“It’s truly the best of the best”

“best local spot ever! the sandwiches I get have almost one and a hallf inches of just meat and cheese and its so good.

Parking: you can park alongside the place on church street, it's not common for there to be no parking there but if there isn't you can always park at the library across the street.

Kid-friendliness: they are the sweetest people, and if your kid wants candy, it's like 10 cents, so it is so great. they also have little toys for very cheap, like dinosaurs or ducks.

Wheelchair accessibility: it's level with the sidewalk”

“***** five stars Great Food and Great Service!!!!”

“We had a family celebration meal in the private dining room. 5 stars plus! Everything was amazing! Couldn’t have been be more pleased.”

“We first heard about Via Cassia while visiting Tuscany, and knowing we lived just an hour and an half away from a restaurant that we heard about from across the Atlantic, we had to come visit. We couldn’t have had a better experience! When the owners heard how we found them, they both made sure to come meet us. They were so kind and welcoming and took very good care of us! The food was absolutely incredible, and we got to enjoy the same wine we had while visiting Tuscany. Truly a 10/10 experience and we will absolutely be coming back.”

“Owner is awesome!!! Food is amazing- I am addicted to the Rice Porridge 🌾🍚🤍 (Should be called Heaven in a Cup)”

“You can’t go wrong—try everything and anything. We got a sunflower seed and olive loaf, kouign amann, plain croissant, and a baguette sandwich. Everything was delicious! I’ve never had a kouign amann so light—they’re usually a denser pastry. This was pleasant to eat and left space to eat a lot more ? I wish this bakery was closer to me, I’d be there every day. My husband likes to make bread and was blown away by the quality of the loaf and pastries!”

“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!”

“I am very impressed! . I often stop by to see if they have any slices and they always have something I like. They heat it up and very graciously thank me and it is consistently delicious! �”

“New smash burgers and fries are great! Friendly staff and nice environment”

“Friendly attentive staff and good reasonably priced food”

“My husband and I had our 90-guest wedding at the Vanderbilt on 6/8/24 and it could not have been any better. We found the Vanderbilt on Airbnb when looking for a unique wedding venue, visited it in January of 2023, and booked it instantly- didn’t even see another venue. As stated in previous reviews, Henrietta made the planning process as easy as possible. We communicated mainly via email, but she allowed us to come to the space as often as we needed (I think between both of our families we were there 3 times). She also provided a list of vendors that previous wedding parties had used at the Vanderbilt, which I used for our planner, tent company, shuttle company and photographer (all great). When it came time for the tasting, we were provided with an extensive menu of food and drinks curated by Matt. We were blown away by the food. As the wedding day approached, Henrietta was easy to communicate with and flexible. She helped us plan a thorough rainy day plan B, and was the bearer of good news when she called me 2 days prior to tell me the weather looked good and we were going with plan A. The weekend of the wedding was incredible. Our families stayed in the 8 rooms upstairs Friday and Saturday night. Henrietta and Matt were in early on Saturday to get everything prepared. Their team was incredible. After the ceremony, Henrietta greeted us with champagne and a congratulations. When cocktail hour ended and we realized we were so busy that we didn’t even eat our appetizers, Henrietta put together a plate for us and brought it over. I’ve heard from a number of guests that the food was the best they’ve had at a wedding, and I agree. It’s important to note that the staff was also FUN to have around. Bartenders and servers interacted with guests and kept the energy light and fun. The next morning, Matt prepared a great breakfast (much needed) for those staying at the Vanderbilt, even including some leftovers of our banana pudding dessert from the night before. Now let’s quickly talk about the space. The Vanderbilt Lakeside is the most unique space I’ve ever seen. Each room has its own personality and is decorated meticulously and beautifully. I only had to bring in decorations for the tables, as the venue itself was already perfect. The deck was a perfect fit for our 90-person dinner. The lawn, outdoor bar, and lawn games were a hit for those who wanted to chill out rather than dance. The Bar room was the perfect size for our musicians and a dance floor. The rooms upstairs are clean, all about the same size, and all have their own bathrooms to make for a comfortable stay. Overall, I cannot recommend the Vanderbilt enough. We’re racking our brains for an excuse to host another event there. Henrietta and Matt are incredible to work with!”

“LOVE the food! Wonderful people. Large menu. BEST California Fish Tacos! And Awesome burritos and quesadillas! Comfy indoor and outdoor seating! Right on Main Street in our favorite hometown of Chatham Village! Open early for breakfast and late for lunch. 5 stars!!!!”

“Had an awesome visit to this new brewery in Hudson. The beers I had were awesome. Just phenomenal! Will definitely be returning soon! Beautiful space also with an awesome patio!”

“Good experience. I highly recommend the butternut squash soup. Delicious, with almonds. Staff friendly. Open on Sunday.”

“Del’s is THE best quick stop for something fast, casual, economical, delicious & FUN! Their farm-fresh offerings are locally sourced & community-driven (you can literally SEE the farm from your table!). Their Bees Knees honey lavender milkshake with gin is my favorite summer after-work treat - non-alcoholic ice cream options also available for the younger family members, of course.”

“Upper Depot hosted an informal get together for graduates of Claverack Elementary School this past Friday. The food, drinks, and staff were all awesome. I wouldn't hesitate to hold an event at this facility in the future, or just have a beer or drink (and some food) after a long day. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

“Great Jamaican Food!!! This hidden gem in Hudson/Greenport is the place to go for authentic Jamaican dishes. The owners, Randy and Anne are delightful and really care about the quality of the food they serve. I've had every dish on their menu and each one has been delicious. Portions are generous with both lunch and dinner sizes at reasonable prices. My personal favorites are their traditional Jerk Chicken, Curry Goat, Curry Chicken and Oxtails. All served with rice and peas, plantains and veggies. In colder weather they offer a hearty soup with traditional Jamaican Spinner dumplings. Whenever they have a "special" dish I always give it a try and have not been disappointed. Just yesterday they offered a special Barbeque Chicken which was sweet and savory. I certainty hope this becomes a dish they offer regularly.They are open on Wednesdays and Fridays and are my go to place for take out Wednesday dinner. They serve out of a stationary food truck with plenty of onsite parking. Food is packed for take out and there are picnic tables with umbrellas if you'd like to eat there. They are located up on the hill overlooking Fairview Ave just a bit south of Bagel Thyme. Stop by, check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Parking: Lots of easy parking.”

“Burger to rave about. 👍👍👍”

“Lucky me, dropping in on a night when swordfish was on the specials. Honestly, the best I ever had.”

“Stopped in with the hubs and kids on Labor-day weekend. We didn’t realize it but it was almost closing time. They still took our order and allowed us to sit and eat. The Service was great! Everyone was smiling, happy and helpful. We got a 12 cut Sicilian pizza, and a small pepperoni calzone. The husband and kids really enjoyed the pizza, which was brought out steaming hot and smelled wonderful. I had the calzone. Hands down BEST calzone I’ve had in years. Not sure exactly how to explain how good it was but know that if I could move to be closer to Jo Jo’s calzone I would ?”

“Always handmade, small-batch from scratch; with attention to each step in the recipe & local producers at every opportunity 💛”

“We had a most extraordinary Sunday brunch at The Maker Cafe yesterday. We were there by chance, around 1 pm, and are so glad we found this lovely spot with a most attentive staff. We're not spring chickens, and we much appreciated the help getting seated, the delicious butternut squash soup, the fabulous eggplant alla parmgiana sandwich, the broccoli salad. Thanks to you all - we loved it, and we look forward to coming to the restaurant some evening soon.”

“Everything! The food was fantastic, atmosphere was cozy and the service was right on point. Very friendly service!”

“Only place where you can get authentic NYC type bagels. The atmosphere is congenial as are the owners. Great place!”

“Just discovered this charming new restaurant, brought him sublime chick tamales with salsa verde. Cheerful and fast service, delicious flavors, happy food. Apparently they'll be open seven days a week for lunch AND dinner.”

“I spent my birthday there and I had the NICEST TIME. The staff were amazing and they came out and sang. Made me feel so good! Thank you Savonas! 🥳❤️”
