A solid 4 out of 5, with more hits than misses.
+ We called ahead, said we were 15 minutes away, and were promptly seated with a choice of indoor or out. It was a beautiful Memorial Day Monday, so we opted for outside.
– We waited a little longer than necessary for our waitperson to come to our table. She apologized in that she hadn’t seen us get seated.
+ Waitperson was helpful, friendly, and even fun, too. Great service after a slow start.
+ The okra bites appetizer was plentiful, perfectly seasoned, and the dipping sauce wonderful.
+/- The crab cake sandwich was good, but not great. The burger was the same. It was a good meal, but fell a little short of ‘wow, we’ve got to come back here again soon.’
+ The key lime pie was tasty, especially the crust.

All in all, a solid 4 out of 5. The waitstaff made the experience great.

Ate here 2/13. Service our server was great. Atmosphere is pretty chill. Food was good and had a nice flavour. I got a side salad, alligator bites, and a cup of gumbo Portions are decent. The only reason for the point deduction is some of the prices are a bit much (the one that stood out the most was $11 for mac and cheese (?!) And I think the brownie dessert is $15)

Misc: they need to update their menu on their website because some of the prices are shown do not match the menu you are given. Esp important if you budget your money

Misc#2: Forgot to take a picture before removing all the sliced carrots to the side. Everything is mixed in (I forgot to tell them no carrots so that’s my fault)

Nicest restaurant in new paltz, with the best view of the mountains in town. The staff is friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. Honestly the best quality food served in new paltz. There something for everyone on the menu. Matt and Kerry are amazing as well as the whole parish family. I highly recommend The Parish to first timers, the locals already know why.❤️ Matt’s signature cocktail’s are amazing if you just want a warm drink (alcohol or alcohol free) in the winter, or cold one in the summer, you can’t beat the selection.

I come to New York from New Orleans Uptown 17. I went to this restaurant on Valentine’s day 2026 with my friend. I was curious about the food’s ingredients and how it is prepped. Since New Orleans is my home, I am very versed on authentic cuisine. I began to ask questions to get a better understanding of the menu, and the waiter and host became very tense. I wanted to know what brand of red bean do they use to prepare the red beans dish. Frank, the waiter says, “we use a kidney bean”. This response would be funny to NOLA natives because kidney refers to the TYPE of bean not the BRAND. I knew something was wrong, but could not put my finger on it. Next, I wanted to know how the gumbo was prepared. Frank refused to answer my question, and put me off onto the host. It was a middle aged very rude lady with red hair. When I tried to explain my frustration to her about the way Frank treated me and the lack of information about the menu, she immediately took over the conversation. She explained somethery very revealing to me, but I did not understand this until two days later: she explained that there food comes from a food distributor. Two days later, the reason for the rudeness and lack of transparncy about the food’s ingredients and manner of prep is because I was asking questions that they did not want to answer. The point is, these people are marketing a culture and way of life that they have ZERO appreciation for or knowledge of. I left that place feeling insulted and disrespected. This is NOT AUTHENTIC NOLA CUISNINE. Lol you don’t get authentic NOLA cuisine from food distributors. You cook it. I do not judge those that eat out from the microwave, but but the marketing there is misleading. I will never go back there. In fact, I’m going to spread the word that these people are fakes without the appropriate knowledge and appreciation of the culture. For this reason, I will NEVER RETURN.

We stopped in The Parish for lunch. My husband had the jambalaya with shrimp, I had the Mac and cheese with crawfish. I liked his better. The shrimp had a smokey taste. Mine was just okay. The service was very good and the atmosphere was very homey. I would go back again.

Had the best dessert I think I’ve had to date. The strawberry shortcake was so good I accidentally ate it all before I got to take a picture. The alligator bites were also bussin. Cajun seasoning hit the spot and the lemon was a great touch. Had a really good experience here

The dining experience at The Parish in New Paltz was nothing short of a culinary delight. The journey began with a trio of appetizers that set the stage for an unforgettable meal. The Chicken Wings were bursting with flavor, the Gator Bites were superbly executed, and the Fried Okra was a delightful crispy treat.

Moving on to the mains, both the Gumbo and Jambalaya struck the perfect balance of spice, delivering an authentic taste of the South. The well-crafted dishes showcased a mastery of flavors that left our taste buds thoroughly satisfied.

Our server, Paulina, played a crucial role in enhancing our overall experience. Her attentiveness and courteous service added a personal touch to the evening, making us feel well taken care of throughout our meal.

The Parish’s commitment to quality ingredients and skilled preparation was evident in every dish, creating a dining experience that exceeded our expectations. The ambiance, a mix of southern charm and welcoming warmth, provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable evening.

In conclusion, The Parish at New Paltz is a culinary gem that deserves high praise. From the flavorful starters to the perfectly spiced main courses, every aspect of our dining experience was top-notch. I wholeheartedly recommend The Parish to anyone seeking a taste of the South in a welcoming and delightful setting. We left with satisfied palates and a strong desire to return for more.
