"For a splurge dinner, head to this stylish hotel and restaurant, where the tasting menu lives up to the hype."
"The DeBruce blends James Beard acclaim with a menu that highlights the best of Catskills produce."
"The restaurant is part of a renovated 1880s hotel, also called The DeBruce, that is among the last of the grand hotels of the Catskills’ glory days. Dishes like its Peconic escargot with potato risotto and a three-year aged Comté stand out on a menu that also includes venison tartare, celery root with ramps and elderberry capers, and trout in a beurre cancalaise with trout roe. Breakfast highlights include a lamb belly and chanterelle congee, soft-scrambled eggs with uni and whipped cream, and a rhubarb galette." - Richard Morgan
"After another brisk morning walk at Kenoza, Dana and I checked out, drove over to DeBruce, and hiked its shady, fern-edged switchback trails. We took our boxed lunch on the porch: chilled ginger-carrot soup, locally sourced charcuterie and cheese, and Hudson Valley foie gras. But the most rewarding place of all for a hike might be a beer garden, Upward Brewing Company, in Livingston Manor, another recent opening whose excess of outdoor space now feels radically forward-looking."
"Floating in the DeBruce's pool offers vistas of the Catskills." - Lilah Ramzi
