204 Main Bar & Bistro

This is my favorite place in the area. The food is absolutely phenomenal. Everything is fresh, everything is crafted with care. You see it in presentation and you taste it in every single morsel. The highlight of the meal for me was the burst of flavors. Nothing was too salty. Dessert was also incredible. I am honored to have been able to experience fine dining in this little nook of the world. This restaurant is a breathe of fresh air. I also am in love with the Dunnys in the bathroom! The decor and ambiance are amazing. It’s all so clean and seamless. The staff was absolutely flawless. Water was refilled promptly, staff knew us by name due to reservation and it was overall just a superb experience.

We were staying at The Nash, but had 4 other locals say 204 Main was the best food in the area. They aren't wrong. Had dinner both nights we were in town and booked a third night so we could try more of the menu. The bartender Emily made delicious beverages, the clean, warm, interesting decor was welcoming, the service was friendly and excellent. Local ingredients, nice variety on a small, exquisite menu, well priced. Also good wine list that's very reasonable. Start with the Gnudi - pillows of perfection over an heirloom tomato deliciousness. The short rib and schnitzel were our favs. Norm is a creative wonder in the kitchen! HIGHLY recommend for an evening of delicious things where you can hear each other talk. Make a reservation for sure!

Review
204 Main bar and bistro
Ate at this restaurant last night with my husband and everything was excellent. We each had a Caesar salad with white anchovies and a very unique presentation that was delicious and filling. Dinner was short ribs that were tender-melt in your mouth. We were too full for separate desserts, so we split one.
My husband had a dirty martini and I had a cocktail with hops & ginger cordials among other ingredients that I can’t remember that I absolutely loved. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Decor was urban chic. 2 entrees, 2 large salads, three cocktails and one dessert came to about $170. Pre-covid prices would have put this dinner around $110 at a restaurant of this caliber but all restaurant prices have increased, so this was a huge love for us. Will definitely return.

Spur of the moment dinner while visiting family in the area. Warmly greeted, sat in lounge for a few signature cocktails while waiting for our table. Jim the host made us feel right at home from the start. The atmosphere has a hip vibe with metro touches. The menu along with the food did not disappoint. We had tasty appetizers including multiple KFC's and salads. For the entrées we had short ribs and chicken pot pies which were both amazing. Finally we indulged ourselves one more time with chocolate pudding for dessert.
All and all we would return as often as we could if we did not live 3 hours away!
Can not recommend more highly!

Well designed and organized restaurant with great food and super friendly staff. You can make a reservation and it will definitely be worth it. The food is delicious but save room for dessert and coffee.

Cool vibe and awesome food and homemade desserts! Tried the tiramisu tonight 😍😍😍 Definitely recommend! The ginger martini and apple smash cocktails were great too!

I went for the first time to 204 Main. It was everything I was told it would be. Food and drinks were superb. Make it a stop on your food journey.

The food here is absolutely phenomenal! I was so taken back by the ambiance, the delicious appetizers, and the mocktails - it felt like fine dining! Everything was so scrumptious and the service was very friendly! I will be back and bringing more friends!!

Great food and super fresh and tasty. Owners and staff super nice. Highly recommended if your looking for a place that has great food and cool ambiance

My partner and I recently moved to the area from Schenectady. One of our biggest concerns was losing proximity to good restaurants and fun things to do so when his birthday came around I was pretty nervous about finding a great place to eat. I did some research and after reading reviews settled on 204 Main and boy did we luck out.

The menu was beautiful and every. single. thing. was absolutely amazing. The drinks were fantastic, especially the Bee’s knees. The starter, entrees and desserts were masterful. The atmosphere, service, and pricing were perfect.

When I asked my boyfriend what he thought of his birthday dinner he said “it was one of the best meals of my life.” If you come to this area PLEASE EAT HERE. We were blown away by every aspect of our experience here, thank you 204!

204 Main is a fantastic restaurant that has an upscale atmosphere and excellent food! Everything here is made on site, by hand. I haven't had any food here yet that isn't absolutely delicious. Their menu is on the smaller side, but it's always changing with the season and has a good variety for everyone's tastes. This is a great place to go for a special occasion or to just hang out with friends. Highly recommend!

Fabulous decor, delicious and pretty food! Much better than the American Hotel

Excellent drinks. I had the beet salad and it was extremely delectable. The bar tender was very attentive and the owner personally saw that both my meal and experience were attended to. I’d give it ten stars if I could! Will definitely be returning.

Great atmosphere! Amazing craft cocktails!! Excellent dinner and desert!!! Great service!!!!

Drop what you are doing and eat here!! My party ordered six dishes and all were incredibly unique and incredibly tasty. NYC excellence - maybe better, without the prices and ego. We were able to convert most dishes to meatless. So yummy, still blown away!

Amazing atmosphere, wonderful food as always!! Meals were superb, and the desserts are divine

Unique little bistro with a friendly, attentive staff and the food was magnificent! We had the Short Rib and the Chilean Sea Bass special, both were served promptly, elegant presentation and delectable. We will be back. It was a real treat.

We stayed at the NASH hotel and are at the restaurant and both were very good! The accommodations were comfortable and modern and the food was delicious. When we come back to Sharon Springs, we will definitely stay here again. Jim is very nice and an all around great guy. We enjoyed ourselves very much!

Simply our favorite. We love the food, decor and relaxed friendly vibe. Great wine list. Fun cocktails and excellent service.

Got take out tonight. Their bibimbop was phenomenal. Can't wait till we can feel comfortable to dine inside again. We will be frequent visitors to this lovely place.
