Restaurants in Saratoga Springs

“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 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.”

“The atmosphere is lively and the wait staff was friendly. Our drinks were beautiful to look at and exceeded our expectations. We started with the Parkerhouse rolls and were not disappointed. The Empanadas were also delicious. The Jerk Chicken & steak dinner were perfect. Definitely recommend.”

“Wonderful and delicious cake! Ordered online and the cake was there waiting for pickup. Very efficient!”

“I can’t say enough about Hamlet and Ghost and I am not an easy person to impress. The intimate lighting and stylish decor create an inviting space that feels both special and comfortable—perfect for a date night or a celebratory dinner with friends. The drinks were very good. Each cocktail is crafted with precision, utilizing fresh ingredients and innovative combinations. Whether you prefer something classic or are in the mood for a daring concoction, the skilled mixologists here have you covered. Each dish we ordered was not only a feast for the eyes but also an unforgettable experience for the taste buds. The ingredients are clearly sourced with care, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The chefs have managed to master the balance of flavor, texture, and presentation, making each dish a singular entity of culinary artistry. Impeccable service is another hallmark of Hamlet and Ghost. 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.”

“Authentic, delicious, Italian cuisine...like a fancy version of Sundays and holidays growing up. Danny's sauce recipe is printed on a flour sack in a frame on the wall (very close to Mom's) so those of us who cook can savor the taste at home. Everything our party of 4 ordered exceeded expectations and was served up by friendly, knowledgeable staff. The Veal Danny and eggplant in particular....so, so good. Chocolate cake with pistachio cream and a fine cup of coffee to end the meal....now that's perfection!”

“The Chrysanthemum Flowers tea is fantastic!”

“The music , the food and service is excellent w the waiters that make u feel very comfortable ❤️ I suggest panzas especially for a celebration… My friends took me there and it was fabulous”

“In town for a work conference and stumbled upon this gem. It reminded me of being in Venice but for the American portion size. Food was delicious. Service was amazing.”

“Service was amazing. Food was amazing and talking to the locals was awesome. One of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time.”

“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”

“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!”

“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.”

“Awesome place! We ordered pizzas, hummus plate, bruschetta, caesar salad, crème brûlée, ice cream sandwich, cocktails with dinner and after dinner drinks. Everything was delicious and atmosphere was great! Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back!”

“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!”

“cozy spot with good bites. food was fresh & made promptly. shared wait service, tight seating, all tables next to the bar or front door.
great stop for a nice meal with plenty nearby.”

“The food and atmosphere were amazing! Staff was great and we didn’t feel rushed. Wonderful experience for my first visit! Would highly recommend!!”

“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!”

“Scallions offers several vegetarian options. I ordered the Mediterranean Quinoa Bowl. Tofu was supposed to be grilled but definitely wasn’t. The citrus vinaigrette was a bit overpowering. The dish came to the table hot and I enjoyed it other than what I mentioned here. Pistachio ricotta cake was delicious.”

“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.”

“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!”

“amazing daily specials!! always very fresh! not long wait, great location right on Broadway, has parking. A definate must.”

“Excellent service”

“I just finished lunch at Boca. It was fantastic. I had the Mediterranean bowl and added the fish special. At $15, I was a bit skeptical. It was DELICIOUS and worth every penny! Our server was professional, prompt and fun. I highly recommend”

“Great atmosphere and great beer”

“Great location for a night out. Food was great, as always. We always try to come here when we are nearby. Food was delicious and good size portions. Always save room for the creme brûlée!”

“My mom used Sweet Mimi’s to cater my bridal shower. The food was absolutely incredible and we are still talking about it a week later! This will definitely not be our last time using them for an event! Highly recommend!!”

“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.”

“Authentic Southern Indian cuisine. Great selections for vegan / vegetarian. Excellent food and service.”

“The food was delicious. don't let the appearance from the outside fool you. you can smell the deliciousness from the sidewalk and we ate every bite. the waiter asked if we wanted to eat the paper and we died laughing. They even accommodated us having our baby with us.”

“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”

“We LOVE this place. The fresh juice, soup,fruit bowls & avocado 🥑 toast #Frickendelish I love watching my 7 year old enjoying the fruit bowls”

“Wonder everything about this restaurant”

“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!!”

“We booked a large reservation for my parent's birthdays this past Sunday with Frank, who was wonderful in making adjustments, giving suggestions, and was so on top of it with responses. He even offered to customize menus for us, which my parents got a kick out of - thank you so much for everything. I would absolutely be back soon.

Pizzas and beers were to die for, but wow those wings!!”

“Great experience! Atmosphere and service were top notch.”

“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!”

“Great food and service”

“Best Egg Sandwich in town!”

“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.”

“Great burgers and milk shakes”

“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 !”

“Wife and I really like everything about this place. Great beer, we love the food, and friendly helpful staff. Great people here!

However, we don't get to go in person much, so we've been trying to order delivery frequently during the past 2 months and their courier (at this time, Uber) has made it an extremely unpleasant and unreliable experience almost every time. In fact, after just spending over an hour today on the phone with Uber Eats over a $60 order, only to be told by Uber Eats that we'll have to pay the full amount if we cancel an order that is an hour late (due to Uber Eats lack of competent drivers in the area, nothing at all to do with ABW), we won't be ordering from here until there's a better option. Uber Eats is definitely the problem. Hoping to see this place on Doordash someday, so we can enjoy reliable fast pickup & delivery.”

“Street tacos were delicious! Hot fresh donuts..”

“my wife and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary in saratoga. we stopped in for lunch, and it did not disappoint! the food is amazing, and it's a great environment. highly recommend!”

“Highly recommend! Owners are awesome and personable. Bar tenders are excellent. Just an overall great atmosphere”

“Their new space across from Ben and Jerry’s has a vegan burger and shake mini restaurant and it is wonderful. We brought our meat and vegan friends and everyone absolutely loved the vegan burgers. Great fries with tons of different interesting sauces. Saratoga needed this! Updated from previous review on 2025-12-09”

“Avocado toast was amazing!”

“Great people, great food!! All around excellent spot to grab a dog!!!”

“Hosted a private party at The Misfit and it exceeded my expectations. The food and cocktails were delicious. The vibe was perfect and the staff friendly and kind. Michelle was so helpful throughout the planning.”

“The Tin & Lint was probably the warmest, heartiest bar I've been to in the Northeast. It's the type of bar I hope to be going to for decades when I'm settled. I loved it.”

“First time at H&H and the shrooms pizza was outstanding! The crust was perfect, the flavor delightful. Truly looking forward to trying all the other varieties of pizza.”

“This bakery is amazing. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming. The service is wonderful and the food is out of this world. Farm fresh eggs, fresh baked rolls. Who could ask for more. And the chocolate chip cookies????? I wish I could eat one everyday. ❤️❤️❤️”

“Everything! Staff is great, beer is cold, food is good!”

“This Pub has a great Irish atmosphere, great food and service. Highly recommend. would love to see live music here! Will definitely be back🍀”

“This place has absolutely delicious food, everything tastes real which is something you dont get all that much these days. If you're looking for some place quiet and not too overwhelming then this is the place ❤️”

“This coffee is amazing, they have this option from a farm across Colombia that is all sustainably sourced. Caturra Chiroso is our favorite on their menu! Definitely try that one.”

“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.”

“My husband got an order of hot, bone in wings and an order of boneless BBQ wings and both were excellent. We will definitely be coming back for more.”

“Rose is THE BEST! Best pasta ever! We’re obsessed with the cheese manicotti (canneloni)- a creamy cheesy filling, strong pasta crust… pair with a tomato jar (diy red sauce- so good) and fresh loaf of bread… it’s heavenly. Friendly service with a smile, easy custom orders- so accommodating and friendly.
Can’t wait to get back to our weekly pasta nights in the fall!”

“This Wilton crew is fantastic. I order on the app, it’s ready when I get there. They always say hello and show appreciation. Wish I’d discovered this place far sooner. A highlight of my days 🤍”

“Porchetta with Mozz off of daily specials menu, was one of the best heros I've had. Tuesday July 02. Thank you.”

“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!”

“Friendly staff, nice and clean, and good ☕️!”

“I walked in Thursday. Get something to eat soon as I walk through the door. Man had a smile on his face. I do not know his name welcomed me. Hi how are you doing? Took my order. Had my food out said the goodbye to me. I am very happy you don't get that kind of customer service anymore. Whoever's running things there. Keep up the good work”

“The freshest sub around. The workers were competent and excellent.”

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!”

“The Best Chinese food in Saratoga !”

“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.

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.”

“My sister my daughter and I went to this establishment on 8/28/24 for lunch and it was the most delightful dining experience I have had in a very long time.

“True story. I don't eat McDonald's food. But....the other evening I didn't feel like cooking and my husband suggested McDonald's. Of course I laughed and he said, I'm serious. He doesn't even eat red meat. So we ordered. Both of us had the same. Double cheeseburger and fries... Omg! Absolutely delicious. Yes, I'm serious. Now I want it again! I didn't check service or atmosphere because we had it delivered.”

“Had a celebration night at Cantina. Waitress was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the menu and helping us order our food exactly as we like it. Drinks were great too”
