Prospect

Catskills


A circular bar and wraparound windows with mountain views take center stage at the appealing restaurant and bar of Scribner's Catskill Lodge. The food features local produce and a tempting mix of dishes, several of which are designed to be shared, such as fondue savoyarde and duck leg confit. It's a great spot for brunch or après-ski drinks, too.
