The Pond Restaurant

Great first impression upon arrival. Loved the decor. Service was excellent despite a packed house. Food was amazing and the portions were huge! I don't drink, but those that did said it was made properly and not watered down. We live 45 minutes away but definitely worth the drive.

Love this place, come here all the time. Great people, beautiful setting, and great food. You also can’t beat the specials nights and it’s a perfect venue for a special event. Spent a couple new years here and had a blast.

The property is amazing, great views. Came in on burger night and got a burger fries and a beer for $15. One of the best burgers I’ve had, with the bacon jam. it was a hard choice because the other dinners on the menus looked fantastic. Chatted with the co owner, she’s awesome too. Kudos to the chef!!

This eclectic, rustic, cozy restaurant was a hit from beginning to end. Welcoming, warm. The menu was a complete surprise. We expected pub food but were delighted by the upscale choices. This is a delicious place to visit.

Cute, rustic restaurant in the hilly area of Ancram. I had the duck special and my mother had the veal piccata and they were both very tasty. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. It's a nice meal with a nice adventure to get to it!

Love this place! One of our favorites. Staff is amazing and so is the food!

Wednesday burger night is a must! $15 for a quality craft burger, delicious fries, and a beer or wine. Had a delicious meal with the family that didn't break the bank. Fireplace in the dining room was a welcome addition for March weather. Would definitely recommend.

You can't beat this place. Food was excellent +++. Appetizers could be a meal unto itself, very generous. Can't say enough about how impressed we were at the Pond. The staff were very solicitous of our needs. Helpful but never overbearing. Very professional staff. The food is the best you could have. Go there, you'll be amazed as we were.

Very friendly staff, great food

My wife and I stopped by here on the way back from our second home in Copake *cough cough* to Brooklyn. The porterhouse was perfectly cooked and the clam chowder was surprisingly good.

The decor was super cozy; they put us near the fireplace and we just had the most delightful experience....until a gang of feral children ran train on my pet ferrets (sorry, forgot to mention the ferrets) and torched the van so we had no way to get home.

We are now stranded, trying to hitchhike back to Brooklyn. Police don't believe us, the restaurant's management say they're too busy......PLEASE HELP.

A hidden gem! A surprise birthday party for my husband was a hit for all who attended. A great venue for any occasion, large or small. The owners; Paige and Rob are talented, thoughtful and kind. The food was AMAZING! Even the side of roasted vegetables was delicious. You know it’s great when your 7 year old grand daughter unprompted says “this is the best meal I’ve ever had”. The servings were quite generous. What a treasure. If you haven’t been here yet; you will be grateful to dine here next. Even the scenery and drive there is gorgeous.

Great food, staff is very friendly and super attentive. Never once had to ask for another drink, they were always right there as soon as our glasses were empty to ask if we wanted another. Steak was cooked perfectly. Owners are also super friendly and accommodating. 10 out of 5 stars!

Everything we ordered was delicious and was hot. We did takeout and the young lady even delivered our meals to our vehicle. The lobster macaroni and cheese was amazing. We will definitely be back....

Every bite of everything we ate was spectacular! The menu is wideranging and distinctive, every offering a feast of flavors. We especially loved the beer-battered scallops; the batter was buttery and flaky, not hard and crusty, and the scallops and dip perfect and delectable. What a chef! Good selection of accompanying drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere with a lovely waitstaff.

What a great place in the country to have dinner. Atmosphere is very rustic, which we love. The area is beautiful and the food and restaurant staff was awesome! Definitely a keeper! We'll be back.

We had my parents 50th wedding anniversary here and it was a wonderful event. The staff were amazing and the food was excellent. The owners were so easy to work with during the planning process. The event room here is just beautiful. I would highly recommend The Pond to everyone. My family and I will definitely be returning here for dinners.

We were 2 couples we had reservations which were needed.All the appetizers were hot. Salads were fresh and Prime Rib was fantastic the other choices 😋 👌 👏 🙌

First time there. Drove an hour with friends on their recommendation, but was weary of driving that far to eat. OMG was so worth the drive! How good was it? I waited until my wife went to the store today, heated up the leftovers, and ate them all so I wouldn't have to share them. Yes I'm in trouble but was so worth being in the dog house for a day.

Excellent food. Cozy atmosphere

Excellent meal! Prices reasonable for the portion size. Service staff pleasant, efficiency with a smile best describes our waitress. Will definitely go again and again!
