Restaurants near Blue Willow Guesthouse

My family had an absolutely phenomenal fine dining experience at The American Bounty Restaurant on The Culinary Instutute of America's Hyde Park Campus. The ambiance was nice. The service was great. And, the food surpassed our expectations. A few things to keep in mind is that any of the four restaurants on campus are utilized as a part of the student's schooling. Bring a non cash form of payment. Tips are not it accepted due to regulations however a 20% service fee is added to your bill which goes into a scholarship fund for students. Plan on an hour and a half to two hour dining experience. Savor the time spent with your friends or family and each bite of food.

The food at Caterina de Medici was fantastic. Definitely try the pizza bianca. We'll certainly be back to try more of their delicious cuisine.

We came for our wedding anniversary, arriving early on a Friday around 5pm. At that hour, the restaurant was quiet and sun-drenched, light streaming through generous windows into a space that manages to feel both airy and elegant. I imagine it transforms into something darker and more intimate as evening settles in, but the brightness suited us just fine. Service was attentive and friendly throughout. No complaints, just not the kind of thing you leave talking about. The food, though, is worth talking about. A smoked salmon burrata appetizer was a genuinely lovely combination, and the golden beet salad was bright and well-composed. Entrees showed real care, seasoned and portioned thoughtfully rather than the aggressive abundance that passes for generosity at lesser places. The pistachio ricotta cake for dessert was the highlight: creative, not too sweet, and exactly the right size to split. Good value for what it is. Ciao Bella is the right answer for a special dinner in New Paltz, elevated without being stiff about it. Not an everyday spot, but exactly the right one when the occasion calls for it.

We had an amazing server - Ben. She was very attentive, friendly and courteous. I had the roasted chicken which was so moist and tasty I couldn’t believe it was chicken. I hope they keep it on the menu.

I had the Salmon and it was delicious! Everyone in our party was very happy with what they had.
