-friendliness: My kids love their tenders.“

“As an industry professional for a Michelin guide restaurant, the bad reviews of Maker are a load of bull. This was a great experience from the moment we walked through the door and were kindly greeted and continuously met with professionalism and kindness from the staff. Great recommendations and they were able to accommodate a vegan diet by modifying a dish + the smoker king oyster mushroom dish is already plant based and was LIFE CHANGING.Atmosphere is so beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful evening.Please serve your beers in a chilled glass or maybe my Rothaus needed a few more minutes to chill in the fridge ;)“

“The best pizza I've ever had! (I'm old and have had pizza from MANY different places) I've enjoyed everything I've ordered, which has been most of the menu. They care :) The downside is that I'm within walking distance from them LOL!“

“Very good food. Alot to choose from. Specials every day.“

“Great place! Was shopping in Chatham, stopped in for a margarita (it’s Cinco de Mayo) met some really nice people!“

“Our adult children, from Brooklyn and upstate, and I, were excited to plan a surprise birthday luncheon for their Dad and my husband. The atmosphere was nice enough, and our server, Cat, was outstanding! The drinks were nice but they ran out of a beer we ordered by 1:30 pm on Saturday. Otherwise, aming a party of six, we had 4 beers, 2 Juice Bombs, 2 Health Margaritas, a glass of Chardonnay, and 3 other drinks...a total of 2 drinks per person. To start we ordered a plate of raw oysters and deep fried artichokes. Both choices were fine. We also ordered 3 Salad Nicoises which were a huge disappointment and should have been renamed, A Small Smattering 0f Tiny Greens With A Hint Of Dried Tuna, Whole Intact Garlic Clove, a 3 Discolored Green Beans Marinated in Vinegare with 2 Baby Potatos. If you were envisioning a classic Salad Nicoise, buyer beware. A 3 ounce portion of seared medium rare tuna or oil packed canned tuna, together with hard boiled eggs, Nicoise olives, and tomatoes with vinagrette were missing in action. The salad appeared to have been pepared with an eye to the least amount of preoaration“
