Catskills
One of the finest restaurant in the Catskills, this renovated farmhouse approximately 9 miles from Phoenicia has been promoting local farm-to-table dining for more than a decade. The menu changes daily, although the braised beef short ribs are a permanent fixture.
As well as the main dining room, there's also the cozier bar hung with trophy deer heads.
