Brasserie 292

Perfect spot if you like traditional French cuisine. Very, very good quality, not just by American standards but actual good quality, even by French standards. Not just the ingredients and ambiance, but also the knowledgable staff. Very accommodating. We had an absolute great night. Reasonable pricing. Great grand cru wine. Canard, steak, burger, creme brulee with real vanilla. Staff knows all the specials from the head. Just a very very good restaurant!

If you’re in Poughkeepsie and want a spot that delivers across the board, Brasserie 292 is exactly that. This place doesn’t just rely on a good menu—it executes on every level. From the moment you walk in, there’s a polished, Parisian-style energy that feels intentional without trying too hard. It’s warm, it’s lively, and it sets the tone immediately. Where it really stands out: • Food quality: Consistently strong. The classics—like steak frites and French onion soup—are done right, no shortcuts. • Service: Attentive without hovering. You feel taken care of, not rushed. • Atmosphere: Upscale but approachable. Works just as well for a date night as it does for a casual dinner that turns into a longer night. • Drinks: Solid wine list and cocktails that actually match the quality of the food. Real take: A lot of places get one or two things right—Brasserie 292 nails the full experience. It’s the kind of restaurant you go to once and immediately know you’ll be back. Verdict: Outstanding on all levels—one of the most complete dining experiences in the area.

Came tonight for Valentine's Day and it was quite disappointing. I felt really bad for my partner who found this place and was soo excited about it to only be thoroughly let down. We got seated in a side room behind the bar. It was basically a hallway with booth/bench seating along the wall, with smaller wooden chairs opposing it. The tables were pretty dinky and the man who was seated to the table next to us came in and loudly said, wow they really pack ya in here! There's only about 6-9 inches between tables. I had to really squeeze myself between tables to sit. Fortunately, no one was seated next to us yet, but when another couple next to us came, we did move our table over for her to fit through. As for the meal, they really want you to get the bottled still water (probably cause there's an up charge on it), but they dont really up sell cocktails. We had to ask our server if we could order some since she never asked. They took a while and came after we started eating our starters. You should bring your own water if you think you'll need a refill. We had empty glasses for more than half the meal. ...But the starters were good! We did the oysters which were great, the octopus,
