The Prospect - Town of Hunter

Enjoyed a birthday dinner for my husband at Prospect during our weekend in the Catskills. The atmosphere is welcoming and warm and food is delicious. When I mentioned I am vegan, our waitress made sure to point out the various vegan mains and sides available, even providing a vegan delicious dessert option. Highly recommend for a quiet Catskills dinner.

Cozy restaurant with unique dishes. Attentive service. A tad pricey.

Good vibes. Congenial staff. Food is whatever. The portions weren’t bad in my opinion. However, the quality of the food is where I’m docking points. The gnocchetti ‘Al Tocco’ was bitter and unpleasant. The Prospect Burger tasted like the restaurant sourced their burger patties from the grocery frozen section. The sourdough bread wasn’t free, but it was worth it. The winter citrus salad was the best part of my meal. The cocktails were small considering the price, but otherwise not much else to complain about. I wish this restaurant was better. My stay at Scribner’s lodge was wonderful. It just sucks that this is the restaurant that’s attached to the lodge.

I recently dined at Prospect Restaurant during my 3-day stay at Scribner's Lodge in the Catskills, and unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. The service was really lacking; the staff seemed super confused at every course, which made the evening frustrating. The cost was surprisingly high for what we received, and to make matters worse, they were out of not just one, but two dishes on their already limited menu. As a vegetarian, it was especially challenging to find suitable options, and while the food we did manage to order was good, it fell short of being great. On a positive note, my husband enjoyed the burger. We had a $100 credit towards the restaurant which softened the blow a bit, but if I had been paying full price for the meal, I would have been more disappointed with the overall experience.

We’ve been to this restaurant a dozen of times since they opened. The place is beautiful and the vibe is great, however their recent switch in menu and increase in prices is disappointing. The Mexican American menu is decent, but the quality doesn’t match the price. The chicken for $50 and salmon for $55 is just a bit much. It was good, not great, and definitely nowhere near to quality you’d expect to justify such pricing. Just regular dishes you can get in other nice places in the Catskills. I must say all dishes here also came barely warm. I’ve always loved Prospect and how they used seasonal ingredients in their creative cuisine, the variety of pasta options and deserts, all of that was gone today and we will definitely miss it.
