Restaurants in Albany

“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.”

“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!”

“The experience was AMAZING! The staff were super friendly and professional. The vibes are great too, and if you are a fan of Kpop , then you will enjoy the music as you do the Korean BBQ or Hot Pot experience. I would highly recommend doing the all you can eat option!”

“Doesn’t look as nice on the outside but the inside is beautiful. Great ambience and the service was impeccable. But what really makes this place pop, is the incredible food. They have a unique presentation style and everything we tried was delicious. Definitely at the top of my list for Indian cuisine. A must try and there is a Groupon for $15 off!”

“This place rules. Their food rules, their staff rules, the owner rules, but MOSTLY, THEIR FOOD RULES! Excellent spot for food and drinks before a show at Empire, or at one of their pop ups around the capital district!”

“A southern brunch that was so good. 4 of us went to celebrate a birthday and we all enjoyed it immensely. I had the Dad and it was absolutely delicious. We loved the fried green tomatoes, and the tater tots. I had a bourbon bacon bloody Mary that was out of this world. I can't wait to go back!Parking: Street parking was available and they have a lot behind the building.”

“This brewery has delicious food, excellent beer and a fun environment! It's bright and open with lots of real plants scattered around. They also offer you a one-time free Uber ride home to encourage smart drinking decisions. We took advantage of that and really appreciated it! Just scan the QR code stuck up on some of the walls to get the Uber voucher offer.”

“Gorgeous little gem of a store. Their employees are incredibly nice and friendly, and the yuzu egg tart in particular is a creamy delight. I'd love to try the chocolate one if I can ever get there in time, because they rightfully sell out of tarts quickly.”

“DELICIOUS….every dish on the buffet has its own unique flavor! The sweet chili chicken, cheese grits with shrimp, ribs, collards, steamed garlic broccoli…all great. The tres leches is amazing. Give it a try!!!”

“well seasoned fries and delectable sauce. I like how they add extra pickes on the side. the chicken is nicely seasoned and perfectly crispy. I recommend the sliders they are very tasty. Overall satisfied”

“Emack in Albany is a wonderful venue - for a quick cone or a meet up with friends. Orah has done an incredible job making this a fun & inviting space for all who walk in the door! Looking forward to the music on the summer stage :)”

“Amazing beer selection and the menu has so many great things on it. Be sure to have the pretzel appetizers and if you love lobster their lobster roll is amazing.”

“The food was awesome and our waitress Alivia made the whole experience. Her knowledge of wine paired with food was superb and her attentiveness to our table was excellent. I will highly recommend this establishment to my friends and will return in the future”

“I have known about the Ragonese Imports since I was a child. The Ragonese Imports have great food because I can smell the foods while I'm waiting for the bus. I promised myself that I will return when I have the money. Forgive me for not returning sooner.”

“I live in NYC was in Albany for work. The Yard was recommended by a friend. The atmosphere was great. The bar was beautiful. There is a spot where you throw axe. The experience was new but quite relaxed and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend”

“I recently hosted an event at Villa di Como Ristorante through my job, and everything was absolute perfection -- the food, the drinks, their team, the atmosphere. Our guests complimented it all throughout the night. The staff was warm, welcoming, flexible, and collaborative. It was a memorable and enjoyable evening. Highly recommended!”

“My daughter and I went here for lunch while on trip to Albany. The food and service was excellent. I had the special, prime rib sandwich and my daughter the grilled cheese and tomato bisque. Perfect portion sizes for the meals.”

“First time in Athos and YOU have to go! A small, local restaurant that provides great service and food. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and makes great recommendations. The grilled octopus was exceptional, with excellent quality and taste. The ambiance is a welcoming and charming setting. They made us feel comfortable and provided us with an unforgettable experience.”

“Excellent food, great service. Interesting place, definitely with a vintage vibe. We are from out of town, visited on recommendation. We loved it! If back in area, will visit again. Definitely make reservations in advance. There is street parking, and restaurant states you can park in municipal lot next to restaurant. Lot has a sign stating $10, but not sure if money collected at night though. We parked pretty easily on the street.”

“Great food! We had a reservation for 20 people. Called Tuesday for Friday night and they were able to accommodate. Gave a special treatment and treated us like family. Decor is very inviting and a great time had by all! The fillet was amazing as well as the dessert! I look forward to come back again for a true taste of Italy.”

“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!”

“We have brunch at the city beer hall, pretty much every week. I am famous for having the same meal every time. The steak and eggs. The steak is always cooked perfectly medium rare. The eggs are sunny side up and delicious. Home fries and a side salad round out the perfect breakfast. My partner also always orders the same meal. Fried chicken with macaroni and cheese. When we go for dinner If you are a French onion soup fan I have a huge suggestion. The French onion soup is what I call a "destination dish " It is a delicious change from the norm. The service is always fast and friendly. The staff is knowledgeable. We have been customers here since the first week and will continue to be. The bar area, the dining room with its communal tables, the patio in the summer time. This has been our go to place for the past 13 years. Keep up the great work, the food, the hospitality, the overall experience is what a beer hall should be.”

“Really great, authentic Chinese food. Most was just good but there were two standouts for me. One was the spicy wonton and the other was pork belly buns. They were really exceptional. I could make a meal out of 2 orders of spicy wontons! Need to go back to see what else is good.”

“I had an amazing experience at ama cocina! The service was exceptional, earning a solid 5 stars for drinks, music, and presentation! The staff really went above and beyond to make the dining experience memorable. I'll definitely be back for more!Located in Downtown Albany, ama cocina offers a fresh and funky twist on modern Mexican street food. Their mission to encompass the three most important elements of life - food, laughter, and love - truly shines through in every aspect of the dining experience.From the moment you sit down, you'll notice the attention to detail, both in the ambiance and the food presentation. Eating with your hands and engaging with your neighbors creates a communal atmosphere reminiscent of the "table-talk" days, where bonds were formed over good food and conversation.Don't forget to relax and laugh while you're here - the staff at ama cocina will take care of the rest. It's evident that there's a lot of thought, fun, and love put into every dish served at ama. Welcome to their kitchen, where every meal is prepared with care and passion.”

“This is a really fun karaoke bar! The staff are super nice, reasonable prices. Amazing song selection. The only thing that would make this place better is a decent pub menu, like wings, fries, burgers, ect. So if you are renting a room for a party, don't expect much in the way of food options. Still giving it 5 stars.”

“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.”

“Had a wonderful meal. Pinot Grigio was cold and crisp, eggplant app was a perfect vessel for the soft pita. Lamb came out hot and so tender and flavorful. Def will be back”

“Long time patron first time reviewing. Mr, D's is consistently good and reliable. The drunken clams and lobster bisque are two of the highlights on the menu. They also have outstanding onion rings. Happy hour starts at 4:30pm.”

“It’s a nice vibe in there. Lots of different types of people and I like the layout of the place. My only thing is that it was really warm in the bathroom like uncomfortably so, but it wasn’t that big a deal, just something I remember noticing. Live music is fire ? I can’t speak on the food I didn’t get any but the mixed drinks were type strong . I would return. Bartenders were quick and friendly enough.”

“Our waitress was really amazing. Bummed that I didn't get her name to shout her out. Came here with a party of 11 and was seated immediately. The monkey bread was my favorite. The wings were decent. Food portion sizes were HUGE. Lively crowd but not too noisey. Enjoyed my time”

“Just tried your new reduced calorie Italian bread. Absolutely awesome. Always watching my calorie intake and being a very passionate bread lover, I tried your bread and went back to the store and bought three additional loaves for our family. This is NOW OUR BREAD OF CHOICE!!! Thank you for such a wonderful product. Joy Hamilton”

“Check this out. If you go on Grubhub you will see that the reviews of the food and service are fantastic. The reason: They're fantastic. Try them you will see this is the BEST Chinese downtown.”

“Look, they are in the hospital, they have a hard job, because tons of people are coming through on their worst days. They have always been so polite and exceptional. This morning, the app charged me, but somehow it didn't come through on their computer. They checked my app receipt, and immediately took care of my order. I enjoy coming here. They are fast and most importantly, exceptionally polite and understanding.”

“Kid-friendliness: yes. the playland has unusually strict policies, procedures and protocols and is open from 9 am until 7 pm, but is open on weekends and holidays, too. Everything is apparently disinfected on the regular. I believe these strict antimicrobial protocols are due to the extreme proximity of the FBI Albany location onWheelchair accessibility: yes. Not an issue here. Totally accessible for people with and without disabilities.”

“First time visitor. Food was delicious. Staff was attentive, friendly. Would absolutely return to try more options. The lunch buffet is a step above others in the area.”

“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!”

“Food was amazing. I highly recommed this place. Ingredients were fresh and delicious. I had the Mantu as an appetizer. Dumplings were perfectly steamed and the meat was seasoned to perfection. My entree was Beef Kofta platter with a Lamb kabob on the side. If you are looking for something different and delicious, this is the place to go.”

“Friendly,clean,I definitely will go there more often now since I found out this place sale my favorites eggs tarts ,not to many desserts places have egg tarts plus they are delicious one of my favorites dessert ???”

“We have been enjoying Fatty's for the last couple of weeks. we have been ordering from a third party delivery service .I noticed they wrote me a nice note thanking me for the order but also suggesting a call to the store for delivery . I was so impressed that they would rather me save money than going through a third party delivery service . unfortunately I don't live within there delivery range but such a great gesture . The pizza and smash burgers are out of this world . I would recommend the Buffalo chicken pizza and burgers to anyone . Thanks again”

“I've lived here my entire life passed this place a thousand times and finally went in...one of life's regrets is not trying to sooner. Everything was perfect from the second you walk in.I had the Veal Luciana, hands down the best I've ever had. This is one of my top dish life time. You have to give them a try. The house salad was also out of this word, I could have got two of those and been satisfied with my meal. Simply delicious.Great service and quick food delivery. Everything and everyone was on point.Prices were right on with what you get for a meal. Excellent flavor.”

“Cheesecake Machismo has truly transformed the traditional cheesecake. Their incredibly deep selection changes every day and they are always developing new and unique flavors. I have tried at least 25 different kinds and enjoyed them all. The Kaiju was fantastic and I love the blueberry maple. Do yourself a favor and check it out! Also the dynamic duo behind the counter are so friendly and provide awesome customer service. 5 stars, will definitely go back, often, forever.”

“I grew up eating homemade banh mi, and was very impressed with this shop, which makes authentic tasty banh mi on fresh bread.They have some innovative options, especially the french-dip style banh mi, and have managed to innovate without losing sight of the traditional flavor of the banh mi.It's a great size for a lunch portion, a little small for dinner.When I accidentally chose the wrong pick-up time in UberEats, they were very kind to help me fix it, rather than tell me to come back later.Support this great local business!”

“I absolutely love Gong Cha for their bubble tea! No matter which location I visit (tried it at 4 different countries!), the flavors never fail to impress. The storefront here is clean, glad to see the sushi was made right there. The cashier is friendly, very knowledgeable and was quick to whip up our drinks. Would recommend”

“I visit there about 4-5 times a month to grab a bite to eat, I usually get the lasagna dinner or their hot subs. Hands down the best in the area. The staff is always friendly and helpful. when in the area a must stop it won't disappoint!”

“Loved my breakfast at Jack's Diner. Ordered pupusas from the Specials Menu that includes Salvadorian and Mexican selections. Also. the coffee is very good. Check out the menu on the online ordering link. 5 Stars”

“Mouth-watering and thoughtful menu with creative, nuanced and seasonal inspirations for both food and beverage options. I was very impressed by the shishito peppers, general tso’s chicken bites, french dip and the espresso martini. The apps were perfectly battered, crispy and flavorful. The French dip just hit so right- tender meat, savory au jus, warm, perfectly toasted bread. The fries were perfect- exactly what you’d imagine if you are craving fries! And the highlight of our entire night was our bartender Halsey. Her genuine care in curating our experience cannot be matched. She made great suggestions, interjected with playful humor, read when our group wanted time to chat amongst ourselves, and made a PHENOMENAL cocktail. I mean, the most serious espresso martini anyone could hope for without the overstated hipster flair. 10/10. Would go back just for her. Watching her interact with her other bar guests was also a treat- it’s easy to see how she can command the room & keeps a mighty fine bar! Will certainly be back!”

“Best diner in Albany, serves great coffee! They are cash only, but this is okay because their prices are good. I only wish they were open in the evenings for supper time.”

“I have been hearing about Tara Kitchen on NPR, and was finally in the area today, and able to check it out. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was wonderful. the wait staff were super attentive, tables and chairs comfy, ambiance was cozy. Most importantly, the food was delicious and portions were very generous! Please bring Tara Kitchen to the mid-Hudson Valley!”

“Best halal food in Albany. I’ve been hooked since I discovered them. One thing I love is their chicken is freshly made. Its not sitting behind a glass like most stores, and best customer service.”

“My father use to take me to Ted’s when I was a youngster I enjoy taking my youngsters there As well It is a great place exellent food and has been a place to enjoy for me for along long time thank you for your longevity much love”

“Been seeing the shop. Finally ordered tonight. Chicken parm sub and a buffalo chicken wrap. Fresh ingredients. Hand cut fries. Excellent. Now my go to for to go.”

“I frequent this establishment and I love the staff and food here. I usually order for pick up and the timing is always right. If he say 15 minutes it will be ready in 15 minutes. I never have to wait for my food when I arrive. The sauce on the pizza is never to sweet, and the crust is always perfect. It's not too crowded, and there is seating available also.Parking: Huge parking lot.Kid-friendliness: No loud/offensive music.Wheelchair accessibility: More than enough space for wheelchair accessibility.”

“Stop by and see Ms. Gwen at Ms. Lizzie's Kitchen! You will not be sorry that you came. My favorite is the fried haddock with cheese grits for breakfast ????”

“It was kind of busy and one customer was having a bit of a problem with her card. The cashier was great in helping her. No one seemed impatient and sympathized with her. Once that problem was solved everything moved right along. I had taken out so I can't really say about the dining area. It was clean and everyone seemed to be enjoying their lunch.I realize that it's not located in the best area because of the parking situation. You're lucky to get a spot. A couple of customers had to park along the curb.I was at the hospital to bring my husband a roast beef sandwich and the nurse surprised me saying that she didn't know that there were any Arby's around. We need one up where I live. I miss it.Parking: Due to its location I can't see how they could improve it.”

“This Chinese Northern Eastern style restaurant is generally rated 4.5 stars, and being in Albany bumps it up to 5 stars.Must-try: five-color Chinese salad (五彩大拉皮)Recommendation: fried eggplant with minced pork (肉沫茄子) and the stir-fried taro with sugar coat (翻沙芋头).Food: I've visited twice and tried the five-color Chinese salad, fried eggplant with minced pork, stir-fried taro with sugar coat, stewed baby chicken with Chinese mushrooms (小鸡炖蘑菇), and stewed pork bones with bean sauce (酱大骨). The five color salad is a delightful mix of mung bean noodles, vegetables, and a standout sauce. The "mino" (a traditional Chinese raincoat makes out of straw) eggplant dish showcases the chef's skill, with the eggplant sliced thinly and connected. The sugar-coated taro was surprisingly good, tastier than the candied version. While the stewed pork bones with bean sauce and stewed baby chicken were decent, the pork bones are not leg bones and the chicken portion in the soup was small.Note: They offer a discount for cash payments.Parking: free parking in the plaza parking lot.”

“Very friendly staff that greet you and seem very happy to take your order. The food is very fresh and the tables were very clean. Out of all the different locations I have been to I would say this one is by far the best!”

“I am so glad they have the fish available all year round! The sandwich was decent but it is what it is, after all, it is fast food.The staff was awesome!!!!!!?They were friendly, accommodating, and happy, even singing. I have never been in a nicer BK, they made each customer feel special.”

“This location was good, but it's a tight pull in on a busy street. Went inside to order it wasn't crowded, there was parking. The staff was nice and friendly. They didn't mess up the order or the food, and it was clean inside. They have a new churro donut that's supposed to taste like churros, I guess, but it doesn't. It tastes like one of those old fashion cinnamon sugar donuts, except it has a fancy shape. Like, c'mon, dd you know dang well that doesn't taste like a churro. lol maybe if they had like a caramel drizzle on it ? then maybe, but yeah, no Anywho, it's dunkin donuts what else is there to explain.”

“Current staffing is wonderful! Just saw a nice young man, volunteer and gladly help an old woman bring things to her car. It was the sweetest, nicest kindest thing I’ve seen all day.”

“Updated review: my review from last year was a one star, nothing but bad things to say. Recently my husband and I have been going back to this one due to always being in the area. This new crew they have are on point. Drinks are always good, staff is friendly and talkative, if mistakes happen they happily handle it, it’s a complete 180 from how things were last year. We’re happy to come to this one now and it’s one of our top three favorite ones in the area.”

“it's the best morning restaurant in my opinion I love it and I love the service and I highly recommend the vanilla bean colada and the croissants are delicious thank you.”

“Back in Albany and loving my Dunkin'. Whenever I am back in Austin Texas for a bit, people often ask me what I miss from Albany. Two things, NY Pizza and Dunkin' Donuts. I grew up on Dunkin' in Michigan, and didn't realize how much I missed it after 20 years in Texas until I moved to Albany. They are all over the place, and because of their size their offerings are decent, consistent, and tasty. I can always rely on the coffee tasting great. Not like other high end places that sometimes burn the coffee. Plus their donuts and food are always fresh and hot. The best part is, you won't burn a hole in your wallet, especially if using their mobile order app which is great. I just tried this one, which you can miss since it is in a gas station. The service was fast and food good. Loving my Dunkin'.”

“I only like ordering my hero’s from Pellegrinos in Albany New York. I come from Troy to get that good good food and that good good service. Thank you!Parking: Thanks again!”

“Delicious wood fired pizza in Albany area. So good we took another one to eat at home. Simple and small place but very friendly staff. High quality ingredients! Highly recommend if you like Neapolitan style pizza”

“Mala Fish Slices Rice Noodles: Very generous portions with the perfect amount of spiciness, lots of vegetables & noodles and the soft fish fillets paired perfectly with the broth.The Taiwanese fried chicken was also a 10/10! They somehow fried the chicken flawlessly with the appropriate amount of crunchiness and seasoning. It tasted good alone and with the sauce (I think it was sweet chili?) provided as well. I wish I had a photo of it, but I stomach got to it before my camera.”

“Mary had the Loaded Nachos, Terri had the Irish Nachos and I went with the Hamburger and Fries. Best Fries I have had in a long time and plenty of them. Large portion of Nachos. Will be back that's for sure.”

“My wife and I have been looking for a good breakfast spot to eat. We have move up here from the city. We use to go to the famous Katz deli to get a pastrami sandwich. We decided to come here to get a pastrami sandwich. Let me tell you I felt like I was at Katz Maurice pastrami sandwich was just as good and really tasty. We found a great spot that we will be definitely revisiting again. I highly recommend this place ?.”

“Best falafel I've had, and I have tried many different Mediterranean restaurants in my travels. I also like the atmosphere of this place; the subdued lighting adds a romantic feeling. I would definitely go there again!”

“Their bread and specials were delicious and the freshest when on Central Av . Can't wait to get down to Colonie Center and try their sandwiches and soups!”

“me and my wife took our daughter and her friend to see a show last night at the MVP. we didn't attend the show. but we got dinner across the road and the food and service was great! Highly recommended!”

“I placed 2 large orders for work events in the last 2 weeks. The food is absolutely delicious. Everyone was raving about Rose’s antipasto salad. The ordering and delivery was easy, timely and convenient. I highly recommend. Food and customer service top notch!”

“Pastry heaven! This is my absolute favourite bakery! The staff is amazing, the pastries are beyond phenomenal!! Their cinnamon buns are so soft, fluffy and flavourful - hands down the best Ive ever had! Pricing is great! HIGHLY recommended!”

“Food is hot and fresh. The sauces are not that spicy but taste really good. Veggies are fresh, the staff is always kind and helpful if you have questions about the menu. And I love the cleanliness of the restaurant. Also the flavored teas are amazing.”

“Food was absolutely AMAZING. Got the chicken tacos, beef steak empanada, and they gave me a tres leches on the house (def add the strawberry). Super friendly staff and the prices are more than fair”

“Best hidden treasure in the Captial region. The food was so good. Worth the small time to wait. It's hidden in an office building. It's middle eastern food. I had a beef Ruben and my wife a Gyro. Even the fries were fabulous.”

“I’ve only ever ordered on DoorDash (I’m a bit of a homebody) but I was BLOWN AWAY by how good their sushi burritos are! Easily the best sushi I’ve had. All of the ingredients taste so fresh, even after the 15-20 minute drive to my house! I’m not a huge tea fan, but love popping bobas, so I just order it with extra sugar! Today, I tried their macarons and they were also unbelievably delicious. I am so glad to have this restaurant as an option in my city!”

“Welcome to the local breakfast/lunch spot in Albany’s “midtown neighborhood.” The only place that is consistently open 7days per week (6a weekdays, 7a weekends). Great for meetings, quick bites on your way to work (always easy parking early am) or a place to hang out “central perk/“friends style. Everybody will know your name in no-time.”

“My dad and I stopped here while going up to Vermont for a ski weekend. One of the employees was cleaning the bathroom and stopped to let him use the restroom and made he sure had everything he needed. The restaurant was also exceptionally clean. One of the very few places you actually see employees cleaning nowadays!”

“A wonderful breakfast spot convenient to hotels, SUNY, and the state house. Super friendly service, classic breakfast menu, good prices. I was so happy i accidentally found it when looking for a Dunkin. And they'll do a to-go coffee cup for you.”

“We ordered online, then waited almost 20-30 minutes after our pickup time for our order. Then when we got home our orders were not right. We were missing sauses and cheese on our burgers, and it was too late to go back and get it.”

“Food was excellent. The service was great. Atmosphere was nice. I had paella was wonderful. My wife had red snapper my friend had to steak. Everything was great.”

“I've lived here my entire life passed this place a thousand times and finally went in...one of life's regrets is not trying to sooner. Everything was perfect from the second you walk in.I had the Veal Luciana, hands down the best I've ever had. This is one of my top dish life time. You have to give them a try.

Everything and everyone was on point.Prices were right on with what you get for a meal. Excellent flavor.”

“As soon as I walked in there was very welcoming people. As I was looking at the menu, there was a Mac & Cheese pizza which showed me that there was lots of creativity when making food. I also ordered 10 wings that were cooked perfectly to my liking. After all, Pizzaroni is very welcoming with very exceptional food.”

“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 love the wings here . They are always fresh, crispy and full of flavor. The signature sauce is so addicting. The meals are really good to and reasonably priced. I'd recommend coming down here .”

“My go to lunch spot in concourse. A little on the expensive side. And ordering online is a 30 min wait. The strawberry fields is the best!Kid-friendliness: take out”

“Gorgeous little gem of a store. Their employees are incredibly nice and friendly, and the yuzu egg tart in particular is a creamy delight. I'd love to try the chocolate one if I can ever get there in time, because they rightfully sell out of tarts quickly.”

“Mouth-watering and thoughtful menu with creative, nuanced and seasonal inspirations for both food and beverage options. I was very impressed by the shishito peppers, general tso’s chicken bites, french dip and the espresso martini. The apps were perfectly battered, crispy and flavorful.

“Delicious wood fired pizza in Albany area. So good we took another one to eat at home. Simple and small place but very friendly staff. High quality ingredients! Highly recommend if you like Neapolitan style pizza”

“Very nice upscale cozy restaurant with lots of choices I got the special Chilean sea bass with risotto, lobster mac n cheese and creamy kale with paramsean cheese. The banana creme bruele was amazing also.”

“If you are a carnivore, you will be in meat heaven. Awesome spot for a date. Go on payday cause it ain't cheap and hungry but you get your moneys worth. Staff is amazing with good attention to details”

“We stopped here on a whim, with our family of 6. Prices were a little high for what we got. Half of us loved their meal, the other half, not so much and we are pretty fond of this type of food. The atmosphere was very nice, very clean throughout(including the spotless bathrooms), the waitstaff and hostesses were super friendly and wonderful. We did not feel rushed, and felt we were "checked on" the perfect amount of time and water was refilled without asking. The tacos, were excellent, Churros with dipping sauces was the favorite thing, though. We will go back to try different items. And for the churros.Parking: Handicap spots just by the doorLarge parking lot om the far end of the buliding.Kid-friendliness: They did have a kid menu, but we didn't view it. Very nice staff and service was great.Wheelchair accessibility: Has wheelchair accessibility to get into the building, plenty of seating to accommodate and wheelchair accessible bathroom.”

“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!”

“As I plan to visit a friend in Albany, I can't help but to screatly hope she wants to go have dinner here. We went last year for her birthday and l was highly impressed. This establishment gives everything you would hope for in an upscale steakhouse. We went here on a Saturday evening as a party of 3. We had drinks, appetizers, a full meal, and dessert. My Ribeye was cooked to perfection, and the sides were so big they could have been shared. The waitstaff was very sophisticated and friendly. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu. I would recommend going here if you have something to celebrate or if you would like to impress someone. Not often, I give a place a 5/5.”

“We enjoyed the food, but the waitress treated us differently than the white customers at two nearby tables, which made our most recent dining experience uncomfortable. While she warmly greeted those tables, she approached us with a cold demeanor, despite our smiles. We had to hurry our order to avoid her negativity.”

“Dee was fabulous. Very concerned with the allergies the birthday person had and was so understanding with our spills. Food was delish and we love the atmosphere. Thank you Dee for being so good at what you do.”

“I will say I really enjoyed the game portion of the Dave and busters. I feel they are priced just right to have hours of fun. I don’t recommend the food portion of Dave and busters due to long wait times. We ordered drinks took a bit and then order nachos and a Philly cheesesteak. The waitress was amazing when she was around even helping with allergies but wasn’t seen much. I am willing to give the food section another chance in the future but the wow factor was definitely the games”

“I enjoyed the restaurant, the steak was very good, I didn't care for the crab cake. The salad and vegetables were outstanding. I could have made a meal from the vegetables by themselves. Our server was polite and very knowledgeable. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.”

“Everything was on point good cooks out hot and season well waiters itiala really polite and knows how to handle all customers before leaving table eye to eye contact on time with everything I can’t thank her enough for great ”

“Thank you for making a beautiful large crisp BLT WEDGE SALAD. Nothing is wilted. Very large serving. I have been looking for my perfect wedge salad for years. Thank you for meeting all my requirements!”

“So good. Very fresh. Edamame was warm and tender and perfectly seasoned. Rolls were delicious. Love anything with spicy salmon inside and they have some excellent special rolls with spicy salmon in them. Great service too. It’s a little bright in there, that’s the only thing I didn’t like. Also very loud, but you could expect that considering it’s a busy, popular place.”

“LOVE the atmosphere. The Food and drinks are always great. And the service is excellent. My husband, Our friends and i made our first visit a few months ago, and had Mac as our waiter. very welcoming and knowledgeable. He even remembered us a couple weeks later.Kudosl”

“Tremendous pizza and wings. Good appetizers and dinners as well. Fresh Italian bread.The bar has a neighborhood feel with many tv sets for sports.Our waitress, Stephanie, was attentive and friendly.”

“We just had a private party for 40 here and they really exceeded expectations across the board. The food was fantastic and interesting for a buffet line, the service from the coordinator/server and bartender was really excellent, the beer selection was world class, and it was a cool interesting old building. For food we had chicken parm (really good), a great braised (?) pork dish, a large salad that was artfully presented, and the green beans and asparagus were perfectfully lightly charred, everyone was commenting on them. Only downsides were the unexpected step down into the bar, & chairs up on tables in the unused front bar. They are really well organized for private parties with extensive menus and prices posted online. Very impressed”
