So the food from circle market moved across the street to here. Still delicious. Got my favorite with goat cheese, prosciutto and fig name. So good

We went for their AirBnB experience and a concert in the backyard; therefore, the restaurant and bar were closed. They were amazingly accommodating, pleasant, and kind. They provided a plethora of complimentary snacks and drinks for us.

Excellent sandwiches, good beer list, and an amazing place to hang out and spend the afternoon. The outdoor space overlooks a river and is must see if you’re in the Catskills.

Griffin house is great! We came for dinner opening night, the waiting area is spacious with chairs and a pool table although you don’t have to wait for long. You walk into a large room but it’s lighting and wood choice make it feel very cozy (the fireplace tiling is adorable). The cocktails were beautiful to look at and very yummy (recommend their take on the martini!). I had the Captain Walsh’s Curry for dinner which was delicious (I am enjoying my leftovers while typing this). Service was very quick and kind- definitely will be going back, a great addition to the town.

Absolutely beautiful venue inside and out. Intimate tables, I especially loved the stools at the table by the fireplace. Margarita was delicious and lovely selection of beer. Ordered the burger with a side salad, all around perfect dish and the real stand out was the Shepard pie… by far the comfiest coziest meal I’d eaten in a long long time. The portion was perfect and accompanied by the best garlic green beans. It’s wonderful to be able to roam around both inside and out. The picnic tables outside are the perfect place for gathering with a group and inside is cozy! Did I mention they have a pool table?! All around wonderful place and can’t wait for many many more visits with some of the nicest staff I’ve encountered.

Wife and I live within five minutes and I wanted some post hike food and also to support the new place in town. Atmosphere is good, interior design is really nice. Cocktails were very enjoyable. We got the smoked cod chowder; will be getting again soon. We enjoyed the potato skins (smaller serving) not sure if we would get again. We split the fish and chips for dinner. Very good. Will likely get again, made the wife happy. Overall we really enjoyed eating here and are likely to eat here or get takeout again soon.

If you’re looking to eat a once great grilled pastrami sandwich from the Circle W general store, good luck! You will be directed across the street to the Griffin House, where the Circle W crew allegedly moved into to continue to make great food that was once at the original Circle W. We were told the menu remained the same and the quality was just as good. Not true……. the sandwich had risen in price, there was a couple of slices of pastrami on it, it had a rainbow color, which is normally indicative of cheap cold cuts, and the pickled cole slaw was completely red (beet colored) and extremely sweet. It tasted nothing like the grilled pastrami sandwich from the old Circle W.
So, you must order food , your beverage and pay as soon as you walk into the Griffin house. After paying, they allow you to be seated, at which point you wait for your beverage and food to be delivered. My wife and I ordered a dark stout, which was sweeter than a Coca-cola! Horrible!
When the food came out, my wife asked for utensils, and the waitress told her she could help herself at a counter which had utensils, and napkins. She did, and we ate was a pretty bad grilled pastrami sandwich!
If your thinking that your getting a pastrami sandwich that you were used to getting at the general store, you will be sadly disappointed! This is what happens when you change a very good thing.
Won’t return ever!!

We just spent the weekend at the newly opened Griffin House. From our first interactions reserving a room we were impressed by the follow up and polite interactions with Autumn!. The room was wonderful and the grounds were very impressive from the views of the mountains in the backyard to fire pits. The place was absolutely stunning with a beautiful wood bar area and bartenders that knew their drinks and the area. They were polite and knowledgeable about the area and gave us numerous tips on what to see in the area. After arriving we realized Autumn did so much and was so attentive to all things going on with all guests it was truly amazing. Then let’s talk about the food. I truly believe I had the best hamburger ever!! And the fish and chips were fantastic. I was impressed by the whole staff and environment and can’t wait to return.

I recently visited Upstate NY for the first time and was lucky enough to stay in Palenville at my boyfriend’s childhood home, literally a minute walk from the newly opened Griffin House. I’ve heard so many stories the past couple of years about this place that was a part of my boyfriend’s childhood and was so excited that we were able to dine here. The staff, the owners, the atmosphere, the food, the drinks are so outstanding!
I started with the espresso martini, which was absolutely perfect. For food, we ordered the wings, fish & chips, chicken curry, and shepherds pie. The menu was carefully curated and food was a testament to it. Everything was delicious! Even though we were stuffed, I had to have the bread pudding – especially since this one has my favorite accompaniment – WHISKEY SAUCE. This seems so rare to find on a menu anymore. It was so good that I had to come back two nights later and make the bread pudding my last meal before heading home.
Griffin House made our trip extra special, such a great gathering spot for locals and friends and I cannot wait to go back, hopefully in the fall. Until then I’ll be trying to recreate that whiskey sauce at home 🙂
