Peekamoose Restaurant

"Peekamoose is an even better restaurant than it is a word, and that’s saying a lot. We’d put it alongside Cucina in Woodstock as a must-visit for dinner. The space is in a restored farmhouse, with two options for seating: make a reservation for the more formal dining room, or head to the deck where there’s plenty of first-come, first-served outdoor seating. The menu includes a list of dishes that make you want to order everything, including plates of wood-grilled octopus and homemade gnudi." - team infatuation

This was our second time dining at Peekamoose. The food is consistently excellent—comforting, flavorful, locally sourced. On our first visit we were seated in the larger main dining room, but this time we enjoyed a quieter evening in one of the side rooms on a slow night. Different vibe, still great experience. Great music playlist (I needed Shazam). The specialty cocktails were unique and well-crafted, and a surprising standout. Desserts were a nice variety to choose from. The space is warm and welcoming, with some lovely local art and decor that adds to the atmosphere. Peekamoose is definitely a standout in the area, and a smart pick for a night out in the Catskills. Highly recommend making reservations if you’re coming on a weekend.

One of our favorite places to dine in and enjoy the food and drinks. The place has the best food and drinks they keep changing the menu every season so you get to try new dishes every time you visit. Everything is made fresh the bread is delicious and it’s all local.

Second time here and absolutely loved it! First time came for a rehearsal dinner and loved the food, made a special trip back for our late anniversary celebration and had such a great time! First time we loved the beet tartare and so we had to get more beets! Everything was so good!

I'm in the Catskills every weekend but usually for a day trip. This weekend though I stayed over 2 nights and really wanted a really nice, fancy meal as I don't really dine out often. This place delivered on all fronts. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely perfect and delicious and overall I left feeling very satisfied. Just a wonderful experience!

Delicious food in a wonderful atmosphere. The flavors are a total experience for the senses. Even the Punkin soup had so many flavors. The grilled octopus was superb. The main course was delicious and the texture of the meat was incredible. I recommend making reservations since they are always busy!

I came twice with my boyfriend during our vacation this week. Dinner was amazing, service was quick & the staff was helpful with my questions about food options. If we are ever in the area again, we would come back. Ordered: onion tart, charcuterie board, potato soup, steak frites, Ice cream sampler, pumpkin cake, chicken, steak dinner, bread with chive butter, spiced apple drink/tea. Some items are only available right now in November.

I have been dying to try this place after a few visits to the Catskills and I'm so glad we finally made it in! the restaurant itself is so beautiful and charming, and the staff is among the loveliest I have encountered anywhere. the food was exceptional, and it elevated what was already such a special experience. truly cannot wait to return on my next trip.

Stopped in to celebrate a special occasion and like past visits this place is freaking amazing!! The decor and ambience strikes a balance of feeling upscale while not feeling too fancy that you can't stop in after a long hike. Service is always top notch because the staff is always friendly and helpful. The owners and managers pride themselves on hospitality which shows from their active presence in the dining room to ensure customers are enjoying their meals and evening. Food is what keeps me coming back because it's so freaking yummy! They've had a nice sirloin cut on the menu for some time so I was a bit disappointed it wasn't there anymore BUT the steak they replaced it with is just as amazing. The menu change made me value and appreciate that they change it up so it's not the same old boring food. Not that their amazing steaks can get boring but while initially I was disappointed the menu changed a bit I understand and value that decision now that I've had that amazing hanger steak.

House baked bread to start w a sensational octopus app. Home made rigatoni bolognese was perfect. Chopped salad just they way I always crave it. Apple tart with vanilla ice cream. Great service all around. Unique decor.

We cannot say enough good things about Peekamoose! Our party all agreed that we had a perfect night out. Peekamoose felt upscale and intimate, with incredible food and a talented staff. The entire staff was wonderful, but especially our server Anna. She seemed to connect with every table she served that evening, and her expertise on the menu made for an unforgettable experience. The menu is concise, but with enough variety to keep things interesting and accommodate everyone at your table. The menu changes seasonally based on local, fresh ingredients that are in season at any time. There were plenty of vegetarian options, and some that seemed vegan friendly as well. The seasonal cocktails were also very fun and refreshing, table favorites were the rhubarb-forward Triple Lindy and the Tattooed Genius. Such a fun start to our evening! For a night out, our party tried a wonderful variety of the menu. We were impressed with everything, and can't wait to come back and try the rest. All of the appetizers were very shareable, we adored the cheese curds and the chopped salad. The risotto and the beet tartare were both fresh and lovely. The lamb was delightful, but the chicken (Anna's favorite) was absolutely perfect. Our visit to Peekamoose and Anna's service was the highlight of our weekend in the Catskills, and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Food was pretty good but not good enough where I would come back, but I'm glad I tried it. Prices are kind of absurd, comparable to NYC high end restaurants without the high end experience. The onion tart and 12 ingredient salad were meh. Gnudi was a good vegetarian option but I think eating a whole portion would have been boring. Ambiance is quirky but not matching the prices. Someone had their dog inside, and there was a strong urine stench. Service was otherwise pretty good.

Had a lovely time. The decor was beautiful and staff was excellent. The food was delicious. I must say it's a little pricey but all places are now. I enjoyed the drinks and food. Will be back for some nice date nights.

Awesome high end restaurant in the Catskills. Food is amazing with excellent starters and entrees. Wonderful drinks menu as well. We were in about two weeks ago and enjoyed the charcuterie board, lamb, and the fish and chips. All three were fantastic. And the bread and desserts were equally great. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We had a memorable dinner. It's a bit quieter in the bar but the main dining is nicely decorated.

Marion B.

Yelp

We loved the food. It was fresh and delicious. And the fresh bread they put on the table was fantastic. Everyone was friendly. My husband lost his glasses that night and when we returned home from our trip to the Catskills, he called the restaurant to ask if anyone had found the glasses. The person he spoke with was very helpful, texted a picture, and then sent the glasses back to us right away.

Diana J.

Yelp

Sorry photos are terrible, it's quite dark. The soup was so good I tried to go home and make it. The charcuterie was standard. The fish and chips were a highlight for me. Crispy and juicy fish. The salad didn't have too much going on flavor wise even tho it looked liked a lot. Drinks came fast. Service was excellent.

Jim S.

Yelp

I thought the food was very good here. Started with the potato leak soup followed by their Gnudi which was very good. The pork belly meatball was one of the more creative dishes I've had in a long time and it was delicious. The flavors of the red cabbage and the pork meatball went perfectly together. The duck was awesome!

Claudia S.

Yelp

Don't let this looks of the outside fool you! It is a very warm rustic feel inside. Our waiter Paul is was very friendly. Let's start off with the bread and butter. The butter was so creamy mixed in chives for flavor and bread was warm and crispy. We almost ate the whole roll before we even got our food! For drinks I ordered the prickly pear martini. Omg I just loved it !!b it was not sweet just a little thicker consistency and delicious! For dinner I had the steak sirloin. It was cooked just right. My husband had the trout and that was very good too. Don't forget to get dessert! It was my husband birthday so we had ordered the steam carrot cake. It was to die for!! It came out warm. My tastebuds were going crazy!! So good!! We had a great experience and no wonder this was highly anticipated by everyone!! I've passed this so many times on the way to Bellayre now I will stop in again..

Peekamoose Restaurant and Tap Room is housed in a charming farmhouse right on Route 28. Making a reservation seemed like the way to go since it was pretty crowded when we arrived for dinner. There was a parking lot behind the restaurant and while the snow didn't make things easy for cars, we managed. Our server seemed like a cool guy and kept tabs on us throughout the meal. The other employees were very hospitable and friendly as well. There was complimentary bread and butter which we all devoured. For appetizers, the wood grilled octopus ($20) and housemade charcuterie ($34) were excellent. For the latter, the meats included grass-fed beef pastrami, chicken liver pate, and port and garlic terrine. Yum. The server hyped up the housemade gnudi so we had to try it ($17 for the appetizer, $34 for the main). While I enjoyed them, I'm glad I selected the pan seared rainbow trout ($36) as my entree; the gnudi became kind of monotonous after a while as you only get the cheesy dumplings while with the trout, it was atop a bed of lentils with some greens and tomato too. A little binder with numerous pages contained the drink menu. The Jan zero proof cocktail ($8) consisted of Earl Grey tea, maple, lemon, and mint. It was refreshing and delightful. The Cindy with ginger beer, berry shrub, and lime was also a winner. And lastly, how can you resist a place with a name like Peekamoose?

Kunal K.

Stellar food and service on both of my visits Seasonally updated menu means the food is made with excellent ingredients and it shows. Everything from the bread and butter to the prickly pear cocktail to The house made ice creams are absolutely stellar. Really enjoyed their malted vanilla ice cream and the parsnip cake. Had never had knudi before but loved the texture and the flavor of the tomato sauce was outstanding

Nora S.

Very lovely meal, drink, and atmosphere. They had a children's menu. Fish and chips was a standout.

Donna R.

Service was good however on the menu for $44 was prawns, I emphasize the S, over grits. When my order came it was one tiny prawn over the worst grits I've ever tasted in my life. When I mentioned it to the waiter the manager came over and proceeded to tell us that due to food coasting more the restaurant is cutting back. First of all that is something a manager should never say to a customer second that's not my problem, third it's false advertising to say prawns and only serve one. Then he went on to say that it was a 7 oz prawn when in fact was no more than a 3 oz prawn and most of it was the head. We didn't want to make a scene so we sat waiting for the check. The manager sent over a dessert we didn't order and when the bill came he said he complimented us the dessert. THAT WE DIDN'T ORDER!!!!! Then still charge the $44 for the measly prawn. This is no way to treat your customers. We will never go back there again!

4.5 stars I had come across the Peekamoose Restaurant & Tap Room while researching a getaway in the area. From what I could tell, it was THE destination restaurant in that rural area, and from the booked dining room on the evening we visited, I could see that was definitely the case. While the restaurant looked like a basic, yet large, house from the outside, it was like a spacious log cabin inside. The bar area and main dining room were beautiful, and there was also a large balcony for the summer months. Our gracious server made sure to constantly check in with us, starting from our first few moments where I ordered a Blood Orange Margarita. The tart and potent cocktail included Gran Agave tequila, blood orange puree, Cointreau, and lime. I enjoyed my beverage with slices of the heavenly Onion Bread and chive butter they had provided. For my main course, I opted for the Oven-Roasted Atlantic Tilefish, which I had been told was resembled a Snapper. It certainly had a similar mild flavor, but was meatier in texture. The fish was cooked perfectly, but could have used a bit more seasoning. The small filet was served with Dark Horse Farm golden beets, dill, and roasted potatoes, all over a celery root puree. My boyfriend had selected the Wood-Grilled Sirloin Steak, which had a flavorful char on it and was laying in a light smoked tomato butter. The meat was plated with roasted, RSK Farm fingerling potatoes and sautéed kale. I tried the kale and thought it could have been cooked more; it was too tough. He also got a side of Mashed Potatoes that he really liked. The Peekamoose Restaurant & Tap Room was a drive from our hotel and on long, dark, and windy roads, but we thought it had been worth it for such a quality experience.

Yelp

Absolutely excellent from start to finish! With the exception of reservation availability , there was nothing for us to be unpleased with. The food, service and ambiance were all outstanding! From being seated to paying the check, the experience was well worth it. Grilled octopus that was the most tender and tasty I've had. The arctic char was perfectly cooked rare, and even had a crispy skin. The Gnudi were like delightful soft cheese pillows. The cocktails are well crafted and generous. I strongly recommend this as a place to dine.

It's been a long time since I was this impressed with a restaurant! Everything, from the ambience, decor, attentive staff, to the food, omg , the food! Hubby and I dined on plum margarita and prickly pear cocktails, wood fire grilled octopus, stracciatella salad, gnudi, arctic char and panna cotta . Everything was perfect!

During our stay at The Roxbury, the Peekamoose was our final planned meal and I'm glad we closed out our trip here. The venue itself is spellbinding. We asked our server about the various eye-catching fixtures and décor; she explained that the art pieces were by the owner of Acme Studios in the city. I'm not familiar with the venue, but to my untrained eye, there was plenty of visual stimulation while we awaiting our food and drink. The surprising highlight of our dinner had to be the steamed parsnip cake dessert, served with a scoop of ice cream. It was described to us as a version of a carrot cake, but J and I both agreed it much more closely resembled a sticky toffee pudding in consistency and decadence. If you find yourself fortunate enough to encounter it on their menu, absolutely order it. Our main was a bit of a mixed bag. We shared the wood grilled sirloin steak (after also starting with two appetizers). The portion was extremely generous and the kitchen was kind enough to pre-split the dish for us, which we always appreciate. The meat was done to a perfect medium rare, but I found my cut to be a bit unpleasantly gristly. Granted, our overall experience with the ambiance, service, and food was delightful -- this was the sole mild disappointment of my experience. At the encouragement of our server, we took a stroll through the separate bar area on our way out and found it humming with activity. I would love to come back to dine in that space. The main dining room is grand and stately, but it'd be fun to check out a rowdier version of the Peekamoose another time. All in all, this was hands down one of the best dinners we enjoyed in the Catskills and it'd make my short list for a repeat meal.

Lindsey D.

Yelp

Very cute ambience inside! I made a reservation for the weekend for two of us at 8 o'clock at least a week in advance. Some guests we were with were unable to get reservations a few days before the weekend. We enjoyed our dinner. We got the potato and leek soup for the appetizer and it was very good. My husband got the steak for dinner and it was amazing - it was tough on the outside and cooked perfectly on the inside. I got the chicken which I thought was ok, I wouldn't get it again. It didn't have a ton of flavor. His steak was much better. For dessert we got the cheesecake which was pretty good (no crust- gluten free).

Mala L.

Yelp

Very popular restaurant for the area. What a gorgeous place! The décor is amazing and it's huge in there with multiple rooms, high ceilings, and outdoor seating. It looks like it was probably a converted farmhouse. Perfect for a date night, dinner with a larger group, special occasion, etc. We shared the caramelized onion tart app which was definitely a standout. My fiancé had the mushroom risotto and loved it so much he literally cleaned his plate. It was perfectly portioned, any larger would have been too much. I had the pasta Bolognese which was good but nothing crazy. We shared the blackberry sorbet for dessert and it was perfect! The staff was extremely polite and professional. Even thought I wasn't blown away by my entree, I would still recommend and come back to try others!

We just got to Catskills and looked Up a place to eat for dinner. Came in as a walk in and sat in the tavern. The ambience is adorable. The complimentary bread was so good! My husband shared clam chowder which was very tasty. Generous portions of main entree. We got the pork shank and chicken and both were great. No knife Needed for the pork shank. Don't skip on dessert: steamed pumpkin cake was tasty.

Cara B.

Yelp

Visiting from Long Island, this place is a staple to us! The food is always on point. No matter what special you get they put love and heart into every dish. The caramelized onion and wood grilled octopus is a must try! The panna cotta with blueberries was the perfect finish to a great dinner. Whether you get their pasta, fish or steak special you can't go wrong, everything is delicious! If you haven't stopped in yet you must. The rustic/taxidermy animals are such a unique and interesting setting. Don't walk, RUN!

Absolutely wonderful experience at the Peekamoose. The waitress was kind and very attentive. She made suggestions on the food and let us sample a few drinks before we made our final decision. The drink selection was of mostly local selections, which was great. I got the burger which was farm fresh, bun made in house, other toppings were delightful. My fiancé got the chicken dish and she was blown away by how fresh it was. The atmosphere consisted of a deep earthy feel, similar to an old ski lodge, I'm talking this place was sweet!!!! Lots of wood, blended right into the theme of the mountains. I have to just touch on the deserts, all incredible, all homemade. We got the steamed parsnip cake, with salted caramel, and whipped cream. This will always be one of our spots again when we are visiting the Catskills. Thank you for such a great evening.

Went to Peekamoose after a long day of skiing. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the design of the restaurant made it fit right into the surroundings. We enjoyed the mushroom risotto as an appetizer, the pork shank and the sirloin - everything was delicious. Cant recommend coming here enough!

This time we ate in the main dining room and had a wonderful meal. Only complaint was the duck which arrived cold and wasn't the best. Other entries were perfect including the chopped salad, the Gnudi, wild mushroom risotto, arctic char, scallops and a wonderful steamed pumpkin desert!

A Gem in the Mountains! If you're in the area it's an excellent place to try. Peekamoose Restaurant has excellent vibes, good food and friendly staff. I loved this place so much I wish I could hang out there more often! Just make sure you HAVE RESERVATIONS beforehand.They have a moderate menu for drinks but some great options on the menu. Mixed drinks were very good and my bf loved the beer menu. The environment is eclectic and woodsy but unique and classy. No words to really explain the experience. They have a private party room and a child room which just make this even more unique and gives weight to their staff's desire to serve and serve well. I'd love to go back in the spring or summer and sit outdoors where there is a small fire pit and tons of picnic table and lounge chairs ! Definitely a must stop !

Annalee S.

Yelp

Best ever, highlight of our trip to the Catskills and we will definitely be back. The vibe of this place is perfect, the exact place you'd love to find up a winding road in the middle of the forest. We started with the squash soup, hummus and complementary warm bread and butter. All three were delicious. For entrees we both got the chicken which was perfectly cooked and served with mashed sweet potatoes and perfectly roasted carrots. All the food was fresh and thoughtfully prepared. For dessert, we went with the pumpkin cake which did not disappoint! This is a must visit restaurant, thanks Peekamoose!

Ca T.

Yelp

We ordered the braised pork belly entree, and while we understand pork belly has a component of fat, the fat to meat ratio was probably 95:5. With that amount of fat, it was likely impossible to completely render and it made the entree inedible. The service was mediocre at best. Our appetizer plates were not picked up before our entrees came; we had to help the server move dishes around. And we had to request utensils for our entrees. It was a disappointing experience.

Linda K.

Being a sought after restaurant in a remote area with few dining options, the Peekamose books out early. So I secured a spot for a birthday dinner a few weeks prior on Resy. Even at the relatively early 6:00 dinner hour we got the very last spot in their cramped gravel parking lot. We were greeted by a polite young woman and shown to our table in the main dining room. Appreciated the beautiful Catskill lodge decor replete with antler-themed wooden chandeliers and colorful wall art. I got a "Shielmaden" specialty cocktail, potent and delicious. Hubby ordered a mescal-based "Double Rations" which he deemed overly spicy, and he usually likes spicy things. House baked warm bread with soft scallion butter was delicious and replenished upon request. Our server was fairly efficient but can't say she was friendly. The masked blonde owner stopped to chat lengthily with regulars at nearby tables (even hugging a few friends during COVID!) but passed us by. Definitely a clubby atmosphere not especially welcoming to "non-members" like us. Okay.... The menu is limited, supposedly in keeping with their farm-to table sustainably sourced theme. Started with the 12 ingredient chopped salad, a small portion of indistinguishable moist veggies way overpriced at $13.00. Green pea risotto entree was bland and mushy like baby food. My rigatoni bolognese was heavily spiced with an unusual stem-laden herb rendering it overly tangy and hard to digest afterward. The best part of dessert was the huge sparkler they give to all birthday guests, a very nice touch. The Peekamoose offers unique (aka weird) desserts like steamed parsnip cake, passed on that! They were out of cheesecake at 6:30 so we chose their hand-churned espresso ice cream instead, more like diluted sweet coffee than flavorful espresso. "Subtle" flavoring can be overly bland and certainly was in this case. OK experience overall if you like that sort of thing; personally I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

This restaurant is so cool! I was surprised by how nice the decorations were when I stepped in. Service was excellent. My waiter was super nice. Food was awesome too.

Peekamoose never fails to impress. From cocktails to desserts, everything is delicious. Hosts and waitstaff make you feel at home. Although we have a laugh about my friend who doesn't like his hamburger on a brioche bun, that's the ONLY thing he ever finds to complain about. Gnudi are light, fluffy, and delicious. If the short ribs are on the menu, get them. Order a side of mashed potatoes and buckle up because it's going to be one heck of a ride for your taste buds!

Ricardo B.

Yelp

If you are in the Catskills and want a nice meal this is the place. Staff is very friendly and thoughtful. If you live nearby though you'd notice the menu doesn't really change though, it's been years and still the same? Anyways, it's always delicious, so it works.

Raymond K.

Yelp

Unexpected fine dining in the Catskills. Servers were masked, which I didn't expect, and friendly. They take Resy reservations here. Rustic exterior. Interior had a big variety of paraphernalia and was nicely appointed. The bread was warm and had a firm exterior. Chive butter was fluffy. Margarita with blood orange ($15 iirc) was moderately sweet and was decent. Octopus was very tender and is on the softer side and the dish had some fingerling potato bits and microgreens. Pretty good overall. Caramelized sea scallops ($46) with asparagus, celery root puree, blueberry lemon gastrique was excellent. Scallops had a great char and were very tender. Celery root puree was mild and inoffensive. Blueberries and the lemon/blueberry puree had a mild sweetness and worked pretty well with the scallops. Note that the scallops entree is not a large amount of food so you may need to order other dishes to be full. Tried my friend's medium rare pork tenderloin with creamy polenta, rainbow swiss chard, and grilled peaches. The tenderloin was super tender with a lot of flavor and the polenta and grilled peaches were excellent as well. Another friend said the salmon was dry, though the cucumber mint puree and quinoa with it were good. Friends got an ice cream trio of expresso, mint, and vanilla malt. They thought the ice creams were a bit heavier and really liked the mint. They said it tasted like fresh mint. I was also pretty impressed by the flavors. Ice cream on top of a chocolate syrup, homemade donut was very good. Donuts are made daily and had a soft interior consistency.

If only I lived closer, I'd visit Peekamoose every day. It's a great place for enjoying a special occasion with family and friends. And, PAM boasts a dark, sexy bar as well. My bestie took me there for my milestone birthday this year and we had a wonderful time. Food and drink is delicious, set against the picturesque landscape of upstate NY. So cozy and charming. The owner was lovely, too. For one thing, although we hadn't ordered the huge onion rings, she was kind enough to comp us a mini tasting plate. Highly recommended. I can't wait to go back.

Chris D.

Yelp

A solid 4 1/2 stars. Great martinis to start. The bread was also fabulous (and so was the second round they gave us!) the gazpacho was interesting, but a bit too much like a blueberry smoothie. I prefer a more traditional gazpacho, just my taste. Loved the trout, loved the pasta and risotto and loved the sticky toffee pudding. The donut wasn't my favorite. Staff were lovely and we didn't wait too long on a Saturday night as a walk-in. Would recommend if in the area!

Fantastic farm to table restaurant in the catskill area. Reservation required, there are outdoor and indoor seating. I was able to sit outside and looking at the foliage when I was dining. The service was amazing, the servers are well trained and all wear masks and gloves, they also recommend people to wear mask when talking to the server to protect them. I see they always sanitize their hands even with gloves on. The table offers free home made scallion bread with scallion butter. Bread was still hot when served and perfected toasted. The charcuterie is a must have, chicken liver pate was perfect. The burger is very juicy, a thick slice of cheese on top. Highly recommend if you are in catskill even if o was staying 50min drive away, it was still worth a trip. Price is super reasonable. This place is very busy, make plans ahead of time.

Haven't been up in the area in almost a year and are hear 3 of the 4 nights I was here. It's farm to table, great quality and big city gourmet at very reasonable prices (especially for the quality and portions). The staff are extremely knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Must haves... beet tartare (not beef), onion or tomato tart, strawberry and arugula salad, cod fish fish and chips and burger. Don't fill up on Their hot homemade bread and butter. Will be back.

The ride alone on a week night is glorious. Felt like we owned the road. Rt. 28 that is. Worth it on so many levels. Location is out there. The old barn is charming and inviting beyond belief. The attention we got was top shelf and warm. Our server, Dale is the consummate gentleman. Felt like an old friend. Marybeth stopped by, lovely. The food is perfect, inventive and delicious. The drinks from the bar were so good. We will visit again, soon and sit in the tap room. Can't wait. So we were there on a week night, joined by a laid back moderate crowd of locals and a few early weekend folks. Just fantastic mood.

Does it get any better... you and the family venture to a new part of the country and you open Yelp to give you some recommendations and you find out about a place with a quirky name not too far from where you're staying and it ends up being the best place you'll try while on vacation? The place has a really cool, unique look (to match the punny name of the joint). Friday night: it's packed and you don't have reservations but they can accommodate you if you don't mind eating outside (you don't, they have plenty of heaters going). And before you know it... a cocktail by the name of 'El Vampiro' is calling your name and with each sip it's like a punch to the mouth between that very salty rim on the glass to that jalapeno mixed with the spirits and burnt orange (?!) among other ingredients. A one-page seasonal menu lets you know they're not playing around. As for the food? C'mon, man. It's getting raves from the family ("maybe best steak ever, definitely top 3!") and my kale-sausage soup was incredible. I grew up in an Italian household but this was the very first time I ever had gnudi (so I can't compare it to anything else but I was a fan). Everything was so darn good we had to nitpick ("that large dish-bowl they served the fish-and-chips in was too awkward and weird!") just to find some sort of fault. The price was a bit rich for my blood but completely worth it. The waitress could not be any sweeter throughout. Ample parking lot (oddly-shaped, people decide to make their own spots and it got messy for everyone) but we opted to park across the little bridge where a few more spots were found and well-needed. And what seemed to be the 'norm' for almost every place we hit while in the Catskills... this place is dog-friendly and there was a fire-pit out front.
