“The Local FFF is worth every penny! We had our son’s 8th birthday here, and the staff (especially Maria!) were AWESOME! They took care of everything, so well organized and helpful. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves while the kids played laser tag. Well worth it!!“

“Go there on Saturdays for breakfast. Have never been disappointed in the food, service and atmosphere. You are always welcomed by Chris and Ron and also the patrons. It's like everyone is family there. Great place, great price great people.“

“Absolutely delicious every single time. Laid back artistic atmosphere, great people, the chefs do an amazing job. If you order medium steak you get a medium steak right on the money. Thank you Maxons for another great dinner for our family!“

“Dairy Circus is always wonderful!! Large portions, reasonable prices (so uncommon these days), and the girls behind the windows are always so sweet! They also have the best toasted coconut dip! Thank you so much for being a place where our family can gather for a delicious treat!!“

“So glad I made the stop in here!! The Chai latte was made from Steeped Chai tea bags vs and the pre-mix which has a lot of sugar and the breakfast crepe was so delicious and big portion, really fresh ingredients. Don’t pass by here without stopping in. Thank you Olivia!!“

“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.“

“Just moved into the neighborhood and decided to try the nearest restaurant Chez Nous . Soooo glad we did ! Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed one of many dinners to come at this truly unique and charming gem.
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!“

“Cobb Salad - generous and delish - allthe classic ingredients including nice chunks of avacado!“

“My husband and I love this place! Great local spot for solid food, wonderful service, and a good time. Thank you!“

“Yummy food!! Awesome service!“

“Food is amazing Staff is incredible“

“I ordered food from Maisie's for a celebration lunch for my staff. Delivery was exactly on time. Everything was really delicious. Several staff members came up to me afterwards to complement the quality of the food. We have gotten family dinners from. Maisies' before and I definitely recommend them, as well. Everything is freshly prepared, homemade, and delicious. Such a great asset to our community!“

“Wings wings wings utica club“

“Enjoy the good service & food. 👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had a great dinner out with friends. The wasabi bacon wrapped shrimp; meatball; and calamari appetizers we shared were excellent and everyone's entrees were amazing. Our waitress Sarah was super pleasant, attentive and did some great “menu coaching” as we ordered. 10 out of 10!“

“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.“

“Went snow shoeing yesterday at Western Turnpike Golf Course. Stopped by a little gem we have right in our backyard afterwards for a beer and sandwich. Had no idea they are open during the winter. The Hedge Bistro open Tuesday-Saturday 11-5 until about April. Happy to see several “made in house” items on their menu…pizza dough, smoked brisket and pork, NEVER frozen burgers (which makes a difference!) Caesar dressing, marinara sauce and chocolate chip cookies!“

“Just had the BEST iced vanilla latte that I have EVER had in my entire life 🧋“

“We both have to say that every serving of our dinners from soup, salad, the bread, meal and dessert was exceptional. The filet mignon was the best I ever had. Outside seasoned perfectly and grilled, the inside was soft as butter. Delicious!“

“Definitely stands out at the food court. Very unique flavors for a traditional corn dog. Got the spicy Cheeto and the churro. Both were surprisingly delicious. Want to try the ramen flavor for next time we go. Didn’t use the express order section, but wish I tried it to see if it was a more convenient way of ordering. Definitely recommend for anyone that loves trying something new, and who obviously loves corn dogs.“

“Great food entertainment and more great vibe this place is awesome“

“ok food fair service. comfortable. fresh salad. phill does great job to all. c 4 yourself“

“Had our wedding reception here this past weekend-service was exceptional, food was incredible, and Taylor went above and beyond to try and make sure everything was perfect for us. Guests told us it was one of the best weddings they’d ever been to. Highly recommend“

“Been eating here 35+ years! Every time I come home to Schenectady it’s the place I eat. Been on the food network!!“

“Friends recommended this place to us and we were not disappointed. Very clean, great portions, very nice waitress. Prices were great for the quality and quantity of food we received. We will definitely be returning!“

“It is not easy to find a great pastrami sandwich in the Capital Region. JC’s has a great pastrami sandwich that pairs well with their local root beer and chip selections!“

“Staff were great, Doreen is as sweet as can be. The strip steaks were amazing and literally cut with a butter knife. Will def be back.“

“Great and friendly service!“

“I love this restaurant. The food is great! I highly recommend it!“

“It's difficult to pinpoint our overall impression, as the food at this restaurant was truly excellent, especially the well-priced Wednesday burger special. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. However, the service experience was unfortunately quite frustrating. The wait for a table was significant, and the waiting staff appeared overwhelmed and disorganized. We waited over thirty minutes after being seated before anyone even approached us for a drink order or to bring water, a delay that felt prolonged even for a busy night. Seeing other tables not receive menus and witnessing several groups depart due to the extended waits suggested a need for better coordination among the team, even while acknowledging potential staffing shortages. The culinary quality is definitely there, but the service needs some attention“

“Stopped in as we just moved into the neighborhood. Great place. Food was great,the staff were very friendly and nice . Great service! We will be back!“

“Got from grub hub on a whim. The rueben was really good. Great presentation even after delivery and it was hot and fresh when it got here and we are in Bellevue. We will definitely order again!“

“Incredible.“

“In town for a little bit just was driving by and saw New York rangers flying out front. I'm a rangers fan and the game was on at 7:00. I went in there at 6:30 sat at the bar bartender put on the anger game and was very attentive. Great service. I didn't ask his name but he handled the whole bar. Good people. No craziness. Ordered a Heineken onion rings which both were fantastic. Look I'm mostly interested in good servers and someone that's smiling and that's what I got. The bar stools were far enough apart where you weren't hitting shoulders or elbows with other people who's good nice hometown bar. I miss it. I live in Scottsdale most of the year and everything's a free-for-all. I don't care what bar you're in
Anyways, I can't say“

“Food is amazing Staff is incredible“

“We enjoyed take out from Refuel - great tuna melt and BLT. Good portions and very tasty! We will go again!“

“The hotdogs are very good! They are tasty and the meat sauce is amazing“

“Went for the first time and I can say the food was very good! The shrimp and grits had really nice flavor and was a perfect portion size. The place is cute but a bit on the smaller side. The service was good but not great..about average. All in all a good experience here and I live close by so will be going back!“

“Everything is always delicious. The cream of mushroom soup is delicious“

“I came in for brunch with my year old son and was welcomed with such a friendly welcome! Received a menu along with a child menu with crayons ! Absolutely amazing to keep him occupied while I order. We ordered and got our amazingly cooked food in a very timely manner. Food was cooked to our requested temperature. Food was so delicious ! Was able to walk out spending no more than $70! Great price especially since we also ordered food to go!! Very pleased with this experience we just had! Would definitely recommend!“

“Best music store in town! Friendly staff, warm enviroment, fair prices, and great lessons. What more could you want?!“

“Quick seating. Attentive service. Food was delicious although my steak was a bit peppery and a tad under cooked which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5. Will return when in the area.“
