Excellent venue for a cozy meal with friends who like good food, pleasant surroundings and easy on the ears. I haven’t been in a while and I would say it may become a new favorite for dining out in Beacon.

What a wonderful experience. The food was beyond our expectations . The short rib special really was exceptional. Our server was accommodating and patient for my picky wife. The restaurant was really hopping. Can’t wait to go back.

Dining at Kips Tavern is a very nice experience. The staff is quite friendly and attentive and it is wonderful having this restaurant in our town. The menu is fine American tavern food, last night we had the French Onion Soup, very good, not salty which is always an issue; chopped salad was very good, fresh and with tasty dressing; a smash burger (which I doubt usually have), it was very good-not overcooked and crisp french fries. For beverages I had a bourbon manhattan, up. It was very good. My wife had the special cocktail, I can't remember the ingredients, but she enjoyed it.

Catamount Restaurant is the perfect setting for a romantic dinner for two, a family dinner, or meeting friends for a nice meal and a drink. The hostess, wait staff and bar tenders are all great! Very pleasant and inviting experience in an absolutely gorgeous setting. And the food and drinks are wonderful, too!

Lovely restaurant in great setting! Traditional French decor. Beautiful place settings. Waiter (the only staff seen all evening) was exceptional. Timing, recommendations, presentation, clearing all superb. So much for the details. The food was terrific and decently priced for a quality, upscale menu. In addition to the standard day's menu we were offered as specials 1 additional appetizer and 5 entrees. ( We were too full to consider or observe the dessert menu. I had chicken breast stuffed with mushrooms, cheese and more. MY wife had crab stuffed Sole. Onion soup was dreamy and yellow beet salad couldn't be beaten ABSOLUTELY DO EAT HERE!!!!!
