Started off with with 2 CRACKED water glasses, SLOW drink service from bar to our waitress. Apps were decent but portabello sandwich had a rock hard stale roll. Chicken sandwich over cooked and not much flavor. Will say fish tacos were good. First time there and IMHO looks like more of a bar crowd, even on a Saturday afternoon. Definitely not coming back. read more

Service - zero. Been over an hour and we haven't been served dinner yet. 45 mins to get a drink, music is too loud and blasting in this dining room with all of 4 tables... Great location - but would never come here again. There are 4 tables - not crowded. No excuse.... read more

My husband and I went to Pamela's for a lunch date and it was a great experience, food was delicious, amazing costumer service ask for Brittany great recommendations and service. The place is really cute and great for pictures, a lot of mirrors. We ordered a carpaccio, fried calamari and a steak sandwich (delicioso). Este restaurante fue una experiencia rica que vamos a repetir. read more

My husband and I were passing through in our way to New England. I looked at several places to consider but was sold when I saw the reviews and the menu here. I highly recommend this restaurant! Our server Brittany was so awesome and made our experience even better! read more

Really amazing view of the Hudson River and Mt Beacon. The service was excellent and everything was delicious. Had Pamela's Clams in a white wine butter sauce. So good! read more

Service was good. Ambience was good. Filet mignon was thin and overcooked. In a filet, I expect at least an inch thick; this was half that on one side. I did not send it back, as I did not want to wait for another and my husband and sister would be finished already. I have had the filet before and it was wonderful. read more

Great spot for lunch or dinner! Limited weekday hours. Also, Pamela's provides excellent off premises catering.

Dinner on Friday night. Service slow. Drinks arrived with salad followed immediately by entree. My wife asked for salmon cooked rare. It was overcooked. I tried the Chicken Diane. Not remotely like the actual dish. This was dry chicken breasts that were grilled covered in a thin Sauce plus many mushrooms. Barely edible. Music too loud. All in all, a horrible and overpriced dining experience. read more

Oh what a wonderful Saturday night we had when we met at a place we had never been to - Pamela's on the Hudson in Newburgh. What a hidden gem! It was an easy drive up the thruway and after a few twists and turns, we found ourselves right at the water with fabulous views of the bridge and boats. The inside bar was welcoming with Kelly pouring the drinks, then we moved outside onto the side deck for appetizers and dinner. Colleen, our server, was professional and friendly and added to the fun and relaxed atmosphere. Oysters, calamari and cauliflower starters were delicious. We continued to enjoy our dinners, drinks and time together. Pamela (THE Pamela) came by the table to say hello, check-in and chat (LOVED THAT!!). It was one of those special summer nights and we look forward to coming back. read more

Outside of restaurant needs landscaping upgrades & cleaning. Service was good. Food was mediocre & portions very small. ​

Went for brunch recently, food is consistent. Service is good. Drink specials are nice. Waterfront dining prices, but you have a great view. Always a nice brunch experience. The complementary mini muffins, with honey, are delicious. read more

Went their for Mother's Day 2025. It was horrible worst breakfast I ever had. Had a party of 6. The food for breakfast was cold and lacked taste, waffles were like small frozen waffles. They coffee tasted like dirt and hot water. They charged outrageous fees for such and awful awful breakfast. Will not go their again as it disgusting. The view is beautiful and the food as beyond rotten. They should be ashamed of themselves read more

So, here's the update. I had never eaten at Pamela's before. After my horrendous experience there, I started asking around with my friends and family jus to see if my experience as an anomaly. I've tried to go back to a place I had a bad experience to give them another shot. However, they (about 5 couples) all had similar experiences of varying degrees. A long, long time for the food to come out. Multiple apologies from the wait staff blaming a "mix up" in the kitchen. (same with my experience, word for word). Seems like the view of the river will keep a lot of first-time business there. But, the people who I spoke to were all one-and-done with Pamela's. What a shame. read more

great service,great food and great views! the wings are very yummy,and cauliflower bites are delicious! breaded chicken diane was amazing!

From apps to dessert and cappuccino we had an awesome meal. We ate at the bar for a beautiful view. Bartender was personable and friendly. I would definitely go back again. read more

I had my rehearsal dinner in Oct 2024 at Pamela's and it was absolute perfection. Pamela worked with us developing a delicious fall themed dinner that all my guests raved about and also accommodated a number of dietary restrictions. The night of, Pamela and her staff were so friendly and accommodating, their service was truly top-notch. I would highly recommend Pamela's for any type of private event, they go above and beyond for you! read more

Phenomenal brunch!!! Came here on a Sunday with a group of 6, we were seated in a cute little nook area. The decor was so homey and comfortable, the staff was so friendly, warm & welcoming! & the food/drinks were incredible! We ordered a pitcher of raspberry mimosas for the girls, the guys ordered spiked Arnold palmers, all of the drinks hit the spot and were delightful. There was a wide selection of brunch items, we ordered the chicken & waffles, lemon blueberry pancakes, and some other delicious menu items. Everything was truly delicious. I also ordered an Espresso Martini which was strong & chocolatey! :) We will call it adult chocolate milk lol Overall, beautiful experience and the location is amazing with the overlook of the water. Our waitress was also so nice and welcoming, felt like a friend more then a server. Loved her curly hair!!! :) At Pamela's you feel like family read more

The location and ambience is great. The food was good, the drinks are decent but unfortunately the service was bad. We went to celebrate my sisters birthday. It was a small party of 3. We never received bread or pretzels. We only received 2/3 drinks, they forgot about my sisters (birthday girl). The waiter only checked up on us when I forcefully got his attention. We managed to make the best of it and didn't say anything until the manager stopped by and asked. They offered us pretzels to go. We appreciate the effort but it was too late. Will not be returning. read more

Pamelas is a long-standing requirement for anyone who knows high class delicious faire in Newburgh. I have been to the restaurant for private parties and casual dining and had the pleasure of Pamela's off site catering multiple times. If you're looking for a secret gem on the waterfront with unbelievable views, delicious food, and proper cocktails, Pamelas is where you should be eating tonight. read more

I dined here the year it opened. Yes, it is a unique and pretty spot. They did not have their act together then, and from what I gather, nothing has changed. Perhaps they should stick to catering, although I doubt that it could be too much better. Why? Same management. P.S. How about 2 eggs that took 52 minutes to serve, looked and tasted as if they had been cooked under a high wattage light bulb. Would you return?? read more

I'm torn. If i could i would give 3.5 stars but decided to round up rather than down because the service was really good and our waitress was very attentive. So we came here on a Wednesday when they had their 2 for $60 special. It was kind of hard to find lol but once we got there, the view was beautiful. The summertime seems ideal so you can be outside to enjoy the view more. Inside was really nice too, just not many people on the weekdays which i guess is normal around here. So the food.. not too great honestly. Our appetizers were okay, we both got the same plate - french chicken something. So this plate was okay but i didn't love it. The wine also wasn't great quality. We got cannolis for dessert though which was good. They also brought us chocolate shots which was nice. I think happy hour in the summer is probably great, if i didn't live over 30 min away i would try it. read more

Had a lovely evening at Pamela's speakeasy last night! The meal was excellent, the atmosphere was elegant, and the entertainment was top notch. Ame the Band performed a sultry mix of classics and newer music with a jazzy twist. We had so much fun and will definitely be back! read more

We had an office party here, was a breeze to set up and Pamela was a joy to work with. Food was excellent, nice variety of items. Ambiance is very pretty, inside was renovated not too long ago and looks right out on the Hudson River. Staff couldn't have been any friendlier. It's a little off the main road, but worth the search! read more

Beautiful views, right on the banks of the Hudson overlooking the docks, bridge and mountains in the background. Our waitress, Desirea, was amazing, attentive, and helpful. We never felt rushed and food was excellent, portions generous and fairly priced. read more

This spot looked pretty cool besides the weird location and parking lot, but their service is what took the cake tonight. Something was going on in the kitchen and I feel for them, but the service was pretty terrible. We were here for 3 hours waiting and no food was coming out, to anyone really. Everyone was either getting one plate in a party of 4 or none at all and tables started to clear. We were being pretty nice and understanding for a bit, but we really wanted to just leave since it was a long time. The server was probably frustrated with whatever was going on, so she gave some attitude bringing some consolation food to us while we waited. The "clam chowder" we were given was inedible, look like a concoction of random kitchen slop, and there was one other sushi thing that tasted pretty shit. If I get poisoning from it I won't be surprised. We asked "what is this, it's inedible" and the server said oh you won't be charged for it we're gonna take this off your bill... 1st we didn't order it, 2nd it was offensive you brought us this, 3rd stop acting like we're staying here. We all got up and left, and somehow they charged us half of what the drinks costed. Oh wow 50% off after 3 hours with no real food to show for it, isn't it expected in food service to know when to take your L? You guys messed up, sorry if anyone was going through something, but it completely derailed all of our plans and we didn't really get an apology. Shit cauliflower wings, too, just boil some cauliflower and dip it in BBQ sauce for better results read more

Such an awesome spot in the Newburgh Waterfront. Definitely hidden if you're not looking for it. The food was excellent. The chicken and waffle was awesome. I used the homemade strawberry jam rather than syrup and the flavor was amazing. My wife had the omelette with spinach, goat cheese and tomatoes. The view is fantastic and we're definitely returning for dinner. read more

I went there last night, and it was a horrible experience from start to finish. The food took forever to come out, and when it finally did, it wasn't very good. There was a live singer for entertainment, and she continued to let children sing in her place, so not only were we there for hours, we had to listen to lousy karaoke all night. Finally, our server never came to the table to offer more drinks or fill our water glasses. Do not waste your time!! read more

I had such a great night tonight, I always love coming and bringing my family always good food and great service. I met pamela a few times and she is the sweetest person ever. Definitely recommend this quirky hidden gem. read more

Unprofessional staff. I won't be coming back. Waited 2 hours for service. Manager claimed there was an "incident" in the kitchen. We never got served. Good riddance. read more

The server was awesome. Respectful and attentive. Everything else was horrible. The bartender took forever to make a drink. Then when she finally made the drinks someone else took them to another table while the owner was standing there talking to her. We sat for over an hour waiting for food. Great concept. Horrible operations plan. Not acceptable at all. Nobody should ever wait more than 30 minutes at the most from time of food order. They clearly don't know what they are doing. We were so upset we could barely eat by the time the food arrived. They need someone who knows how to run a restaurant. read more

I came here on Easter Sunday for the brunch at 1pm with my mom, dad and grandmother. They had live piano going which the owner (Pamela) confirmed is every Sunday. The inside was very pretty and if you get a table by the window, you look over the Hudson River. Beautiful. We didn't get a table near the window, but we still could see some of the view from afar. Apparently you need to make reservations weeks to months in advance if you want a table by the window. My mom made her reservations a week and a half in advance, so we were on the other side of the restaurant. The service was fine. Our waitress was very nice, however the guy in charge of handing out the free yogurt with fruit and granola as appetizers missed us so we didn't get ours until we asked about it way after our meals, when we were already sooo full. Grrr. We ordered the small pitcher of Bellini for $10, which is enough for 4 champagne glasses worth. It was sweet and tasty. Good deal. They also have a large pitcher for $20. You also can get mimosas and bloody Marys. For food, my dad, Grandma and I all ordered the burger for $14, however it's $2 extra for cheese. I got it with brie which was delicious. My dad got it with cheddar. The burger meat was GREAT. It came on a potato roll. The French fries were super fried. You could barely taste the potato, hence why my dad and Grandma weren't crazy about them. I substituted mine for the home fries, which I enjoyed. My mom got the eggs benedict, which she said she wouldn't get again because it wasn't filling enough. It came with a side salad and the pouched eggs were on tiny pieces of baguette instead of English muffins. She was still hungry after, and it was $16. She also didn't finish the salad so it maybe wasn't a good choice. I added some pics of the meals if you want to see. Overall I would come again as long as there's some kind of live music. The owner said they also have live bands come some other days, including Friday. They also have a small dance floor that's open sometimes. The website doesn't give you much information about this stuff so hopefully Pamela plays with the site a bit. Overall it was a nice experience! read more
