Hello,
We are looking to have a casual reception for about 70 people. We are not interested in a site/tent/caterer reception, nor a country club reception. Ideally we would prefer a restaurant with a private area AND an outdoor area. Something historic would be nice. We like Barnaby’s Steakhouse in New Paltz, but it has no outdoor area. We also like Tuthillhouse near New Paltz, but fear it might be too expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice restaurant with an outdoor area? Specifically in the New Paltz, Woodstock, Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Rhinebeck, Beacon areas.
Thanks,
Lestat

Roundhouse at Beacon Falls? I’ve heard it’s nice, but I haven’t been there. http://www.roundhousebeacon.com/

Look at the Gunk Haus in Highland/Clintondale, NY. It’s only about 10 minutes Southeast of New Paltz. This is a restaurant in a renovated farm house that has to be circa 1800s, and they kept all of the old charm inside… wide plank wood floors, wood beams, giant fireplace. It also has a gorgeous large patio for outdoor eating and is set amongst an apple orchard (no gardens, but the orchard can be just as pretty) with amazing views of the Shawangunk Mountains and Ridge. You should really see this place in person as their web site does not do it any justice…
