Food and people are still very nice and food is good! Just doesn't have the charm and ambiance it used too! Airport setting is very cold. No charm to it anymore!

My husband introduced me to Paula's We've been here many times. The food is always great, as are the fun specialty drinks on the menu that change up with the season or holidays. Live music and light dancing makes it even better. Paula always greets us with a smile and a hug. Highly recommend, cannot wait until the new Grand Opening!

Was really looking forward to some down time with my wife after a profoundly sad week in our local school community, and the service was even sadder. Sat at the bar and in the span of an hour and twenty minutes, we were only checked up on by our server twice; finished our appetizers and waited over 25 minutes for a “what else can I get you” which never came.

Incredible food and drinks. Yeah it's loud, but who the hell cares? The live music is really good and everyone is having a great time. The staff are very good and they know how to operate in such a busy environment. Paula, the owner, literally comes to every table to make sure everyone is doing well. You just don't see that kind of care/service at many establishments today. Now for a story: when I was there I saw a lady, who was at least 85, wearing tie dye and jumping around to the music. She was dancing better and harder than I could ever aspire to. She was likely having Woodstock flashbacks, but it was awesome. Highly recommend this place (try the mango Mai Tai)

Traveling for work and I found this gem. Great atmosphere, very welcoming staff and local crowd. I felt like I've known these people for years. The food was outstanding along with the staff. Michelle behind the bar was outstanding. The fact that the owner Paula just sat down and introduced herself was awesome. It's a don't miss if your in town. I'll be back on my next pass through the area for sure.

A very simple stop off near Poughkeepsie. It doesn't look like much and the decor is simple. The service was great and so was the food. Svens balls were a Swedish meatball style appetizer and was delicious. The fried pita a great. My wife had the crispy broccoli which was outstanding. The drinks were delicious as well. The " intervention " was sneakily good. I would definitely recommend and will stop in again on my next visit to town.

The friendliest atmosphere you could want when traveling out of your comfort zone. From the moment we entered the front door, we felt at home. The whole staff made us feel like family. Paula is a wonderful host. Excellent comfort food at a reasonable price. You’ll love the decor also!
