Creekside — Restaurant in Town of Catskill

Today I was dining at Creekside with with my friends, Tina and Rocco, when the sky turned dark, the winds blew, trees lost their limbs, the umbrella flew away, hitting a woman in the back. Plates flew everywhere. People paniced and ran inside. It was momentary chaos. In minutes they were addressing many conserns. People all were askes to put on their masks and they all complied, once seated, you're allowed to remove it. We waited over 30 minutes for our mango margaritas but that included the time the worst of the storm was passing. Everyone was ruAfter we asked for our drinks, post storm and now seated inside, the waitress, who was very attentive, before, during and after the storm, brought us the 3 large drinks, in addition to two plastic cups full of Mango Margaritas, they were delicious!!! The food came out within minutes and that was also delicious. The storm passed as we ate and then we were able to get back in the boat and return to the docks in Hudson. Mother Nature decided to show her a** but the owner and staff there when the storm was at it's peak, getting people inside to safety, actually provided us with masks to be able to enter during the storm! The food was great! The service was amazing and althought we waited a half hour for our drinks it was so worth the wait!!! They were busy picking up tree limbs, umbrellas, chairs and plates from all over. They were all involved and worked well as a team. I will be returning there as soon as possible! It was an overall great experience!!! Suze T. - New...

I have been a chef for 30+ years, and I have never been compelled to write a review for a restaurant ever.... until now. I will start off by saying that some of the menu offerings were the most unique and interesting items I have ever seen. I was definitely intrigued by many of the options.

My fiance and I had the mandarin orange salad and seafood bisque respectively. Her salad was delicious and the sesame ginger dressing was on point. I had to seafood bisque. Most places pawn off a seafood chowder or cream soup as a bisque, but this was actually a TRUE bisque that was full of seafood and incredibly flavorful.

Next she had the lobster ravioli, which had extra lobster meat piled on top of the perfectly cooked, creamy and exquisite ravioli. I had the Scallops Picatta, which had a mango salsa (other than that not being what a Picatta is, which would be my only and minute knock on the menu). The scallops were seared to exactly how they should be. The mango salsa was full of flavors that went surprisingly well with the scallops. The jasmine rice was presented in a thimble formation, that was also cooked as it should. The vegetable that came with it was green beans sauteed in butter that were done with just the right amount of crispness.

My sincere compliments to the Chef, his line and all involved in this...

After kayaking from Dutchman’s Landing our group went to Creekside for dinner. It was a rainy Saturday in August at 4:30 as they opened. We were seated at a large table for our group of eight. The room is white sheetrock with nothing on the walls. The tiled floor doesn’t help with how loud the room is. They need some acoustical tiles or something to help with the noise issue. What Creekside lacks in ambiance it makes up for in the great service we had and the food. I would think many people eat outside in the summer so the ambiance isn’t an issue. The large glass windows give a good view of Catskill Creek.

We all had drinks (different beers and some tequila drinks) from a good drink menu. There are a dozen craft draft beers to pick from. I had a margarita and my wife had the Spicy Mango Espolon Tequila. My wife and I shared a crispy chicken sandwich and we both had salads. Everyone in our group...
