Maggie Mae's — Restaurant in Town of New Paltz

I am furious I went to Maggie Mae's with a friend a few weeks ago for a Saturday night dinner. Dinner was fine, the food was not an issue. One of our friends paid for our meal so my friend and I took $40 each out of my wallet, put it on the table and walked inside to go listen to our friend who was singing and playing guitar. It was only about 10 or 15 minutes later did we realize that we left the money on the table so we went back out there and it was gone. There were no other customers on the patio at all. We looked below. We looked on the grass and checked our pockets. The money was nowhere. The owner Garvin was dismissive he did nothing about it he said he was going to question his staff he might have questioned them he came back here and around nothing was done that night.

I just got off the phone with him because I called to make a reservation and this was eating away at me, I wanted to see if he tried to resolve this issue, but, according to Garvin, there was no issue- he said he trusts his staff implicitly! So I asked well then what could have happened to the money and he put the blame on us. We searched our pockets, turned our pocket books upside down and inside out neither of us had that money so it had to be someone who works in that restaurant. The man was insolent, dismissive and argumentative and when he asked me what I would have liked him to do I said well at the very least buy us a round of drinks and he laughed. Nice way to run a restaurant Garvin with that attitude. I'm surprised you've...

Came with family ( brother in law and my 1 month old ) to enjoy the view and the food, first time at this place recently found it on google. The place was very nice like the pictures HOWEVER I was walking inside to greet someone about asking to be seated outside. A server came out and rudely said can I help you? So politely said I would like to get a table for two outside and she asked me if I had reservations and I said no (online also shows open to public) and she said okay well I have a really large party that just came and I can’t serve you right now. And then I think she recognized the look on my face of like “what the heck” and then proceeds to say if you want I can but it will be a while before I can serve you. Then proceeded to grab menus and while putting the menus down saw my newborn in the stroller and started making comments of how hectic it will get for the baby bc of the amount of people in the party. Very unwelcoming that I stated no it’s okay thank you about 3 times for us to leave and then finally after the fourth time coming from my brother in law we finally said no it’s okay we are leaving thanks.

This is very rude and unprofessional of a company to allow this type of behavior, this could have been approached very differently. I will no longer give this place another chance nor recommended it. If I could give zero...

My partner had a few drinks. He did not find a bourbon based drink on the cocktail menu and asked if an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan could be served. The result was a watered down High C with a hint of bourbon. Understanding that a proper old Fashion was unattainable, he then ordered a double bourbon on the rocks. That was delivered watered down to the point that bourbon was barely distinguishable from either scotch or rye. A third drink was a proper bourbon on the rocks. Obviously, the bar drinks were watered down.

My partner and I shared mozzarella sticks. I had the falafel sandwich, and he had the Dublin Nachos.

The mozzarella sticks were from the freezer, not hand-made as advertised. And the tomato dipping sauce was pre-fabricated, not an authentic tomato basil sauce.

The falafel sandwich was not a sandwich. The falafel balls were well made, but served with a flat pita, not a pocket pita. The sauce was mayonnaise-based, not yogurt-based, and the flavor was a bit flat.

The Dublin Nachos were so named because the chips were made from potatoes not corn, but the spice was creole, not Mexican. The result was neither Irish nor Mexican, but the chef's idea of what tasted good.

In fairness, the lemon sorbet dessert was unusually delicious; served in a stuffed frozen...
