“The atmosphere was cozy, clean and hospitable. The owner was preparing for an event, but still accommodated us. We wanted to have a quiet, deliciously cooked Caribbean meal to celebrate our wedding Anniversary. The food was good, place clean, owner was funny and very hospitable. Hospitality is lacking today so much, so when it is given, I am sold! I would return one day, we enjoyed our quiet, and the owner was lovely.”

Miss SaiGon 6A Lagrange Ave, Poughkeepsie Vietnamese • $

“It's a cute little spot. The food was rather good, a few unsavory meat pieces,in the special beef pho. Otherwise, I would recommend the Vietnamese egg rolls. The more authentic option of Banh Mi was alright but more soggy than I think most would like. The only qualm is that my water wasn't refilled for the majority of my time there and was refilled with warm water. So now I have come back and would love to say there is now ice cold water and was refilled twice and the food was better in quality and taste would strongly recommend.”

There is an assortment of different steaks that are aged before they are even cut. My wife decided on the Prime Rib while I chose the Ribeye. Both steaks were delicious. They were cooked to perfection and were tender, juicy and with a charbroil flavor. The restaurant is very clean and well kept. Deidra, our server was the best. She was very nice and friendly. She made sure that we were well taken care of. Every course was brought out at the right time. We didn't have to wait and at the same time she did not rush us at all. I explained to Dreidra that I had been searching for a long time for alocal restaurant that serves a great steak dinner steak. Deidra smiled at me and said "You just found it". She wasn't kidding! That was probably the best steak dinner I have had in a long time. Deidra even surprised us by serving us with a complimentary slice of New York Style cheesecake for our anniversary. We loved everything about the restaurant. We will definitely be coming back again.”

“At one time I lived in Poughkeepsie and often frequented the Milanese. The food was outstanding but the accommodations were at the time subpar. Close together seating where neighboring conversations were easily heard. Loud talking diners nearby were often obstusive. I recall a couple were about to be seated when the gentleman curtly told the waitress "If I wanted to sit with those folks I would have come in with them."

Years later still the case. We were seated very close to a table of 5. They were indeed loud talkers and we were uncomfortable until they left about a half hour later.

I got the stuffed shrimp
Delicious! But my side of pasta didn't come until 10 minutes into the meal. That presented another problem. There was one server for the whole dining room. The poor guy was frantically running to and fro like a crazy man. We felt sorry for him

My companion got the lasagne dinner and felt it was very tasty though substantially light on meat.

Generally my return to the Milanese was a disappointment. Uneven food quality and below average seating and poor service.

I doubt I'll be back.

Joseph's Italian Steakhouse 728 Violet Ave, Poughkeepsie Steak House • $$$

“My wife and I celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary on June 1st with a dinner at Joseph's Italian Steak House. They have the best menu for steaks. There is an assortment of different steaks that are aged before they are even cut. My wife decided on the Prime Rib while I chose the Ribeye. Both steaks were delicious. They were cooked to perfection and were tender, juicy and with a charbroil flavor. The restaurant is very clean and well kept. Deidra, our server was the best. She was very nice and friendly. She made sure that we were well taken care of. Every course was brought out at the right time. We didn't have to wait and at the same time she did not rush us at all. I explained to Dreidra that I had been searching for a long time for alocal restaurant that serves a great steak dinner steak. Deidra smiled at me and said "You just found it". She wasn't kidding! That was probably the best steak dinner I have had in a long time. Deidra even surprised us by serving us with a complimentary slice of New York Style cheesecake for our anniversary. We loved everything about the restaurant. We will definitely be coming back again.”
