First time and I was in awe! The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing, very friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant is a little small, but I love how they utilized the space. The food was very good 8/10 for me. From the apps to the entree, everything was delicious. It was my first time trying sushi and I was not disappointed. I will definitely be back here again. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to try a creative, new spin on Japanese cuisines. The food was served very hot, and the service was very quick.

I wanted to try a bunch of Japanese-style fish that I think I hadn't had before, so I ordered sea bass, mackerel, surf clam, & fluke. I also have rarely had seared tuna. None of them disappointed at all! Only thing missing was beer, sake, or green tea.

To give this establishment 5 stars would be a drastic understatement. While visiting the area from upstate, my girlfriend and I unexpectedly stopped in for lunch. We were greeted with a smile and sat immediately. Our server was attentive and on point during the entire visit. The food was amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to have a good meal and enjoy a great atmosphere. It appears they also have a private area upstairs for events, which only adds to the value. I’m sure the night life here is very enjoyable! Would definitely visit again if I am in the area.

Such a great resteraunt! The servers are great, and so is the food. I recommend their burgers. The atmosphere is very unique with multiple floors and cool decor. Highly recommended!

I finally stopped this evening after returning books at the library. They’re located right across the street on the corner. You really can’t miss them with their neon lights. They not only have good I takeout food, they also have groceries, of which I appreciated being able to buy buttermilk. Tonight I had their homemade mango lassi which can easily match those in a fancy restaurant, and their butter chicken with rice. The flavor was lovely and portion was generous enough for me. Next time I'll have the rice be separate from the main dish. I wasn’t sure if they sold a platter, as I would have enjoyed some naan. No matter…I plan to return to enjoy their other offerings.

I just stopped by today. I’m on a mission to learn how to cook Indian food (pasty white girl here). The owner helped me pick out the right spices and I also picked up some awesome vegetable samosas!! They also have a great selection of homemade Indian food to go including an Indian Protein Bowl!! The place is spotless! Right across from the library in Poughkeepsie!!

Today I tried some egusi & fufu topped w/ goat meat. Not too familiar w/ western African food, it was a flavor experience unlike any I've ever had, bursting w/ savoriness. It paired beautifully w/ Zobo herbal drink. Two meals for the price of one! I'm glad this restaurant is located downtown instead of a suburban shopping plaza. Slight minus points for not having indoor seating, but I'll be back anyway!

I was a bit skeptical because of my other experiences with African restaurants. To my greatest surprise, the food was so delicious. The jollof rice, egusi and fufu was so yummy. Visit this place and you will be satisfied with a money well spent

SUCH good and flavorful food! Everything from the sauces to the fresh veggies to the perfect egg placed on top was so. good. Definitely recommend this place!

Delicious food! I’ve ordered the Vassar Noodle Bowl, the Pineapple Soul Smoothie, the BBQ Pulled Pork Banh Mi, and the BBQ Pulled Pork and Korean Grilled Tofu Steamed Buns. Everything was absolutely delicious, and my friends have tried other dishes and drinks they also loved. A big thank you to Twisted Soul for hosting at Tasty Tuesday at Vassar. I highly recommend them and can’t wait to try more dishes in the future!

Took the family out for a late lunch and ice cream. Food was great and great quality. Ice cream phenomenal. You can find a place anymore that makes their own ice cream. This place does and is every bit high quality. Highly recommend if your in the mood for something different and want a nice Caribbean meal.

Thank you to the 2 lovely ladies that help us today, The oxtail was amazing with the white rice and plantains, the curry goat taco and jerk-chicken taco were amazing, I definitely recommend coming here. We are definitely coming back to try all the other foods. Very delicious.

Vegan options are pretty limited but, having any at all is an incredible treat so we were thrilled to find this charming little stop during our trip. Between The delicious options and the friendly service, the kids were disappointed that we weren't returning the second day but, I like to venture to new places. The waitress couldn't have been kinder and the food was exceptionally quick to come out. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable. Definitely worth the stop!

This pizza was terrible! Is it even possible to get good pizza in Poughkeepsie? I'll start with the good. My wife and I had never eaten from Gino's before. I checked out the reviews and figured we'd give them a shot. I called and a very pleasant young lady answered the phone. I want to ask if they delivered and if I could pay over the phone. I thanked her and told that I would call be with my order shortly. I called back roughly 10 minutes later. We ordered a large pizza with half grilled chicken and all onion. We also ordered wings well done. The total came to 45 dollars (45.00 for pizza and some wings?) And 8.00 for the tip. I'm now getting ready for what I am hoping is great pizza. As soon as I opened the box, I knew that things were going down hill from there. Get bigger boxes! The pizza was slightly folded over because the box was too small. Two thirds of the crust was brown, the other third was white. Don't ask. The onions were enormous chunks. (A little pizza with my onions please.) The GRILLED chicken was white. The chicken was thrown into a pan with absolutely no seasoning. Now, here comes the good part. What do you think happened when we went to grab a couple of slices? You got it! Most of the topping ended up in the middle of the box. This pizza couldn't have been more bland. Never again! The wings were decent. I'll give them a six. The young lady remained pleasant when I called back and the delivery guy was pleasant as well. This is by far the longest review that I have ever submitted.

We sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed the bright smile of the owner of the business. We had a variety of sushi and lady in red roll. We also enjoyed their best sake. The experience was phenomenal the flavors, texture and the freshness of the fish was on point

Not sure how this is a chicken Hibachi meal… Ordered it to go with a side of "hibachi" noodles that cost extra. None of this even tastes remotely close to hibachi. Not the same noodles. Rice is awful. It’s all bad. I’m not sure how they’re passing this off as hibachi. Will not order again.

Island House came recommended, & their jerk chicken didn't disappoint! Best smoky flavor & dry rub I have had in a long time. Just a touch of jerk sauce is obligatory, & it balanced everything out. Great way to celebrate Juneteenth! And don't tell anyone, but I went & enjoyed my meal at the laundromat next door.

I was so disappointed. For the price I paid for my oxtails… I expected to get some that had meat on them. I was charged more then 20$ for a plate of rice with a couple oxtails which barely had any meat. Not to mention the rice and cabbage tasted funky. It ended up in the trash.

Unfortunately, this restaurant is not super noticeable from the outside. However, thinking I could get pizza to go, I walked in. Inside, before the interior doors, I realized it was dine in only and was about to turn around and walk out, but someone came in behind me and I thought….why not and went inside. Took me a minute to be seated. It was a Tuesday and I entered around 6-6:30 pm. There were plenty of people already eating and more came and went the entire time I was there. The main dining area is quaint with good traditional Italian decor. I noticed they replace each table cloth when diners are finished (Ty!). Plenty of room inside as far as proximity to the next table. Carmello was my waiter and he was most professional, personable and attentive. The rest of the staff was quick to respond to any requests and take finished plates away from the table immediately (which I love). Fresh bread and butter was placed on the table shortly after I settled in. For appetizers I ordered Mozzarella with Roasted Peppers as well as Chopped Bake Clams. Those came out in about 10 minutes. Portions were apt and I finished both plates off like a champion food eater. Both absolutely delicious! For the entree I decided to get the Shrimp Scampi which came with a soup or salad (I chose salad) and a vegetable side (I chose spinach). I also finished the salad and the shrimp, but couldn’t get all the spinach down. Shrimp, cooked perfectly was juicy and robust. Melted in my mouth. It’s so refreshing to finally find a restaurant that knows how to do everything right!!! When I sat down I was a little price oriented (and the menu might be considered pricey) but as I started eating the food that was cooked to absolute perfection, I began not caring at all how much it was all going to be! Excellent chefs and flavorful dishes will have me coming back for more! This was my first time, but the restaurant as I found out has been there for a very long time. They boast a great Happy Hour at the bar inside as well as a good size party room to accommodate plenty at one time. I’m not easily impressed…but I was overly impressed by this beautiful place that is my new favorite Traditional Italian Restaurant, with traditional Italian dishes!

I came in tonight for dinner. Sat at the bar and was completely ignored and wasn’t asked if I wanted a drink or a menu or anything. Bar tender came in poured a beer for the guy next to me and just walked past. Absolutely no excuse for that type of non service. I left and not coming back to them. It’s not the first time either.

My experience Mizu Sushi was great. The chicken gyoza was delicious, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. We ordered 3 sushi rolls. The highlight of the meal was the chocolate pyramid for dessert, which was absolutely divine. The staff at Mizu Sushi were extremely warm and sweet, making me feel genuinely welcomed. On top of all this, the prices were super affordable, making it an excellent value for the quality. Highly recommend Mizu Sushi for a fantastic dining experience!

We get take out from here quite often but have sat to eat as well. The people who run the place are fantastic. Always, always super nice and they always ask about my son and how he's doing. The specialty rolls are all fresh and taste delicious. We have eaten many of the rolls and we have done the sushi boat with family there. Always a pleasant experience and the food is always on point. We have been going for years and will continue for years to come we hope.

My mom and I took a drive upstate and discovered Stupid Delicious Pizza. The name holds up: our veggie slice and Buffalo chicken slice were stupidly delish! The man serving us was incredibly warm and friendly; it was evident there’s a lot of love and pride in this place. We will be back! :)

Name fits it well! In town for the day for business and came across this place. Ordered a couple of slices; undercarriage of the slice was nice and solid, just enough for it to be held just right. It also had just the right amount of sauce, cheese and pepperonis. Service was awesome as well, gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and prompt! Around $15 for 2 huge (and I mean huge) slices with a soft drink. Definitely recommended!
