A rich 300-year history, a thriving arts community and seemingly endless wilderness make this New York capital city on the Hudson River a great weekend getaway.

While visiting my mother-in-law in a nearby nursing home, we found ourselves needing lunch and we found this restaurant down the road. While it is in a little strip mall, the restaurant is quite spacious and has linen tablecloths and napkins. Three of us ordered the Mediterranean Plate, my husband ordered the Chicken Pesto sandwich. All of us were very happy, and very full! The Mediterranean Plate came with a large basket of toasted pita. We will definitely return!

We had a terrific meal, in a very relaxing environment tonight. They have a new menu that is pleasing. Some of my favorites are gone, but they are considering bringing some things back.

I came here for their bottomless Mojito on a weekend morning. They have excellent brunch selection. Tried their egg Benedict or omelette selection, you won't regret. The restaurant is clean and neat, ambiance is just right for brunch-ers. Highly recommended.

Family in town to celebrate daughterâs graduation from Clarkson Masters degree program. Barcelona was very good. Unassuming decor feels âMediterraneanâ and foods range from Spanish to Italian. I loved my Zuppa di Pesce. Just the right amount of different seafoods in an extremely spicy red broth (I asked for medium spice. Go mild if you donât want a lot of spice). There is a nice bar where we ordered Palomas while our table was getting ready. My daughter had one of the best seafood Alfredo pastas sheâs ever had. Super rich and creamy. Delicious. The bread was hot and top quality served with butter and an extra olivy olive oil. Service was outstanding, including a congratulatory coconut flan on the house which was to die for. Iâd definitely recommend and go back.

Athos was voted one of the 50 Best Greek Restaurants in America by The National Herald. Casually elegant, Athos serves only the very freshest seasonal ingredients, lovingly brought together using time-honored recipes and techniques, like clay pot cooking,

Elegant upscale Greek establishment with excellent service and cuisine. Delicious Athos salad with Bibb lettuce, strawberries, onions, feta and pistachios; Saganaki, grilled octopus, and smashingly fresh dolmathes (no trace of that sickly pickled taste that sabotages most versions). For the entrees, fabulous yiouvetsi with lamb shank and grilled lamb chops. Excellent overall.
