Good food and service. The property and atmosphere need work. Loud cafeteria like environment.Sorry staff, but tell your boss

Pretty good, I thought the menu seemed somewhat limited for pub food options like sandwiches and burgers, but everything tasted good and the rooftop dining area was nice, and the staff was pleasant.Would go back if I'm in the area again.

90° day and the only place open is the rooftop?? I understand being understaffed but you could have had one room open downstairs in the air-conditioning. Poor choice. Won't be going back.

Delish steak sandwich! Super service! Wonderful!

The food was disappointing.We ordered the Sesame Cauliflower Bites as an appetizer. Basically cooked cauliflower smothered with a sweet sauce with some sesame seeds thrown on top. The menu said, "panko-breaded", but no panko was detected.The Nachos were mediocre at best - the queso seemed to be Velveeta and the guacamole was some sort of flavorless mush. The pasta for the kids was basic macaroni, one with a basic cheese sauce, the other a basic red sauce. I guess that was okay for the kids. The winning dish was a green salad with roast pineapple and blueberries. Actually, not bad.The most redeeming quality of the restaurant is the rooftop dining, which seemed quite popular on this unusually pleasant spring evening. Great view of the sunset over the Catskills.

Food and service has always been excellent when I've eaten here. I love the rooftop dining.

It was an extremely busy day, so I found the Front Street Tavern. I sat at the bar, and the environment was good; the bartender was very responsive. She suggested the Bang Bang Shrimp. I selected one of their specials, sword fish with asparagus. They had no dark beers, which wasn't great. I got it . IPAs are popular, but get some stouts or porters!!! I digress, the bang bang shrimp (pictured) had a LOT of sauce on it, good taste but too much. The shrimp was also overcooked. Next came the swordfish... I could taste the grill on the asparagus, but nothing else, I added salt. There was a sauce on the plate (pictured), but it didn't really go well with anything on the plate. The swordfish was way overcooked and rubbery. Then, the potatoes were grainy. The bartender asked me my opinion, and I told her, so she gave me a free desert. The ice-cream was good, the cookie it was on was good, together not so much. Then, after it was all done $69 without the desert. I have been here before for lunch, it was much better so I am going with an off night. All of the ingredients were there for an amazing meal, just poorly executed. I might try again, probably not though. Too much for too little.

One of the best restaurants I've eaten in in the area. Food was yummy, not too salty. Portions were very generous.The waitress was super attentive and sweet. Clean, nice room, food came out pretty fast for Upstate. It was a great experience.1 thing I think they should change is not to put the condiments on the fried calamari. It was soaked and too sweet. Need to be in on the side. Also all the desert items are chocolate or cheese cake. Add something like fruit pie or regular cake

Friendly service. No small portions here. Very nice decor and atmosphere. Lobster ravioli is a solid dinner option !!!

The FST was recommended to me by a friend. My family dined there this evening and enjoyed one of the best meals we have ever had. From appetizers to entrees, every course was absolutely superb. All of that combined with the warm and welcoming staff, made for a truly delightful dining experience. Well done, Front Street Tavern! We will be back!
