New American Restaurants near New Paltz, NY

“Visited Garvan’s today for the first time for a late lunch in the Pub. We started with Mexican Street Carrots. So delicious! My husband had the traditional Irish breakfast and I had the lamb stew. Both meals were excellent. Wish we could have had dessert, but we were so stuffed. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. We’re looking forward to visiting again.“

“I love the chopped salads and friendly helpful employees! Everyone is always so happy at the counter and sometimes it just really makes my day. Definitely get a take out cocktail for later - you won't regret it.“

“Best turkey sandwich I've ever had! It was freshly roasted by them and it showed. The homemade German potato salad was incredible as well. Their hospitality and customer service was top notch. I can't wait to try the roast beef next time I'm in the area.“

“😀great atmosphere, piano bar, great service and delicious food!“

“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 MUSIC! THE FOOD! THE VIBES!😍🥰“

“Wine Tasting at the Stone House in Accord Thursday was great food, great wine, & a really great time!!“

“Just celebrated another family birthday at Brix! It was a wonderful evening with great food and service. Thanks again to Teddy for his guidance in helping me plan this party . The feedback from our quests was excellent!“

“Amazing atmosphere! Madi makes fabulous wines and Cody’s beers are great! To top it all off the food is fantastic! If you haven’t been here yet…what are you waiting for?!“

“My wife and I ate there for the first time. Food was very good and plentiful. Service could have been a smidgen better. Waitress was nice and polite but should have checked at least once for drink refills. I tried to make reservations for my car club to come there on a given Sunday and time in May, about 10 of us, but was told they don't do that. I guess it's first come, first serve for seating. We want to eat together and would arrive about 1:30PM. I thought we could secure the back room, but no was the answer. It's ok. I understand. No hard feelings. If we were in that area again, we would eat there. We'll just look for another place in Rosendale. Best wishes to that facility.“

“Our family loved our experience at Wildflower Farms in Gardiner, NY. What a beautiful experience and location to spend time with family and loved ones. The staff there make the experience great by being super friendly, patient and accommodating. Thank you Mallori for being so helpful when we considered needing another room for more space w. our three kids!! She went above and beyond! The food is delightful, you can tell it is quality and well thought out. Everything about this place is done with care. Thank you! ♥️Taylor“

“Wonderful atmosphere , service was excellent and food was delicious and generous portions“

“Stonehedge has always been a favorite restaurant for our family. Unfortunately due to life circumstances we hadn’t been there for a couple of years. My husband and I decided to end the drought and went to celebrate our anniversary and we are so glad we did. Everything was even better than we remembered it. It started with the delicious and wonderfully fresh dinner rolls that we’ve always loved. The French onion soup was the best I’ve had in ages (I’m a French onion soup snob😂) and the baked stuffed clams were just as my husband remembered them. The dinner salad with the house dressing was cold and fresh, and we highly recommend the double cut pork chop and the jumbo shrimp francaise as dinner entrees. We both left full and more than satisfied - they never disappoint! Thank you to the folks at Stonehedge for the great meal and good service. It felt like we were coming home! We promise you’ll see us again soon.“

“So many community members, businesses, friends & family, came together to support the Gribbon family in their recent renovation at the new location. The new High Falls Cafe is beautiful! It has the same welcoming atmosphere as its previous location, but this is so much better! Food and service are great, and they have been very busy since opening a few weeks ago. If you want to ensure that you can get a table, make a reservation in advance!“

“We go for the awesome happy hour. Food is delicious and bartender Brian is the best.“

“Stopped in with my girlfriend last evening, we didn’t have time for a full meal but sat at the bar for appetizers and drinks. The apps were excellent as was the espressomartini’s expertly prepared by Shannon, the bartender who went out of her way(altho she was very busy with a full bar) to make sure everything was ok for us. We’ll definitely be coming back frequently!“

“Great good and friendly staff“

“My girlfriend and I dined at Butterfield during our stay in the Hudson Valley from October 17th to 19th, and it was truly one of the highlights of our weekend. A huge part of that experience was thanks to Peter, whose service was nothing short of exceptional — professional, attentive, and genuinely warm.

Peter went above and beyond to make our evening memorable, offering great conversation and fantastic local recommendations for vineyards to visit and even a whiskey distillery, Tuthilltown, which ended up being one of the standouts of our trip.

The food was excellent as well. My girlfriend ordered the roasted chicken, and she said it was the best she’s had in quite some time — and she’s a publicist in NYC who frequents fine dining establishments, so that’s high praise.

Peter’s combination of hospitality, local insight, and sincerity elevated our dinner from simply enjoyable to truly unforgettable. Butterfield and Hasbrouck House are lucky to have him. We’ll definitely return on our next Hudson Valley visit.
