Restaurants near Old Chatham

“A perfect summer meal in a gorgeous garden - when we arrived we discovered their daily menu had few vegetarian options so we asked if the chef could make some simple grilled vegetable and instead he made 7 exquisite, world class veggie dishes - our server told us he took it as in inspiring challenge. while the beef and shellfish dishes enjoyed by half the table were perfectly executed (in facvt, the clam broth made we swoon in joy) the vegetarians were the winners (and graciously shared their summer bounty with the whole table)”

“I look forward to eating here every time I’m in the area! I love the food! The service is awesome! Every! Time! I especially appreciate the gracious and generous nature of the people who work here. And the owners are wonderful. They have an establishment that consistently provides an excellent meal and the perfect place to catch up with old friends.”

“One of the best salads I have ever eaten. Very extremely charming and lovely wait staff. Architecturally a little bit odd: many hard surfaces make this place louder than it needs to be. I will be returning.”

“Best of the best! Great food! Great people!!!”

“For the sake of full disclosure I’ve worked with the owners for over twenty years in the television industry. They have brought the same dedication and amazing attention to detail that has resulted in their tremendously successful careers, to their wonderful new restaurant. They have thought of EVERY detail from the whimsical videos playing in the rest rooms to the sugar cubes for your espresso... they have missed nothing. The menu is inventive and perfectly executed... Watermelon Gazpacho?! Whoa! The unique presentation of the Calamari appetizer was wonderful. Bouillabaisse?! You don’t find that as the seafood option very often... what a treat. Others in my group enjoyed perfectly cooked steaks and the slightly smoky Mac & Cheese. Of course the cheese plates are spectacular. This is one of those meals you won’t forget! But wait did I mention the speakeasy downstairs? The perfectly appointed room features an amazing menu of craft cocktails AND six draft beers to choose from... including Ommegang Rare Vos... you simply don’t find that on tap anywhere!! Finally a word about the service. It was impeccable, perfectly attentive without being stuffy. Chris and Ellen have created a destination restaurant!”

“DO NOT get the mochi donut… you will never stop thinking about it and you’ll eventually be shopping for bigger pants. Delicious food with veg options! The staff is awesome, coffee options are delicious but I wish there were more flavoring choices. Atmosphere is an aesthetic vibe but sadly, not very cozy. Nice to sit at the windows and watch the goings on in town though.”

“Stopped in for our 1st time and had the (4) Tacos special and I had the Roasted corn & avacado gazpacho. All were extremely delicious! Will definitely be back to try their paella.”

“I was just traveling through the area and had the good fortune to give this cafe a try for breakfast and I have to say it was perfect,every part of my meal was delicious. I have rarely been so satisfied with the freshness and preparation of a meal but these folks are putting in the care and work to do things right, my waffles were stellar definitely not made with pancake mix like so many mediocre restaurants do everything was well seasoned and nicely presented by an attentive staff.I garuantee you anytime I am any where near Chatham I will be dining here(I live in Maine but visit friends and relatives in the Albany area)!”

“Excellent service; great ambiance and delicious meals!”

“Austin has captured the old fashion diner car. Wonderfully restored. Fun to sit at the counter and watch the magic. Reasonably priced. Yummy Omletes! Give it a try; I don't think you'll be disappointed! 👍👍”

“Great experience and value here! The space is bright, open and clean. I got a taro milk tea with brown sugar boba and 2 2-protein make your own poke bowls. Yum! The food was fresh and lots of choices. I also like that avocado isn’t an extra cost, which it is at many other poke restaurants. I look forward to returning for some of their spicy ramen!”

“Great Beer choices!! very friendly atmosphere! Great food!!!”

“I have never had food I didn't love. The soups are amazing, all of them. It is a favorite for the locals but after going there just a couple of times they remember my preferences. Staff is great, friendly, efficient, top notch. The crowd is friendly and lively.”

“May 4 at S&S The beer was good as always. The music was very good and Flaco Tacos was excellent. Cold and windy, still a great evening. Beer line was a long wait. It’s better when beer is served at two locations.”

“Been to Lagonia's 6 times over the past month every meal has been great! The most recent we 6 people in our party had appetizers (Calamari), soup and salad with Lasagna, Eggplant parm, Veal Par, Pork chops Ala vodka with chicken. Everything was cooked to perfection french onion soup was out of this world. Everything arrived to the table in a timely manner looked great and tasted fantastic. Our waitress was very pleasant and freindly and gave great service, always there if needed but never rushed. I have ordered hamburger on previous visits and it was the best burger I've ever had, not to mention the home made french fries. Burger on the rare side crispy fries both times cooked as ordered. Can't believe that these burgers have not been voted the #1 burger in Chatham! I would HIGHLY recommend Lagonia's to all that wants a great meal.”

“The Greenhouse Cidery has a great selection of small batch ciders and other drinks. It is such a beautiful place to relax with family and friends! Love the welcoming and chill vibe!”

“Fish fry was delicious. My cousin had a cheeseburger and enjoyed it. Ice cream was also really good. Friendly staff.”

“I had an absolutely fantastic reasonably priced lunch today. Way more than I could eat., Burger was cooked perfect, toppings were fresh and delicious. The service was friendly, fast and efficient ! So glad we decided to look around before we ate.”

“Overall, my experience at Shadow 66, a charming French restaurant nestled in the picturesque town of Ghent, New York, just a short drive from Hudson, was exceptional. The moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the restaurant's elegant ambiance, adorned with historical artifacts and a beautifully restored 1966 Citroen DS. The attentive waitstaff was knowledgeable about the menu, although we were disappointed to learn about the specials only after ordering. The braised beef, which was cooked to perfection with a rich and savory sauce, was absolutely delicious. The combination of the delicious food, unique atmosphere, and impeccable service, aside from the oversight regarding specials, made Shadow 66 the ideal choice for my birthday celebration. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in the Hudson Valley.”

“We used harvest smokehouse for catering a party of 50 ppl. They knocked it out of the park. We knew their food was delicious already, and that did not change for their catering. Everything we got was beyond delicious. They helped us figure out how much of each item we needed and they nailed it. I can’t stress it enough, this food is DELICIOUS. Make Harvest Smokehouse your choice, wether it be for lunch, or catering an event.”
