“Generally food was excellent. My table had bangers a d mas and fish and chips. Both were great. Theme was UK. However a split pea ham soup was over the top salty. Upon complaint I got a beet and mixed green salad which was excellent. We had bread pudding and whiskey chocolate cake. Both were great. This was first time for waitress but she did great. Was attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend eating here if you can get a reservation“

“Had dinner last night at Johnny's and it was amazing. The food was delicious. Our waitress, Vanessa made our evening magical.“

“Unbelievable atmosphere. Awesome Bartenders Drinks and the Food is Fantastic. You need to try this place!!!“

“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.“

“Best collard greens I've ever had, pulled pork was awesome. Baked beans were tasty and I don't recommend trying the peach cobbler because you will be hooked for life“

“My husband and I have dined in and also gotten taken out. The food is delicious. We've had PHO and also their dinners with noodles or rice. The dinners have been excellent. The amount of food is plentiful. The server is excellent, he's friendly, efficient (he works very hard) and he is confident with his recommendations, he knows the menu and dishes really well. His recommendations have surpassed our expectations. He's probably the best waiter we've ever had. We don't eat out often, so when we do, we want the experience to be good, and PHO Vans does not disappoint. I highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Best Bagels and Sandwiches in town!“

“Authentic Italian! Reminded me of eating in my Nona’s dining room! The meal was phenomenal starting with the delicious salad dressing, crusty Italian bread & eggplant parmigiana with spaghetti.“

“Great food, great service. Love the back deck at the Schenectady location!“

“Not only does Grano have amazing food, but their customer service is also fantastic! I went there recently before a show at Proctors, and unfortunately the kitchen was a little behind, and we did not have enough time to eat. When leaving Proctors, our server was waiting outside the theater to give us our food to take home. They really went above and beyond. I will definitely be going back soon!“

“Food was amazing. Had so much food I left with dinner lol. Wonderful customer service and very friendly. The dining area was very clean. 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!“

“THE BEST!!!❤️ Food and folks are AMAZING, must try!!“

“Awesome hometown feel of a place. Great trivia. They do tons of other events weekly too. Great beer. They do food trucks which is so neat. But make sure to check website to see if they are having food truck when you go or else they only will have beer. Nice area inside but in the summer and fall they have huge outdoor patio with tons of tables, chairs, fire pits etc. Amazing family place.“

“We absolutely loved our food. It was amazing. Eggplant fries were really good. One of the best spanakopita & Rueben. We all got stuff and split it. Was really good. I really liked our waitress, she was sweet with my son. I enjoy waitresses that make you feel really comfortable and she did. This will be our new breakfast spot.“

“Very happy with first time eating here.. Chicken Parmesan was the best I've had in a long time. Service was great. Next time I would like to try the veal. The only thing I would change is the portion of chicken you give. I would go a little bigger for what your charging“

“We are so happy we chose Stella for our daughter's Bridal Shower brunch. The private room was perfect for a small group; the service was wonderful; and every brunch option was absolutely delicious. The desserts were delectable too. A special thank you to Ali for coordinating every aspect of the event. We couldn't recommend you higher!“

“Enjoy the good service & food. 👍“

“Quick drink after dinner, great spot“

“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“

“Wings wings wings utica club“

“Scottis Restaurant is outstanding. The Mussels Marinara Fra Diavolo is one of the best dishes I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked with a bold, spicy sauce. My wife loves the veal parm. Owner Guy is an excellent chef and a genuinely great person. Service is fast, friendly, and attentive. Highly recommend and will be back.“

“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!“

“Their customer service for catering was outstanding! Nikki and Kimmy went above and beyond and staff at pickup were equally as helpful. An "art" that seems rare these days. Every dish we ordered was delicious and disappeared quickly. Thanks again for a job well done! We'll be back.“

“My first time in Schenectady, such a great quaint town with tons of history. I was in town to meet with my daughter for dinner and they had the night market. I was with my pup chose this place for their and outdoor seating, they were very super friendly, the service is excellent and the food was delicious, definitely will be back.“

“Their wanton soup has actual healing powers, I'm not even exaggerating. I don't care what illness you are suffering from, get the soup. It will cure you. Also they hands down have the best chinese food on the planet. Ive had friends stay with me from L.A. and they could not believe how good this food was. Just go here and be nice to the staff, this family has been serving Rotterdam for 30+ years. They deserve all the best.“

“Hubby brought home food from Karam yesterday for the first time ever...we were blown away! Fresh and absolutely delicious!! So glad hubby works in Schenectady we’ll be regulars! YUM!“

“excellent food and prices“

“Loved the crust but wasn't overwhelmed with the complete flavor of a slice with tomato. Didn't realize that it didn't have tomato sauce too though or I would've made another choice. Actually, there's so many options but it's a guess what many are and I don't eat meat. I'd try this spot again!“

“Love Love Love Lorenzo's! (518 Foodies card holders get 10% off). They have the BEST breakfast! The home fries are to die for! The chorizo egg and cheese is also delicious! Really, you can't go wrong.“

“Food is always excellent and the service can't be beat.“

“First time ever!!!! Staff was incredible!!! Food was amazing ( Mac& Cheese with Chicken) The best I have ever had. Most of it came home with us. Definitely a very beautiful Irish establishment. Will definitely be coming back. Worth a 45 minute trip.“

“Just had the Mac n cheese with brisket, I eat a lot of BBQ but this was the BEST I have ever had! Perfect blend of smoke and seasoning! Highly recommend!! And they gave us the last of the brisket for free! Good people!! 🐷“

“nice local Tavern. always friendly..“

“sorry I bothered you today I was looking for the Amazon driver.“

“I could not love the gluten-free cheese pizza more than I did. I am so picky when it comes to gluten-free crust, but this one was everything good. No complaints. Cheese was fantastic. This is the first time that I have gone to the restaurant since they had new owners, and was pleasantly surprised. Staff was very friendly and the pizza certainly did not disappoint. I'm looking forward to trying other things on their menu.“

“Food is awesome. Remo the owner/manager is always pleasant , along with wife Morgan and staff.. They always greet you with a smile. There chef salad, turkry and tuna subs and fries“

“Food is always excellent and the service can't be beat.“

“Visited for the first time yesterday and was blown away! The space is next level, the beer super delicious and the service was impeccable. Sawyer was the most amazing, caring and fun-loving ambassador of Frog Alley. Can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend you stop in if you’re in the area.“

“great curries, summer rolls and pad thai. The Kaeng Pa was way too hot for me to eat, though. Be sure to ask how spicy the dishes are before ordering.“

“Excellent classic diner experience. Food was exactly as it should be. Home fries were fluffy and not greasy (and NO peppers!). Eggs and hash and bacon all treated with respect. And a bargain to boot, coffee and breakfast for two for $23, we left a double tip for the great food and service.“

“Addendum: dined at the bar solo tonight and it was just as good. The service was quick and efficient. I repeated choices from the prior visit specifically the Caesar salad and the crabcake appetizer. Both were great, although the crabcakes were clearly overly salted, although it may have been the romulade. The check was presented quickly and overall and a great solo meal.

Our first time here. Early dinner seated promptly. A booth in back could not hear the casino noise. Taken care of by Terrance who did a great job. Checked in often requests handled promptly.

Entrees are in the mid 30’s and up. Salads in the high teens and sides in the teens as well.

A cosmopolitan was delivered made as requested. The warm rolls were superb and addictive! “Everything bagel” butter was perfect on the bread.

We had two salads two apps and a side. The chopped salad has great with kale and romaine as well as yellow beets apples and a maple vinaigrette. Wonderful cold and crisp. The wedge contained the usual plus onions. Rather than one large iceberg wedge there were multiple pieces of lettuce.

For dinner we had a shrimp cocktail…4 large shrimp (10-12 size I’d guess) with a cocktail sauce that could have been spicier. The shrimp were carefully de-shelled. The crab cake appetizer was perfect. Two large crab cakes served
On remoulade sauce. All crab, no filler. A slight bit oilier than I’d like but superb. We also share a ($12!) baked potato served with bacon butter and sour cream on the side. One small complaint-we were charged for shredded cheese, not requested nor were we told about the charge. Potato was great.

We passed on dessert. Note to Duke’s management-improve the dessert menu. Describe the items don’t just list them. Tell us something about the cheesecake or explain “hot chocolate cake”. The menu is boring and not enticing.

Overall wonderful and relaxing, albeit expensive! We will be back!“

“This is my favorite Chinese fast food place. The stuff I’ve had reminds me of China Town, the pork chow fun is particularly good. Great hot and sour soup and the golden chicken fingers are addicting. House special fried rice is everything. Very friendly staff and speedy, courteous delivery drivers. I feel like family ❤️“

“It was late Saturday afternoon and I decided to treat myself. I ordered the house special fried rice and a pork egg roll. Deee-Licious! And it made me happy if that’s possible! To top it off my fortune was “Embrace the joy of simple pleasures this Saturday”. Wow.“

“Great staff! Great food! Nice time.“

“Best pizza in town, hands down.“
