As the dawn unfurls its golden hues over the frosty peaks of Hunter Mountain, there’s a place nestled in the heart of the Catskills that offers more than just a feast for the eyes. Prospect Restaurant at Scribner’s Lodge is a sanctuary where the morning’s first light is celebrated with a breakfast that’s as breathtaking as the panoramic vistas outside its windows.
Savoring the Summit: Breakfast at Prospect in Hunter, NY – Restaurant Reviews with Photographer Maxwell Alexander
On a Catskills morning that seemed to have been painted with the brush of an old romantic, my husband Dino and I stepped into the embrace of Prospect Restaurant. The ambiance was a love letter to the Catskills’ heritage, a blend of the rustic and the refined, a scene awaiting the stories of those who dine within.
Our breakfast was a pageant of flavors, beginning with an expertly crafted latte. It was more than just a cup of coffee; the heart-shaped design swirled within the creamy foam was a testament to the barista’s artistry, a prelude to the care infused into every aspect of our meal.
Then came the pancakes, each stack a golden tapestry drizzled with the richness of maple syrup, embodying the very essence of the forest. They were clouds on a plate, each bite a soft descent into flavor and comfort.
The breakfast sandwich was a bold ensemble of taste on a brioche bun: the eggs, a soft whisper of morning; the cheese, a melody of richness; the thick slab of bacon, a robust echo of the lodge’s hearth. This was complemented by a side of fruit salad, a chorus of freshness that cleansed the palate with every vibrant forkful.
As we dined, the grandeur of Hunter Mountain framed our view, a panoramic spectacle that added a touch of the divine to our morning feast. It was not just a meal but a moment of connection with the land, the people, and the heart of the Catskills.
To fully immerse in this culinary odyssey where each flavor tells a story, a visit to Prospect Restaurant is a journey worth taking. It’s a gateway to the essence of the Catskills, served one exquisite plate at a time.
