Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Poughkeepsie

We’ve been customers for over 15 years and have always loved the food and never been disappointed. We bring all of our friends who have also become Terrapin fanatics as well. The pork chile nachos are life changing :)

Outstanding Service, lovely food and charming atmosphere. Burgers, truffle fries, Desert Board and Gingerbread Chai Latte were very tasty. We were seated outside under heaters which was perfect thanks to good weather. They offered Seasonal Cocktails and they were passing hors d'oeuvres while we were waiting to be seated. This cafe is situated in Terrain and it was so beautifully decorated for Christmas including a snow machine. This was my 2nd visit and Restaurant staff are excellent.

We had a wonderful lunch sitting near the gorgeous windows overlooking the Hudson. The wait staff were courteous and friendly and attentive. We had that days soup and sandwich special. The squash soup was delicious and served in a mug, so you didn't miss a drop. The grilled chicken sandwich with arugala and asiago cheese on a grilled baguette was really tasty.

As restaurant experiences go, this was one of our best of 2024. We came to the area for one evening and had been to this establishment under the prior owners a few years back. Your staff took it to another level and literally knocked it out of the park. Nikko served as both our bar tender and server and was outstanding. We are from Long Island and plan to return real soon. Bravo for an outstanding dining experience.

Food and service were terrific. Nice selection. Petit filet was tender and flavorful…. Cooked perfectly. Prime Rib was medium rare, juicy and flavorful. Dinner included soup, mashed potato and green beans. Dirty Ketel 1 Martini was 1/2 olive juice… disappointing. Bloody Mary was spot on.
