Catamount: Your Go-To Spot for Outdoor Dining in the Catskills

September 4, 2025

Locals know that dining at Catamount is the move. No long wait for a table, no scene—just good food and gorgeous outdoor seating, with a deck overlooking the Esopus Creek and Catskills. It’s the kind of place where you can fuel up before a day of exploring the area, have a quiet dinner for two, or raise a glass to a celebration.

Our Outdoor Patio

There’s just something about dining outdoors on a beautiful day or evening, and our outdoor patio is the perfect spot for it. The sound of the creek, a mountain breeze, and a great meal—what more could you ask for?

It’s a favorite for family dinners, casual get-togethers, and birthday celebrations, with larger tables perfect for groups. Just be sure to make a reservation if you’re coming with a larger group.

If the weather isn’t cooperating—or if you’re simply leaning indoors—our cozy interior (fireplace included) has you covered.

Weekday Specials at Catamount

Our weekday specials make a great meal even better. Here are a couple of days to look out for:

Prime Rib Monday
Start the week with a satisfying cut of prime rib, cooked to order and served with sides that hit all the right notes. It’s comfort food without the fuss—and the perfect excuse not to cook on a Monday.

Locals Thursday
Every Thursday, The Emerson shows love to locals with Locals Day Thursdays. If you’re a resident of Ulster, Greene, Dutchess, or Delaware county, bring your New York State license or ID and enjoy 20% off your meal at Catamount (alcohol not included). It’s a simple way to say thanks—and a great reason to make dinner plans close to home.
