Quiet night in the dining room meant excellent service from the waitress and attention from the manager. Food superb, excellent value. We were a small family gathering. We'll be back, would recommend to anyone.

Food was good, service very slow, and it's hard to get to.

Dining outside at Shephard Hills is outstanding. The view is spectacular. The pond, golf course, and landscaping is breathtaking. It's up the mountain on a windy road but well worth the trip.

The outdoor setting was gorgeous. At times the service was slow but the wait staff was lovely. The music was loud for us but the musicians were very gracious about adjusting the volume. We loved the ambiance, music and food. We were so happy to find this restaurant and plan to return

We've been to the town of Roxbury on three occasions over the past few years, and this was the first time we knew about Ate O Ate. We decided to celebrate our 50th Anniversary dinner there. It was the best decision we made. Your outdoor seating has a lake and mountain view that was spectacular . We were fortunate that evening to have a singer they hired from Lake George, who made our celebration a home run. Having a live person sing at any restaurant during dinner is a recipe for success. It's a draw to bring in customers. Service was excellent. Food was excellent. We definitely will return again. Only this time golf will be added to the day. Their 9 hole golf course looks amazing to play. A good day of golf followed by a great dinner. it don't get much better.

The wine list didn't offer anything interesting and, aside from the delicious artichokes, the food was not very good. In fact, the cod smelled fishy and I had an upset stomach all night after eating it. The live music was terrible.

Weird experience, and not in a good way. Saw the Shepard Hills Tavern website and Instagram posts, thought it looked good so booked a rez on Opentable for a Thursday night when they were supposedly serving dinner. One must navigate a badly graded narrow gravel road with several hairpin twists and turns and no lighting to get there. Not what I expected. The lovely stone clubhouse, verdant golf course and lush flowers were welcome sights. We were greeted by a pleasant young server and shown to an outside table. Unfortunately the metal table had no covering and was quite dirty; even worse were the thin red chair pads that smelled of some very unpleasant PP-like substance. Eww. Since all of the other tables looked similar or were occupied and service was slow, we thought we'd stay put and make the best of it - but also planned to shower in hot water soon afterward. We were given single sheet paper menus showing a limited selection, but our hopes were raised (and then dashed) when we saw the statement "ask your server about dinner specials and desserts." Well we asked - only to be told there were no such offerings except maybe on weekends. I had a nice fresh Greek salad and tiny dried out chicken wings. Hubby had a bland grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Iced tea tasted canned not brewed. We finished our meals, and as night descended we were the only ones left outside with our server MIA. After over 15 minutes of waiting we finally went inside the clubhouse to find our server socializing among a hopping bar scene of locals. Guess she forgot about us. While some restaurants are using post-COVID staff shortages as an excuse for slow and limited service, this bizarre experience went way beyond that rationale. Accordingly, we we will not risk life or limb to brave the winding road up to Shepard Hills Tavern again anytime soon.

Wonderful lunch in a beautiful setting. Food, drinks and service were excellent. Lovely walk around pond and grounds. Will definitely be back.
The place is magnificent. Stopped here with my husband on our NYC getaway trip. Best service ever. Great, high quality food. Delicious. Surprised that they don’t have too much reviews! Recommend!

This restaurant is a hidden gem not to be missed-it is very close to the infamous Roxbury Hotels(to which they DELIVER) and is one of the safest establishments to socialize in during this time of COVID-The food,service and views are excellent- the dining is outside for now - on a patio or under a tent w fire pits, games and the most amazing views! They provide delivery w an ever changing menu found on their website- The Farmhouse Caterers at Sheppard Hills.

Mondays are buffet nights. All you can eat.Nothing fancy, the meat a bit dry. But, this could be a great conclusion for a golf day.The views are amazing and the stuff is nice.
