The Parish

"Well didn't we fall lucky? We were heading to a different place for lunch but it was closed. Lucky for us that, ( and a delicious aroma, ) led us to this "one of a kind find!" When the locals offer you a mouthful of their delicious choices, no televisions, just views from the bar like no other, fantastic service topped off with the best meal out we in a long time, you know we'll be back for sure. Hope to see you there, and don't worry, we will pay it forward! Yummmmmmm."

"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."

"Came here for lunch after hiking in Mohonk - the overall town is cute and has lots going on, and this restaurant is perched above them giving you a good view. Food is okay but not memorable, especially since a lot of the food lacks seasoning including the jambalaya. Service is friendly but do note that outdoor seating is vulnerable to weather and their shelter is limited."

"Had a meal at the bar, and even on a Saturday night, there was still no delay in service. Really engaging and fun staff, and a good selection of options for food. Had their jambalaya and it was delicious! Great drink selections as well (beer, wine, cocktails, etc.) Small place, but the atmosphere makes it really cozy and relaxing. Good recommendation for some casual Cajun food. If it's nice outside, I also recommend sitting on their outside patio."

"This is a great small spot! Have been here three times so far. All of which have been a great experience. And have a nice outdoor seating view towards Mohawk ridge. It is a small establishment, so expect limited seating on peak service days. The quality of service has been consistent my times that I have been there. Love their Cajun style and their crafted drinks! Bless the Chefs and the staff!"
