The service was not too great, but the food was good and picnic tables outside were nice and you can walk around and in the store and enjoy some autumn fun.”

“Love Kindred! Great food, great cocktails and so many wines to choose from. Their relatively new burger is one of the best in Saratoga. Great staff and service as well. Did I mention how good the burger is? So good.”

“We absolutely loved our time at shaker! They were accommodating and even made mock tails for the people who didn’t want to drink!”

“Wonderful and delicious cake! Ordered online and the cake was there waiting for pickup. Very efficient!”

“Authentic, delicious, Italian cuisine...like a fancy version of Sundays and holidays growing up. Danny's sauce recipe is printed on a flour sack in a frame on the wall (very close to Mom's) so those of us who cook can savor the taste at home. Everything our party of 4 ordered exceeded expectations and was served up by friendly, knowledgeable staff. The Veal Danny and eggplant in particular....so, so good. Chocolate cake with pistachio cream and a fine cup of coffee to end the meal....now that's perfection!”

“My wife and I stopped in for an after dinner drink. Excellent list of sparkling wines by the glass and great list of bottles. We had just had dinner so didn’t get the charcuterie but the guests the next table did and it looked terrific. Next time. Great ambiance, music and a knowledgeable host. We will be back next time we’re in Saratoga Springs.”

So don’t be fooled ..SMITHS does all the hard work ! Raspberry & apple raspberry are my favs. ! Love apple cranberry walnut too ! I’m OBSESSED!❤️❤️❤️”

“Chicken over rice is absolutely delicious! Reminds me of tandoori chicken. Their fried chicken is hand breaded. Large portions, nice people, I'm definitely coming back for more.”

“Was finally able to get a reservation and the reputation is well deserved! The wait staff is fantastic and the owners are very friendly. A big key to great Italian restaurants is how well they do with the basics. The red sauce here is fantastic. Hard to find the right words to describe how wonderful it tastes. They are using the freshest, highest quality ingredients and it shows in their excellent meatballs. The sauces in the lobster pasta and veal pasta blew us away. We enjoyed it so much we came back the next night after a table opened up last minute. If I didn't live three hours away I would be here regularly. Cannot recommend this place enough.”

“One of the best coffees and phos we’ve ever had! Both were very flavorful. The meat portion was a bit lighter than we’re used to, but still delicious. We didn’t care much for the wings, though they were just regular fried wings without much flavor.”
