   Overall bad experience- we have been many times and always had wonderful service and food. I know the hotel was throwing a new years party later that evening so I assume the staff and kitchen were preparing. We hardly saw our server, we waiting to order a second round of drinks for quite some time and ended up getting the check before we even had the chance. The food was subpar. Not worth the money. Would definitely suggest the restaurant close early in the future if they are going to shift all of their attention to the event.

The staff was so nice and attentive. The ambiance was beautiful! We drove over an hour to get there and we will definitely be back.

   We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner tonight at our favorite local restaurant. We are so lucky to live in a beautiful county like this! Our server, Samantha did a phenomenal job and was attentive to our needs and extremely personable. My husband does not eat alcohol in his food and she prepared a list of dishes  that had alcohol so that he was aware to avoid them. We started with a beet salad and a Caesar salad both were perfectly seasoned and delicious. Our dinner consisted of filet mignon and scallops which were cooked perfectly.  one of the specials on the menu for dessert was crème brûlée with cinnamon toast crunch and I had to try it. It was great.  This restaurant is a must do if you are in the area don’t miss out!  it also has accommodations for overnight stays which are  perfectly appointed  welcome to the Catskills and the home of the 69 Woodstock festival!

   Wow we came here not knowing what to expect. Food was outstanding and the place is gorgeous. Want to come back during the day to see the grounds. Give it a try. Oh by the way all our steaks were cooked perfectly the way we ordered.

   As always the Eldred Preserve did not disappoint. The duck was the better than ever and the Frenched chicken was great. The staff goes over and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. The only downside is some of the patrons not knowing how to dress which is unfortunate because the restaurant is more upscale. Jeans, baseball caps, gym shorts…… not the place for it.

   Service was lacking. Server needs more training. Portions were small and some items overcooked. Request to sit in main dining room only - the other areas are basic/boring and honestly not what you’re going there for anyway.

   I can’t say that the food was delicious! It was eatable at best. The waiters were very nice and polite and friendly but mixed our table orders ( who ordered well done meat got served medium rare, who ordered decaf cappuccino got served regular cappuccino, etc).

   We had the shrimp & scallop stuffed mushrooms which made a nice start to the brook trout & pork chop. Disturbingly, no effort was made to debone the trout & the menu makes no mention of it. This aside, we enjoyed the meal paired with a nice Argentinian Malbec & finished with the gingerbread cake. If you're in the area, worth a stop for a pleasant meal.
