The sandwiches are shareable (even the smallest size) and the dinner meals are ~$17-$20 and could easily stretch to 2 full meals. Their red sauce is a little acidic but delicious. Vodka sauce is good too. Fried eggplant to die for. Fresh bread does not miss. Love the condiments. Yum yum yum!

I visited Lola's Cafe with my sister while walking on the Walkway over the Hudson Trail, in fact, if you're on the trail and go down the staircase that points to downtown Poughkeepsie Lola's is right to your left when you get off the staircase. We ate the autumn, chicken salad, wrap, and the Baja chicken wrap. My sister is gluten-free and was delighted they had menus with their gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. The staff member who took our orders was kind and generous in his service. Interestingly they also sell coffee beans, merch, and to-go foods from their kitchen. On my next visit, I look forward to trying the cheesecake and one of their bowls, paninis, or salads!

Despite the constant rush, both of them remained friendly, professional, and welcoming to everyone. They worked extremely hard, kept things moving efficiently, and never seemed to lose their positive attitudes. It's not easy to maintain great customer service under that kind of pressure, but Sierra and Annmarie did exactly that. Their dedication, teamwork, and kindness made a noticeable difference and created a great experience for customers. Thank you both for all your hard work--you are truly appreciated!

The wife had the Honey Chicken Ginger Salad and we both agreed that it was excellent. Our server, Jenny, deftly handled the full bar, the bar dining area, and the drink orders for the entire restaurant. There was a dessert special of Italian Lemon Cake offerred, but unfortunately, I couldn't convince my wife to split it. The prices were very reasonable, and the food was very good.

We've visited Poughkeepsie several times, but thanks to the Karpo app, we discovered this hidden…read morehole-in-the-wall gem that we somehow missed before. The restaurant is small and cozy, with just a handful of tables and street parking available. We were lucky enough to grab a parking spot right in front of the door, which was a great start to our visit. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Their service made us feel right at home. For food, we ordered the Korean Grill Tofu Buns, Pork Dumplings, Banh Mi Sandwich, and a Fruity Pebbles Milkshake. As someone who had been craving vegan bao buns for quite some time, I was thrilled to see them on the menu. The Korean Grill Tofu Buns absolutely delivered and were one of the highlights of the meal. The Banh Mi Sandwich was another excellent choice, packed with flavor, and the pork dumplings were delicious as well. The real surprise was the Fruity Pebbles Milkshake. It was definitely unique, but honestly one of the best milkshakes we've had in a long time. Fun, nostalgic, and incredibly tasty! Our only disappointment? This restaurant isn't closer to where we live. If it were, we'd be regulars without a doubt. A fantastic find, and one we'll definitely return to whenever we're back in Poughkeepsie.

We had an incredible dining experience so we knew the next day, the wedding day, that the food would be delicious. First and foremost, the venue itself is stunning - featuring gorgeous marbling and chandeliers, in addition to a beautiful balcony type area outside - where the reception was held, in addition to ample seating and great photo ops with the bridge over the water. The food at cocktail hour was exceptional. Our bride and groom had a carving station, pasha station and crudite in addition to passed hors d'oeuvres. My favorites were the mini tacos - so fresh - with a margarita shot, the coconut shrimp, the penne vodka and the sushi! The venue where the reception was, was stunning! It was connected to the same room we had the cocktail hour, featuring a beautiful stone backdrop wall, a huge marble dance floor and gorgeous oval tables. The venue was stunning, the servers and wait staff were so incredibly friendly, hospital and accommodating and the food was delicious! Thank you Grandview for our friends and their amazing wedding party!

PARKING: Enough parking for the time of day I was there…read morewhich was after normal lunch and before the supper crowd. This is the first time I've been in this deli so I didn't know what to expect. The staff is very friendly. IMPORTED STAPLES: The shelves are a bit bare, but they did have some Large canned peppers ($6.99), and tomato products from Italy, fresh Italian bread, and a well stocked freezer. SPECIALS: The special sandwich of the day was fried fish on a round roll. (It's Friday and Lenten season so I opted to keep my mama happy.) GOOD CHOICE: While they were preparing that I shopped a bit for some Italian provisions. Olive oil from Sicily and another cold pressed single origin. MY PURCHASES: two nice olive oils from Italy, a commercial sized can of fire roasted peppers for my pan pantry, two packs of REAL philo dough ( $3.99! Yay), mozzarella, 1/2 lb of sliced roast beef, and a beautiful sandwich. What they lack in ambience they made up for in flavors. The bill of about $68, the smiles were gratis. BTW The fried scrod sandwich was about $11 and well worth it. My pet peeve is when sandwiches have shredded lettuce and instead of a whole lettuce leaf. My fault I'm sure they would've given me the whole Leaf if I had asked. As you'll see in the photograph, the fish fillet was generously portioned, dusted with Italian breadcrumbs and deep fried - not greasy at all. It was very light and flavorful, the round roll was fresh and the perfect vessel for this sandwich. I would definitely consider returning there again if I'm in the neighborhood .
