Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Poughkeepsie

Great variety of Saturday brunch / lunch selections ... various poached eggs, including avocado toast, crab cakes, beef burgers, roasted pork, salmon, and nice vegetarian choices. Soup of the day was an excellent squash. One of us ordered a delicious beef burger and the other a very tasty quinoa mushroom spinach burger. Their signature "frites" potatoes were generous and tasty. A shared lemon ricotta cake with berry compote and very good fresh coffee rounded out our lunch perfectly.

Warm welcoming staff, great atmosphere and delicious food and cocktails.

We’ve been customers for over 15 years and have always loved the food and never been disappointed. We bring all of our friends who have also become Terrapin fanatics as well. The pork chile nachos are life changing :)

As restaurant experiences go, this was one of our best of 2024. We came to the area for one evening and had been to this establishment under the prior owners a few years back. Your staff took it to another level and literally knocked it out of the park. Nikko served as both our bar tender and server and was outstanding. We are from Long Island and plan to return real soon. Bravo for an outstanding dining experience.

Food and service were terrific. Nice selection. Petit filet was tender and flavorful…. Cooked perfectly. Prime Rib was medium rare, juicy and flavorful. Dinner included soup, mashed potato and green beans. Dirty Ketel 1 Martini was 1/2 olive juice… disappointing. Bloody Mary was spot on.
