Great service, delicious food and nice ambiance. Everyone loves their dishes, the soup w shrimp and scallops was excellent and the chicken meatballs were delicious and the portion was huge for an appetizer. The ahi tuna burger was perfection, the salmon and meatloaf were both excellent and huge portions. Our waitress was super friendly and professional with solid knowledge of the menu as well as the signature cocktails which they have a bunch. Prices seemed very reasonable and it was a perfect dinner. Sadly we were too full to try any of the desserts, maybe next time!!

Having lunch at this place. I am used to NYC restaurants waiting time for a table but here something impossible is happening. We have been kept waiting for 30 minutes while 6 tables are open. We ended up sitting at the bar. BTW they just brought to me a coffe that I didn't order! Don't come here!

Highly recommend everyone go for the bakery items - blueberry muffins and apple turnovers to start the day off never hurt.

Each time I walk into McKinney and Doyle's restaurant I immediately get a sense of well-being and hometown warmth. But don't let that fool you. The drinks and the menu are nothing but top notch. Andrew is fantastic. He never mind getting his hands dirty and facilitating a very busy night but manages to give a big smile and greeting and a big goodbye when we leave. Such a unique menu offers choices for every pallet and each one surpasses the other. My only wish is that I could go there every night!They also have wonderful and creative brunches and lunches during the weekend. Again, just wonderful!

This Bakery is second to none with hardy breads and rolls, and a nice variety of decadent treats. The restaurant offers rustic and casual, dining with delicious entrees at affordable prices. Enjoy a beautiful country road trip to Pawling & while you're there, you might just take home some of their home made soups or prepared foods.

Updated review.Something has changed. This was my favorite restaurant. Over the past year we have been disappointed every visit. The food is just not the same.

Great food and friendly staff in a very nice and upscale atmosphere. Would be nice to have had an "adults only" section for early Sat evening dining, though. Tough to have a conversation over dinner when there are disengaged parents with young, clearly overtired children whining and screaming at the next table. The prices warrant a bit more consideration of those seeking an adult dinner experience.

Had a lovely brunch, but the chicken and waffles had a really, really dry piece of chicken that could not be saved no matter how much syrup I dumped on it. Banana Fosters was also some Carmel drizzle and a few bananas with fresh berries. Waffle and berries was great at $19.95, chicken and description of dish fell way short. Cappuccino was lovely served with chocolate bits and chocolate covered coffee beans, but server didn't know how to make peaks so it was more like a flat white. Used chocolate pieces to jazz up my waffle and it was yummy. My friends omelets were delicious . Next time I'll stick with one of those. My friends said never to order waffles and chicken this far North and boy were they right. First time I ever had a Gripe in the 15 years I've been going there , but all in all still had a great time and can't wait to go again. O wait, when they stopped making the Princess cake a dome I complained too. 2nd gripe.
Amazing service and the food is Devine great place to go if your stopping by Pawling NY

I've been coming to this restaurant for years and I keep getting slammed with there horrible corn bread. They have real corn kernels the same time you feed to goats. It makes the bread unappetizing and it also got us sick. Don't try their corn bread.

I can't begin to say how much I want to love this place, especially I've dined here for brunch a few years ago and it was great. However, this time for dinner, the food was a letdown. Love the decor and the ambience of the restaurant. My friends and I had a 8 pm dinner reservation and was seated promptly. We knew this place was famous for its mixed drinks so we hit up their cocktails and they did not disappoint! I tried the spicy mango, pumpkin Martini, and the Bees Knees. All were excellent. But our food was just so-so. The app we shared was the fried calamari, it was good, but wasn't amazing. My dinner entree was the seared duck breasts on the menu. It came with wild rice in various greens. The duck was cooked perfectly, but the rice and the vegetables under the duck was a disaster. They must've left the rice shell/hulls on the rice, because I was chewing something hard in every bite. It almost felt like I got the bottom of the pot and was eating burnt veggies. I think my friends enjoyed their dishes, but unfortunately mine was very disappointing. Overall still a pleasant experience, service was great, the drinks were yummy. I will definitely give this place another try.
