   The host was extremely rude, then we had to wait 25 minutes until we asked another waiter where our waiter was and he,she, they, finally came over with major attitude. If you want to charge NYC prices, then you need to be prepared to have the staff who knows what they’re doing with less attitude. The food was mediocre. The waterfall was beautiful.

   Went for Sunday brunch, table of 7. Service was great, very attentive and answered all of our questions. Chicken and Waffles really good. Bloody Mary's loaded and very good. Everyone loved their food choices. Prices standard for quality eats.

   We sat outside over looking the Hudson and the lovely bridge that crosses it. The ambience could not have been more stunning. Though the service was slow, our food was all excellent. We started with braise octopus, oysters on the half shell and brussel sprouts. The pairing the the octopus on a bed of yummy humus with aioli and spinach was excellent. The shaved horseradish on the oyster was a unique and perfect touch. The BBQ beef ribs were delicious. The one drawback was the smothered kale Caesar salad with ONLY THREE shrimp ( added $13 charge!!). We will return here for a meal when we travel back to this area.

    This was an amazing experience! The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the location is unlike anything else! The service was outstanding— our server was so attentive and wonderful. The food was out of this world. The special Mother’s Day menu was five FULL size courses plus mimosas and bloody Mary’s! The salmon was the best I have ever had! The pastries, bread pudding, Johnny cakes, and crab cakes were so delicious! We loved it and will be coming back again soon!!! Thank you!!
    

    BLACKBARN Hudson ValleyResponded on May 16, 2023Thank you so much, Kris! We are so glad you enjoyed the Mother's Day five course menu and that the service was excellent. I agree - love the salmon! We are thrilled to hear you had such a great experience and we look forward to having you dine with us again soon!

    Went here for Mother's Day. After there was a mix up with who was actually serving our table, everything else was amazing. The view and weather were perfect. The food was absolutely amazing (and not bland) Our server was top notch even though we were not his table. The only ding was the wait between courses. But again, i must say it was delectable all around! Well done
    

    BLACKBARN Hudson ValleyResponded on May 16, 2023Thank you for your review, Michael! We are so glad you had a wonderful experience on Mother's Day. Sorry for the mix up, but very happy it all ended well and you enjoyed the food and service. Thank you so much for choosing us for such a special celebration. We hope to see you again soon!

    What an amazing restaurant for a lifetime celebration! We celebrated my graduation dinner here, and experienced a truly sensationally scenic overlook of the Esopus Falls was befitting for the occassion. Inspiring reflection of a life changing milestone, while delighting in some of the most flavorful and fine foods; delicious! The wine selection was great and our server was very friendly and engaging. Thank you for helping me celebrate! It was perfect, and I hope to be back in the near future.

    Everything we ordered was delicious. From the fresh oysters, to the crab cake and octopus starters. I had the scallops w risotto as my main - soooooo good! My husband had the burger and said it was also tasty. Would highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area.
    

    BLACKBARN Hudson ValleyResponded on May 16, 2023Thank you for your review! Chef Marcos does a phenomenal job with our seafood dishes - those are some of our most popular dishes. We appreciate you dining with us and sharing your experience. We look forward to having you back with us again!

    We had an amazing waitress. The reason it was loud is because we sat outside by the waterfall. Worth every loud sound . We celebrated our anniversary and what a perfect place. Husband had the octopus appetizer and sea bass for dinner. I had the bbq ribs. Dessert was some lovely chocolate cake and we had bread pudding. Highly recommend this place. We were outside but the inside was lovely too you won’t go wrong.
    

    BLACKBARN Hudson ValleyResponded on May 16, 2023Hi Michael! Thank you so much for the lovely review, and so glad you enjoyed celebrating your anniversary with us. The terrace overlooking the waterfall is an amazing way to dine with us. We appreciate you sharing your experience and the dishes you enjoyed, and recommending us to other diners. Thanks again and we look forward to having you back in the future!

    Hudson valley’s best kept secret. So unpretentiously perfect in every way. Equal parts romantic, rustic, fun, spacious- and the food was just the right amount of everything. Ssshhh. Don’t tell anyone. Keep it to yourself.

    We thoroughly enjoyed your brunch! Great food and ambiance. We will absolutely come again, even though it is almost an hour drive for us. One suggestion…my wife had the bacon and egg burger and she raves about it, except for the bun. It did not hold up at all. It got soggy very quickly.

    Apps are very good. My entree short rib was on point. My wife’s duck is what brought the rating down. Almost sent it back but then again we never send anything back. We will give it another try.

    No real ambiance. Took a long time to get our drinks. The food was bland, portions small, and not a very good value. Waitress was attentive but there was definitely a bar issue causing the drink delay. Great setting but marginal food. They need to get more competitive with other Hudson Valley restaurant food to be more successful.

    Decidedly underwhelming. No Christmas food options on Christmas Day. Loads of old people in wheelchairs. Felt like a hotel conference event. Zero atmosphere. Service was average. Also ran out of food. Would never go back.

    Thanksgiving menu: everything was perfect and tasty until the fourth course- I picked the rib eye steak - I dont know what happened though the steak was barely edible, my cook skills tell me it was cooked frozen hence no flavor no medium rare. The taste was very bad. I never leave food uneaten this way. The steak left me with nausea and I had to shorten my stay. Again things appetizers and first courses were great until that course. Amazing roasted butternut bisque!
