Dinner was amazing as usual. My husband loves the stroganoff, one of his favorites. We changed it up and got the satay shrimp for an appetizer. I got the duck. I'm afraid Tim has ruined me getting duck anywhere else. His is so good none others compare. Wow! Can't wait to go back.

A hidden gem in the Ulster County dining experience. Seven of us had Christmas Eve dinner here- our 3rd year in a row. Two of us ordered from the daily specials menu and both dishes, one a Spatzle and one a Jambalaya got good reviews. Two of us had the Chicken Piccata and we are still talking about how good it was. Reservations suggested. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed

The steak is perfect! My wife and I came here for date night and had a great time. The stone work and old timber’s are beautiful, the service was spot on, great wine selection, and the food is sooo delicious! And when the check came I was surprised by how reasonable the price was. We’ll be back!

The beef stroganoff is exceptional. I couldn't stop raving about it for days. I will be getting takeout for other family members (outside of the area), so they can enjoy it too! Looking forward to my next visit

The building is historic and nicely appointed. The food was fresh, hot and excellent. Staff was friendly and courteous.

If you are looking for glitz, lots of shiny chrome and food that is served in just a few minutes on a big plate with little portions and pretty looking sprinkles and designs, then go to NYC - this place is not for you! At the Reservoir Inn you get 1) Tim (owner/Chef), 2) Karen (bartender, waitress, busboy, cashier and host - she may do the dishes, too), 3) old inn atmosphere, 4) good food with a take home container as the portions are huge, and 5) great prices unlike in nearby Woodstock. Everything is cooked to order and is worth the wait. Yesterday, we had a party there attended by 40 friends. The buffet was ready upon arrival, bar was open and service was as expected. Welcome to the Reservoir Inn, a fond memory of what going out to dinner was like in those slower, more relaxed times.
