This is a review for the restaurant only. The restaurant is nice, the waterfall is lit up at night, the dining room is nice, and our staff was nice. Majority of our meal was delicious. The lamb chops/shank, were melt off the bone tender but they missed something. Flavor, seasoning, juice, not sure. It just felt bland. The baguette, dumplings, steak, and truffle fries were phenomenal, the white wine was also great. Now the downsides: 1) Weren't provided a steak knife, when requested were given what looked like a butter knife with more ridges. Pretty weird 2) Tables were crammed so close together near the window that I could hear every word of the couple next to us, I could extend my arm out and take from their plate or touch them (not that I would, but just an example of how close they were) it made it feel less intimate and I felt awkward trying to have a conversation with my partner So overall a good experience.. but work on the lamb shank - seriously it was cooked amazingly just needs some season, steak knifes, and move the tables further apart (specifically the 2 person tables near the window) But overall would recommend. Prices weren't terrible, especially if you axe out wine.

Where do I even begin? For the price we paid, we certainly expected a nicer hotel and better service. I heard mixed reviews on the restaurant, so we did not eat there, but we did have cocktails in the Lounge. The cocktails were great…service was meh. The room: So many things about the room were odd and it was clearly not designed with travelers in mind but rather what would look cool. For starters, the shower situation. Luckily, I stayed in the room with my husband, as we did not know that our king deluxe room had a shower with a glass wall that looked into the main bedroom. Fine if you’re going to include smoked glass, but that was not the situation - it was basically just a glass wall that gave zero privacy into the bathroom and shower. The shower head was too low for my 6’ husband to stand comfortably under the shower and there wasn’t a single towel hook within reach from the shower. Because the shower was open on one side, it was impossible for steam to gather and so our showers were chilly and the provided soaps were out of reach when you were under the water. Plus, the handle on the shower knob was faulty. Inside the bathroom, there was poor lighting and they forgot to consider a soap dish for the bar soap offered. The one and only towel hook was closer to the toilet, so you had to get completely out of the shower and walk around the wall to grab a towel. The hotel boasts a fancy makeup mirror, though ours was broken and the hot water tap leaked when the water was on (which made the countertop wet). When we walked in, there was a small “closet” …but the two robes (one of which had a broken belt hoop) took up the only hanging space. There was no way we could have hung up our winter coats in the closet unless we removed the luggage rack, robes, and ironing board. The room had water damage and rips in the ceiling and we heard noises from the floor above us all throughout the night. The bed was comfortable enough, though the pillows were all exactly the same and kept getting stuck in the large space between the frame and mattress. It was impossible to prop yourself up against the headboard comfortably because of the pillow/bed frame situation. The bedside tables were super small. On the side of the bed that had a light switch and dimmer, there was an alarm clock/phone charger and phone - which meant that there was not much more room to place our own items. This side of the bed had outlets for our phone chargers, but the other side didn’t have a single outlet. The bedside lamps were all on one switch, which included a dimmer, but the dimmer made a buzzing sound and made the lights flicker, so they had to be turned up all the way. As for service - I suppose I could ask, “what service?” We had zero contact with staff and didn’t see anyone outside of check-in and check-out. Our mini-fridge was not re-stocked when our room was tended, which meant that we had no cream cheese for the bagels that arrived on our door handle each morning. When we made our way from the front desk to the Roundhouse building, we walked in and asked the restaurant host which way to go - he simply gave us the stink eye and pointed in the direction of the elevator - not exactly a warm welcome. Photos included. Ughh - we will be finding better accommodations next time we are in Beacon, which as a lovely town with great food and shopping.

We had a wonderful two-night stay over the long New Year's Weekend. The hotel is truly a lovely find, great location, clean spacious rooms (in the Mill House), excellent amenities. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the restaurant. We booked dinner on Saturday Jan. 3 and arrived to what we hoped would be a special evening. Ambiance and decor were beautiful. Table was perfectly situated near the window with a stunning view -- yes, even after dark -- where the lights on the creek and the falls create a dramatic effect. While the service was excellent, the food fell short. Not enough to complain about at the time, but disappointing nonetheless. Honestly, hotel is definitely a 10 out of 10; restaurant maybe 5 out of 10, though perhaps it was just an off night for the kitchen?

The atmospere was incredible, and our table in the main room had the perfect view of the river surrounded by the fall foliage which set the tone. We enjoyed a delicious bottle of Rioja and loved the bluefin tuna starter, which tasted fresh with the yuzu ponzu. The octopus with chorizo and beans had a perfect texture, though the flavors were a bit more muted than expected. The smoked St. Louis ribs were messy but absolutely worth it with its rich, smoky, and delicious flavors. Service was attentive and friendly throughout. The location is also fantastic as we loved being able to stroll Main St afterward and explore the small shops. Overall, a wonderful experience and we’d love to try some dishes again in the future
