Angela RoseWe went to Painter’s Tavern with our baby and were greeted right away with warm smiles! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, which made us feel really comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious. It was fresh, flavorful, and there were so many yummy options to choose from. We started with the nachos as an appetizer (thankfully we got the half order!) and they were huge and so good. The place was clean, had a fun atmosphere with music, and was very family friendly (yay). Prices were reasonable too. We’ll definitely be coming back!!

Jabez KongMe and my buddy stopped in on the way back to the city after a successful hunting trip up in the Catskills Area. Located in the Village of Cornwall on Hudson, this is a local institution with a lot of history. Jocelyn, the new owner, welcomed us in early even though service wasn't ready until noon. Despite this, the food was served quickly and accurately. Our server was fast and attentive. I ordered the BLT Salmon Sandwich and my buddy ordered the Reuben. We both got the French Onion soup. Food was excellent and fresh, the fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly. The atmosphere itself is of special consideration, I had remarked to Jocelyn how everything was so very well thought out, and the pieces she lovingly displayed were acquired over a period of forty years...it felt as if each piece had a story. There were three dining areas available, and two bars, one having the feel of an old "Speak Easy" with Sex Appeal as Jocelyn herself described it. If you're in the area passing through, a local looking for fun, or a visitor seeing the fall foliage and quaint village, it is worth your time for a stop in, a delicious meal and historical visit. You won't be disappointed.

Travel with WendyPainters Tavern is this enchanting restaurant and Inn in the heart of town for Cornwall on the Hudson. And this past week we enjoyed a lovely dinner here thanks to our new local friends who adore this place. Service was great and the menu quite extensive with a lot of options including locally-sourced foods. We enjoyed the calamari appetizer and a charcuterie board as well as the goat cheese salad and the stuffed pork loin special with gravy and the fried buttermilk chicken sandwich. Also the drinks and wine selections were spot on and season appropriate! The desserts looked amazing but we had no room😳 don’t forget to pet the Painters Bull Dog when you leave. Affordable and delicious options this close to the city is a precious find. 😍
