Chef's Table Reviews
Had a lovely experience inside the restaurant. I was very disappointed in the current condition of the area on Grand St. and Madison Ave. It is a deterrent to go to the restaurant. Sad situation right there is downtown Albany.
From the moment we entered, my wife and I were treated extremely well. We arrived 20 minutes early, however the hostess said not a problem, we have a table for you! We made our reservation for the Garden seating, it was very nice! Going up and down a few flight of stairs, into another building, and finally to our garden seating area. Beautiful.

The service was excellent and also entertaining. Our server Ryan, memorized everyone's order. There were nine of us and of course, there were special requests. He nailed it! He was friendly and his enthusiasm was infectious. Our meals were delicious and the portions were generous. I was full but kept working at my meal because it was so good. Each one of us was satisfied and truly enjoyed the whole experience.

Chef's Table is a charming restaurant with an old-school atmosphere. The quality of the food and drinks is exceptional, featuring unique pastas and generous wine pours. Dishes like the meatballs and shrimp fra diavlo stand out, while the ragu is also exceptional. The menu can be misleading, with items like greens and beans being served in a savory broth rather than a hearty plate. The restaurant offers an authentic Italian food experience, with organic wine and organic food. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the food is exceptional, with fresh pasta and delicious sauces. The service is attentive, although there have been some reports of feeling rushed during busy times. Despite this, the front-of-house staff provides excellent service. Recent visitors enjoyed the striped bass special, ricotta ravioli with creamy tomato sauce, and praised the tiramisu as one of the best. Chef's Table remains a reliable choice for special occasions, with a wide range of options to suit any taste.
