The Delaware Restaurant & Bar

We come here often and I can say the service at this restaurant is truly outstanding. Most recently, our server Trish was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish as she always does. You can tell the staff really cares about their guests. We have had the pleasure of meeting the lovely young lady, Julia, who clearly runs a tight ship here—the atmosphere is upbeat, smooth, and everything feels well organized and professional. Every dish came out perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and beautifully presented- again as it always does. The drinks are just as impressive and are always balanced. We will keep returning weekly for Elliot’s specials and the perfect wine pairings for each one of them!

The food was terrible, salty and overpriced for quality. Completely rushed through by server.

I came in last night as I was craving chicken picatta and had recalled seeing it in the menu. Sean recommended it highly and he was 100% right. It was the best I have ever had. I was so glad that I have extra for lunch today!! Service was fantastic as always.

Our waiter Griffin was absolutely fantastic! He was responsive and helpful with menu recommendations and went above and beyond. I got dessert because it was such a nice experience and we didn’t want to leave. The food was delicious and the crème brûlée was one of the best I’ve ever had. Great night out! Can’t wait to go back!

Reservations for 6pm and sat right away. Didn't get our drinks until 30mins after that. It was a little slow to start, but then the appetizers came out fast then our dinners were right behind as we were in middle of apps.
Our Food:
-Cauliflower app: delicious with baba ghanoush sauce with it
-Pork Belli: crispy and flavorful
-Calamari: great unexpected flavorful sauce
-Salmon: moist, flavorful, crispy potatoes
-Short Rib: tender, great flavor
-NY Strip: cooked perfectly, smooth mashed potatoes
-Poke Bowl: large portion, delicious mix of textures and flavors
-Espresso Martinis-yumm
-Creme Brulee: could've been charred more for a crispier top, but creamy great flavor with yummy vanilla bean
The waiter was great, friendly and the food was amazing! We'll be returning for sure ;)

Great food and atmosphere!

First time here . Menu sounded great. Had the artichoke appetizer which was frozen in the center??? Shouldnt it be freshly made. Also ordered entrees short ribs and the paella which came out in well less than 10 minutes. Both if us were like did they just microwave this???

Maybe I caught an off night, but the food felt like it was already made then just reheated and plated. Definitely won't be back . They were also out of the Salmon which was a disappointment at first,but hopefully that wouldn't have been reheated especially at this price point.
Server was excellent and the atmospehere is nice but for almost $200 for 2 people not worth it. Food needs to be hot and prepared correctly

Delicious food, friendly and attentive service, and a nice, ambient atmosphere. The lobster dumplings were amazing, and the vegetable paella was super flavorful, with the perfect amount of heat. I'd highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

What can I say, from the moment you walk in you will love this little gem. With The Lumineers playing in the background we enjoyed our chat with Sean the bartender and our glasses of Austin Cab.

The clams app was perfect. The short rib dinner was enough for two and the chicken piccata was to a T!

Love it and will be back next time we are in Albany!

This restaurant was an incredibly pleasant surprise. My husband and I are moving from Manhattan to the Capital Region next month and decided to try out different neighborhoods by picking Airbnbs in various locations. We were staying just up the road and decided to give The Delaware a try based more on location than anything. This will definitely become a destination dining spot once we move here. The cocktails were as good as anything we’d get in Manhattan, as was the food. We can’t recommend it highly enough!
