I feel in love with the look of this spot immediately! Parking was tricky but we managed. The food was ok, do not think I will be going back. Maybe I tried the wrong dish. I did not enjoy the charcuterie board. The waitress described the meat as stuffed with pistachios but it was only a cold cut that looked like bologna. Was hoping for warm meat on a cold day. The charcuterie board came with bread, mustard, and pretzel sticks. It was definitely overpriced, the presentation was not impressive. For the price I expected something totally different.The meal was good but I do not need to eat again. Chicken and potatoes. The chicken was well seasoned and nicely cooked but again I wasn’t amazed by anything on the plate. I really wanted to absolutely love this spot but there was a lack of flavor in the dishes. For the price, I was definitely expecting something I wouldn’t be able to make in my own kitchen !

We visited off-season on a Monday so perhaps it was an off night. Atmosphere was lovely but the food was quite bad and we felt a bit rushed to leave our 6:45 seating. We were the last to leave, so maybe Mondays are just slow. The biggest issue with the food was the charcuterie board which looked like a smattering of grocery store ingredients including cold cut bologna and stale pretzel sticks. The rest of the food was fine, just not worth returning for. Prices aren’t bad relative to similar restaurants.

Exactly right! Ate delicious, interesting food in a beautiful space with excellent service. Don't be fooled by the ubiquitousness of flourless chocolate cake; it was done perfectly. Thank you, Clare and the Runa team!

I celebrated my 81st birthday at Runa. The food was tasty and satisfying. The service was friendly and caring for our every need. Ryan is a well-trained Chef for French specialties. We are kindred spirits. He came out and introduced himself to my group. Please ask him to contact me to further explore Indian cooking, my specialty. 845 255-3982 or email at [email protected].... We were especially impressed with the complementary Champagne!

This was a good meal, not great-- Good. The French onion hand pie was fine, kinda bland, nice fresh salad on the side. Nothing to run home about. The veggie shwarma was good, vaguely Middle Eastern. I was starving and the food was fresh, so I scarfed it. I liked the hummus. And lastly, the tahini brownie was tasty, but had no tahini flavor. Generally, The menu seems confused, the service is kind but slow and the food is okay. I was between a 3 and a 4 star review.

Sat outside and listened to live music. Romantic setting. Had salmon and pickled veggies and wine. Healthy meal, not too oily or too much sauce. Nice servers. Would go back.

Just in case anyone else doesn’t want to drive all the way out here because Google is recklessly not updatedresponding to below: Am sure you do deserve a vacation, irrelevant to updating your Google Business page though. I didn't need to drive 40 minutes to find that out. And in 2023, your website isn't the go-to place for your hours.
