BLACKBARN Hudson Valley

Beautiful location by the water, nice space, easy parking, and a warm welcome when we arrived. Service was fine until our dishes started coming out, at which point there was a lot of confusion about which tables had ordered what food. For us, it ultimately came down to our server noting two of the four dishes incorrectly, one of which she doubled down on by saying we defintely ordered the wrong thing (we didn't; we never even looked at that section of the menu). My husband ate the chicken entree that was put in in error (he ordered the ribs; our server said THAT time it was her error) to avoid waiting for the correct dish, but unfortunately found it dry and unappetizing. The food and drinks were generally really mediocre for the price. Would not return and should have looked more carefully at the reviews before choosing to have a meal here.

Incredible! Our server Valerie was lovely. The bread with a blend of olive oil, butter, and roasted garlic was unique and delicious. I added greens to the farro salad and it was DELICIOUS! The salmon was good. We took a take our chicken for our daughter and that was great too. The patio is lovely... It is a good spot for a special occasion. Drinks were great too. We will be back!

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.

The food here is not good. It doesn't feel like much effort goes into making it tasty or delicious. Ambiance is amazing and service is great. Unfortunately the food does not do the restaurant location and setting justice.

Lovely view from our spacious room. Beautiful bathroom too. Staff was friendly and solicitous. Continental breakfast was ample and tasty. I thought there was a spa, but it hasn't opened yet. The restaurant wasn't open, so we didn't get to try it. It was a good place to celebrate our 40th anniversary

Great food and cocktails, beautiful views from the patio. Staff was friendly, but service was a little slow.

Posh boutique hotel with gorgeous views overlooking the falls. Service is extra ordinary. We arrived at 12 am with many children and were welcomed warmly despite the late hour. Marcello was extremely accommodating and switched the rooms for us so we can be next door to the children. Rooms were super clean and luxurious. Bedding was fluffy and soft. Marcello brought us extra blankets with a smile. The staff was attentive and patient with the kids. We woke up to the glorious sun and calming rushing of the falls. Nearby boating on the Hudson was beautiful and we even got a glimpse of the beautiful horses at the HIITS events nearby. Jack the manager was friendly and very invested in giving us a five-star experience. Terry was very helpful with reservations and personally went to get hot water for my coffee even though breakfast was over. She also accommodated us with late checkout as my toddler was ill. Highly recommend this hotel!

Our experience at Blackbarn Hudson Valley was wonderful. The 'noise level' comment is because we dined outdoors by the Esopus waterfall! Blackbarn has recently renovated their interior space - you can smell the fresh cedar boards as you walk in the front door. The staff and manager were very friendly, caring, prompt and engaging. The food was very inventive and clearly made with love - something you hope to find, but rarely do. In final, we cannot wait to return to Blackbarn Hudson Valley and look forward to dining at their Madison Square Park location next time we 'hit the City'.

I had the sea bass and it was delicious. My wife had the pan seared sea scallops with risotto. The scallops were fantastic and the risotto was flavorful and cooked just right. We also had the charcuterie board which is always a favorite of ours. Definitely a great place for a great meal.

This place is amazing, food is awesome, the view is breathtaking and our waiter was so nice and well

The food was very good. The host/manager had a lot on his plate and did a nice job, as the rest of the staff seemed mostly comprised of new, inexperienced people. They were all friendly, so that makes up for a lot. The food was quite slow coming out of the kitchen. I'm sure it'll all improve with time and experience. I would go back. Great view of the waterfall.

We were looking forward to a nice Saturday brunch and it was the first red flag when I asked the waitress how she was doing and she said "tired." She was completely unfamiliar with their menu. Like we ordered an orange soda for my son and she told me they didn't carry that. I had to show her on the menu and she just said she had never seen that before. I certainly shouldn't been surprised when she didn't get my order right. then had to ask twice for a second glass of wine. Mind that there were only like 5 tables occupied in the entire restaurant at that point. When she argued with my that they couldn't make what I ordered, I asked to talk to a manager. He did nothing to make it right. I was flabbergasted with the service. It was sad because the food we received was really good and the patio view was fantastic.

Beautiful restaurant on the Esoup creek, in Saugerties. About 1.5 miles off NYS Thruway. It has cozy bar, huge main dining room with stone fireplace and vaulted ceiling. Covered deck has nice view of the falls. We had black mission fig pizza, wild mushroom toast & maine lobster rolls all were amazing.service was very good even though they were very busy. We can't wait to return!
