"Great meal but pricey. Excellent food with really good service. I felt the prices were high for their basic menu items (think burgers and sandwiches). Overall everything was really tasty, even high end. For the entree meals I didn’t think it was too expensive, but for the basic items I felt it was slightly overpriced. Having said that, I highly recommend it. Their beers are really good as well as their food. Just don’t expect to get out for less than at least $30 $40 per person."

"Food is really good. But lately the service over the phone has been pretty awful. I find whoever works at making the phone calls is very rude and has not customer satisfaction skills at all. I order a pizza with a side order or bake ziti and fried calamari and a slice of chocolate cake. Unfortunately I received a phone call from the restaurant telling me they don't have chocolate. I asked nicely if I could get it replace by something else instead. Who ever i spoked to over the phone was very rude and didn't offer any options as to just call the app and get my refund for my money instead of giving me options with what I could replace. This is not the first I have ordered through the app and got very rude phone calls back from the restaurant about clarifications on my order . Besides the food being really good. The service and customer experience was awful"

"The Apotheca, an event at the Culinary Institute, was more than just a fantastic culinary experience. It also highlighted the graduating students' skills in the culinary arts. The theme of the event was impressive, with detailed explanations of natural ingredients and their health benefits. I especially enjoyed the Botanical Garden showcasing various herbs and their uses in enhancing flavors and promoting health. Dining in the Great Hall with music in the background created a magical atmosphere. The Culinary Institute staff and professors showed passion in praising their graduating students. I was pleased to learn about the institute's partnership with the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley and commend the donors for their contributions to the benefit auction. Dr. Raimundo Gaby's humor and personality as the Master of Ceremony added to the celebration, displaying enthusiasm for his students and culinary excellence. Apotheca, the everlasting bloom, provided an unforgettable culinary experience."

"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."

"This brightly colored old restaurant in the historic Union St. district of Poughkeepsie features an unmistakable large Vegan Options mention in one of the windows, leading me to wonder if it would be an interesting find. Many fillings for items include meat, cheese, or queso fresco. The clearly marked vegan possibilities to my mind included a section with two burritos and the taco section. Other sections did not mention veg subs. I ordered 3 tacos, then one of the burritos, Gaby's Burrito. The 3-taco plate has to be made with all the same filling. Being a vegan, I chose spinach and mushroom, forgoing for example the fajita veggies option. One could elect soft or hard tortillas for the 3-taco plate. The three tacos each came wrapped in two soft corn tortillas. The menu promised cilantro, wedges of lemon, and onion, along with red and green sauces. The spinach and mushroom filling lay at the center of the tortillas. I poured on the spicy sauces, put on squeezes of lime, and used my hands to eat. I had queso fresco left out by mentioning I was a vegan. It is a relaxed meal that was as good as better than street tacos I have had in restaurants in Kingston and Red Hook, for example. I happily realized after downing my tacos, that they are largely an appetizer. I then ordered one of the two burritos in the veg burritos menu section. The burritos arrived. The earlier tacos had been fresh-veg-Mex by comparison. I did not care for the burnt-tasting brown chipotle sauce in the black beans and tofu meat sub. I could not finish my burrito. My waitress had not given me an option of other sauces. I liked the use of separate black beans instead of refried. The salad with the burrito dinner plate contained cabbage and other veggies, but was a bit wilted. The sweet, blackened plantains were sweet and were swept up in pieces at times on my fork with bites of the burrito. The tab was not high for the two dishes combined. I avoided ordering alcoholic beverages or dessert. I found the place authentic and wondered if there could not be more vegan filling options on the menu for, say, the steamed tamales or the enchiladas, classic Mexican dishes I like. Near the Amtrak station in Poughkeepsie. Off-street parking in a small lot next to the building. Mexican decor. I'll be back to this Mexican-food discovery with lunch and dinner hours.
