“Great service! The owner and his wife were awesome! We were a walk in party of 10 on a Friday night, we didn't expect to get a table because the place was so packed. The owners wife made it happen! Thank you! Highly recommended the dining room overlooking the lake it amazing..“
“Our group of 4 made a last-minute reservation here for dinner for restuarant week, and we were so happy we did! While we did order 4 meals off of the $35 (3-course) menu, because their regular menu looked so good, we decided to add a couple of extra appetizers. Everything was fantastic. From the restaurant week menu, we enjoyed the flank steak and chicken piccata entrees, which were both delicious! Perfectly cooked, extremely flavorful. From their regular menu, we ordered medium wings and their Chicago Style Italian Beef Egg Rolls, both of which were a huge hit . The service was prompt, friendly, and they geninely seemed happy we were there. This was our first visit, and most certainly will not be our last. Highly recommend.“
“I love this restaurant, staff was great. We went for their St. Patrick's Day menu, sheppards pie is my favorite meal hands down but it was soooooo salty I couldn't eat it. I was sad and disappointed. My husband ordered off the regular menu because they were out of the special he wanted and said it was pretty good and my daughters French onion soup was great. I would give it another chance.“
“I loved this place on a quiet night, the reservation was made 15 minutes before we went on a weekend evening in winter !!! Every appetizer we ordered we shared and loved. Fried pickles, Nachos and a few others were yummy. The service was extremely efficient and friendly. Bar drinks and wine bottles ?were all reasonably priced. We didn't order dinners but I would love to go back and try it - very relaxing atmosphere (when there isn't a band) !!! Quite surprised actually ☘️☘️☘️!!!“
“We all ordered the turkey dinners the other night and everything was excellent. My daughter ate all her turkey which she never does. The mashed potatoes Gravy green beans cranberry sauce and stuffing were also excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone eating in Saratoga.“
“This place was wonderful. The great mexican food reminded me of my dads cooking. Super fluffy pancakes. I wish this place was closer to where i live. The service was great! Handmade tortillas! Delicious! Highly recommend! My only criticism would be they are so close to good maple syrup country that they could use better syrup.“
“Great place / definitely old school mom and pop diner. Highly recommend. Note..no alcohol. I was lucky enough to have picked up some vodka shotsto make my tomato juice medicinal. This is a real community diner. Lots of seniors and families.“
“Pretty cafe with old time music (my favorite) Very nostalgic interior = and they just added a children's play area for when there's a wait. Staff super friendly but not intrusive. I've never had a bad meal here and try to go every weekend. Their Country Morning Breakfast or California Benedict are my favorite.“
“This is a classic diner tucked in the middle of downtown Saratoga! It’s hard to believe it is still here while new restaurants and condos have been going up around it over the years, but it’s great for Saratoga that it has stood the test of time. The breakfast was great and the service was nice and unbelievably fast!We will definitely be back.“
“My wife and I recently decided to try Scallions Restaurant in Saratoga Springs for lunch.A few years ago this restaurant was on our list to try, but when we stopped in for dinner, we stood and waited for several minutes, and no one greeted us when we arrived and were at the podium at the entrance, so we just left and went elsewhere, and hadn’t been back.This time was very, very different, and we regret not going back to give them another try sooner, as the experience was simply “excellent” in every regard.We went for lunch, and it wasn’t too busy. We were greeted immediately upon our arrival by a friendly manager, who asked us where we would prefer to be seated. We chose a small table by the window, and were presented with menus and a list of beverages, while she promptly brought us glasses of water.The menu had several choices that looked appealing, and as we looked it over, we each ordered a glass of wine, which was generously poured and delicious.We noticed that French Onion Soup was the “Soup of the Day”. This is one of our favorites, but we are highly critical, and usually disappointed. This was NOT the case today. More on that in a couple of minutes. . .As the main course, my curly headed companion ordered one of the specials: Salmon on mixed greens that came with chick peas, onions, sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, and goat cheese, with a house dressing. I opted for Ryan’s Roast Beef, which is one of their paninis served with smoked mozzeralla, roasted red peppers, arugala and horseradish cream on grilled farm bread.The soup arrived and our first impression was positive. It had melted cheese (swiss and gruyere, I believe) baked and dripping off of the sides of the bowl, and under that delectable cover was a deliciously hot steaming mixture of soup broth, tender cooked onions, and croutons that were seasoned to perfection. We agreed at that point that whatever else might happen, this meal was already in the “success”column. It took some effort (which is a good thing with this soup) to get every last piece of cheese off of the bowl when we finished the soup, but it was worth it.Then came the entrees, and our experience continued along its pleasant mid day path:My wife truly enjoyed her Salmon salad, and was contemplating asking for the recipe for the house dressing, which was clearly the invention of the chef.I loved the Roast Beef sandwich, which complemented the lingering taste in my mouth of the French Onion Soup.Being retirees, we took our time with our entrees and wine, and were the only customers remaining in the restaurant when the dessert choices were mentioned.We typically skip dessert, or only peruse the menu to count the calories we would avoid by not ordering, but this time, we opted to split an order of Toll House Cookie Pie. We were again delighted with the taste and portion size of this treat. It was warm, appropriately gooey, and topped with fresh dollop of whipped cream.Throughout our dining experience, our server checked back with us a few times, engaged in pleasantries, and was a delightfully friendly.We’d give Scallions 5 stars out of 5, and would recommend it for lunch. We will be back for more lunches, and for dinner to try that menu out as well.“
“We have been twice now when we are in the area and had Joellen as our waitress each time. She has been amazing each time; making sure to check in and tell us any details! The food is always amazing in quality and quantity. We always bring leftovers home. Fried pickles are delicious (and spears! So there any many to share). Mac and cheese is delicious and homemade. Will definitely be coming back!“
“Amazingly busy, worth being put on their waiting list! Wonderful, unique, and delicious drinks.Their menu items are savory and portions are filling.As a former hostess/bartender/wait staff, it was a pleasure to watch their front room staff interact and perform like a well-oiled-machine.Vegetarian options: They are willing to accommodate my good allergies.Dietary restrictions: They are willing to help me with gluten free options!“
“Visiting Saratoga Springs for a conference. Googled well rated places close by. 3 block walk from the Hilton and was well rated. First impression upon entering was a small quaint place. It isn't a place for a large party but for two to four it's perfect. We had no wait , but seemed like we may need to call ahead on a main dining out night. The place was full and loud at first. Once the bar ( 4 seats) cleared out it was quiet enough to have a private conversation. The service was great and very attentive staff. The food was excellent and timing of appetizers and main dishes was spot on. I ordered the a special of surf and turf.. could not finish it. The appetizer was seasoned and cooked well. Expect to spend 100-150 a person plus for drinks. Would come back“
“Went to Ripe Tomato tonight for dinner and was not disappointed. Starting with their bread which I couldn't stop eating. I had the special Pasta Milano and it was so good I wish I hadn't eaten all that bread. The others in our party ordered veal parm and seafood FraDiablo which were OK but nothing special. Our waitress was great and the atmosphere is a little loud but not deafening. If you haven't been give it a try and enjoy. Suggest you make reservations of you go on weekend.“
“Absolutely love this place! Full disclosure: it gets busy, it can get full fast and this location doesn't have a great waiting area. That said I feel like parking can be easier than the Schenectady location and if you have to wait there are cute shops that can occupy your time. The food and staff are wonderful and anything you get to drink will be amazing. It's fun to do the full afternoon tea service, with a mimosa flight and overall it's a delightful experience.“
“Went for Easter brunch with my mother. It was an à la carte brunch which I much prefer since I can no longer get my money's worth at one of the normal brunches (too old to stuff myself to the point of bursting like I could when I was younger since it is like drinking too much).Our waitress Sarah (sorry if misspelled) was great. As a former server myself, please leave your servers, their tips and cash if possible. It's appreciated.Also, the owner came out to see how everything was and I apologize for forgetting her name but a lovely woman. We've been there on several different occasions and haven't been disappointed.“
“I ended up at this restaurant as a nearby Turkish place was closed due to snow in April. We were a party of 4 and got seated immediately even though we showed up without a reservation. This placed was packed on Thursday evening. The waitress was courteous and offered us some treats while we decided on our dinner. We got calamari and roasted cauliflower for the starters moving on to salmon, scallops and a vegetarian dish that the waitress suggested. Flavors were on the spot and cooked to perfection. Must visit if you are in Saratoga or Ballston Spa.Vegetarian options: Not much to choose from but you won’t go hungry.“
“Solid brewery with some interesting pours. Tried the what's up doc sour and the hazy ipa and both were great. The broccoli cheddar soup and kimchi brussels sprouts were hearty and full of flavor. Will definitely be coming back next time we are in Saratoga “
“Lovely little Italian place that’s pretty popular judging by the full house on a Wednesday when I had dinner there. Started with a generous serving of bread. I ordered the Veal Danny which is veal in cream sauce with some lobster claws thrown in. It was good, albeit a bit too creamy for my liking. My friends ordered the sea bass, pork chop and boneless short ribs which were all good.“
“Was absolutely amazing. This place was good and knows how to handle situations. Our waitress was embarrassed by the group of drunk women who thought it was ok to grab her butt while we ordered food. She handled it like a champ and staff was quick to react and get patrons to leave. Hope her day got better after the entitled "keep up with Jones's" left. Will be back again.“
“Six of us enjoyed dinner here last night and I cannot say enough good things. The wine, cocktail and NA cocktail lists were extensive. We enjoyed about 10 appetizers and our server staged them perfectly. Our favorites were the dates, brussels sprouts and tomato bread. The highly recommended churros exceeded expectations. We’ll definitely go back to check out the other half of their large selection of tapas!“
“Overall a very good experience! The place was a bit pricey, but not too bad for what you get. My fiancé got a burger which was decent for a burger (but not really what you'd go there for, we expect). I had the fish and chips which were very good and fresh but needed more salt. The sweet potato fries were also STELLAR and I had a special of the corn and crab dip which was amazing. The real highlight was the CHOWDER. Now, I think it was a special and not offered all the time but holy moly. It was chicken and sweet potato chowder and it was the ROCKSTAR. I wanted to order some to go to have for lunch the next day it was so good. Overall, a really good experience.“
“Great food and staff. I have food allergies and they are very cautious about that. I usually get the greek chicken dish with red wine. It is a small and intimate restaurant so gets very crowded. Right in the village of Round Lake so a stroll throughout the village after dinner is a good choice!“

“I want to start this off with I am a person who loves trying new places and sitting inside to eat, but unfortunately most places are too packed, loud and overwhelming for me to sit inside and eat. However, this place was not only a safe and quiet place, but it's a tucked away little sweet place with a couple galleries to walk around before or after you eat, or if there's a wait, or just in general if you are an art enthusiast as myself. There is more than enough seating available. And even some outdoor seating with a little area to move around if you have kids that need to run around a bit or are high energy.Food wise. I highly recommend the falafel burger and tater tots. They were both super crispy and so flavorful. Not many places can perfect the falafel, however, i think this place has got it figured out! The side portions are on the snaller side. So, I do recommend getting your own rather than getting an order to split, unless you have a more sensitive stomach or fill up quickly, then it is the perfect amount!The workers were very sweet and attentative if we needed anything.Overall left happy and fed, and 100% comfortable the entire time!“
“Our bestie group of 4 went for lunch. Everything was so good. 3 got BLT’s and I got the Beet Salad. They all loved their sandwiches with chips or macaroni salad and my Beet Salad was the best I ever had!!! They roast their beets to perfection. chopped walnuts crumbled goat cheese, sliced red onions, on wonderful salad greens, with a delicious balsamic mixture. It was so good. Service was so comforting such a sweet person and coffee and a most delicious cider donut and coffee for dessert. The best afternoon! We will certainly be back before long.“
“Their Lobster Pizza is to die for. We live 300 miles away and will be back. They only have a few beer taps but a great selection of cans. Had a Heady Topper with the Lobster Pizza which just made my day.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free for my daughter and her girlfriend“
“Always good food!! Gets busy so get there early but there chicken wing and blue cheese is amazing, I'm upset they took the flatbread off the menu it was one of my favorites. But other than that our waitress was attentive and polite even when getting super busy.“
“Went to the factory for dinner this past weekend with my fiance and had such a great dinner! I highly recommend that if you want to go out to eat and your in the area, The portions are very generous and the food is top notch by far the best in town!“
“Our server was so considerate: he brought a bag holder for my friends bag AND two napkins so we could spit out our gum without us asking - so attentive!! The food was excellent - the mushroom toast is a must, the beats were great with the pistachio spread, and the butter rolls - forget about it. Highly recommend!!“
“Came here for a work gathering. We had a whole side/section to ourselves, with a shuffleboard table! The food they provided was great, sliders/tacos/pizza. Perfect hand held bites for milling around and networking. They have an extensive list of beers on tap and everyone found something that made them happy. The servers were attentive! Great laid back space.“
“Dozer's is like taking a Time Machine back to the early 2000's. This is what Saratoga used to be like - causal neighborhood bar, locals and regulars hanging out with delicious (and fairly priced) food. Their wing special is one of the best deals going and what's even better than the price is the delicious flavor and perfect crisp of the wings. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. Grateful to see places like this still exist in Saratoga. An absolute hidden gem that is worth going back to time and time again.“
“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Neighborhood Kitchen food truck service, and I must say, it was absolutely amazing! The food was incredibly delicious, and the staff were exceptionally friendly, timely, organized, and professional. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Neighborhood Kitchen to anyone looking for top-notch food truck catering. You won't be disappointed!“
“An absolute gem of a place! I got the Shrimps & Scallops Marinara and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. A touch spicy but not overpowering. The linguine soaked up the sauce perfectly. I ate all the scallops and knew I had to take the rest home because it was a huge portion. Lightly heated the next day with the shrimp and it was still perfection! Only thing is, my salad was drenched in the dressing. IMO next time def dressing on the side. The blue cheese in the house dressing was delicious. We drove almost an hour and would def do it again! Btw the fresh bread with herbs butter was fresh and delicious!“
“I went to the Mill on Round Lake with my wife, daughter and 1 year old grandson. All the staff were welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious. I had one of the specials - the Reuben sliders...so good. We all enjoyed our food and the relaxing atmosphere. The staff even filled up my grandson's bottle with milk a couple times. It was our first time there and we're all excited to go back.“
“Couldn't have been more perfect. We were a large crowd, after track season with a bunch of kids. We enjoyed brunch, drinks, and London NFL games indoors and outdoors with plenty of room for the kids to run and play under the tent outside. Friendly and accommodating staff made this a terrific Sunday spot for a few parents and their kids....?“
“The food was delicious,fresh and the service was quicker than most. There's a wide variety of foods including impossible burgers and other specialty foods. When I went to pick up my food the place was clean,quiet and had perfect lighting lol the staff was friendly,helpful and polite. For 6 people to eat full meals(drinks included) only cost us a little over $100“
“I must say I have not been here for years. The Pandemic didn't help.Tonight, in a new setting, Seven Is above the norm for their hospitality, attention to detail, and caring of the guests that come here.This establishment is working towards recognition. The rest will follow.“
“Great little place! Food is a little slow to come out but the quality is there for the price point. I got the chicken Parm special on Saturday and the chicken was good, but the sauce had hardly any flavor like it was watered down, which most likely it was (I used to be a cook for 14 years and I know that flavor anywhere). The ice cream is fantastic and the cookie ice cream sandwich is massive! All in all, service can be slow but if you're looking to fill up for cheap this place is good.Parking: Limited spaces so time your visit accordingly.Kid-friendliness: They love kids, my daughter likes it there.“
“Food was very good-got fish/chips and fried shrimp platter. New England clam chowder tasted very good but was light on the fixings in the chowder (clams/potatoes). Very friendly staff, organized food order line and good wait time. VERY clean, will definitely go back“
“We happened to stop and eat on this past Saturday in that big storm .... we had a great time. The food was delicious...the waitresses were wonderful and the service was very fast. Everyone had something different and it all looked and smelled delicious. See you again “
“My family and I just moved to Saratoga and after a long day of moving we wanted to get some grub. We stumbled across this place and I went in to order. This being my first time I didn't know the menu and I was ordering for five people. The girl at the front Izzy made it so easy for me asking me what each member of my family was interested in and helped me make a decision. If I had cash on me I would've tipped her a hundred bucks. Thanks Izzy for making my experience great, we will definitely be back soon.“
“The food was absolutely amazing! The service was just as great, Michael our server checked in with us a few times during our dinner and made sure we were doing alright without being overbearing. The atmosphere was a little dark but everything else made up for it. Absolutely will be back for more amazing dishes :)“
“Are you looking to get off Broadway and hang with the locals? The Local - Pub & Teahouse is one of those places that doesn't cut corners. The vibe is fun, warm, and cozy. They have a full bar with anything you like. We had two cocktails to see how good their mixology skills are, a vodka martini and a burbon Manhattan, and both were perfect! Their menu is elevated pub food with daily specials and some unique dishes such as the Irish Cuban sandwich. The food was fresh, homemade, and delicious! If I had to guess, they have a real chef on staff. Round all of this out with their impeccable service, and I have no choice but to give it five stars.Pro Tip: If your gluten free this place is a must visit.“
“A friend of mine, who loves Ravenswood suggested we go there and I'm glad he did.The service was especially attentive, even during the busy lunch hour. My salmon burger was very tasty. Usually I am content with less expensive lunch options (soup and salad) however, Ravenswood was a nice change and worth it.“
“My wife and I were in town for one night but two breakfasts’, both of which we had the pleasure of dining at the Merc. Absolutely chill vibes, late 90s knocks on the radio, BASKET OF BISCUITS…sorry I legit get carried away when describing my experience at the merc, waitress thanked us for our patience as your validly popular restaurant filled up. No! THANK YOU! For your wonderfully fresh ingredients , friendly service and overall great experience.Vegetarian options: I’m not a vegetarian but the menu had a lot of viable or as is options!“
“We used to live about 5 minutes from the Brickyard and ate there regularly. After moving away 12 years ago we were visiting friends in the area this past weekend and had the opportunity to have dinner here. It is unchanged and still a great place to get food or a drink with friends and family. It's a casual atmosphere and super friendly staff. The food is still excellent, especially the pizza. You will not be disappointed.Parking: Parking is in the back but it's usually not crowded.“
“Neat place with terrific atmosphere, soft live solo music. Valentine's special included a bottle of wine with dinner for two for $100.00. Great prime rib and crab dip. Only suggestion is serve the mashed potatoes hot. They were warm.Friendly waitress, Tara and staff backing up. Pretty bar with red lighting and decorations for the occasion.“
“Here on a work trip. Walked into this applebees my first night and was treated like I belonged and they knew me. Came back for lunch and was treated the same way. Never seen workers actully working together and care about each other. The best part. Came back for dinner on monday and the bartender working made me smile everytime she laughed or talked in general. Breath of fresh air in this crazy world.“

“Re: Thanksgiving buffet. The presentation was A1. The food was excellent. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Overall a great Thanksgiving experience. Will return and recommend. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Pastor Patrick Roach. Saratoga Springs, “
“Great quality food and service in all cozy, homestyle restaurant setting. We didn't need full meals but were looking to tide ourselves over until a later dinner so shared the chowder, French onion soup, 2 flavors of wings and the Napa salad. All excellent but might go for 2 chowders next time!“
