“The artistry and taste of the food, as well as the attention of the staff were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our very special experience. The atmosphere and ambiance were delightful. Our server Zack, our chef, and the water and bread staff, were very attentive. Zack's warm and welcoming personality led us to ask questions which were graciously answered. Your attractive and creative artistic selections were especially appreciated by non-meat eaters. Thank you for a most enjoyable luncheon experience in an elegant setting enhanced by impeccable service!”
“We're hanging out at the dive bar down the road and the bartender there recommended we come here for some good drinks. And my oh my were they good. I never believed in the science of mixology or that a mixologist was a skilled tradesmen. But the old man who made our drinks must have been the Gordon Ramsey of Bartending. Your average bartender is a frycook by comparison. I had a few of their signature cocktails as well as a Manhatten and an old fashioned; my go-to drink so I've had a lot of them from a lot of different places, and never in my decades of life have I tasted such a perfectly mixed old fashioned. It was sublime and I doubt I'll taste its equal again in this lifetime unless I find myself in Kingston again and this man happens to be behind the bar once more. He also whipped up some scratch-made eggnog with alcohol and it was exquisite.”
“Want a great wine list (without an hour-long wait for a seat)? Come here. Want a yummy little snack with your wine? Even better! I wouldn't call Sonder a hidden gem, but perhaps an undersung highlight of Kingston in general and midtown in particular.”
“This is my favorite dive in Rhinebeck - all vegetarian and all delicious! This time we came at the busiest hour - lunch rush on Easter weekend, and the line was super long out its door. But the atmosphere behind the counter (where they take your order and assemble the food) remained calm, orderly and efficient. Every customer was greeted with friendly smiles, thoughtful questions and speedy service. I ordered my usual falafel pita, plus the roasted pepper and artichoke soup, while my husband tried their sabeech pita. It's a miracle how much food they skillfully stuff into a pita pouch - I would have torn it or dropped the content - making one's meal a great value. The soup was amazing, and the sandwiches were heavenly! There aren't many such fast yet gourmet eateries in Rhinebeck, and this one is a must try!”
“Wow - a truly wonderful surprise in Highland! My brother and I stopped by for dinner recently and were blown away by how good this place is. We ordered a phenomenal sizzling fish and pork over rice, both were delicious.The owner is also wonderful and welcoming - it feels like having dinner with family. Whether you live nearby or are just passing through the area, Hapag is really worth stopping by for a special and delicious meal. Apparently they'll also do a special platter style shared dinner if you have a party larger than 5 - hopefully we'll get to try that someday!”
“Got a couple of egg and cheese sandwiches on our way out of town. They took a few minutes because they really are made to order, but service was excellent. The sandwiches were fresh and delicious, and we picked up a loaf of the chocolate babka to take home. Also grabbed some frozen pierogi, which meant we didn't have to wait for the shop around the corner to open.”
“We ordered six courses from the menu, between entrance & main course. Food was quite tasty & very delicious but their dishes are not visually stunning.The service was great. However I would prefer if they have live music, would be more fun for having a good time & stay longer.Definitely one of my go to spot in Hudson Valley.”
“A true hidden gem. From the food to the service you will forget the essence of the atmosphere and remember not to judge a book by it's cover.Parking: Plenty of parking as you follow the parking signs.”
“This place has a classic American tavern feel. There is bar seating and table seating. There are a couple of sections (a big back section which is where our group of 11 was seated). Food was delicious and they had a couple of options - bar snacks, appetizers, salads/soup, mains. The price of main entrees run from $20-$30. Service was also great.”
“Went in for the first time and it was so cute. Definitely a place to grab you coffee, juice, food or tea and sit down to chat, work, read a book. I got a smoothie it was good and fast!”
“Went here last night for drinks and small bites. The vibe is perfect and decor is gorgeous. Our mixologist was perfect and fun to watch , he made us a “don’t go until you get some” and “never fully dressed” which were perfection. We ordered the squash bread as well as shrimp cocktail and both were delicious. The perfect date spot. Don’t pass this place up if you have a chance to go!”
“My family and I dined here last evening. Do yourself a solid and order the duck confit potatoes, if that’s your pleasure. We enjoyed our food, the desserts were delightful—-especially the lemon tarte. The staff was attentive and brought my sister a birthday treat. Cozy ambiance and relaxed pacing.”
“Delicious oven brick pizza. We had the Mediterranean salad and Grana Padano pizza. They were both really tasty. You could taste the good quality of the tomatoes and cheese in the pizza. The crust was thin, crisp and very tasty.”
“Excellent service, best Caribbean in the area. Taking away one star, because there have been a Couple of times where the Oxtail has been really fatty pieces. Maybe some like it that way, but not ideal for me.”
“Best bookstore in Kingston! I'm not a coffee drinker but I do love their hot chocolate. I order the same thing every time I stop by ( Small hot chocolate and a cookie) .This place is super cozy with an awesome selection of books. If you can find a seat on a less busy day your in luck! It's a chill place to meet up with friends or get some work done. Staff is always friendly and helpful. If your new to Kingston definitely check it out it's one of a kind.”
“I chose to get dinner from El Rey super last minute and I was blown away by the enchiladas rojas with carnitas. Some of my favorite Mexican food I’ve ever had! The churros were also pretty good. Definitely will be going back.”
“We stopped in while on a road trip from Delaware to Montreal. What a cool little place! It's a combination tea/coffee place. The person who helped us could not have been nicer. I had the Maple Rosemary Latte which was amazing! We would certainly frequent this place if we lived in the area. Check it out!”
“If you are looking for a Great sandwich for a more then reasonable price, you have found your place. The sandwich selection is full of great options, and you won't be disappointed. The Cuban has been my go-to for a quick weekend lunch option. The staff is attentive and friendly, and one gentlemen calls me young man, even though I am sure that I am older then him which leads me to an extensional crisis while I eat my Cuban. I hope that this joint can survive in our sweet little town full of Teeny boppers and hopeless hipsters. Do yourself a favor and grab a sandwich from this place before our only option is a mutant meat sandwich from Amazon grown in a laboratory for 2$ a month for eternity.”
“Love my experience every single time I come to we got the juice. Atmosphere is always top notch! Sandwiches are delicious and juices are the best! Please stop in and get yourself a juice or sandwich for lunch you won't be disappointed!”
“Laid back atmosphere with good music and a good selection of brews. I went on $5 draft Monday and that is a great value. Got the Kaaterskill IPA and the red IPA (can't remember the name), sampled the Juniper Ridge and ended up leaving with a 4 pack of it. Many restaurants within walking distance as well so you don't have to go far to get a good meal after your visit”
“Dragon stout ice cream in a waffle bowl. Wow. I love their icecream especially the Caribbean flavors. All ice cream meticulously blend and crafted by the owner Simone. Trust me that dragon stout blew me away.”
“I should not have chosen a pasta dish - it is clearly not there forté.I'll be back to try sonething else.Parking: Prepare to spend some quality time in your car as you search for parking.”
“Everything here was delicious ! From the hot dog to the gyro to the Philly cheese steak and fries was fresh portions were perfect! The ice cream was creamy, brownie sundae was delicious,! service was quick and and friendly we will be back again for sure !”
“Exactly right! Ate delicious, interesting food in a beautiful space with excellent service. Don't be fooled by the ubiquitousness of flourless chocolate cake; it was done perfectly. Thank you, Clare and the Runa team!”
“really good restaurant in an area where these are a few and far between. The chef balances, creativity, seasonality, and good straightforward, cooking to create a range of compelling menu items, so much so that it is hard to pick. There is a large and inviting hearth in the kitchen, so we try to choose dishes that were fire kissed. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, and the drinks list has everything you need including a lot of well selected and clean Wines.”
“Naples has the BEST pizza and food hands down! The service is great too. I have never had anything but great tasting food from Touch of Naples and I’ve been going there since they opened. Try the salad pizza - it’s amazing! You can’t go wrong with anything you order here.”
“Got the piggy Mac with brisket, smoked bbq sampler, and fried pickles. All the food was amazing and has a great smoked flavor. Service was great and with a smile, love that they offer first responder discounts as well.”
“We were traveling through on New Year’s Day and looking for coffee. Found this great place open. Warm inviting and what we all need in my opinion. It was a welcome treat to find books on the very topics that had been circling my mind for the last few months right there on the shelves. No judgment just information to help you stay on track and want more. Thank you for opening a place like this. And in such a beautiful spot for discovery. Happy 2024 and keep it up!”
“The food is excellent. It's my favorite pizza in the area. We also really enjoy the spaghetti with meatballs and the Ceasars salad with croutons from the fresh bread they bake on site. Dessert, get the cannolis!”
“My wife and I stopped in for the first time to have dinner last night. The menu had a good variety and the prices were very reasonable. The tacos are served in 3's for $12 and the 3 empanatas for $19. Dos Equis were only $5.50 for a pint. $10 for a Margherita. We will be back there soon to further explore the menu.”
