“The Albany War Room Tavern is a hidden gem in the heart of Albany that effortlessly combines historical charm with a modern, welcoming atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by unique decor that pays homage to the city’s political and cultural past—making it a destination as much as a dining experience.

The food is outstanding, with a menu that feels thoughtfully curated. Every dish I’ve tried has been flavorful and well-executed, with fresh ingredients and great attention to detail. The cocktails are also worth mentioning—creative, balanced, and served with style by bartenders who clearly know their craft.

What really sets the War Room apart is the service. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making your visit special. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual drink or planning a night out, this spot delivers a memorable experience every time.

Highly recommend for anyone visiting Albany or locals looking for a place with character, quality, and a story to tell.“

“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.“

“This sushi place is a must visit for an amazing sushi in the area. The quality is truly impressive and it was definitely one of the best sushi experiences I've had in a while. The service was attentive but the staff could improve on their friendliness and welcoming demeanor to make customers feel more at ease.“

“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!“

“A jewel of a discovery. When we found other establishments on New Scotland Ave closing their dining rooms by 9pm on a Saturday night, SakeCafe was graciously open, serving delicious food (we tried a little of everything from sushi to Udon) and with the best tableside service I've experienced in literally years. Oh, and the hot sake is splendid and at $6/bottle an unbeatable value. SO happy to know they are just around the corner. Sorry bao buns place but you lose, SakeCafe wins.“

“My husband and I absolutely love Samurai. The food is fresh and delicious and the owner is the nicest guy. Highly recommend!“

“very nice staff and owner is very kind. try the toro tuna belly sashimi... it is the best I have eaten in all of the usa“

“A ton of sushi option and other raw fish!“

“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.
