We came on a recommendation. I love food, and I am not picky at all but the menu did not speak to me, the food seemed all over the place and did not follow a theme. The one dish I wanted they said they were out of (it was 5:30pm!), and they told my boyfriend who has celiac disease that... more

My friends and I had a very good dining experience at 36 Main over the weekend. The service was informative and attentive without being overbearing. Cocktails were expertly done and very reasonable in price. One of us had a perfectly made vodka martini filled to the top, another gave the bar staff an original drink recipe and they made it... more

My wife (!) and I got married at the end of August and we had our wedding reception at 36 Main. The service was outstanding starting when Kathy, the owner, sat down with us and brainstormed the menu, decor, and band placement. She put us at ease by paying attention to every detail and exuding calm. We talked concepts, ie:... more

With the Culinary Institute of America in nearby Hyde Park, the Hudson Valley has no shortage of choice in great cuisine. For a restaurant to attract me to return again and again it needs to be special. 36 Main is just such a restaurant. One of my favorite impromptu experiences at 36 Main is to taste my way through the... more

We went to 36 Main on a Wednesday evening and had a great time. My SO had the calamari appetizer and the roasted chicken entree - both were wonderful. He said the roasted chicken tasted like something his Grandma used to make, which is a huge compliment from him! I had the filet entree which was very good, but not... more

After reading all the positive reviews, i was really looking forward to going to 36 Main Street. However, we actually never got to taste the food. My bf and I and another couple had reservations for 7:30. We arrived on time and were told that it would just be a few minutes. We sat at a couch which was at... more

The owner, Kathy , blended creativity, professionalism and warmth to create an exceptional surprise party for my partner! Everything was served with perfect precision and attention to detail. The quality of the food for this large party was no less exceptional than a dinner for two. Kathy created a fabulous menu that catered to even the pickiest of eaters! Her... more

Over the past several seasons, it has been my pleasure to enjoy this new edition to New Paltz. Service is fantastic. The staff makes you want to be there. They possess a strong knowledge base of cuisine and wines. The menu is very diverse. Continually updated and changed to keep you on your toes. (I recommend the Cheese Fondue for... more
