“We had a GREAT experience. We did the 17-courses, which I highly recommend. Head Chef Chakma is very skilled, and everything he gave us was delicious.
Most notably, he took my dietary restrictions very seriously. When I told him I had celiac disease and couldn't eat gluten, he carefully prepared my portions separately from the rest. He changed his gloves each time and made thoughtful substitutions to keep my meal safe.
We'll be back!”
“Incredible dinner. Marina was our server and was an absolute gem! She always kept our drinks full and made sure that we were smiling after each time she stopped by.”
“Delicious meal, I took the hot pot with my hubby, wonderful service, Ipad work great for ordering, surprise dessert for my hubby birthday, thanks for the nice diner!”
“first time here and I got to say the food. waitresses were amazing. I've never tasted such delicious food like this. Definitely coming back. I rate this place 100%”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! I took 12 employees out to celebrate the holiday season and see a show in Albany. From the time we called for a reservation, right through dinner, the entire staff, and especially our server Casey were so welcoming and accommodating. The drinks, food, and service were all superb! Casey made us feel like we were the only thing that mattered in the restaurant, while the kitchen and bar handled some special requests with ease! In a world where the meaning of hospitality seems to have been forgotten by so many, this restaurant still knows what it means, and executes flawlessly. I highly recommend, and will definitely be back when in the Albany area. (I may even have to make a special trip back just for this restaurant!)”

“Excellent food! It was so hard to choose something on the menu because it all sounded good.”
“Oh my goodness!!! I had the BEST Mexican pizza Friday night. The barbacoa was so tender and all the other ingredients were as fresh as if they had just come off the plant. I’m already planning to go back soon to have it again. Would recommend this place 100%!!!”
“Grappa 72 has always been my favorite. ❤️here’s why. I hadn’t been in awhile- used to go frequently, so I grabbed a to-go order of their excellent fettuccini bolognese and some bruschetta to take home after a very long drive- ❤️❤️❤️and had a glass of wine at their friendly and comfortable bar while I waited. It’s 100 degrees outside- so I wasn’t dressed (shorts and an ocean city tee lol) but it was early.. so I popped in to wait for my order. From reception to bar to the chef popping out with my order- to the other lovely guests who were popping in as well and enjoying banter and kind conversation.. the bartender primo making everyone happy- I can’t tell you how much that atmosphere warms my soul. Good people, great food, no pretensions, phenomenal service.. and I can attest from so many previous visits- a warm and inviting dining room where when they have music you never want to leave. Soooo well done from every aspect. Thanks Grappa!!! I’ll be back soon, I’ve missed you while I’ve been away! Did I mention the bolognese? It’s better than my own- and that’s saying a lot! 😉Sincerely, Mary”

“I recently visited with my brother and ordered a chopped cheese, and I have to say, the experience was fantastic! The staff (Sal) showed so much hospitality and made me feel welcomed. As for the food—absolutely A1! The chopped cheese was perfectly seasoned and fresh, and every bite was delicious. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.”
“My husband is a breakfast connoisseur and said this is the best breakfast he has had ANYWHERE! The Rocky Mountain Benedict’s was delicious and the Cherry Amaretto pancakes were to die for!! The home is gorgeous and SAM was the best server, hostess all around amazing l person ever! This is a must go and eat when in Albany! 5+++++ stars!”
“Drove past last night and noticed that they were opened. I have read online that their hours were a bit unpredictable, so it must have been my lucky day. Ordered the Gregorio personal pizza and was both satisfied and impressed. I often comment that after 30+ years in the capital district I do not have a "go to" pizza place; that may very well have just changed!”
“I now live in Texas , but every trip to Albany includes a trip to Miranda’s deli. The food is off the charts. The smoking hot chick who makes the sandwiches and the special-needs guy who runs the register are both Fantastic. There aren’t enough stars to rate this place.”
“I recently visited Dave's Hot Chicken with my husband and best friend, and we were all so impressed! We ordered online for takeout, and the process was super easy and convenient. We spent a little over $30, and the food was ready right on time. Even after driving 20 minutes to get home, the food was still piping hot and delicious! Monica, who's usually picky, got her meal exactly how she wanted it, and the quality was outstanding. Although there was a slight wait when we picked up, the staff was really friendly, and the food was well worth it. Highly recommend Dave’s Hot Chicken for great food and a smooth ordering experience!”
“Fun night out….great staff and cool place with a good amount of different activities.”

“I cannot believe this is my first time trying their cuisine! SO good and authentic. I need to have all the things! very flavorful, great portion sizing. 5☆! Banana sticky rice, coconut pudding, mango sticky rice, papaya salad, pad thai, thai iced tea, peanut lovers dish! All amazingly good! Delivery is worth it! Thank you♡”

“Absolutely delicious. I've only had boba once before (at a different location) and it was so...bland? I didn't like it. I tried this place out on a whim with my friends and I was shocked! It knocked it out of the park in regards to taste. I got a milk tea with boba but it was so delicious that I'm still thinking about it! If you want boba go here. If you're nearby, get boba! I cannot hype this place up enough”

“We absolutely LOVE booking Nine Pin for our Lifestyle Program of events for our residents here at Adams Station. Nine Pin's booking process is effortless and timely. Jessica is an absolute joy to work with, in addition to every staff member she has sent us. Our residents love when Nine Pin comes to events, whether it's to set up a bar and serve their delicious drinks, or for the tasting events that let them learn the history and science behind the brand. Thanks for always elevating our events, can't wait to have you back soon!🍻”
“We stumbled on the place by chance and were not disappointed. The bartender, Jill was very friendly. Our meals were full of flavor. My husband got the chicken parm and I the barramundi. Finished by a tiramisu martini with a side of tiramisu. Sooooo good. We will definitely go back! Oh! The fresh bread and olive oil topped with tapenade was delish as well!”
“The restaurant offers a relaxing and upscale vibe. The food was fantastic. We started with the prosciutto and mozzarella, this seemingly simple meal was so flavorful I nearly ordered a second one. The chicken parm was arguably the best in the area. Finished it off with the tiramisu, can’t go wrong with that. Would recommend to anyone that wants an Italian meal that is a step above the rest”
“Instead of recommending the restaurant or not I wish I could rate it with stars. I would give a 3.75 the food was the good. The service was good. The atmosphere was good. Nothing was stand out amazing. For the price I would think the entrees would come with a salad or bread for the table but they do not. Drinks of course were expensive as anywhere but I got the smallest pour of wine I’ve probably ever received. We went for a special occasion and I wish we would have went somewhere else. Maybe I’ll try again with friends again for lunch and hope for a better experience.”
“Lauren and Colin are beautiful people and run a truly special establishment. An amazingly curated tap list and bottle selection, as well as super tasty small bites make for a wonderful experience with each visit.”

“I definitely don't eat enough nutritious foods. I always wait too long and just grab whatever is easiest and quick. As I have aged I have become anemic. Being anemic can lead to depression and already living in a state that is cold and dark a majority of the year, depression can come on quick and be very difficult to deal with. The iron patches have helped immensely with how I feel, not being tired and lethargic all the time and have most definitely helped curb the possibility of becoming depressed. I highly recommend PatchAid, the prices are impressive for what you are getting, they are transparent with what you get and what can be expected, the patches stick really well and as someone who has sensitive skin, they do not irritate my skin at all. I am currently getting ready to put in an order for the kids multivitamin pack for my daughter for the daily multi-patch and sleep aid, I'm excited to see how they do for her with school coming up and how difficult it can be to get her to sleep.”
“This is a MUST every time we travel down from Maine to visit friends. Amazing food, creative wine selection, and the BEST service. We are customers for life ❤️thank you Athos! Ali, (aka Bob Ross), keep on keeping on!”

Takeout Restaurants
“While passing through for a short visit to the UAlbany campus, we researched some healthy and affordable lunch options nearby. We are so glad we found Simone's! This place is so cute on the outside, and fast, affordable, and delicious on the inside! The portions were huge, the food was fresh, and the prices were competitive with chains like Chipotle or Panera. 5/5!”
“Probably the best chicken over rice I’ve had... I’m even putting this above halal guys in NYC. Not to mention great customer service, was given fried chicken while waiting for our food to come out 🙌🏻 seriously delicious. Great food and people! Will be coming back.”

“We had a lovely family gathering in the Tatami room. Food was delicious & service was wonderful. It was a delightful afternoon. Great way to say goodby to the pandemic. Thanks Jackie!”

“Food is simple but fresh and well prepared. We had Bolani which is like a thin crisp Samosa, falafel wrap and chicken over rice. Food came quickly, service was great and ingredients were very fresh. Homemade white sauce was excellent. Will definitely go back if we are in the area again”
“4.5 stars. This is the NY style pizza i was looking for. I can’t say that I have a favorite place since not every place serves the exact same pizza the same way every time. I could probably go back on another day and not have the same quality. But for right now in the Albany area this is in my top three. The evening I went to get a study break and grab some slices of pizza while reading reminded me of my time in Brooklyn when I could get out of work, walk up the street to the takeout window and get a couple slices with garlic knots and finish them by the time I got to the grocery store. This was the flavor, this was the taste. A half a star removed since I wish the back crust, the part you hold, had just a little bit more flavor.”
“Picked up some Boozy Moo ice cream at the Schenectady Farmers Market. I got the Kentucky Butter Pecan and the Whiskey Netflix and Chill. The Kentucky Butter Pecan is awesome!! It is the perfect blend of liquor and butter pecan ice cream. The Whiskey, Netflix and Chill?? Oh my gosh!! One can DEFINITELY taste the whiskey!! Both are delicious!! Will definitely be trying more flavors and going to the location in Albany.”
“I went to The Scene this morning with my daughter in law and two granddaughters It’s a very charming place with cute decor. The service was excellent. My DIL and one of my granddaughters ordered from the lunch menu — a delicious panino and a yummy wrap. My other granddaughter ordered the Nutella Waffle. It was amazing. Alas, I ordered the avocado toast and it was very disappointing. It was very skimpy — very little avocado on one slice of bread. No poached eggs or burratta on the side. No fresh fruit. Very boring. Just seemed like an afterthought. I’ll be returning but will never order the avocado toast again.”
“Ordered delivery, the sweet and sour chicken they make is the kind I grew up on! I've been craving it for months and couldn't find a proper spot, anywhere until Taiwan Noodle. I've also tried and loved their pork chops with lemongrass! Delivery is always more expensive though. Food is delicious!”
“Short and Stout Tea did not disappoint. Their tea was delicious and the service was impeccable. Their staff was extremely knowledgeable on all items within their store/Cafe. As far as I am concerned Short and Stout is my number one recommended tea stop!”
“Great food, a lot of fun grilling a bunch of bulgogi on a table grill. Staff is super friendly. I will be back for more bulgogi 🤤”
Fine Dining
“My Husband & I had the perfect night at this location! Our waiter was Leon he was amazing, we loved his personality and the way he talked to us! You never see many waiters like that anymore nowadays! If this resturant could be in my day to day budget id go every week! This place is a must go!!
Parking: We loved how this location had a lot of parking space!”

Cheap Eats
“My first experience with Nepalese cuisine. I ordered three styles of momo, which is a type of stuffed pasta dumpling. More similar to a semolina dough,, not thick and glutinous like rice dough. Clearly hand made with care. Jhol Momo is steamed dumplings served in soup. Nothing was too extreme in the soup, it was balanced and savory. Kothey Momo is like a pot sticker,, fried on one side and steamed. I got paneer cheese stuffing. It didn't have lots of cheese, but rather savory vegetables to round out the filling. It's served with chutney, a traditional sauce. I really enjoyed this even though I was expecting more cheese. The C (Chili) Momo is bathed in a spicy and slightly sweet red pepper sauce. It has bits of onion and pepper and shaved scallion. I got chicken stuffed. If you like General Tso's you'll like this, if you like Chicken Cacciatore you'll like this. It left my lips feeling pleasantly warm after eating. I'm curious to know what kind of chili pepper they use. Medium heat level, don't fear it. The owner was very nice and answered my questions, and language was not a barrier. The interior is bright and clean with several tables. The exterior is fresh and new. It IS at a very busy intersection of Albany, which is why I went between lunch and dinner hours. Be aware that if you're driving finding parking nearby could be tricky, but also be mindful of holding up traffic as you search for a spot. If necessary, drive around the block and regroup. The food is worth any extra work you have to put into getting it. I felt safe in the neighborhood, but be aware of your surroundings, it's a busy area with several main roads coming together at that location. Perfect if you come by bus! I'll be going back to try beef and mushroom momo next time, and Mango Lassi to drink. 24 pieces of momo for $36 not bad. If you want a sampler order the Combo Set, hidden at the bottom of the menu. This place is going to be very popular very soon!”
“Juices Forever was my 1st stop after getting off the plane from the West Coast. I was not disappointed. The food was great!! The customer service was pleasant, and on point. Love the atmosphere. This one stop shop has delicious tasting foods, and things that are good for your body.”
“Oct 2024: Ordered via UberEats. We were so tired after driving from Vermont at midnight, wanted to have something hot, tasty in the nighttime. This place served us Falafel and Rice (all vegetarian) so tasty with sauces (I guess tamarind and hari chutney)
Vegetarian options: Falafel over rice”
“This is by far my favorite coffee shop in Telkwa and Smithers. I probably spend far too much money then I should here, but I absolutely love it. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is great, and don't even get me started on the coffee and the food. I don't know if I've had anything that I didn't like from here. I've tried pretty much everything from the pies, meat pies, the freshly made sourdough bread that is just delicious, and the burgers on Fridays. You also have things like the cookies, the brownies and so much more. On top of all of that there's even a lot that I have yet to try, the ice cream being one of them. She even went on vacation for a couple of weeks and that was probably the longest couple of weeks without a good coffee. Oh yeah and I almost forgot, the breakfast wraps are absolutely delicious. You got to try them. Try anything try everything try it all, I'm sure you'll love it.”
“We hosted our wedding at Albany Distilling and I can not speak highly enough of our experience. Natalie was amazing to work with and the staff were wonderful day of. All of our guests could not stop talking about the drinks, staff, and atmosphere. I would highly recommend for any event!”
“My teenager has summer crew practice across the way from Eggy’s at the boathouse. When I pick her up from the river we stop and enjoy a delicious egg sandwich at Eggy’s. My teenagers are so excited when I pull into the lot every summer. Thank you for being fun.”
“We made a reservation through open table and we got there and we're informed that they weren't receiving all of the open table reservations. It was Valentine's Day but either way my table should have been secured.”
“This place is amazing. I didn't know what to expect going in to the all you can eat restaurant. I was happily surprised that it's not buffet style. Servers and bussers. The restaurant is nicely styled and comfortable. The greeters and wait staff couldn't have been kinder or more professional. $28.99 is worth every penny just for that. The longest we had to wait between orders was no more than 5 minutes. The food was fresh, perfectly presented and absolutely delicious! I really can't find the superlatives to describe it. Everything combined made this experience one of the best outings I've ever had. I HIGHLY recommend this place.”
“My mom and I had dinner here a few weeks ago. The food was great! Genavieve was our server and she truly knows how to connect with people. Her recommendations were spot on. She went above and beyond and ensured we had a great experience. 10/10 recommend!”
“The menu is definitely creative, flavorful and I've had every item off the menu. Been going here for 8-9yrs. Just tried their lunch buffet which is also fantastic deal with many options. highly recommended”
“Searching for places to eat in the local area and this place popped up. I don’t normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the food was absolutely exquisite. This place has good vegan options as well. The Dirty Little Birdy signature cocktail may be the best drink I’ve ever had! Just annoyed I had to share it. Coming back on Friday!”
“My Husband & I had the perfect night at this location! Our waiter was Leon he was amazing, we loved his personality and the way he talked to us! You never see many waiters like that anymore nowadays! If this resturant could be in my day to day budget id go every week! This place is a must go!!
Parking: We loved how this location had a lot of parking space!”
“The best cocktails in Albany! (Get the Capital City Renewal!) I had the best birthday dinner there tonight. Thanks to the team for making it special. The appetizers were incredible!”
“I love coming here, my dad worked here 🙂 always so friendly, caring, and upbeat! Never had a dull moment anytime I came in ❤️ Highly recommend this anytime someone is looking for great Mexican food!”
“Wait staff was excellent. Both steaks had to be taken back because they were raw, we asked for medium. when they returned with the steaks they were still not medium but we ate them anyways. The sides were 12 to 15 dollars a piece for about two scoops of food. The macaroni and cheese tasted like it came right out of the box and just had cheese sprinkled on it. There really was no flavor to the steaks. I did get the bernaise sauce which had a flavor of honey mustard, terrible. Fancy place but no quality with food. It took over an hour to get our food and we were there when it opened. We always went to the Barnsider and we wanted to try something new. I would have rather eaten at the Barnsider anyday over this.”
“First time having authentic chinese food. Loved every bite. Will definately be back.”
“Always have a good time here! Recommend this place 100% amazing service here💗”
“Excellent service! Great food! Reasonable prices. Morgan was a great waitress! Perfect dinner! Thank you!”
“Had a late lunch/early dinner yesterday. I ordered the “Langosta El Mariachi”. OMG!!! It was beyond delicious! The lobster tails were stuffed with shrimp and scallops with a creamy white sauce and cheese... the green beans seasoned perfectly with fresh garlic, the rice was cooked to perfection. The meal was perfectly plated and resembled a piece of art. I enjoyed every morsel. The lobster,shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant has a wonderful and warm ambiance and it is very clean. I highly recommend everyone to experience their own dining experience here. You won’t be disappointed. Thank You ElMariachi !!!!!”
“Great food and service! Grabbed a bite to eat after a wrestling tournament and we were seated right away. The sushi and ramen were delicious and there were lots of choices.”
“Perfect for business meals and client meetings. This upscale steakhouse offers exceptional service and masterfully prepared steaks in a sophisticated atmosphere.”
“*Green Book Safe*
I was immediately greeted and my order was taken.
Very courteous & professional. I was slightly early before the kitchen was open, yet was still proffered a menu.
One local behind the bar even provided insight to my newcomer experience.
Based on today's interaction, I would return and recommend.”
“Some of my co-workers brought me out to The Copper Crow for my birthday! It was a wonderful experience. • Nice host, prompt seating. • Attentive and knowledgeable server. • Extensive draft, cocktail & mocktail list. • Great food, good portions, cooked well. • Excellent desserts. I look forward to going back.”
“We hosted an amazing company holiday party at Loch & Quay. Great food, amazing staff, hopefully they can accommodate us again next year.”
“The Best Place I have ever worked for HANDS DOWN! Grateful for Management, they treat our team with respect, allow every team member to be themselves inside and out! Community, Neighbors, Local Small Business all supporting one another and coming together! Every Day Citizens, Everyone Pitching IN! 🇱🇷🦅😉 XXXOOO”
“Amazing staff, atmosphere, and overall great time! Seafood was to die for!”
“We performed there last night and had a wonderful experience! The staff is cool and the food is great! Special shout out to the sound tech, Kate, who was exceptional!”
“The bar & restaurant is an awesome place inside - super comfortable & welcoming - the food is FANTASTIC and so is the beer. (I haven't tried them all yet, but I'll work on it.) None of that is the best part though - the staff, management, the service are the best part. They really look out for you, and are just a great bunch of folks. We'll be back!”
“The food the atmosphere... Ali, the owner .... I’m speechless ... best Italian food , no other place exists around here ! You want to experience great food ? Go here !”
“Fantastic experience earlier this month having Sunday Brunch with my son and our American cousins at Lost & Found. This place is great! The real America, in Albany, away from the well-beaten tourist tracks. Friendly service, great menu, tasty food, and the proprietor is a gent - even let us get group photos on the stage as he hadn’t a band at the time! It was a wet Sunday but we just had a great family get together inside. Not that far from the city centre and worth finding. Very good value as well.”
“TapAsia Asian Tapas: Albany's Must-Try Hidden Gem!
Get ready, Albany! TapAsia Asian Tapas at 227 Lark St is a true hidden culinary treasure. The moment you walk in, the exceptional service and incredible comfort food create an unforgettable experience. Every authentic flavor bursts with perfection – “every bite tells the story!”
We started with the Gyoza, fried to perfection with a perfectly balanced soy-vinegar dipping sauce – pure deliciousness. For the main course, the PAD KRA PROW (THAI BASIL SAUCE) with extra chicken and medium spice was phenomenal. Be warned: medium is spicy, but the flavors were immaculate! Crispy veggies, al dente noodles, and succulent chicken all soaked in that incredible sauce, served with fluffy sticky rice. It’s perfect for any meal!
The service was truly outstanding – kind, fast, and incredibly attentive.
Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Okay so I didn’t go to the restaurant but I ordered the appetizer sampler and ramen online. It came in a cute package 🥰 and the food was great! I absolutely loved the sampler idea and the sauces were amazing. I haven’t dug into the ramen yet because I’m already full but I’m sure it is yummy. I will definitely have to try this place in person. Thank you!!”

She took all the orders, she waited through confusion. she repeated the menus, she was there popping in to see if we needed anything the entire time. Our guests all commented on the exceptional food and service. They deserve 10 stars!!! Highly recommend everyone go, just for the unique experience!

“Fantastic sushi! The "sushi for two" could easily be sushi for three, and the variety in that option is perfect for anyone with a mild tempermant in regards to flavoring and fish choices. Inviting and friendly environment, would highly recommend.
Parking: In a shopping center.”
“It’s a pleasure to eat in and takeout when needed. A friendly restaurant and atmosphere. Nice people all around, employees are kind and courteous and take of the customers. Thank you.”
“Had a birthday dinner here tonight. The vegan tapas are fabulous!!! We had the tempura sushi, rigatoni with vodka sauce, bruschetta, and zucchini fries- all absolutely delicious and good sized portions! The amaretto sours we chose were delicious and generously sized. The fried ice cream dessert was very good. Their chef is terrific - the flavors of the dishes were mouthwatering. Highly recommend Bar Vegan!”
“Great little watering hole! Friday nights they need more than just a bartender doing the cooking and bartending. Had to wait more than 15 min for a beer on 9/9/22. Typically it’s much faster service.”
“thank you Reggie for everything food was awesome and the best server Reggie”
“Food wasn't as great as I was hoping that it was going to be. It wasn't terrible by any means. I've just had better, no the décor and the place itself was fabulous. And the staff was great”
“Absolutely loved it was so delicious and was truly made with love i’ll definitely be returning”

“Love that it is close to the hospital and hotel. Have had several lunch and dinner items. Really need to add photos of their food. Especially like the pot stickers, firecracker shrimp, shrimp scampi skewers, ancient grains, onion rings, chicken tenders, and hamburgers.”
“Authentic, tasty and not afraid to give you the level of heat you ask for.”
“Its date night , so we stopped for dinner before the STYX concert and our waiter Shawn ( Sean?) was superb ! Ordered a Peach Bellini that was dynamite ! Like a frozen dessert ! Hubby had a pineapple mule that was stupendous also . The fish tacos were very good ...texture and taste were spot on . The fish and chips were excellent . The fried fish was delightfully light , not heavy . The coleslaw was bland but everything else was yummy . And finally, we had to get dessert . Decided on pineapple upside down cheesecake . Absolutely fabulously delicious!”
“A very nice area to come and enjoy the night. The inside is not too large but it includes a dance floor a bar and an outside balcony area. They serve hookah which was a nice and in the summer the patio allows for a good breeze. The drinks were well made and they change up the nights so you can definitely find something you will enjoy. The crowd can be young at times but I would definitely come back.”
“Love Tipsy! Always great food and great bartenders and waitresses!!!”

“A modest little Vietnamese restaurant with an extensive menu and very tasty offerings, Pho Yum is tucked into the corner of an anonymous strip mall on a busy 4 lanes highway. The automated tablet based menu, plastic utensils and paper table ware may be off-putting, but the charming help, the rich Pho soups and interesting selection of spring, summer and autumn rolls are definitely worth the visit.”
“Out of town working, read the reviews, previous review guy walks out because Fox News was on. I was all in. I wish there was more of him around. makes my visit that much more enjoyable . if you are looking for food this is the wrong place. If you’re looking to drink and hang out and have a good time, this is it. Darts pool, Jamison and Guinness and other beers but no Bud Light. Locals are extremely friendly ,met several new friends on the first visit”
“I now live in Texas , but every trip to Albany includes a trip to Miranda’s deli. The food is off the charts. The smoking hot chick who makes the sandwiches and the special-needs guy who runs the register are both Fantastic. There aren’t enough stars to rate this place.”
“I have been taking different kinds of medicine but yet no improvement until i saw testimonies on the internet of how Robinson buckler has been curing different people from different kinds of diseases, immediately i contacted him. After our discussion he prepared the medicine and send it to me, which i received and took according to his instructions. Now my doctor just confirmed me HSV2 negative. My heart is so filled with joy, thank you so much Robinson buckler for curing me.

“This place is amazing. I didn't know what to expect going in to the all you can eat restaurant. I was happily surprised that it's not buffet style. Servers and bussers. The restaurant is nicely styled and comfortable. The greeters and wait staff couldn't have been kinder or more professional. $28.99 is worth every penny just for that. The longest we had to wait between orders was no more than 5 minutes. The food was fresh, perfectly presented and absolutely delicious! I really can't find the superlatives to describe it. Everything combined made this experience one of the best outings I've ever had. I HIGHLY recommend this place.”
“Searching for places to eat in the local area and this place popped up. I don’t normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the food was absolutely exquisite. This place has good vegan options as well. The Dirty Little Birdy signature cocktail may be the best drink I’ve ever had! Just annoyed I had to share it. Coming back on Friday!”
“Drove past last night and noticed that they were opened. I have read online that their hours were a bit unpredictable, so it must have been my lucky day. Ordered the Gregorio personal pizza and was both satisfied and impressed. I often comment that after 30+ years in the capital district I do not have a "go to" pizza place; that may very well have just changed!”

“We had a great experience at LongHorn Steakhouse on Wolf Road. The food was solid,my steak was cooked perfectly, and the loaded baked potato hit the spot.
There was a small issue with the first glass of wine, but the bartender handled it like a pro,friendly, attentive, and didn’t hesitate to open a new bottle. The second glass was perfect, and I really appreciated that level of service.
All in all, a very pleasant visit, and we’d return without hesitation.”
“My husband is a breakfast connoisseur and said this is the best breakfast he has had ANYWHERE! The Rocky Mountain Benedict’s was delicious and the Cherry Amaretto pancakes were to die for!! The home is gorgeous and SAM was the best server, hostess all around amazing l person ever! This is a must go and eat when in Albany! 5+++++ stars!”
“I went to The Scene this morning with my daughter in law and two granddaughters It’s a very charming place with cute decor. The service was excellent. My DIL and one of my granddaughters ordered from the lunch menu — a delicious panino and a yummy wrap. My other granddaughter ordered the Nutella Waffle. It was amazing. Alas, I ordered the avocado toast and it was very disappointing. It was very skimpy — very little avocado on one slice of bread. No poached eggs or burratta on the side. No fresh fruit. Very boring. Just seemed like an afterthought. I’ll be returning but will never order the avocado toast again.”
“I recently visited Dave's Hot Chicken with my husband and best friend, and we were all so impressed! We ordered online for takeout, and the process was super easy and convenient. We spent a little over $30, and the food was ready right on time. Even after driving 20 minutes to get home, the food was still piping hot and delicious! Monica, who's usually picky, got her meal exactly how she wanted it, and the quality was outstanding. Although there was a slight wait when we picked up, the staff was really friendly, and the food was well worth it. Highly recommend Dave’s Hot Chicken for great food and a smooth ordering experience!”
“Ny friends and I met in Albany to celebrate after finishing up the paperwork for retirement from NY State employment. The appointment ran a bit later than expected but the restaurant was still able to accommodate us for a late lunch. Its such a nice, eclectic space and menu! Top notch service from our friendly, knowledgeable waitress. A great meal!”
“This place is a total gem! The vibe is amazing, with a clean and organized space, cool memorabilia, and great music playing in the background. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help. The food is not only delicious but also incredibly affordable, and it comes out piping hot and fast. The self-serve drink dispenser is a huge plus, offering a wide range of options. And the best part? The soda actually tastes like real soda, not just sugary syrup. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience, this place is a must-try!”

“We can’t say enough about this place! My boyfriend and I had our first date here so it’s very special to us. We had a gender reveal here back in November and they brought out ice cream with blue sprinkles and sang to us. I went there yesterday; bought a slice of cheesecake and asked if they could put a candle in it and bring it out as a surprise for mine and my boyfriends 1 year anniversary. Not only did they do this but they also gave us an “anniversary” discount. Thank you for helping us make our special dinners even more special with your cooperation. ❤️”
“I cannot believe this is my first time trying their cuisine! SO good and authentic. I need to have all the things! very flavorful, great portion sizing. 5☆! Banana sticky rice, coconut pudding, mango sticky rice, papaya salad, pad thai, thai iced tea, peanut lovers dish! All amazingly good! Delivery is worth it! Thank you♡”
