Restaurants near Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge

Excellent service, will be attending numerous dinners here this winter. Food generally very good, but extremely disappointed in the lamb entrée. Even though there was an an up charge, which was fine, the size of the lamb was two bites at best and was quite fatty. Others in my party who got the other beef dish and who probably had five times as much meat felt so bad they shared their entree with me. Appetizers were delicious.

Remember theses are students doing everything! Gordon Ramsey isn’t in the kitchen telling them how to make the food. Are there some minor gaffes? Sure but it’s delightful to be part of their training process. The food is excellent, the wine pairing lovely. We enjoyed interacting with our servers and learning about their paths to the CIA. We’re already planning a summer visit.

I met my brother and his wife for lunch and everything was perfectly done and delicious. Service was also very attentive and accommodating. I have eaten at all 3 CIA restaurants and take for granted the luxury of being able to do so given I live in Dutchess County. My brother and his wife, on the other hand, had never been to the CIA restaurants given that they live across the river and a fair distance from the CIA campus. They were extremely pleased with all of the lunch entree options, as well as, the food and service. We plan on going back soon so they can experience another of the CIA restaurants. Winter Prix Fixe is an amazing opportunity to experience delicious food for a reduced cost. They can't wait to go back!

Food was excellent and the service spectacular. Highly recommend.

Excellent find. Extensive menu. Great prices. Service was perfect, not rushing us through lunch. Definitely recommending to family & friends.
