“We love this historic restaurant. The food is always hot, fresh and amazingly flavorful. They have outrageously good food that spans from simple to gourmet and their burgers are some of the best you’ll ever taste.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I can’t say enough about Hamlet and Ghost and I am not an easy person to impress.

The staff is attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food and drink offerings. In conclusion, Hamlet and Ghost is an extraordinary dining destination that masterfully combines outstanding drinks, unforgettable food, and impeccable service in a memorable atmosphere. The complexity and texture of the dishes will linger in your memory, prompting you to return again and again. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough—if you’re looking to treat yourself to an extraordinary culinary experience, this is the place to be.”

“I had the most incredible dining experience at Mouzon House for their monthly supper dinner. The chefs truly showcased their exceptional skills and talent throughout the five-course meal. Every dish was executed with such attention to detail and flavor that it left me in awe. The amount of creativity and expertise that goes into creating such amazing culinary masterpieces is truly remarkable. I am so grateful for the dedication and passion that chefs put into their craft. They have the ability to create a dining experience that is not only delicious but also a feast for the eyes. Chefs are truly amazing artists, and I am in awe of their talent. Thank you to the chefs at Mouson House for providing me with such an unforgettable dining experience.”

“We have been going to Solevo several times per month, weekly during track season, for 5 years, and it’s always a 5-star experience. The food, cocktails, people/service, and atmosphere are all top notch. The homemade pasta, the daily specials, and homemade desserts are always a highlight. Their seperate vegan and gluten free menus are thoughtful and comprehensive, allowing people with dietary restrictions to have a variety of choices.”
“We were there on June 4th Unbeknownst to us it was the start of Belmont week in Saratoga. The city was mobbed with people great to see. But not great on walk in dining. We were told it would be an hour wait because of all the reservations they had. This was not part of our plan of course. We then spotted an outdoor table in the shade. We grabbed it and the rest is history. We were greeted by Eli our server who by the way is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to craft beer. He managed to recommend beers for all three of us that were delicious. Outstanding job Eli. We shared a spicy little pizza and a charcuterie board and both were awesome. What a great experience from start to finish. great beer and food spells a good time and we will be back for more in the future”
“Food that I could eat was ok, but the staff really needs to have a book readily available that lists all ingredients in each dish.
Even if they don't show it to customers, it's critical that at least the staff have access to this information to be able to alert customers whether or not their allergen is in a particular food item.”
“Made a last minute reservation sight unseen. Walked in and were seated right away. Server was friendly, pleasant and helpful with recommendations. Food came out fast. I had the salmon burger and my partner had the fish sandwich. Both delish. Atmosphere is perfect, nice, but not stuffy. Reasonable prices. What a lucky find!”

“First time at the Merc. Hostess was very nice. Patrick's professionalism was fantastic and not seen enough these days. Brady was our server and his spirit and recommendations were spot on. The food was great and the Sangria was perfect for a Sunday afternoon brunch.... Thank you all...delish!”
“We went here during restaurant week. We chose from a special fixed menu. The salad was ok. It had candied nuts that were really good. The artichoke heart were really good. The pork loin was pretty good, cooked well. The salmon was just ok. It was a little dry and not much flavor. The cheesecake seemed dry and very little flavor. The chocolate tasted great, but found a piece of shrink wrap in it. Overall, the food was good, but not worth the money on the full price menu. The atmosphere was great. It is a really cool place. The staff was great. They were pretty knowledgeable and attentive. Some tables are very close and keeping your conversation private is not possible.”
“This place just became my new favorite restaurant. Went with my husband for the first time today, and we ordered quite a few things each. Food came out very fast, and Every single thing we ordered was amazing! we even ordered extra so we would have plenty to take home for later, but we ended up eating most of it lol. My favorite dish was the Short Rib dumplings”
“Came in for quick drink and and a bite to eat at the bar. Margaritas were delish as usual. Had the street carrots (surprisingly yummy) Mexican street corn (always a fav). You should try the Mexican wedding soup. Marcela (a Mexican) is the one that said it!!
Music today was great! No Nick didn’t make me say it! It is a truly honest opinion, possibly influenced by the Rita’s I was drinking????”
“Completely forgot to post this on Friday, Lani and myself ordered some food to go from The Mex and we were more than satisfied! Joe created a KILLER wing sauce with all the charm of a classic Buffalo but with some texmex flair and the wings were crispy yet juicy, completely amazing like the rest of the food we got! Thank you Mexican Connection!”
“The finest listening space I know. Don't go to Lena's for the refreshments, although they are outstanding. Go for the music, which is more outstanding and important. I engineered 'Lena's Open Door', for a few years. Lena knew her stuff about the folk and acoustic music of the day. I am confident that she still would were she still alive today.”

“great food FAST definitely fast food was hot an didn't taste old... great staff the kid grabbing our stuff was sweet an our waitress... wish the words ONLY TAKES CASH was a lil bigger on door. Cost me 4$ with my bank fees an their ATM other than that 10/10 would recommend”
“I appreciated the convenient parking right outside of the door. I ordered the OG Mini Waffles: chocolate agave, peanut butter sauce, strawberries, bananas, and dark chocolate mini chips. it was so good. How refreshing to find a place that has a number of g.f. possibilities!!”
“100 percent the best BBQ by far. Their brisket is the best I ever had and their ribs ARE AMAZING!!! The owner is probably one of the most humble sweetest humans we ever met . Always talks to us when we come in and always remembers our family. I highly recommend the brisket with the Smokey sauce. Macaroni salad and the peanut butter infused ice cream!”
“My husband and I have been going to Pennel's ever since we were dating in 1963. This is our every family occasion celebration restaurant. Birthdays, anniversaries, even before holiday gatherings are held at Pennell's. It has been a part of our family tradition for over 60 years, and I just know our children will continue it for years to come. Great meals and memories! Thank you Pennell's.”
“Love this place! Food is always excellent and service is top notch. Also love the ambiance there. They nailed everything. The owner is great and Sue, our waitress didn’t miss a beat. Highly recommend!”

“Food is great and service is great. The only issue I have is your gift card policy between Albany and Saratoga. I’ve had family be told you can use a gift card at either location and I have been told it must be used where it was purchased? My parents bought a gift card at the Albany location for my wife and I. The back of the card had Saratoga on it. Thankfully, we presented the gift card receipt after being told we could only use it in Saratoga when the receipt showed it was purchased in Albany. Thankfully, the server and the manager didn’t give up on the situation and were able to manually enter the card number in despite the magnetic strip on the card not working. Bravo to them! However, the only gift cards you are able to purchase in Albany say Saratoga on the back. So if you have a gift card, you better bring a gift card receipt or you may not be able to use it. I hope you guys look at the policy. My only negative. Other than that sushi is fresh and quick and great service !”
“Discovered Artisanal several years ago at a beer fest in Westchester County. My wife fell in love with their Raspberry Chocolate Lava Cake stout, so they were immediately added to our list of breweries to visit. Happy coincidence that they're located in a town we visit at least once a year. So they've become a regular stop each time we're up that way. While they don't brew the Lava Cake often enough, they do make some other very good beers. They do serve food, but we've yet to eat there. Inside is a bit small but they do have an outdoor beer garden as well. Live music by local musicians is also a highlight. Friendly, knowledgeable staff will help you choose a beer in a style you prefer. We love to support small, local breweries and this one is amongst our favorites.”
“Love the new spot! A good amount of room to move around, hang out, and about a dozen seats at the bar. Wide variety of beers including some locals. Pool table, darts, retro video game machines. The attached Herbies Burgers makes delicious burgers and is very convenient when the post-drinking munchies hit.”

“Fantastic Matzo Ball soup !! Always pipping hot comforting and yummy. Best ask to serve in a real bowl, rather than a paper cup.
Can order half a sandwich if you are not up to a full one.
Plenty of tables to sit inside in winter. Also plenty of tables outside in an intimate alley the summer.”
“Great breakfast fare. Just wanted to correct the person's comment from October 2022: Shirley's is still the same breakfast place as always, serving the same type of food. However, a different restaurant takes over in the evenings. They seem to be sharing the space.”
“Finally a place where I can find freshly made lasagne sheets close to Glens Falls. The lady was really helpful in choosing the time of the order respect to my cooking schedule. Very simple but elegant and practical packaging, it reminded me of old school Italian stores. I was lazy and I did not scold the pasta in hot water before building up the lasagne and I was very happy with the decision. The pasta was not as eggy as I am used to but it worked better that way in order to absorb the flavors from the ragù and the béchamel. I wish I heard of this store earlier.”
“i remember the first time i walked into the shop probably about a year ago now and was greeted almost immediately by soni who was so incredibly welcoming, and ever since then ive been stopping in! the teas are amazing, not watered down at all. the protein shakes are soooo yummy, you cant even taste the protein! the staff there is also incredible, each and every one of them has such a sweet and easy-going personality!”
“Popped in here because all the “popular” restaraunts on broadway were over an hour wait.. staff was friendly, everything on the menu was amazing. Would highly recommend!”

“Stopped in for drinks, great bar selection Ordered the tuna tartare, beet salad and French fries. All exceeded expectations. So delicious and generous sized portions. Wish we were staying in town longer so we could return.”

“The brown sugar boba tea with tapioca pearls is absolutely amazing! I had it yesterday and now I want to go back because I really cannot get enough! Anytime I walk by, I HAVE to pop it and grab something because that food and drink is an absolute 10/10. I really really REALLY recommend this place!”
“Been going here for years. I'm originally from Brooklyn, NY and we always had fresh seafood down there because we had real "fish stores" in our neighborhoods. Moby Rick's is a REAL fish store. Fresh seafood, friendly service and you know that you're getting quality when you purchase food from them. I always said, "you get what you pay for" and what you spend at Moby Ricks, you are getting top quality food. Very simple!”
“Had a very good experience at 534 Bistro in the Saratoga Hilton. Our server and bartender, Gabriel, was great!! Professional, friendly and very attentive. Good menu and our food was very tasty and served hot!! Exceptional for a hotel restaurant. I asked Gabriel for a cocktail on the sweet side and he served me a delicious drink that was perfect!!”

“The host team helped us after I made a mistake with our Valentine’s Day reservation. Ate at the bar with Ashley (I think that’s what I remember) and enjoyed a happy hour pasta entree and the pasta special - lobster ravioli with shrimp and scallops. It was the best of its kind I’ve ever had. Wines were great. Service was great. The place was warm and inviting. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks to Forno Bistro for helping to make our Valentine’s Day memorable and lovely.”
“I had my bridal shower here this past weekend and had a great experience! Food was fantastic, room was beautiful, people were very nice/ helpful, and the drinks were flowing! I always had a great experience coming as a normal customer, and had an even better one having an event with them. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants great things to taste and a good time!”

“We had my daughters wedding here this past weekend and our experience was AMAZING. We wanted our reception there and Michelle and Tina were so easy to work with and very accommodating, with many helpful suggestions. Then a couple of weeks ago the ceremony venue fell through - Michelle to the rescue! Her response is almost always “no problem, we can help you”. They left their beach bar tent up an extra week, cleaned it out, helped us set it up and even painted over a sign for us! It ended up being a beautiful space for the ceremony. The reception.. the food was delicious, the service was impeccable.. not intrusive but friendly and always there. We are so happy we chose Dock Browns - it was a perfect day we will remember forever.”
“Super hard working late night crew - the manager on staff this evening was keeping things moving with such a positive attitude. The drive thru line was swamped and he couldn’t have been nicer. Not an easy job and just want to share some appreciation for making my road trip easier!”

“I drive by almost every day and finally stopped to see what the bakery is about.
Forgive me for not taking pictures but I've got milk bread, baguette and puff pastry cookie (don't remember the proper name) We Love the milk bread, baguette would be good but was burnt, the puff cookie kind of weird, not to my liking..Eaven thou it's bit pricey I'll give a try to other goods next time.”
“Treehouse in Saratoga is a vibe!! It’s huge but cozy at the same time. Tons of indoor and outdoor seating. There’s retail sections upfront and separate counters for the bar, pizza and can pick up.
We got the pepperoni pizza, two cold brews and raspberry seltzer. Friends have raved about their pizza and they were absolutely right. It’s crispy, loaded with toppings and the Parmesan cheese they put on the top gives it a nice elevation.”
“We ate at this Chipotle in downtown Saratoga tonight. We both had rice bowls. The chicken and toppings were fresh and tasty. The price is extremely reasonable ($24.00 for two well filled bowls with one fountain drink). The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. We've been to several other Chipotle restaurants in various states and we would rate this one as very good.”
