Our server Ashley and the bartender, also Ashley ! Provided truly gracious and over the top service.
We started by sharing a delicious Lobster Ravioli followed by a ruly phenomenal Rack of Lamb for me and a majestic Beef Stroganoff that my wife took home with her . We finished with a Mousse Tower that was TO Die For !!! By the way with our meal came complimentary House Baked Bread AND a salad ! Thank you Chez Nous and Ashley and Ashley for the first of many at our new favorite restaurant !“

“Greg and his entire staff did an amazing job on my husband's party! Everything was great! The food was phenomenal and the service couldn't have been better! Please contact Greg for parties or catering! You will not be disappointed!“

“10/10! RRH is absolutely incredible! The food is fabulous, and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is always super friendly and inviting. My two absolute favorites are the jumbo mozzarella stuffed meatballs and their endless creative variations of quesadillas—both are to die for! The cocktails? Simply amazing! If you're planning any event—a birthday, anniversary, or any celebration—RRH is hands-down the perfect spot. I threw a surprise birthday party there, and the staff made it absolutely unforgettable. The BBQ chicken is the best I’ve ever had! Thank you, RRH, for making everything so special!“

“Instead of recommending the restaurant or not I wish I could rate it with stars. I would give a 3.75 the food was the good. The service was good. The atmosphere was good. Nothing was stand out amazing. For the price I would think the entrees would come with a salad or bread for the table but they do not. Drinks of course were expensive as anywhere but I got the smallest pour of wine I’ve probably ever received. We went for a special occasion and I wish we would have went somewhere else. Maybe I’ll try again with friends again for lunch and hope for a better experience.“

“Food is amazing Staff is incredible“

“So we had an amazing DoorDash order from tops the other night. We usually cook but had the flu so needed no contact delivery. Dolmades were not on the online menu as an add on and we wanted to split a salad and add some on. I called and the waitress was happy to manually add them on if I put in a note & charge accordingly. She did it and they were amazingly fresh, best we’ve ever had. I’m big on trying Rueben’s from different places and this is hands down one of the best corned beef Rueben’s ever. My husband got the chicken sandwich with the basil and pesto I forget what it’s called but tried a bite of that and so fresh. I have always liked tops but in the past but I don’t know if they got new cooks or not because this was above average from the food we’ve had in the past and when I’ve ordered takeout in the past there’s been a thing or two missing. Not now. Everything was hot and fresh and the waitress that ordered was so friendly. I know DoorDash can be difficult because the food may not arrive how the restaurant puts it out but we had an amazing driver too!!! This experience will make us go back. When you are used to eating home cooked meals and you are sick and you get a good meal like that and friendly service it makes such a difference. Thank you! I cannot stress how fresh everything was. So important that the food is checked prior to ensure everything is there and that was done.“

“Restaurant Review: Mr. D’s at the Desmond in Albany

Nestled in the elegant Desmond Hotel, Mr. D’s delivers a dining experience that perfectly balances sophistication and comfort. My recent visit was an absolute delight, thanks in no small part to Tracy, our server extraordinaire.

From the moment we sat down, Tracy’s warm and personable demeanor set the tone for the evening. She greeted us as if no time had passed, remembering us from a visit years ago—an impressive and genuine touch. Her knowledge of the menu and drinks was impeccable, and her pride in working at Mr. D’s shone through in her attentive, quick service and expert recommendations.

The food was as remarkable as the service. The osso bucco was the star of the evening—fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor, it was a dish to savor. Complementing the meal was a perfectly executed dirty martini, spot-on in balance and presentation.

The ambiance tied everything together. With its sleek, modern decor, cozy fireplace, and refined yet inviting atmosphere, Mr. D’s is a prime spot for a relaxing dinner or a celebratory evening out.

Mr. D’s at the Desmond is a gem in Albany, offering top-notch service, delicious food, and a chic atmosphere that feels like a home away from home. If you’re lucky enough to have Tracy as your server, you’re in for an unforgettable experience.“

“Food is amazing! Also the employees are very nice! Thanks for all you do!!“

“A friendly and intimate tavern with great staff, except when a guy named Mark Maurer comes in a threatens the entire bar with a gun.“

“Nice atmospheric“

“Stopped in for an early dinner on a Saturday. It was quiet for a Saturday. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. I hadn’t been there in a couple of years, so we decided to stop in. They usually have some terrific specials in addition to the menu. Patrick will always give great advice on what to try. My wife had a huge lobster roll and I had a panko encrusted baked cod. Both were specials and both were terrific. While it’s a bit out of the way, it’s a great spot. The deck is covered and overlooks the 18th green of the golf course. Very enjoyable.“

“Love the food and service at 110 Latham. I've gotten the calamari several times and it never disappoints. After many visits getting my normal go to menu items like shrimp scampi that I love I decided at last weeks visit to ask the waitress for recommendations. At her recommendation I get the Apricot Shrimp Risotto for the first time. WOW, so happy I did. it was amazing and I have a new favorite. Thanks 110 and staff. See you again soon.“

“I like this new hot dog establishment alot.I became its first customer when it had a grand opening last Saturday (December 10) just after it opened, which is located at the food court at Colonie Center, that took over Mr.Subb's former spot. Here is a photo of it and what its menu looks like.“

“Great professional service by Delia. she was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu. good food quality and large portions. I'll be back.“

“Great staff. Great food ! Hands down“

“I had my daughter’s baptism celebration at Canalis and I truly want to thank them for going above and beyond for our daughter’s special day. We rented out the banquet room and it was absolutely perfect. The food and service was exceptional. Thank you again Canalis. I highly recommend for any future event.“
