After we walked in one of the waitresses informed us that we can sit wherever we want. I instantly felt like I was inconveniencing her with my presence by the way she said it. Didn't take it personal just yet. What appeared to be the hostess came over a few minutes after we sat down and handed us menus that were very dirty. I looked at my husband and said I am ready to walk out of this place bc I am starving and it looks like they are too short staffed right now which is understandably out of a businesses control sometimes. But wait, instead of the waitress coming to our table to bring water or ask us if we would like a drink, she went to another table with a man and a child that she obviously knew well, and started eating their french fries and talking. That's when we decided to leave and spend our money elsewhere. So unprofessional. That couldn't wait? I hate to leave a review like this, but if I was the owner of this business, I would not want someone like that working for me, representing what seems to be a great place.

They have a short tap list on a chalk board over the bar area but a massive bottle and can list. Truly a beer enthusiast paradise. Prices vary but pretty much run $6-$9 per beer.

Honestly it was good, nothing over the top amazing but a very good breakfast, the hash browns I will say I should sub them since they kind under-seasoned. Also this place was mad busy after I came in, so I can see why they have reservations. It was packed by time I left. Also they have an outdoor pick up window if you don't want to come in.

0ur experience here was great. We were in the Poughkeepsie area for two nights for my wife to…read moreattend a get together with her SUNY New Paltz theater buddies from some 50 years ago. We like to travel and like to eat out trying new things. Frustrating that a lot of restaurants in the area serve basic pub food (which is fine, but it gets boring after a while to point of tedium). We ate at Rossi's Deli (awesome) and Crew yesterday. After meeting her friends at P&G's in New Paltz (where else for a bunch of college friends to hang out) , I was really looking forward to non-pub food. We found Farmers and Chefs. A local restaurant with a twist which is what I look for. And they grow and feature mushrooms which is probably one of my favorite ingredients. It was a pleasant atmosphere, spaced out tables, comfortable , light background music . All very pleasant. Our server Cami could not have been nicer or more helpful. She fully understood the menu, was helpful in ordering a half salad for my wife. Service was efficient without being hurried. My Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc wine was superb and worth every bit of the 16 bucks a glass. Generally I noticed the wine list had a small but quality wine by the glass list. They have an extensive list of local brews which I did not try. So far all well deserving of the five stars. So how is the food? We started with Northern Belle Oysters from the Canadian Atlantic. I believe these are actually native to the northwest North American waters but the Atlantic versions had the solid meaty texture of pacific oysters and a hint of the brininess of Atlantic oysters. An interesting and successful melding of the types. The mignonette sauce was a little sweet which actually worked with these oysters when used sparingly. I liked them . They had a special salad tonight of heirloom tomatoes, cucumber , goat cheese, olives in a clean vinaigrette. It was flavorful and the goat cheese was excellent. She had the app Gambas Al Ajillo as her entree (small eater) . Nicley cooked and the shrimp had a strong forward shrimp flavor (cooked with the shells on then shelled post cook? which is how I like to do them). I like my shrimp to taste like shrimp which is so difficult to find these days. The dish might have been lacking a bit in the garlic department but otherwise very good. The accompanying slices of their bread to sop up the garlic/oil/butter sauce was excellent. I debated at some length on my entree. The 50/cut beef and mushroom bolognese looked tempting . A special of squid ink pasta with shrimp, octopus and clams sounded really good as well. But if they grow mushrooms and make goat cheese and pasta let us get right to the point. Mushroom Ravioli with a mushroom, butter, lemon and thyme sauce and balsamic drizzle and more goat cheese. OMG. This was great , really awesome. The pasta was cooked perfectly and both the mushroom filling and the sauces were on their own great. Together thought it was well orchestrated flavor explosion. So glad we found this place.

I visited Lola's Cafe with my sister while walking on the Walkway over the Hudson Trail, in fact, if you're on the trail and go down the staircase that points to downtown Poughkeepsie Lola's is right to your left when you get off the staircase. We ate the autumn, chicken salad, wrap, and the Baja chicken wrap. My sister is gluten-free and was delighted they had menus with their gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. The staff member who took our orders was kind and generous in his service. Interestingly they also sell coffee beans, merch, and to-go foods from their kitchen. On my next visit, I look forward to trying the cheesecake and one of their bowls, paninis, or salads!

We enjoyed the special chicken tzaziki wrap, salmon salad (tender and tasty), the vegan quinoa bowl was ok but a bit small and not too exciting. They also were preparing catering offers and there was a pretty constant stream of customers. The space is rather small but we got there at a good time to find seating. They also have a tap water station. There's only gender neutral bathroom, which makes for a little wait at times. Street parking and a small lot a short walk away.
