Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Copake Lake

Excellent and attentive service. Excellent food. The space is very inviting and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back. This restaurant is a gem.

The food was delicious, imaginative and abundant. And the staff was warm and helpful. We can’t wait to go back!

Lovely ambience. Excellent service, very attentive. For was overcooked (prime rib sliders) but juicy. Fried were good. Table was relatively quiet, as requested. We will be back.

We had a lovely dining experience at Artisan, from the warm welcome to the thoughtful finishing touches. The hostess greeted us graciously and offered us a choice of seating. We selected a comfortable banquette, which provided the perfect setting for a relaxing evening. Our server, Avery, was exceptional—professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the evening. We began with delicious bread and cocktails, followed by a wonderful beet salad and Brussels sprouts, which my husband particularly enjoyed. For our entrées, my husband ordered the swordfish, which he loved, while I chose the cioppino. Although it was served in more of a sauce than a traditional broth, the flavors were excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dessert was especially memorable. We ordered the Apple, Bourbon, Brown Butter Tart and We were pleasantly surprised by a thoughtful “Happy Anniversary” message written in chocolate—a charming gesture that made our celebration feel even more special. Artisan offers a wonderful combination of delicious food, attentive service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. We highly recommend it for a date night or special occasion and look forward to returning!

We had an amazing meal at Nines this week. Lovely service, such delicious food, and it is so warm and cozy and just great vibes. We will be back soon!
