Restaurants in Hyde Park

“Unquestionably the culinary highlight of our autumn trip to upstate NY. LOVED the tableside presentation of many of the items ordered (sauces poured on halibut and steak, ice cream presentation, etc).

There were so many great sounding dessert options, but we were suckers for a hand-spun ice cream option - “dinner and a show”

Outstanding food, and tremendous service from Daniel - couldn’t have done a better job. These students will be a huge credit to wherever they work after graduation!”

“I’ve been searching for a sushi place since I moved up here from Long Island. Everything is fresh service is great. I highly recommend.”

“Prepared by the best chefs!”

“Family has been going here since they opened and we all love the truffles and treats. Emy is so sweet and puts her whole heart into this business.”

“My first time there and I ordered a pizza- delicious with a thin and crispy crust. George was very personable. I'll be returning to try some Greek fare next time.”

“Had the burger tonight and the southwest Cobb salad - which is the best around - shared with my husband and there was still enough to take home for lunch tomorrow. The food and service was very good”

“Went for a tour and tasting and everything was fabulous, from the space itself to the tour guide, the facility, the attention to detail, the information, and, maybe most importantly, the sakes. Clean, smooth, absolutely delicious. I am a convert to sake and understand why Dassai has such an outstanding reputation. ⭐️”

“Very nice people and the place looks great!!!!! Sandwiches were delicious!!!!!”

“I'm not easily impressed but Joseph's Italian Steakhouse really hit a home run on all levels. Best Prime Rib I've ever had, so tasty and cooked perfectly. The sides we equally delicious which elevated my whole experience. The hospitality was superb and judging by the looks on other patrons' faces, I assume others had a similar experience.”

“I went to brunch here today and loved it . The food was delicious and the service was amazing. I loved the friendly atmosphere too . I had to get a few blueberry scones and white chocolate scones for later . I highly recommend this lovely place.”

“I went wit a group from school, we were visiting the FDR House and for lunch we came here.. the servers were super nice and I love the atmosphere of the place.the food was delicious too! they deserve 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“This place is amazing I only go a little because this is a treat for me but I do have to say the best boba around hands down. And to make it better the staff is so friendly. Always so welcoming.thank you”

“Had a fantastic dinner for my wife’s birthday on our first visit to the CIA. Service was amazing and the food incredible. They went above and beyond with the extra attention for her birthday and made for a great evening. Thank you!! And an extra thank you to the pastry cream for the custom birthday cake!!!”

“Absolutely beautifully crafted and delicious desserts. Staff/students are extremely helpful.!”

“Burger is so good. Ice cream obviously very cold and delicious flavors abound so friendly, awesome seeding space. Play some basketball with the kid, beat em. Some pickup ball with the kid beat em.”

“I've only had the Pizza so far (take out) but can say it's always been great”

“hotdogs are awesome and a great deal. 2 dogs chips and soda 10.00 cant go wrong”

“What wonderful folks behind the counter! The ladies never stop, work extremely hard to make sure all guests are taken care of and that we have everything we might need despite what might be a very long line. Love this place!”

“Hyde Park pizza place has very good pizza more often than not. Wings were a hit but now they are overcooked. This past Sunday however I ordered BBQ chicken pizza and when I arrived 30 minutes later, they all didn't know where my pizza was. They asked if I wanted red sauce on my BBQ chicken pizza. And to top it off they had just put it in the oven. I will never get pizza on a sunday from here again. Very unhappy.”

“Really beautiful spot overlooking the Hudson with serene, gorgeous surroundings & a lot of seating in the food court like area. The glass walls are great for enjoying the view. There are also billiard tables and foosball.

The food is reasonably priced, and pretty good but could be better. Last time I went, I had tacos, there was no sauce & meat was a bit dry, the beans in the rice and beans needed seasoning. Also had an oat latte, which was OK, price was better than some cafes though.

Today I had a rice noodle dish with ginger soy pork. The dish was in real need of a sauce or broth and the meat although tasty was on the dry side & not as tender. The rice noodles were cooked properly, just was hard to eat dry noodles topped with meat & a salad on the side. My friend had the GF burrito, it was on the salty side. My other friends had chicken and mashed potatoes which they said was pretty good. There were other stalls we didn't try that might have been better.

But then again it's students serving their dishes as part of their training so they're still learning. What would be great is if there was a feedback box at each station to help them see what they could improve on. Maybe they do have them and I didn't know...

But the beautiful, serene ambiance & price does help so I would still go back if I'm in the area.”

“amazing food and very friendly service!”

“A wonderful step back to better times, happier times. With the great food that takes you back in time. The favorite flavors of soda ,egg creams and the best french fries you’ll have. Their friendly and happy to make your experience as fun as it could be.”

“I remember when I was a little boy in school and we would have pizza parties. That pizza always came from TNF. Today I’m a grown man and am eating your pizza again. Still the best pizza in Dutchess county. I’ll eat your pizza till I’m gone. Thanks for what real pizza should be.. The kind that taste so good it makes you wanna smack your momma lol.”

“What started off as a sad and somber day with the funeral for my grandmother ended with a very high note: after the visiting hours we gathered at Cappola's Restaurant in Hyde Park. This is a spot my family has been going to for generations. Well, when I was a kid I got dragged to some family function 20 years ago that I was very bored at. I wound up scraping plates and working in the kitchen that day (I was about 9 or 10 years old at the time.) I latched onto John Cappola's arm and was given a full tour of the restaurant, $5 cash for helping out, and a life experience that I will never forget! John and I took some pictures that day, I asked him to autograph a menu for me, and I decided I wanted to go into the restaurant business. He talked me out of it, which I was quite glad he did because I wound up going into coins and antiques a few years later. John, you showed me that day the value of hard work, the concept of what the American dream is all about, and how to hustle in business. Interestingly enough, John said he wondered what had happened to me just a couple of days prior to today! John's family started this legendary restaurant on Main Street in Poughkeepsie back in 1961. They subsequently went to open the restaurant in Hyde Park where he and his brothers still run it today. "Cappola's: a Hudson Valley Tradition Since 1961!" Thank you for mentoring me and showing me the restaurant game that day. I look forward to seeing you again soon!”

“Not all Chinese restaurants are created equal. Great Wall is the ONLY Chinese restaurant that I consistently come back to when I want Chinese food. Even having lived in Newburgh for a couple of years, I still made the trip to Hyde Park when I wanted Chinese food. Everything I've had has been delicious, and they've always catered to my families picky taste buds. If I had to pick a favorite dish, I would have to go with the Hot and Spicy Chicken combo!”

“Nothing beats some freshly-cooked lunch special dishes on a Saturday at 2pm, after the tours of Vanderbilt and FDR home. The pork rice is delicious! We got hot & spicy beef and hunan beef, each comes with a good variety of vegetable and beef is tender. Very good in a crispy cool day. Will have it again if ever visit Hyde Park. Highly recommended.

(Tip free too)”

“Quick drive through service. great food, friendly employees.”
