I was gifted an afternoon lunch at this unbeknownst place in Kingston new york. I enjoy fish and all was very fresh. They do have meat dishes but for lunch the variety is missing. Service was great and reasonably priced. If you cannot finish your meal they will provide for you to take home.

A favorite eating spot. We went on their raw bar special night & that was dinner enough for me: Manhattan Clam Chowder, filled with clams, 2 shrimp cocktail, a 1/2 dozen raw clams, 10 oysters. It's a good thing we don't live closer.

We have been twice. First with two people then with four, both on weeknights. The room was comfortable. The service was exceptional, and the food was uniformly very fresh, well prepared, delicious and exceeded expectations. There is obvious care and attention paid to every dish. This is an old school place, and considering the variety of mid Hudson dining options of all kinds, we LOVE this as one of our favorites along with some of the more stylish newcomers! First you get a simple crudite plate and some garlic bread. Meals come with soup or salad. We mostly opted for the salad which is obviously made fresh and with care. The homemade blue cheese dressing is a highlight. The menu is extensive; surf and turf, many seafood combination dishes (both broiled and fried) including a very nice Seafood Newburgh and filets stuffed with crabmeat. On the most recent evening I tried the Chicken Cordon Bleu which was enough for two meals. It was very moist white meat and accompanied by a delicious gravy. Our guests had the Seafood Newburgh, Blackened Salmon and the Seafood combo. They come with a choice of potatoes or mixed vegetables. We had the twice baked potato (great) and mixed veggies (also very fresh). This restaurant is the epitome of old style hospitality. It is not flashy, but it is obviously a labor of love.

Deliciously fresh seafood. I had calamari (not pictured) as an app. It came with a thick freshly made marinara. For my entree I had the scallops with a chimichurri sauce and sweet potato fries. Everything was fresh and delicious. Our server was very friendly, kind, and attentive. Highly recommend!

Food was very good and fresh. Our waitress was new but did such a good job. The atmosphere isn’t bad but it was all old people. Still had a good time and would go again.

On a Thursday evening before 6 p.m., we walked in without a reservation... and got a tiny table in the bar. So, make a reservation. We've been out 3 nights, and each night, the restaurants have been very busy! We ordered 4 appetizers. A dozen steamed clams, a crock of onion soup, crab cakes, and the best onion rings on the planet. Everything was excellent. Oh, I almost forgot, dessert, the lemon sorbet flute is fabulous.

I think it was August 16th. We had a big family get together for a baby shower. We ate downstairs, where it was dark and cool. The food was great the atmosphere was calming but most of all our server Beth was what made our trip special. Our server Beth was a quick-witted almost Roseanne Barr type of server, with a great attitude on life and makes one hell of a mojito!! I tried frog legs for my first time. I plan to go again the next time I'm in the Catskills to visit family. Next time I'll try the escargot and I definitely will be sitting in the basement with Beth!
