Binnekill Square - Margaretville

Let me balance out these outrageous ratings real quick... 1. Food? DELICIOUS. 2. Service? INCREDIBLE. 3. Ambience? UNIQUE. This restaurant is severely understaffed and clearly people do not understand that. Our waitress doubled as the hostess, there was one bus boy, a second waitress, and the bartender who also turned into a waitress later in the night. These ladies (and the man were working their butts off to make sure everyone was happy. I didn't catch either waitresses names but they were the sweetest and most accommodating people ever. We got seated right outside next the water and bridge with adorable ducks floating on the river. It was such pretty scenery. Whoever is complaining about the length of the experience clearly just has bad company with them and cannot enjoy the beauty of nature. We had an amazing time eating here. The vegetarian chili was superb, and the chocolate mousse cake with the homemade ice cream? Nothing will ever compare. Please go here and support the local business. If you want your food served quickly then go to Burger King. (There was also an incredibly rude woman sitting behind us who complained about her food and our waitress was nothing but kind to her. If her review comes up, simply ignore it. The waitress did everything in her power to make her happy. Including giving her a new plate free of charge and apologizing profusely.

Non-existent service. We made a reservation for 7:30. Forty-five minutes later no one had even spoken to us, much less taken a drink or food order. There was not even water at the table. We left. As no other place was open in town at that hour, we purchased food at the adjacent supermarket for our dinner. We will not be returning to Binnekill Tavern. Service: Dine in

Some of the worst service I 've ever received. Upon arrival we were yelled at by the hostess for booking on OpenTable because apparently they don 't give you the table you request (out vs in). She begrudgingly sat us outside anyway. Hey, OpenTable works for other restaurants so that 's kinda on you, lady. Not our problem. We were then served lukewarm water by the other hostess. After about 15 minutes our server finally took our drink order. She took our whole entire appetizer and dinner order as well since we 'd been there so long already. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The server placed the crab cakes down and said bang, bang. Bang, bang which was confusing at best. The bang bang shrimp finally came along with my watery chili covered in GRATED CHEESE. Weird. And no spoon. I felt bad for the server at that point so I let it go and just ate it with a fork. Underwhelming. Our check took a solid 25 minutes. We finally asked the host for it but she ignored us. So I raised my voice and asked a second time to make sure she heard us. The taller host should really not be in customer service. She was a b supreme. The server and shorter host were super nice. It was just ridiculous. Probably won 't go back.

The waitress incorrectly informed us that the chile was mildly spicy but it was the spiciest chili that we ever tasted! The waitress also kept pressing the children to order dessert after we informed her that we had cake and ice cream waiting for us at home Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
