“Needed a spot near the taconic for lunch and this place was just what I needed. Happy for the reviewers before me which helped me decide so I knew I needed to leave one of my own. You won’t be disappointed! There’s food options for everyone. Their Sriracha Chicken Sandwich was amazing! We asked for grilled chicken as a substitute and they were happy to make it for us. Will definitely be back when I’m driving through these parts of NY. Thank you!!“
“Went here last night for drinks and small bites. The vibe is perfect and decor is gorgeous. Our mixologist was perfect and fun to watch , he made us a “don’t go until you get some” and “never fully dressed” which were perfection. We ordered the squash bread as well as shrimp cocktail and both were delicious. The perfect date spot. Don’t pass this place up if you have a chance to go!“
“My family and I dined here last evening. Do yourself a solid and order the duck confit potatoes, if that’s your pleasure. We enjoyed our food, the desserts were delightful—-especially the lemon tarte. The staff was attentive and brought my sister a birthday treat. Cozy ambiance and relaxed pacing.“
“This place is foodie HEAVEN! Everything you want from a great restaurant this place has. Nice and tucked away off a main road. You immediately feel like you're dining inside of somebody's home. Gorgeous inside and outside seating. Changing menu always exquisitely thought out. The chef is always bringing new recipes/ingredients from places he travels to. This place is the best way to have a fine dining experience!“
“When you walk in, you are greeted immediately and the atmosphere is inviting and warm. The food was absolutely stellar. I had a grilled octopus special for an app that was cooked to perfection followed by the half rack of lamb that was so juicy and delicious. The sauce was incredible..not only is the food 5 star, watching the staff work together was quite lovely. They seem to be a true family and it is a welcome sight to see. Highly recommend this establishment and kudos to the staff and kitchen.“
“We had the family here for the first time last night. We started with the Calamari and the Housemade Ricotta. Both were wonderful. Then our party ordered The NY strip, the steak frites, a pecan encrusted rack of lamb (a special that night), the pappardelle bolognese, and the Burger. Everything was tasty and perfectly prepared EXACTLY as we ordered. The strip was between medium and medium rare and a high quality steak. The frites were perfect. The pappardelle was fresh made and the sauce outstanding. The lamb was served with a chimmichurri and had 6 chops that were excellent. The Burger was a sight to see. It was large and pink and great. Then we had practically one of everything for dessert which was the end to a perfect night. The service COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER. We had one main server, Lily, who was professional and got everything right (Definitely ask for her) and a handful of other servers during the night that were attentive and professional. The kitchen is in full view of every table and was great to watch. The room was comfortable and the ambiance helped make the night special. Highly recommend this for a dinner you can count on as being one of the best.“
“The four of us had a wonderful evening at the Universal Cafe last night. Dinner was absolutely delicious, creatively composed, and I can’t wait to return. Located in Germantown, NY only 30 minutes away from Rhinebeck, it’s a hidden gem that was the perfect spot on a cold Winter’s night. I started my meal with thinly sliced sweet Cara Cara oranges on a pool of peppery olive oil with crushed pistachios served ice cold… so refreshing after the decadent pâté appetizer. My cod entree was beautifully cooked and served with a silky root vegetable purée. The chocolate pot de crème finished the meal and was so good. The portions were generous, the prices very reasonable, and our server was super charming. Thank you for a wonderful night!“
“We were passing by and saw this place; the burger was delicious, the beer and the cider were also really good. We ordered the blueberries cheese cake and it was the best cheesecake I have ever had, not too sweet and with real fresh blueberries. We will come back guys, we are happy to find a new place in this area. The music was really good too.“

“Sue’s accommodated our club dinner and although the service was a bit slow, everything came out on point and delicious. I had a fantastic Cobb salad and munched away with superbly grilled chicken and the eggs were unbelievable…didn’t know food could be so excitable especially since they make their own pasta! Everything was so fresh!! ?thanks to everyone for a great night out! Hopefully we will be back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free but the salad worked!“
“Miss Lucy's Kitchen offers an exceptional dining experience that begins with an exquisite selection of appetizers. The Roasted Bone Marrow, topped with a Foie Gras Crust and served with Shallot Apple Marmalade, Chives, and Grilled Bread, is a true culinary masterpiece. The rich, buttery marrow, complemented by the luxurious foie gras, creates a flavor profile that is both indulgent and unforgettable. Equally impressive is the Roasted Beet Salad, a delightful blend of tender beets, peppery arugula, sweet candied almonds, creamy labneh, and tangy balsamic vinaigrette. This salad is not just a treat for the palate but also a feast for the eyes, beautifully presented with vibrant colors and textures.Following these outstanding starters, the drink selection at Miss Lucy's Kitchen elevates the dining experience further. Their margaritas are particularly noteworthy, expertly crafted with a balance of sweetness, tartness, and the perfect kick of tequila. Each sip complements the flavors of the meal, refreshing the palate and enhancing the overall enjoyment of the cuisine.The main course offerings continue the trend of excellence. The Boneless Ribeye, accompanied by Mashed Potatoes, Seasonal Vegetables, and a rich Port Garlic Demi Glaze, is cooked to perfection. The steak is juicy and flavorful, and the demi glaze adds a depth of flavor that is both sophisticated and satisfying. Another highlight is the Tagliatelle Frutti Di Mare, a stunning seafood dish featuring Scallops, Lobster, Cod, and P.E.I. Mussels, all enveloped in a creamy Lemon Cream Sauce. The pasta is perfectly al dente, and each element of the dish contributes to a harmonious and luxurious seafood experience.The service here is prompt and efficient, yet never rushed. The waitstaff possess a keen understanding of the menu, offering insightful recommendations and answering any questions with expertise. Their attentiveness ensures that your dining experience is smooth and enjoyable, with every need met promptly.In every aspect, from the initial appetizers to the main courses and drinks, Miss Lucy's Kitchen excels.“

“Really good food, the octopus was probably the best I've had. I had the braised beef my wife the salmon. So very good. Service was great and a very attractive and rustic restaurant. We did get a voucher for 2 glasses of wine for staying at Diamond Mills making it a very affordable high class dinner. The exec chef delivered our appetizer and spent a few minutes speaking about the establishment.“
“Alex welcomed us and showed us to a lovely table. Patrick took very good care of us. The wine and dinner were great. Potscrubbers were delicious and the vegetarian dish was scrumptious. Thank you all at Terrapin for a lovely Easter dinner. We'll be back soon. Joan and Randy“
“My sister and I just had the most fantastic lunch here!! I ordered the cobb salad and it did not disappoint!! Our waitress lucy was fantastic and so helpful!! Her recommendations were spot on and we hope to have her again!! Thanks ole savannah for a great lunch experience- we will be back!!!“
“We returned to Flatiron for the first time in over a year and were not disappointed. Flatiron offers well-executed straightforward fare, with a dash of their own personality. Steaks are accompanied by a sauce of your choice, all very good (the habanero is my favorite). The burgers are flavorful, with the merguez spiced lamb-burger a particular treat. Service is friendly, the food arrives in a timely manner, and the bar has a good variety of cocktails and beers. The whole experience is fairly priced. All told, Flatiron remains a reliable fixture in the region if you're looking for a good steak or a just a few apps and a beer.“
