Imaginative, well-cooked dishes managed by graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. Most people take out, but you can bring your food to a table (about six) inside or out. If you are there at the right time and season, you can watch the sun set over the Shawangunks. Bring your own alcohol. More

We had dinner there on Saturday evening. The food was well prepared, fresh and delicious.It's a BYO and self serve. The options for seating are charming and it is a very relaxing atmosphere. On a warm day or night there is outside seating. Well worth the visit!!! More

When you do receive your food it will be superbly delicious and appealing but waiting for service on a busy Friday night will mean your food can take painfully long to arrive at your table. More

Main Course is a great casual restaurant and a very nice alternative to the junk food joints in the noisy college town. The food is prepared in an open area where you can see the chefs doing their food preparation. More

Main Course catered our wedding at a farm in Catskill, NY. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the amazing food, and the special little bacon-wrapped hot dog appetizer they created just for us. Hurricane Irene blew in a week before our date, and Bruce (the owner and chef) came up to the property to personally survey the damage and make... More

Used to eat there frequently, now not much. Tonight had dinner there and still hungry after the Atlantic Salmon dinner... salmon in little sliver no more than 3 oz was rare and watery. the spoonful of pink risotto was still raw, and five spear of asparagus for $14. Could have a better meal elsewhere in New Paltz. More

The main course is an adorable cafe located off of main street. You can dine inside or out and either way you will have lovely views. Prices are good and food is fresh, locally bought and delicious! More
