Chef-driven, wine-list-considered, view-when-the-light-drops. Reservations recommended at all of them; required at three.
Scribner's Catskill Lodge's dining room on Scribner Hollow Road, floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ridge and a cedar deck with its own fire pit for the shoulder-season crowd. The chef trained in a three-Michelin-star kitchen in Barcelona before landing here; the menu reads New American but leans on Hudson Valley farms for the ingredients. Reserve ahead on foliage weekends — this is the table every Hunter Mountain rental books first.
