Cafeterias in Hyde Park, NY

“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.“
