Absolutely delicious cottage pie and garden salad. Top notch. Way to go, guys!

This is a true gem in the Hudson Valley. Not to be missed! Everything is decisions, and fresh and clearly prepared with food and love. The staff are delightful and thoughtful. The clientele are all people you’d want to hang out with!

Funny, the first thing I thought of before writing this was how nervous I was about getting back to our hotel in Athens b/c I had NO service/no GPS in this woodsy enclave. But it all turned out OK once we started driving away from one of the best nights we'd had in a long time. First of all: take the "no reservations" policy seriously. Get there early if it's suitable for you. It also means that once you grab a table, it's not yours for the night. Fair enough and true to hospitable form the staff will find a spot for you & take care of you (we ended up sharing a table with a super nice local couple, and we had so much to talk about before & after the music). We went there to see Don Byron (!!!) with an exceptional band. 5 feet in front of me and no phones, just people listening & absorbing, not phone filming. A nice change from the stadium concerts of the summer. Burger was excellent; yes, the waiter was correct in suggesting the double. Fries could have been more crunchy but that's a minor quibble. Good drinks & beer selection. Super charming spot, wonder what it's like in the Lodge? may have to come back to find out.

Have already reviewed The Pines in the past, but just wanted to check-in because this is our all time favorite place for dinner in the Boiceville area. Basically ordered the same things again. I got a NY strip, tomato soup, ceaser salad, and french fries.

Cool indoor/outdoor restaurant with plenty of space for kids to run around outside. No kids menu, but the fries are excellent. I enjoyed my meal and definitely will return next time I am upstate.

For the resto : wonderfully unpretentious and extremely well executed comfort food with a distinctly creative flair. The cukes and carrots were delish and the steak was cooked perfectly. The star of the meal was for sure the burger which is a top notch smash. Excited to return someday!
Food was fine? But I got flipped off by one of the servers. I am not sure if there was something else going on, but I asked for a glass for my beer and had it slammed on the table, then got flipped off when the server walked around the corner. Really thought it was out of the blue.

Delicious food, great vibe, and sneaky good cocktails/bar. The staff was also very attentive and friendly. Will come back for sure.

Cute homey place with a cozy vibe. A few different indoor spaces to eat in and a back yard with picnic tables. Full barroom. I ordered the chicken tostadas which I feel were pricey at $27 for two tostadas and no sides. That being said they were delicious and generously topped with refried beans tasty chicken and escabeche. They were filling but I guess I'm just not ready to accept $27 chicken entrees as a new normal. My wife had the cheeseburger which was also delicious with fresh homemade fries. We started with the shishito peppers which were spicy and salty. Good with a Brookie from West Kill or a margarita. I recommend this place but just know it's gonna cost ya.

I recently was staying in an Airbnb within walking distance of The Pines. I had never been to the Catskills area before and figured it would be nice to sit outside with my boyfriend and our dog. As advertised on the website, it clearly states " Please note that dogs on leashes are VERY welcome to our outdoor space! ". Granted, it had rained during the day but my boyfriend and I were willing to sit outside anyways because we didn't want to leave our dog alone, but when my Bf went in and asked if we could sit outside, the gentleman inside said the outside patio is wet and they can not serve outside. My boyfriend then explained that our puppy (5months old) is also a service dog and we can sit inside as well, he stated "we prefer to not have the dog inside" . Let me remind you, the law states if you have a service dog, you can't deny us of that request, instead of denying us he just didn't prefer we dine with them. I was completely disgusted when my BF came out and told me what happened. If your website states that dogs are VERY welcome then you should stand by that. Instead of accommodating us and having a paying customer stay for business, he turned us down and we went somewhere else to have dinner. And to be honest, the place down the road had AMAZING food.
