Enjoy An Upscale Dinner With A View At The Heron Restaurant, A Riverside Restaurant In New York

With amazing views of the Delaware River and an innovative New American program of food and cocktails, The Heron Restaurant is the perfect combination of refined food and beautiful scenery. The Narrowsburg, New York eatery was even name checked by Sunshine Ruffalo—the wife of the actor Mark Ruffalo—as an essential Catskills establishment in an article for Vogue magazine. Make sure to sit out on the patio, if you are looking for the best riverside dining in the Catskills.

The Heron Restaurant is located right on Main Street in Narrowsburg, New York. The goal of the restaurant is to create a cozy, comfortable space that is driven by the community and features locally sustainable products. It’s a contemporary version of the farm-to-table model.

The Heron was opened in 2009 by Marla Puccetti and Paul Nanni. They offer an innovative menu of brunch and dinner and, of course, a patio that provides a great view of the Delaware River.

The Heron offers brunch on Saturdays between Noon at 3 p.m. and on Sundays between 11 a.m. and 3 in the afternoon. They do a dinner service on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 5 and 8 in the evening.

Brunch menu items include buttermilk pancakes, locally-sourced eggs and avocado toast. You can also get buttermilk fried local chicken with a homemade biscuit or a selection of mac and cheeses. There are also plenty of sandwiches on offer and even the deviled egg of the day. Dinner offers more elevated New American fare.

Cocktails are also a man attraction at The Heron. They offer many sophisticated takes on American classics. They also have an extensive, incredible beer menu.

Though the interior of The Heron is cozy—and perfect for the colder months—it is their patio and amazing river view that takes center stage.

If you are hungry in the Catskills, then it's time to take a trip to The Heron Restaurant. You will no question have an unforgettable meal, paired with some unforgettable cocktails, and an equally unforgettable view. The Heron is open for 11 months out of the year—they close for a brief period in the winter. While you are in the Catskills, you should consider staying in this charming German resort, or maybe stopping by the Arati Store for some shopping.
