Our family stopped by the Peekamoose at the recommendation of a local couple we met hiking on giant ledge. The atmosphere, a mix of rustic catskills meets fine dining with zero 7 playing in the background instantly helped us unwind. The prickly pear martini helped as well ;) The staff knew to keep our boys busy with crayons and delicious... More

I give this place a 2 because of the service. However, the food is delicious - really top rate modern cooking, and a good wine list too. But the service..... It was attentive at first but then slackened off completely. The bread promised by the waiter at the beginning never came. After our main course, half of our party's plates... More

We were staying in Margaretville for two nights and heard great things about this restaurant. The food and service were excellent and the ambiance was so woodsy cozy!! We had the scallops (EXCELLENT) and the rainbow trout for entrees and started with the chicken livers (EXCELLENT) and the endive salad. We started with a pot of chai tea to warm... More

We had a Saturday night reservation in April at Peekamoose. I had heard great things, so we were excited. First off, the food lives up to the hype. All the dishes were awesome, and even better than you expected. The restaurant decor is nice too, it's a little quirky, and the restaurant is huge. The drawbacks are that, despite having... More

High end food in a great surrounding, perfect for celebrating a good day skiing at Belleayre. They will do,children's portions. Cocktails and beers are excellent. Decor is perfect, service is great. The bar is really good, and everyone loves the adjacent outdoor fire pit with free marshmallow toasting for the kids. If this were closer to her I would go... More

If you're craving some finely executed food in a beautiful but not fussy environment, this is the place ! Bar room atmosphere and service is friendlier and definitely quicker than dining room ...same menu available. Food is delicious, though entrees do not come with vegetables ( must be ordered ala carte) which is disappointing, considering the price point ...menu descriptions... More
