always a fab time! I love that the menu rotates, I’ve come for a few special occasions in New Paltz and it’s always a pleasure.

Def important to know it’s not about speed here butrather enjoying company in a gorgeous little setting with friendly staff, your friends and some of the best french-style plates you’ve ever had!

Slow service. Salmon was undercooked. Steak was overcooked. Unimaginative menu. Same price point as Garvan’s but MUCH worse.

The place looks beautiful, but unfortunately we got here at 7:30 , online says closes at 8:30 and they couldn’t serve us. Should have that on webpage .. so if you plan to go here call ahead ..

Stumbled on this lovely bistro and were delighted by the food, service, and inviting, beautifully lit outdoor setting. We ordered the rigatoni ragout, warm chèvre salad, carrot curry soup, and escargots. Tahini brownie for dessert. Everything was beautifully prepared, fresh and delicious. The young wait staff was super thoughtful and attentive, making some special items for our toddler and supplying her with a collection of colored pencils and a drawing pad. The restaurant itself is enchanting and serene, with large outdoor area and cozy indoor dining. Would highly recommend for a date night, convivial dinner with friends…or even a family night out.

Kid-friendliness: Very welcoming to our slightly rambunctious toddler and accommodated our special requests.

I shared the grilled beef appetizer and the shrimp in lemon butter appetizer. The beef was not grilled on all sides and was quite raw though what was grilled tasted great. The shrimp was boring and did not have the satisfying flavor of fresh shrimp I would have expected. I also had the Moroccan chicken. The chicken tasted like it was not marinaded and had little of any Moroccan character. The flavor of the chicken and cooking of the chicken was not impressive at all. I liked the Cole slaw with chickpeas under the chicken. My wife had the eggplant tart and the grilled Bronzino. She liked both. Not sure I would go back, but my wife would want to.

Food is very good and spot on. Had nice cocktails by the fire pit and had a beautiful outdoor seating. The service here was great and couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely come back with friends and family definitely recommend eating here.

Absolutely delicious food and all of the staff were wonderful. The French onion handpie was one of those special food items you come across only once in a while.

We dined at Runa on a Friday night while visiting our daughter. We chose this place last minute without knowing what to expect, and it turned out to be fantastic. The staff was friendly and personable, the atmosphere was relaxing, the food was top-notch, and the cocktails were excellent. Runa is truly a hidden gem and will be our go-to dinner spot whenever we're in town. The entire experience was wonderful, and we are now big fans. Highly recommend!

Our server was really sweet and the outside was beautiful, but it was an incredibly disappointing experience to celebrate my 1-year wedding anniversary here. The place was nearly empty and yet the menu items I wanted were “out of stock”. The food was disappoint, the tea was cold, and the drinks were sub par.
