The Catskills Restaurant Reviews

Although Catskill cuisine used to be a contradiction in terms, regional restaurants are changing their reputations, largely thanks to the not-so-far-away Culinary Institute of America. Many CIA students decide to settle in the area after graduation and open restaurants showcasing their skills. Combined with a movement to use fresh, local produce and farm products, the result is a plethora of superb dining choices. Most of the best restaurants are in areas that draw New York City money; Windham, Woodstock, and the Hunter area all cater to an upscale clientele, although smaller, more remote towns and villages yield pleasant surprises. Dining in the region remains a casual experience, and few people dress for dinner.
