“Excellent food at a reasonable price.. Nothing better than sitting outside at the marina..“

“Went on 4/6/26. I enjoyed the Big Breakfast meal, with Chocolate Chip Pancakes (last time I had Chocolate Chip Pancakes at all prior to 3/31/26 was likely when I was still living in Connelly, NY back from 2004 to 2007), Bacon, Sausage, and Home Fries. I will definitely be coming here again to try out other things in the near future.“

“Excellent food and great service. Very accommodating and friendly. Relaxing atmosphere. We would give 100 stars if possible! Highly recommend.“

“Most everything was amazing and delicious..The caviar frites, unfortunately, were so oversalted, they were inedible..(.I say that as someone who always asks for salt at places that don't have it on the tables) The cocktails were wonderful, as were the rabbit and schnitzel, ( what kind of witchcraft is that gf breading!?wonderfully crisp)oysters fresh. Service was ok, but I think the servers should dress more professionally..nothing crazy, maybe white shirt, black pants, long hair tied back. Will return. Food was that good.oh..next time we will look at bill more closely..ostensibly tip is included..A friend in the industry said it was illegal..server mustve been happy to get 40%...“

“Amazing staff,great food. Can’t wait to go back“

“I have been meaning to go to this place for like a year now I would drive past all the time but today was the day lol I took my son out for dinner and i finally said let’s go try out this restaurant I’ve been meaning to go to. I can’t stress enough how amazing the food and staff are! Big thank you to Angel everything I ordered was a recommendation from her from the food I ordered to the cocktail thank you🙏🫶🏽 My New Favorite place 🤩“

“Unbelievable food. Best service in the world!“

“Located in the Stockade part of historic Kingston, this cheery restaurant has a great ambiance, with 2 large dining rooms and a full bar. On a cold and snowy winter Sunday, our group of 4 enjoyed cocktails and some snacks while touring the area.

The cocktails were awesome - we had 3 specialty margaritas (black and gold) and a Fig and Honey Martini, which was very sweet.

The appetizers were a hit or miss: wings were ok, the flatbread with prosciutto and fig wasn't to our liking but the thai shrimp were good, but I was surprised the dish only had 2 skewers of shrimp.

Overall a nice lunch. Very friendly service. On a Sunday, there weren't much choices for a meal in the area midday.“

“I have had the pleasure of tasting the dill potato salad twice. I can say it is far surpassed my expectations and I look forward to having it again.“

“This cafe is a gem. Not only does the cafe have great food but I especially love the carefully curated specialty items, grab and go meals and family style takeaways for those busy days and catering options to making hosting a breeze. Quality and convenience.“

“Amazing sandwiches, soup and wraps and awesome customer service! 10/10 would recommend!😊“

“Great food,great drinks and the staff is amazing“

“White Bean with Kale Soup. Now an all time favorite!“

“My husband and I took a little day trip from Albany today with no real destination in mind, besides checking out Samuels Sweet Shop. As we drove through town, your restaurant caught our eye! After asking the sweet clerk at Sam’s how your food was, we decided to have lunch on her suggestion. And we are so glad we did! The interior of the restaurant is very nice and it was so warm and cozy as we entered. Your staff were wonderful. We each had a drink… I had a Bellini and he chose a beer. Our server was nice enough to look up the brewery his beer was from for us too (nice added touch that he didn’t have to do) We started our meal with calamari. The breading was so delicious and not heavy and the pineapple dipping sauce was a tasty surprise. I ordered the hot chicken sandwich and he opted for steak. My chicken was the perfect blend of hot and sweet and so good. My husband’s steak was perfectly and we both enjoyed the horseradish sauce it was served with. Both served with your homemade shoestring fries. Both, so good! We had a lovely time sitting and conversing. Your waitstaff checking in just enough to make sure we were taken care of and not pushy to get us out. Overall we loved it! We can’t wait to come back in warm weather and try your outdoor seating. I wish I had gotten our servers name, as he deserves the kudos for being so pleasant!“

“Nice, clean and very cozy ☺️“

“Wonderful lunch on the outdoor patio at Foster’s coach house. Hosts were welcoming and provided great service accommodating our large party - friendly and helpful - setting a stage for a relaxed and fun late afternoon birthday meal. Everyone in our group of 18 enjoyed Fosters - cold drinks, good service, and excellent food - from the Thanksgiving sandwich, French dip, to the cranberry walnut salad! The team at Fosters also sourced a delicious carrot cake 🎂!“

“Top shelf!!! We had a group of 17 for lunch. Everyone raved about the excellent food and the wonderful and friendly service. Our menu included London Broil, Salmon, Ceasars Salad with Chicken and Vegetable Quiche with side salad. We had a variety of servings. Everything was sooooo good! Best restaurant in Kingston. We couldn't have chosen a better place.“

“We stopped in today for an early dinner and are so happy we did! We started with the bone-in chicken wings — Crack BBQ & Cajun Honey — and let me tell you, that Crack Sauce is AMAZING 👏. I had the Biggie chicken sandwich, and the chicken was seasoned to perfection. Rosanna was such a pleasure to chat with during our meal — super friendly and full of great insights about the area. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Brunch has many options! amazing customer service and Yummy 😋 food and drink!“

“We all arrived hungry to a shockingly full parking lot. As an ex-industry person I can say we got our table touched 20 times here which was nice, but actually as a diner maybe a bit too much especially if the table touches didn't result in the proper service. It was a dark and stormy spring Saturday night, we arrived at 630, a half hour early for our reservation but were seated promptly. It took zero minutes for who appeared to be the bartender to ask us for our drink orders, while she remembered the wine and bourbon orders she forgot my hot tea even after we had a whole conversation about it. When our actual waitress arrived I had to reorder the tea and the timing on the warm up had about already passed. That being said I often order hot tea before dinner and it was pretty awesome that the hot water came in a separate metal mini kettle along with the tiniest tea cup in North America. It reminded me of Europe actually the tea cup was sooo small, maybe 4oz but the kettle had another 24oz of super hot water for me which kept me very happy throughout the meal.

I didn't get my honey with it though even though I ordered it twice with two people now. I was about to have to ask for the honey when the bartender ran it over before I could but then... no spoon. Not a spoon anywhere on the table actually, I gave up and used my fork for the night in the tea. When we were approached and my 80+yr old mother began to order our mains the waitress cut her off and left mid order bc she said the kitchen was calling her. Huge no-no as far as Im concerned, this alone looses them one star forget about the tea.

When she came back we were all happy to learn we all got salads and sides with our entrees, I ordered the schnitzel which was our entire impetus for the visit as I consider myself somewhat of a schnitzel connoisseur. My gf tried to sub mushrooms for her side but when it arrived the waitress had added it as an add'l side and gave her zucchini even though she didn't order it and I witnessed them having a conversation about it.

Our salads all came drowning in dressing with one rock hard tomato, at first I thought it was a full reddish, I love dressing but this was a lot even for me; the dressing was actually really good but strongly recommend ordering dressing on the side at this restaurant. I also got the rice which was very good. The schnitzel came in two pieces with more salad, kind of, just arugula and tomatoes not mentioned on the menu now no dressing haha.

Definitely one of the greasiest schnitzels I've had in all my days which was even more noticeable after I gobbled both of them down with a pool of oil left over on my plate. After being served our entrees we got 7 table touches from various people within 5 minutes. This was a lot, too much as we were finally all just wanting to eat. I didn't ever mention the late tea, missing spoon or drowning salad.

Overall everyone was lovely, the restaurant was nice and (dad had no complaints so) we were happy with our overall experience even though they seemed to be having a giant other party in the other room the whole time; unfortunately I just can't give them 5 stars“

“We had a special couples meal tonight at Silvia . The hostess greeted us with a smile and showed us to a corner table ; perfect for a one on one chat . Our server Ally was knowledgeable and very personable ..on her recommendation we started with a house-made ginger rosemary non alcoholic drink ..wow ! Then we had oysters and the prosciutto and figs ..both were excellent ..our mains were the mushroom and asparagus over pasta and the smoked pork chop on polenta ..OUTSTANDING . Ally was attentive without being intrusive .. The manager stopped by to thank us for coming in . All the staff seem happy and effective ..great space , lovely vibe . we drove 75 min for the meal and it was well worth it ., HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Ordered a butterfly shaped cake for our little girls first birthday and we were blown away with how perfect it came out (and how delicious)!“

“Service was excellent as was the food!“

“When we go back to our old stomping ground, we go to this location for the best Michigan style hotdogs around.
We have been coming here for a long time, always good every time. Every thing is really good.
Breakfast served all day.
Cash only, ATM on premises.“

“Love love love this place. Quirky, fun, amazing service, and creative food! Genuinely, they deserve a Michelin star“

“The food is awesome! Every ingredient is local! Nice folks running it!“

“the corned beef hash and eggs are really good so is the right toast the ham dinners that are really good and also the roast beef dinners also good I recommend this place to anybody“

“Love their food. Tonight I tried wings for the first time, barbecue they were wonderful Can't wait to have them again“

“Visited Garvan’s today for the first time for a late lunch in the Pub. We started with Mexican Street Carrots. So delicious! My husband had the traditional Irish breakfast and I had the lamb stew. Both meals were excellent. Wish we could have had dessert, but we were so stuffed. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. We’re looking forward to visiting again.“

“Yes…historically charming“

“Had great wings and salad at the restaurant, along with amazing service.“

“This place was really cute, great food, and great for date night or dinner with friends. I love all the variety of vegetables on their menu and how each is prepared differently. We got the cabbage which was good, I loved the char on it but other than that, it was fine. The oysters were amazing and their squid salad was divine. The entree we got was the chicken which they are known for and it was very good, chicken was juicy and the sauce on the side was great. We also got a side of creamed kale and that was extraordinary, 10/10. Dessert was a Thai tea blondie and I was so excited for it but it was underwhelming.“

“Stopped in for a yummy dinner after touring the gorgeous home of FDR and LOVED it. Had a fabulous burger paired with a fabulous spicy Bloddy Mary. The bar is stunning and the staff is so lovely. Perfect gem“

“Without question the best ribs I ever had.“

“I haven't had a bad meal here. Portions are great,staff is extremely friendly, and food is great. I usually get Eggs Benedict and honestly they do it right,best EB have had anywhere. I always stop here when I am in town. I live about an hour from here and stop whenever I'm in town. Sometimes I'll just go and not have any business. Highly recommended 👌“

“The most delicious bagels!! Local Ramp Cream cheese was the most decadent amazing thing ever!!! Will be back soon!!! Highly recommend!!!“

“Nice atmosphere, friendly service, good food“

“The food is excellent! and the service is fast. A little pricey tho.“

“Absolutely fantastic! The food and service outstanding. Very clean and servers were so attentive. The manager checked on us twice. The fried okra was a hit with our crowd! We will be back!“

“My husband and I go there all the time. Foods great along with great service. Highly recommend it👏👏“

“My wife and I ate there for the first time. Food was very good and plentiful. Service could have been a smidgen better. Waitress was nice and polite but should have checked at least once for drink refills. I tried to make reservations for my car club to come there on a given Sunday and time in May, about 10 of us, but was told they don't do that. I guess it's first come, first serve for seating. We want to eat together and would arrive about 1:30PM. I thought we could secure the back room, but no was the answer. It's ok. I understand. No hard feelings. If we were in that area again, we would eat there. We'll just look for another place in Rosendale. Best wishes to that facility.“

“Usually offers good bread. But is very wishy washy on their "old bread sales" prices. If it's a day old it should be discounted - period. (I have worked for almost four years in a bakery) This is being aggregated by the fact that I was not notified of this pricing structure when I asked for day old bread (with the specific intend to get a discount for something that is not fresh and won't last me as long). Had I been informed about this, I would have just bought the same bread *fresh* - for the *same price*. I feel that the omission of this fact is even done purposely to mislead customers.“

“Healthy, delicious, and incredibly affordable. It’s hard to find lunch in the area that’s both tasty and genuinely healthy for well under $15, but this place delivers every time. I always get it to go. The service is always super fast, too!“

“My wife and myself have been going to the Hurley Mountain Inn for years. The owner Steve and his staff are amazing. When you walk through the door you get treated like family. With a wide variety of great food to choose from there is something for everyone. There is also a great selection of drink to choose from as well. Anything from beer, wine and ciders as well as a variety of different soda’s to choose from. If you like a country atmosphere and great service that is prompt and courteous, then this place is for you. I’m give this a Five ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ raining.“

“We had a fantastic dinner last night. There were four of us, each had a different entree and all were fabulous. The price for four entrees and drinks was very reasonable.“

“Pete’s: my new favorite Rhinebeck diner. Breakfast all day and other yummys, served with love. I sat at the counter and instantly had many new friends. Food is fabulous, but the ambient love is what differentiates Pete’s from all the other great Rhinebeck spots. Stop in, you’ll see what I mean. ❤️“

“We visited on a Friday afternoon in late June 2025. There were plenty of parking spaces in the parking lot when we arrived. There were a few that were shaded by trees but they were all taken.

The restaurant is located near the bathrooms around the corner from the information desk when you first enter. Just go in and head towards the right hallway.

We didn't actually eat here but I stepped in quick to check it out while everyone was going to the restroom.

There were a number of tables and bench seating and it looked like there was outside seating as well under a large pavilion roof. It looked like there was enough space to move in between the tables nicely with a wheelchair or stroller.

The food prices are higher than you expect but normal for a museum cafeteria like this at a tourist attraction. It looked like they had food options for picky eaters as well. Large selection of premade sandwiches and salads so you can just grab and go if you're in a hurry. The food did look fresh and not like it had been sitting there for days.

Overall the visitor center was a great place to visit. There was so much more we could've done here and explored but we were short on time. I think if we were ever in the area again we would visit and I wouldn't' hesitate to grab some food here either.“

“My hubby is from NY but I'm from the South. We stopped by to get lunch after family suggested it. OMG!!!! The best sub I've ever tasted. I got The Big and he got The Godfather. Can't wait to visit again. Not only was the food awesome but the staff were friendly and prices reasonable :)“

“So many community members, businesses, friends & family, came together to support the Gribbon family in their recent renovation at the new location. The new High Falls Cafe is beautiful! It has the same welcoming atmosphere as its previous location, but this is so much better! Food and service are great, and they have been very busy since opening a few weeks ago. If you want to ensure that you can get a table, make a reservation in advance!“

“Delicious breakfast crepes“
