Good Night

Great! Asian fusion in a glamorous setting; look out for the peachy green marble tables. Sparkly vibe with happy people. Great cocktails for drinkers and non-drinkers. Delish! https://www.goodnightwoodstock.com/

Pretty To Think So
Rhinebeck
It's a small place with delicious food, great original cocktails, fantastic squash bread with miso butter, and an eclectic crowd. Old, stodgy professors from Bard and young and not-so-young women showing off their underwear in slinky dresses that don't fit well. The food is good enough so you don't have to watch. Read the menu before making a reservation, it's not to everyone's taste! https://www.prettytothink.so/
Red Onion
Saugerties
Continental with reliable, good food. Comfortable and warm environment, with a fresh old-world feeling. Glowy low lights. Think lamb, steak and Caesar salad. https://www.redonionrestaurant.com/
Shandaken Inn
Shandaken
Varied offerings throughout the week. Take a chance! https://www.shandakeninn.com/the-clubhouse-restaurant-bar/
Shelter
Woodstock
Barbecue, festive. It is the kind of place where you could meet someone fun while waiting in line for the bathroom. Which you will be. https://www.shelterwoodstock.com/
Silvia
Woodstock
Haute couture upstate fare! Very coveted, but who cares? Be prepared, it is expensive. https://www.silviawoodstockny.com/
Wildflower Farms
Gardiner
This is a beautiful place. The restaurant is a beautiful, well-styled spot, which you might find in your inflight magazine on your way to New York. The food is good but overrated. There is a great outdoor space to sip a cocktail by the fire and have a burger. It's a luscious green spot. Their gift shop is easy not to spend money in as they sell about three things. https://aubergeresorts.com/wildflower-farms/?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=Yext
