Mediterranean Restaurants near Saratoga Springs

“I don't consider myself a wine expert (or snob), but I do know enough about it to have a good idea of what I will or won't like. I was initially uncomfortable ordering wine here without seeing from where the wine originated, so I had to trust them with their write-ups regarding the wines, and their noses and palates. Thankfully, for all of the wines we ordered with our meals, the write-ups were quite accurate, meriting a future seating at their wine bar area. Okay, so a lot of words for "I liked their wine." On to the food. My first suggestion is that regardless of how good the olive oil is for dipping your warm, crusty, bread, you'll be several times happier if you happen to order either the mussels or the bourbon scallops, and dip all the bread in the sauce. The 12oz. sirloin that one person in my party ordered was cooked to perfection, it looked slightly more generous than 12oz. My hazelnut crusted halibut was covered in toasted hazelnuts, though I was expecting them to be more finely ground, not necessary having whole hazelnuts in the mix. But hey, you give me toasted hazelnuts on halibut, well prepared, and I'm not going to complain. None of us ordered desserts, though we saw several nicely presented ones brought to other tables. If I were having something after dinner, I would more likely order a dessert or ice wine, both of which were available. Service was enjoyable, with 2 waitresses working in tandem, our orders coming out quickly, water glasses refilled frequently, etc.. Parking may be a challenge during busier times. There is a small lot behind the restaurant with access from Lincoln Avenue. But when that is full, you'll probably have to park on a side street (such as Whitney) and walk a small distance.“

“Unexpectedly, this is the best pizza in Saratoga. The cheese is soft but doesn't fall off, the pies are sliced perfectly so the pieces separately easily, the sauce is not overwhelming, there is a good selection of toppings, online ordering was easy, perfectly cooked.The only thing is that it was unclear when ordering online how the order would be delivered (for me it was through Uber) so the ETA it tells you is incorrect.“

“Happy to see and have some Turkish food in the area. Turns out, Raf, lived close to the AF base I was stationed at in Adana and we had a quick chat.I ordered the Chicken Gyro and some baklava to go. It was very tasty, and I was pleased with the portion as well. I'll be back!“
