    Our experience at Blackbarn Hudson Valley was wonderful. The 'noise level' comment is because we dined outdoors by the Esopus waterfall! Blackbarn has recently renovated their interior space - you can smell the fresh cedar boards as you walk in the front door. The staff and manager were very friendly, caring, prompt and engaging. The food was very inventive and clearly made with love - something you hope to find, but rarely do. In final, we cannot wait to return to Blackbarn Hudson Valley and look forward to dining at their Madison Square Park location next time we 'hit the City'.

    I had the sea bass and it was delicious. My wife had the pan seared sea scallops with risotto. The scallops were fantastic and the risotto was flavorful and cooked just right. We also had the charcuterie board which is always a favorite of ours. Definitely a great place for a great meal.

    The food was very good. The host/manager had a lot on his plate and did a nice job, as the rest of the staff seemed mostly comprised of new, inexperienced people. They were all friendly, so that makes up for a lot. The food was quite slow coming out of the kitchen. I’m sure it’ll all improve with time and experience. I would go back. Great view of the waterfall.

    We were looking forward to a nice Saturday brunch and it was the first red flag when I asked the waitress how she was doing and she said "tired." She was completely unfamiliar with their menu. Like we ordered an orange soda for my son and she told me they didn't carry that. I had to show her on the menu and she just said she had never seen that before. I certainly shouldn't been surprised when she didn't get my order right. then had to ask twice for a second glass of wine. Mind that there were only like 5 tables occupied in the entire restaurant at that point. When she argued with my that they couldn't make what I ordered, I asked to talk to a manager. He did nothing to make it right. I was flabbergasted with the service. It was sad because the food we received was really good and the patio view was fantastic.

    Beautiful restaurant on the Esoup creek, in Saugerties. About 1.5 miles off NYS Thruway. It has cozy bar, huge main dining room with stone fireplace and vaulted ceiling. Covered deck has nice view of the falls. We had black mission fig pizza, wild mushroom toast & maine lobster rolls all were amazing.service was very good even though they were very busy. We can’t wait to return!

    We had a delicious meal at the Blackburn HV. We started with the wild mushroom toast which was outstanding. For entrees I had the grilled summer squash salad and I added shrimp. It was so delicious. My husband had the ribs and they were excellent. We had the special gelato pistachio sandwich and the berry zabaglione and both were delicious. This restaurant is beautiful. It is right on the creek by the waterfall and the views are amazing. The service was excellent. I am so glad we found this beautiful place and can't wait to go again.

    We came for a late lunch on a Saturday and it was fairly empty inside. The staff seemed new and slightly confused. It took a long time for someone to seat us (even though the tables were 3/4 empty), a long time to take our order (we had to ask for a waitress), at the end of the meal, they gave us someone else's check and credit cards by mistake. It's a beautiful setting and the food itself was good.

    The Black Barn HV is located in a beautiful setting. The food was mostly very good. We had the asparagus/quinoa salad which was delicious, my husband had the crispy chicken -- also very good. I had the vegan pasta which was just ok. The dessert was delicious and creatively presented (baklava cheesecake). All in all it was very good.

    Food was fabulous. Nicely presented. Most of the chairs hurt my back. Only a few chairs in whole dining room have backs with fabric instead of hard wood. Likely we will go back for food. We went midday on a Saturday. Expected lunch menu. Brunch was being served. Did find something good to order. Want to try lunch someday.

    Clearly an improvement over previous restaurant at this site. Ambience indoors warmer and more inviting. Patio same, and good if you are on the perimeter seated at a table nearest the water, otherwise all the charm of a metal storage unit echoing and magnifying the sound of the waterfall. 3 medium scallops for $43? Your brought the NYC prices and plating with you. In fairness, you did foreshadow that in the restaurant’s name. Barely more than tablespoon of foil gras? C’mon. Service was polite, but hit and run to the next table breathless. So, better overall, , but not so much so and with enough rough spots to keep it from making it to our regular HV restaurant rotation.

    We were a party of nine for brunch, with many different ages and tastes represented. Everyone LOVED their brunch choices; the food was delicious, the ingredients were fresh and the presentation was very attractive. The dining room is beautiful. The service was a tiny bit slow, especially considering there weren't that many tables that were full while we were there but the servers were friendly and personable. The host was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!

    I was seated quickly, and my order was taken quickly. I was glad to see that my food came out quicker than in the past. Service was never slow, but this was a pleasant surprise. The only disappointment I had was the baklava cheesecake. It was a bit disorganized and a little messy.

    We ate here often when it was the Diamond Mills Tavern and we loved it. This was our first visit to the new version. And I think our last. They have taken out all the booths, leaving the dining room quite cavernous, with tables very close together. The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't very interesting or very good. Too bad. It was one of our favorites.

    Thank you for your honest feedback about your recent dining experience with us. We truly value our returning customers and we're grateful for the support you've shown us in the past.

    I was rather disappointed. The plates were absolutely insanely overpriced for no clear reason. The servers were not communicating at all - they'd come in one door, out the other and the next asking us the same question, asking if we wanted anything else after we'd paid the bill. The person who was seemingly the manager was rude, complaining to staff about our being moved to a table more suitable to us with a member in our party with a hearing disability. I would never go back nor suggest this to anyone.

    Disappointing. The service was not what I expected. The staff were overwhelmed - just too many tables for the staff they had on. We were seated and had to ask for our server to come and see us as we had been sitting for at least 15 minutes without anyone attending Toni’s or taking a drink order. Once we ordered, the drinks took 20 minutes to arrive and that was after our food arrived. We had planned on ordering a bottle of wine for the table but server never came back to ask. Staff asked to take out plates before we were done eating. It was all just off. Just sub par service. Food met our expectations but so much of eating out is driven by the service and that dragged our whole experience down. It was also so obvious that they were under staffed - clearly stressed wait staff, you just didn’t want to ask them for anything. Poor management is the problem here, I don’t blame the staff who did the best they could.

    We have been to this establishment a few times before when I’m the Catskills. Today was not what I have come to expect. The service was terrible. The girl was training someone and the trainee was better than the trainer. We asked if there was a kids menu and they said no, but offered Mac and cheese, margarita flat bread or chicken fingers. My 5 year old chose Mac and cheese. The Mac was made (for a child) with sharp cheddar. My son didn’t care for it. No big deal right? I got the bill for a 17.00 bowl of Mac and cheese. Crazy! What really gets me is how you can be an establishment without a kids menu! Never again!

    I always dine at Blackbarn in NYC. This Hudson outpost is excellent. A beautiful setting by the water. Great menu selection with reasonable prices. The lobster roll was tasty and the potato chips were a winner. My wife had the grilled asparagus salad with salmon. It was a generous and delicious dish. Go dine there. You won’t be disappointed

    I came with my family to celebrate Father's Day brunch, which was my second time dining at Blackbarn Hudson Valley. The weather was nice enough to sit outside which meant we could enjoy the lovely view! I loved that the umbrellas provided enough cover from the sun. The food was wonderful! I loved the asparagus salad with roasted salmon. We shared the cornflake french toast which all of us loved. Yet another great meal at Blackbarn! I would have loved the option to get the charcuterie and/or mini baked goods basket that was offered with the Mother's Day brunch though!
