We went to Brasserie 292 for Mother’s Day. Don’t let the location deter you from visiting this amazing hidden gem. There was plenty of parking on Main Street and there’s also a parking lot behind the building if you drive around the block. When you step inside you are immediately transported to a high-end French bistro style dining experience. Each food item that was delivered was better than the last and they all started out absolutely delicious! The cocktails were equally satisfying with the fire side chat being a favorite of the night. Every appetizer on the menu looked and smelled delicious as it was delivered to tables beside us. We were extremely fond of the fresh and fried oysters the octopus and the escargot. We had an amazing dinner spread filled with steak Frites muscles and fresh pasta dishes. I’ll be dreaming about the Pot de Creme for weeks until I return. The owner(s), chef, and kitchen staff Obviously put a lot of care into providing this awesome dining experience. We highly recommend!

A unique place with amazing food! Went there for dinner, we started with some bread, the oysters were served with fresh horseradish and sauce, then we had escargot, everything was delicious! My entree was duck breast. The portion was perfect! I still had enough room for the dessert and a cup of cappuccino. I would recommend making a reservation. We had dinner at 8pm and the restaurant was full! Just the whole atmosphere there is really nice. Our server was great too btw!

The food is very delicious. We enjoyed the foie gras, ribeye steak, duck confit and steak au poivre. For this quality, the price is really a good deal. I mean, just imagine how much it costs you for a 20oz ribeye in NYC, and the $48 here is really really a good price. Plus It's delicious too!

Another great evening at one of the premiere fine restaurants in the area. Craft cocktails, twin lobster tails, and oysters made the evening.

Truly a fine dining establishment (with one flaw). Excellent menu and attentive service. The one flaw, and call me old fashioned, enforce somewhat of a dress code. No ball caps and no sweatpants. Brian our server was excellent as were the rest of the staff. The food was fantastic. Flavorful and perfectly prepared.

Highly recommend the bar. Cocktails and drink selection is excellent Food is great, daily specials are local seasonal and high quality. Only criticism is a lack of lighter fare. Most dishes are heavier and savory (depending on the mood that may be a good thing)

Ahhh this place i wish i had come sooner...Food was wonderful! We had the grilled octopus appetizer and dozen oysters. The octopus was so tender and juicy. Oysters were fresh! For dinner the specials: ribeye steak and sea bass. Amazing and delicious. And best of all their cocktails....chefs kiss!! It felt like the bartender was a culinary professional...we had the state of mind drink and the little owl drink....just wow. Will definitely be back and recommend to anyone who wants to go out and spend a little extra $ but still affordable!!! A nice date night spot for sure.

Great place. Had a REALLY good dinner here on New Year's day. The chef is grade A! The salmon was truly amazing. Oysters cold and fresh, even the homemade soda was better than any soda I've ever tasted! Highly recommend this place if your looking for an upper class restaurant in poughkeepsie!
