Excellent SERVICE, FOOD and ATMOSPHERE! We have tried several items on the menu and all has been great. The chili with cheese is super - with hot bread - it's a meal in itself,. Great cold beer.

The food is excellent, CIA chef. It is cozy, but that is part of its charm. Nice selection of craft and imported beer on tap.

I first started going to the Beech Tree in 1995, when I got a job in Poughkeepsie. I've been to this restaurant on and off now for nearly 20 years and I can honestly say it doesn't disappoint. We went again last night, before a show at The Bardavon, and enjoyed another good quality meal at good prices. Yes, it's... More

Laurie the bartender always takes such great care of me - the food by CIA-trained chefs is always good. I've never been disappointed by the menu drinks or service. Great laid back atmosphere

We love this place. What a cute little eatery and bar restaurant. The food is out of this world. The seating is limited but it is worth the wait if you have too. The people are so nice and you can't wait to go back after you are done with your dinner. GREAT JOB BEECH TREE! I will be a... More

We waited an hour and a half before our entrees arrived and then 3 of them were overcooked. Service from the waitress was extremely lacking. She did not ask our guest if he would like a second beverage and she seemed more interested in standing by the kitchen socializing rather than checking on her tables periodically to see if anyone...

This is a small restaurant near Vassar College in Poughkeepsie. It has good food and a bar-like atmosphere. I like going here because it is small and cozy. There is a bar but it does not interfere with the dining atmosphere.

We're visiting family and turned to TA for a dining recommendation - Beech Tree Grill lived up to the high ratings others have given it. Right in quaint Arlington, across for Vassar college in the old Juliet Theatre, this has the feel of an old New England local restaurant. It was buzzing with folks - mostly an adult crowd at... More
