The Tavern at Diamond Mills

Our time at Blackbarn Hudson Valley was fantastic. We dined outdoors next to the Esopus waterfall, hence the 'noise level' comment. The interior space has been recently renovated, and you can smell the fresh cedar boards as you enter through the front door. The staff and manager were extremely friendly, attentive, and engaging. The food was creative and clearly prepared with love, a rare find. We can't wait to come back to Blackbarn Hudson Valley and are excited to try their Madison Square Park location next time we visit the City.

I ordered the sea bass and it was delicious. My wife opted for the pan seared sea scallops with risotto. The scallops were amazing and the risotto was flavorful and perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed the charcuterie board, which is always a favorite of ours. Overall, a fantastic place for a delicious meal.

The food at this restaurant was excellent. The host/manager seemed very busy, but still did a great job, even though the rest of the staff appeared to be new and inexperienced. Despite this, they were all friendly, which made up for any shortcomings. The service was a bit slow, but I believe things will get better with more time and practice. I would definitely return, especially for the amazing view of the waterfall.

We were looking forward to a nice Saturday brunch and it was the first red flag when I asked the waitress how she was doing and she said tired. She was completely unfamiliar with their menu. Like we ordered an orange soda for my son and she told me they didn 't carry that. I had to show her on the menu and she just said she had never seen that before. I certainly shouldn 't been surprised when she didn 't get my order right. then had to ask twice for a second glass of wine. Mind that there were only like 5 tables occupied in the entire restaurant at that point. When she argued with my that they couldn 't make what I ordered, I asked to talk to a manager. He did nothing to make it right. I was flabbergasted with the service. It was sad because the food we received was really good and the patio view was fantastic.

Beautiful restaurant on the Esoup creek, in Saugerties. About 1.5 miles off NYS Thruway. It has cozy bar, huge main dining room with stone fireplace and vaulted ceiling. Covered deck has nice view of the falls. We had black mission fig pizza, wild mushroom toast maine lobster rolls all were amazing.service was very good even though they were very busy. We can’t wait to return!
