Service was poor. Waited at the door for someone to realize we were waiting. The host who seated us made us our drinks but the hostess who was serving us wondered around us finishing up other orders for 20 minutes without even mentioning she was our server I was wondering if anyone was going to serve us. Food came relatively fast but wrong. My husband wanted his fries separately so he could give them to me cuz gluten free and they dont do gluten free there. He got his burger over eggs which was fine, and as to order. Mine was a totally different sandwich than ordered. I ordered the crab cakes with no tomatoes. They gave me some kind of shrimp sandwich. By the time they fixed the mix up my husband had finished eating. Only reason its getting 2 stars for atmosphere is cuz I like the one lantern looking light. Otherwise terrible first time eating there. I will not be back and telling anyone who will listen not to go there.

I know things have to change...but seeing how the place was virtually stripped of all its character from the days of Steve's ownership just broke my old New Paltzian townie heart. I was glad to see old favorites on the menu and maybe some new ones...it wasn't really the same though. I was sad not to see the wooden booths where one *thought* private conversations could be had and the old wooden bar that had so many great moments of community shared. And the local art work too...gone. Not sure if I will return...I'll have to hold onto my memories, though perhaps I will convince my home grrrllzz to go and make new ones with me when I come to town. I am grateful that the name hasn't changed-it was hard enough when it changed from The Gay Nineties Bistro to just *The Bistro*. I am also glad there are menu items on there I know and love. I wish the owners good luck and longevity. It's really an institution and I'd hate to see it fall to ruin like so many of my cherished places of the past.

The spinach in my eggs Benedict was seasoned perfectly! I look forward to trying more of their menu.

Since the change of ownership, Bistro has been going down hill. From the complete change on the inside decor and layout, to the change in the food quality and menu. It was unfortunate to hear that long term employees were not even made aware of the change to the inside of Bistro. I ordered a Red Light Green Light, which has been my order since I started coming here years ago. It was so disappointing to have it come out with barely any hollandaise sauce— to the change of sun dried tomatoes to regular ones which I took out due to them being soggy and not tasteful. The way the layout is now, the servers have to squeeze their way through the tables. I’m utterly saddened by the new owners attempts to change what Bistro was to so many, and now to something completely different.

The host was unfriendly and cold. He wouldn’t let us move from the counter to a table after no one else was waiting. It took over a half hour to get our food. The waiter in contrast was friendly and accommodating though we never got to sit at a table despite several requests to the host. We went there a couple years ago and liked it which is why returned. Next time in New Paltz we will eat somewhere else.

I have been coming here for about a decade, past couple years after moving to town, Ive been going weekly. Everyone is so warm, welcoming, and really strive to make your visit a great one. To that I say thank you to everyone there, because I always have a great tasty filling meal and a great conversation with the staff.

My boyfriend and I got recommended this place for breakfast and went to check it out! The place was super busy (we went on a Saturday morning), and the food took a while to come out, but overall we enjoyed the food and thought the place was super nice!
