“First visit here on Fri 1/12/24 5:45pm. Busy place as expected on a Friday after work on this eclectic stretch of New Scotland Ave. You need to be very good to keep up with the competition is this neighborhood. This place lives up to it's reputation. We got one seat at the bar and then the woman next to us moved down a seat (table S3) after her friend couldn't meet her. Thank you Ms. The bartender, "Retail U" on the receipt, brought menus and we had a drink before ordering. A chardonnay ($9) & a draft 23 Edward ($8). I had 3 Wellfleet oysters ($3ea). Four choices on the chalkboard this evening. Cold, briny, juicy, & delicious. My bride had the tomato basil soup ($8) Served hot, zesty w/ "croutons" which is a small grilled cheese sandwich cubed on the soup-innovative idea. And also the loaded panzanella salad ($14). Big serving that she took half of home. I had a very good bacon cheddar brat served with some extra crisp potato chips ($10). And then another order of drinks for dessert. This place is fun & funky in an urban neighborhood of like business halfway between two large hospitals. It draws a crowd. This place has good service, good food & drink, & is a good value. It does the important things right. And how does the cook crew operate so efficiently in that tiny kitchen? Way to go. Open everyday 12-9pm. On the street parking available but hard to find during happy hour. The best parking is the free lot behind the businesses. Very good first experience and we will return. Thank you. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY”

““Spectacular give me 14 of them.” Everything was great. Their galaxy lemonade mocktail was genius. The course was wonderfully crafted and I enjoyed myself the entire time. Each piece was delivered at the perfect time and flavors played well with each other. Ever since I came back from Japan I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get that same feeling from sushi until now.”

“We made our first visit to Nicole's on Sat 1/06/2024 5:15pm. After visiting the Schuyler Mansion's Twelfth Night celebration we decide to go to nearby Nicole's on Delaware Ave in Albany, NY. It was quiet when we first arrived but quickly filled up with many diners & the big party upstairs. Nicole's is larger than it appears. A 10 seat bar with about a dozen table in the adjoining dining room. There is also a cosy dining area with a fireplace through a doorway on the first floor. The reserved party room upstairs holds 25-35 people. Plenty of wait staff on deck. We sat at the bar where we were greeted by Katie V. We ordered a Glenlivet neat ($13) & a house pinot grigio ($10) while we looked over the menu. Katie told us the specials. She was very busy as the restaurant was filling up quickly. Reservations are a must on Fri & Sat. She was quickly & deftly making many fancy cocktails & pouring wines for the bar, both dining rooms, & the party upstairs. A true professional and kept up an entertaining banter with patrons & staff. We shared three appetizers from the specials menu. The unique crispy artichokes hearts w/ an aioli dip ($10) was a perfectly prepared & served. My bride had the Italian onion soup ($10) - Fontina | Mozzarella | Short Rib | Italian Bread | Thyme Rosemary- deep rich flavor & piping hot. I had the Gnudi & veal ($18) - Gnudi are gnocchi made w/ ricotta cheese, not pasta, served w/ the braised short ribs. Another unique, & excellent dish. Check out their inspired menu. No room for desserts but they all looked sized for sharing. A friendly neighborhood restaurant with flair and a loyal clientele. Thank you to Katie V. for excellent & entertaining service. Nice trick with the cocktail shaker. LOL. Dinners range from $19 for pappardelle & meatballs to $38 for Zuppa di Pesce. Monday: 5pm-9pm, Tue: closed, Wed-Thu 5-9pm, Fri-Sat 5-10pm, Sun 4-9pm. Plenty of parking in their side lot & some on the street parking. A great first experience. Highly recommended. Thank you again to Katie V & a big thanks to the kitchen staff - a great job tonight. We certainly will be back frequently in the future. Nicola & Liz, Albany, NY USA”

“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”

“The only word to define this place is exemplary. This place from appetizer to dessert has knocked me off my feet.
1) My friend and I got the calamari for the appetizer. It was perfectly tender, crispy, and the Pomodoro that was served with it was excellent.
2) for the main I got the frutti di mare, or fruits of the sea. It was a pasta dish including shrimp, calamari, octopus, in a richly flavored tomato sauce with pasta that was perfectly al-dente. This dish was incredibly delicious and satisfying but without being heavy. My friend got the steak which she liked a lot.
3) After an exemplary main, I did not expect to be blown away as much as I did with the cheesecake. It was light, fluffy, and a mix of ricotta and lemon, as well as evidence of cream cheese. Overall it was moist, incredibly flavorful, sweet, but not too sweet, and probably the best cheesecake I have had in the state. This dessert took me out from left field to be honest. I did not expect it to be THAT good.
Overall, service was great, food was next level. Placing this on my roster of “impress guests” restaurants. 10/10”

Waitress took our order and we had food at our table in less than 10 minutes. The food was amazing! We got dessert and the waitress heard it was my birthday and put a candle in my ice cream without anyone asking. Really a sweet touch. Great experience and would visit again!”

“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.”
Asian Fusion • $$
“Lovely Thai food cooked by lovely craft Chef.
As a Thai person in town I would say this is beyond standard. the food is very delicious and you can feel that made fresh and craft from the kitchen. Good amount of spices and flavorful the style is great with Tapas style so you can share a small bites or main dishes are big good amount portion, and they have a very big menu including options for vegan and vegetarian. The atmosphere is lovey very cozy and comfortable seats. Love this place very recommended ?

The atmosphere is nice and the menu is huge which I don't mind. The tea should have been served in tea cups not glass cups. Keep up the good work. It's a new sushi restaurant so it will take time for them to improve. Come on in and try them out.”

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 !!!!!”

“We were struggling to find a late night restaurant that’s kid friendly and Google pulled up Ruby City. We hit the gas and ran straight there in hopes we’d make it in time for dinner. Not only did we have such an incredible meal, but we were entertained and fell in LOVE with Yuki! The food won us over instantly, and we’ll be back just to hang out and laugh with her again! Usually when you’re the last table in the door so close to closing time, you feel like a burden. But the entire staff made us feel so welcome and assured us we could take our time and enjoy ourselves. The food came out so fast and we basically inhaled it, it was that good! If I could have made more room in my stomach to keep eating I absolutely would have tried. We plan on coming back early next time to enjoy the all you can eat options. Thank you so much for such amazing food and even better company!”

“Went there for trivia and a few drinks. It was a hopping’ scene. Inside was packed and it was open to the air outside with some tables out there as well. Big tables for larger crowds playing trivia as well. Beer selection was good and the wait staff was friendly. Got the feeling that there were good, light-hearted people running this place.
Parking: I had to park behind the place, maybe a 6 minute walk. Found a lot tucked back in there. I was a little late to trivia, so if I had been earlier, it would have been easier.”

“I recently visited this old college bar on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised to find it open with a new owner at the helm. As someone who frequented this spot back in the day, I have to say, I was nostalgic walking through those doors again.The atmosphere was buzzing with energy, and it felt like a blast from the past. While the bar may have changed hands, the spirit of the place remains the same. What truly made my night memorable was the bartender—who was not only super dope but also added to the vibe with their friendly demeanor and excellent service.It's clear that there's potential for this bar to come back to life like it was 10+ years ago. With the right vision and dedication from the new owner, I have high hopes for its revival. I'd love to see it become a go-to spot once again, where old memories are cherished and new ones are made.Here's to the future of this beloved establishment!”

“We made a reservation for The Fountain Restaurant on Fri 1/13/23 for 5:30pm.This place is always busy. And has been a neighborhood go to for many years. The Romano family has won their customers' loyalty with great service & consistently good pizza. We were early and there were two seats open at the bar. So the bartender Tony moved our reservation to there. The bar works nicely for us here. Thanks Tony. We ordered a wine ($7) & a local craft beer,Jack's Abbey on draft ($9) while we looked over the menu. The Fountain makes great pizza, but tonight just wasn't a pizza night for us. My bride had a small Caesar salad w/ chicken ($10) right size for her. The large is not an exaggeration. I had the caprese sandwich-Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato, Basil, EVOO & Balsamic Glaze on Ciabatta bread ($11) Note: you can add chicken breast or eggplant for $4. more. Very good sandwich. In my opinion, this sandwich would be even better w/ some pesto spread on the ciabatta. Still a very good dining experience. Hours: Tues-Thurs 11:30AM-10:30PM (Kitchen Closes) Fri-Sat 11:30AM-11PM (Kitchen Closes) Sunday 12:00PM-10PM (Kitchen Closes) Closed Monday Street parking is at a premium but there is public parking behind the restaurant. Thanks again to Tony & all for another great visit. Nick Parisi & Liz Farrell, Albany, NY”

“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!”

“This is the massage for EBJ, August 2022 Hi M! Thank you so much for your feedback. It was really a pleasure meeting with you, your energy is amazing, which is why after your second visit in that day, we mentioned that if you were ever on the looking for part time work , we love to chat with you about it. You mentioned that you were not looking for work at the time, but your partner was and you introduced them. The decision was made to meet with Kevin and give things a try. Kevin was hired. And given a couple training shifts within that week. Kevin was unable to fulfill his obligation, as he decided not come in for his second shift the following day. Unfortunately In this business, sometimes that’s how it is, and we more than understand that. You are correct there were some timing conflicts when it came to meeting Kevin for his pay, although that was not the intention sometimes these things happen. Kevin was paid for a total of six hours worked at the NYS minimum, I do apologize there was a miscommunication amongst the two of you regarding that. All in all it was great meeting you and Kevin both, and we wish you luck on your future endeavors! We hope to see you soon ??”

“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.”

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!

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 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!”

“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”

We had a gender reveal here back in November and they brought out ice cream with blue sprinkles and sang to us.

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. ❤️”

“We stopped in as we were passing through town. It happened to be my son's birthday and he was excited about the very minute he was born. Our server Kim made sure to bring him out a candled desert and sang to him the very minute he was born. It was an amazing surprise for sure.
The food was great. The pasta bowls are quite large. And something about the Coca-Cola was as good as or better than McDonald's coke (iykyk).
Staff was super attentive - when we dropped a fork, 2 of them were offering a new fork before my kid finished rolling his eyes.
My other kid now wants to go here for his birthday (we live 1500 miles away).”

“I went for brunch with my sisters, and everyone loved their food. They serve a complimentary salmon canapé if you order two specialty brunch items, and it was a hit. We shared the Bananas Foster French toast, and let me tell you—it was one of the most delicious brunch items ever! I'm serious about brunch, and although I'm not usually into sweets, this was perfectly balanced, not overly sweet like you might expect. I had the filet benedict, which came with huge filet medallions. The portion size was surprising. It was served on brioche or maybe sourdough—not sure, but it was amazing. It tasted like it could have been homemade. Instead of the typical hollandaise, it came with a silky, delicious bearnaise sauce that had just the right amount of tarragon. My eggs were initially hard poached, so I had to ask for a remake. The second time, the filet was medium instead of medium-rare, but I didn't mind because it was still incredibly tasty. My sister, who ordered the avocado benedict, had an issue with her egg temperature as well, but she absolutely loved her dish. My other two sisters both got the breakfast skillet and mostly just made "mmmm" sounds while eating. Service was excellent, though the hashbrowns were a letdown—odd-tasting, like they'd been cooked in old oil, but no one really cared. The steak and egg temperature issues seemed like small mistakes, possibly just our table or a line cook who needs to work on timing. Despite those minor problems, we LOVED what we enjoyed. I highly recommend it!”

Nepalese • $
“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!”
“Just had date night and have absolutely nothing bad to say! Brian served us and he was knowledgeable and knew the menu well.
