beardslee castle

absolutely amazing service. we had our wedding there with 150 guests from all over the usa, ireland and england everyone raves about the food and service. lynn the wedding coordinator went above and beyond to make our day amazing our wedding was 3 years ago and people still talk about it! we went for dinner for our anniversary and the food andservicewhere phenomenal!

what a great place!. we visited there on a busy saturday in october with our son, his wife and his in-laws. theservicewas impeccable, and they could not have gone out of their way more for us. even though there was a wedding and a rehearsal dinner going on at the same time, we felt like we were just as important! our food was served hot- our waitress was amazing - everything was just perfect - thanks!

one of the most amazing places i've been. we drove five hours and planned an entire mini vacation just so that we could dine at beardslee castle! worth the drive! we will be returning! our new favorite restaurant. the castle is beautiful, warm, and inviting. the food is melt in your mouth fantastic! theservicewas exceptional, and randy, the owner, came out to meet and talk with us! if you are ever in the area, and even if your not....find your way to beardslee castle!! you will not disappointed.

always fabulous. i've had at least five times to sit down with other eager guests and enjoy the fabulous menu offered at beardslee castle. i enjoyed perfectly-proportioned meals, generous servings of wine, and melt-in-your-mouth homemmade break and spreads. i think theserviceis tikmely, but not rushing, and i think the waitstaff is friendly and eager to please. i highly recommend this facility.

disappointed. the place was busy but no excuses spent 365.00 which 52.00 was tip.servicevery slow sat down a 6pm did not leave until after nine i fell asleep at table. food came to the table at different intervals. my steak was cold and my wife pasta was extremely over cooked did not send it back as we did not want to wait any longer. some the appertizer were burnt . portion extremely small. mandatory tip of 18 % i would not have left 5% do not worry will never return huge disappointment.

consistent, great food.. best overall experience. there is no other restaurant in central ny that makes for a better all-around dining experience than beardslee. i don't go out simply to fill my stomach. i want a great experience in a spot that makes me feel special. the castle is amazing and unique, theserviceis great and the food is delicious. i try to get there at least once each season since the grounds are awesome and each season has it's special treat. in warmer weather we spend time walking around the grounds where the gardens are an endless delight. this past weekend we made the trek for a valentines dinner and loved everything all over again.
two appetizers were surprises... scallops in bacon were not the normal boring variety... two huge scallops (golfball size!) wrapped in thick bacon or pancetta came with greens (arugula?) that were lightly sprinkled with a sweet vinegar. the scallops had a smoky citrus barbecue glaze and a side of grilled pineapple that brought it all together. wife had grilled asparagus that came with paper thin prosciuto and sweet buttery sliced leeks. melt in your mouth! delish! salads are always good/fresh but sometimes we eat only sparingly since thats the least (but still good!) exciting part of the meal. breads were warm and fresh, served with olive spread and hummus. dinner was awesome. wife had the grilled duck breast (again) which came nicely medium rare with mouthwatering raspberry horseradish sauce (beardslee, please post recipe on your site!) and a confetti of 'dry' fruits that aren't really dry as they come warmed with butter and scallions. the duck usually comes with rice but this time had a nice quinoa pilaf with veggies in it. i went with the walnut pork which comes as pork loin that's pounded like a cutlet and breaded (or crusted) with crushed walnuts and breadcrumbs. the pork was perfectly seasoned and moist inside with a great nutty crunch outside and came with an apple chutney that had peppers and gold raisins in it. very good! no doggie bags, we finished everythin! shared a dessert since their cheesecake can't be beat and it's so light and creamy. a bottle of pinot noir from la crema was a great match.

i can't recomend a restaurant more... this is my first urbanspoon review but i had to share our love of this great valley spot. thanks beardslee!
