Reviews for Fernwood in Palenville, NY
Absolutely fantastic dining experience! Very comfortable cozy location. Owner is usually present and will make you feel like you... are part of the family. A little hidden gem worth seeking out. Read more
An off the beaten path gem with a unique old-fashioned style amid beautiful scenery, featuring authentic homemade Italian... cuisine. Emil (owner) runs a tight ship but maintains a warm and inviting atmosphere, often serving tables himself and makingrounds to all the tables to converse with guests. Special thanks to Amy for making us feel at home from the moment we walkedin. Easily the best shrimp scampi I have ever had (and intend to have again). Read more
Ok food great sites cute restaurant on the inside
First impressions. The location is a bit isolated, but pretty darn cool nonetheless. It is located next to a big stream and... there is an awesome, massive-size deck with tables overlooking the water - would be a super-cool place to stop by with a largegroup for drinks. As we walked towards the door, the porch had outdoor seating and is roomy and welcoming. The customersappeared to be a mix of tourists and locals, all of whom were very friendly and happy to be there. On the inside, the characterof the circa 1800's building is most charming. Gorgeous mirrors, antique furniture, and pictures that transport you back to thehey-day of the building. The inside bar area is full of character, well equipped and quite extensive. On to the food. I ordereda tortellini soup as an appetizer and a cheese and spinach filled ravioli for the main course. Culinary explosion!!!! The pastais hand made in this place. The ingredients are sourced from local farms and the taste is incredible. Tomatoes, lettuce,carrots, cheese, on and on. The dressing was a homemade recipe the complimented the freshness of the salad. The soup was creamyand the homemade pasta was amazing. The ravioli came out and it was the best i've ever had. Smothered in a rich, creamy sauce,homemade pasta and locally sourced cheese. Dayumn! The portion sizes were perfect too. You are able to enjoy all your food andavoid the hangover afterwards. The prices were very reasonable and if they were in a larger city, could easily charge more andget away with it. We came back two nights later and had seafood. Ditto on the seafood review. Too much to say. ps Get the pie! Fresh, locally sourced, berries give the dessert a truly unique flavor. Read more

Went to dinner last night and what a hidden jewel. The services was top notch. The food was flavorful, we both had the special... which was the lasagna. For appetizers he had stuffed mushrooms and I had the special Butternut squash soup. Everything tastedwonderful. We have lived in Palenville for several years and it was our first trip but not last.

If you're looking for traditional fayre with a rustic touch, then The Fernwood Restaurant is your place. Situated in Palenville,... it is a little off the beaten track, but well worth the visit. You will experience a wonderful overall experience. We willdefinitely be back. Ambience is outstanding, perfect for a romantic meal. The starter and main menu is varied and the dessertmenu is to die for, Jenny's fruit pies are a real culinary experience. So much choice that we will definitely be going back.Beautiful scenery and lovely friendly staff. The regular customers are warm, friendly and after a couple of hours in theircompany, you will feel like you have lived there all your life. My wife and I had dined in various restaurants throughout our 3week stay in New York State and always, we were drawn back to the Fernwood. Thank you so much.
