“Had to run to Ballston Spa to pick up some glassware for Savoy Taproom and happened upon an awesome Mexican-Italian spot on Front St. - 42 fusion. Clean, modern atmosphere with black table linens and a hip bicycle turned host stand to greet visitors as they enter. Impeccable service and a menu full of fun Mexican Italian fusion dishes. We enjoyed some expertly prepared quesadillas (with superb tortillas of a quality much higher then your typical local spot), pillowy and light gnocchi in a fabulous fusion sauce with mushrooms and house made chorizo, and some carefully crafted margaritas. We finished the meal with chef’s flan and churros. A perfect Sunday meal. Definitely worth an afternoon trip and surrounded by fun little shops if you’re looking to make an afternoon of it.“

“Great happy hour spot. Don't arrive during happy hour for a dinner table without a reservation on a weekend night. High tops are seated for dinner guests only when guests finally are done with the long happy hour.

Drink specials at happy hour are worth the trip but someone has to wait in line at the door at 4:30 for high top seating. Meeting people at happy hour is easy because seating is close and you can hear everyone's chatter.

Well staffed. Good service. Catering takeout is easy and consistent.

Parking: EV charging for a fee.“

“Long time customer of Home Style. Have been to The Ritz a few times since the renovation. Came with the family, including the 4 year old. No reservation, but very accommodating. Nicole was wonderful and tended to our daughter well (which let us enjoy the evening).
Food allergies were an issue with our part, but well addressed and they felt very safe. Drinks, food, and service were excellent. Timing was great and the price was very fitting the quality of the food.

Happy to return.
