We stayed at the Renaissance for March Madness and we're not disappointed! Wellington's had a great vibe for watching the games, awesome staff, and even better food! We found ourselves here for a few meals and were delighted each time

Get the black bass or the roasted chicken! Delectable!

It was okay. On my first night at the hotel I ate at the bar and the bartender was mostly chatting to a large group at the other end so she didn't come around much. The food was fine, not bad but also nothing to write home about. Subsequent visits were also okay. Food takes a while to come out.

Terribly salty food, corked wine, unbearably loud ambience, sluggish service. This is a bar and not a restaurant. It took 55 minutes for our food to arrive. Incredible.

It took nearly 40 minutes to receive the food (but we didn't need to ask for a check, that was served ASAP). Our food came out cold. Thrre are also no kid's menues. For the price neither the quality of the food or service were worth the visit. The bathroom situation is note worthy as well. Out of 5 bathrooms 2 were rarely available, yet without toilet paper and with the bin filled up to the ceiling. Definitely an experiebce to skip.

Wellington's needs a makeover to be considered fine dining. I was seated next to a massive extension cord and a bunch of electrical tape. The chairs had significant wear and tear and overall the atmosphere was very underwhelming. Although our service was great, we were extremely disappointed in the food. Again, being labeled as fine dining with the matching prices to boot, the expectation was that we'd get an edible meal. The sweet potato gnocchi was tasteless and tough and the sauce served with the duck was watery and flavorless. Unfortunately, we won't be returning unless it's to the bar only because they did make a fabulous martini.

I can't speak about the food or the value as we waited for an hour to place our order and receive our food. We ended up canceling our order and leaving. The decor is beautiful. When I have many hours to wait perhaps we'll visit again and I can give a proper review.
Great rib eye steak. Menu above the average Marriott property. Nice draft list. Best choice of a bunch of bad options in a sorrowful downtown Albany.

We stumbled upon Wellington’s by accident for lunch while waiting to tour the Capital Building. It’s located conveniently right across the street. What a find! The building is gorgeous, the furniture fabulous, the service exceptional and the food delicious. Our waiter was wonderful and took excellent care of us. We had the lobster grilled cheese, which was incredible, brussel sprouts, fries & chips. Highly recommend the grilled cheese! We will definitely come back to this place again for dinner.

The poor server Nicole was overwhelmed. She had to wait on every table. She did an extraordinary job under deplorable staffing conditions. Most of the menu items were sold out. The wait for drinks and food were unacceptable. Plus, the food ranged from adequate to poor. The management should be ashamed of themselves. Clearly, they knew this was scheduled to be a busy evening. This is the first negative restaurant review I have ever submitted.

We went out for a New Year's Day dinner and it was fantastic! Its beautiful place, especially looking out the windows and seeing the state Christmas tree still glowing. We have gone to Wellington's many times for special occasion dinners and would recommend it to anyone. They also have a nice mix of entrees, including more casual fare like burgers and salads.

The meal was really great! Service was phenomenal! Our server, Jourdan, was friendly, bubbly and knowledgeable about the menu. We enjoyed her presence! The decor needs an update! It's too bad that the place didn't look as nice as it could be! It didn't match the food or staff quality.
Excellent salmon dinner.
