What’s your address ? I will drive it out to you. Within a 1/2 hour this awesome guy Justin pulled into my driveway with all our food. Hot food and cold salad !! Thank you. Way to go!!“

“Since we lost our favorite place in the last year.
We stopped in a week ago,
what a wonderful place.
I miss NYC and Hong Kong.
But to have this local.
Thank goodness.
Place an order have a grand chat with the lovely lady (sorry we did not exchange names) at the bar. Have delicious food was a surprise.
This is our new go to, luncheon has grand discounts to eat later. It made me lonesome for Hong Kong.“

“I went to this place to pick up breakfast for two. The place was very clean and bright and the staff was very attentive. I’m trying to diet so I got a poached egg on toast and it was great. Loved whatever they seasoned it with. The other party got a big breakfast: eggs hash browns, etc and was raving about it. Nice place !“

“So delicious! Even the carnivores love the food🤤“

“First time visitor. Food was delicious. Staff was attentive, friendly. Would absolutely return to try more options. The lunch buffet is a step above others in the area.“

“The owners are amazing! They always great me by first name when i walk in, they are super accommodating to my gluten allergy! And the food is amazing. Always a good feeling food.“

“Had a delightful experience, from the amazing cigar rolls (better than any cheese sticks I have ever had) to the pistachio espresso and then the Turkish Manti was so flavourful! The icing on the cake was the blueberry creme brulee! Amazing and would highly recommend.“

“Just ate lunch here. Food was perfect. They even use purple rice in the bibim bap. Loved it. Cozy atmosphere. Great service. Will go back.“

“A diamond hidden in plain sight! Don’t miss scallion pancake, fried pot stickers, chicken satay with peanut sauce, tom kha soup, drunken noodles, basil fried rice ... we were stuffed to the gills, but then we saw the dessert menu. Sticky rice and mango ... and 4 forks please! 🤣 I’m uncomfortably full (my fault) but can’t wait to go back.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience! I took 12 employees out to celebrate the holiday season and see a show in Albany. From the time we called for a reservation, right through dinner, the entire staff, and especially our server Casey were so welcoming and accommodating. The drinks, food, and service were all superb! Casey made us feel like we were the only thing that mattered in the restaurant, while the kitchen and bar handled some special requests with ease! In a world where the meaning of hospitality seems to have been forgotten by so many, this restaurant still knows what it means, and executes flawlessly. I highly recommend, and will definitely be back when in the Albany area. (I may even have to make a special trip back just for this restaurant!)“

“We stumbled on the place by chance and were not disappointed. The bartender, Jill was very friendly. Our meals were full of flavor. My husband got the chicken parm and I the barramundi. Finished by a tiramisu martini with a side of tiramisu. Sooooo good. We will definitely go back! Oh! The fresh bread and olive oil topped with tapenade was delish as well!“

“I’ve been looking forward to checking out the restaurant, Dove & Deer, since I first encountered their food when their chef was highlighted at the annual Summer Gala fundraiser here in Hudson last year. Their chef served an incredible amuse-bouche with gooseberries and the chef who was there sharing the amuse-bouches was wonderfully charming and the food was incredible! I was so impressed that I’ve been following their social media since then and have been looking forward to visiting the restaurant all the while! I was recently in the area and while I unfortunately wasn’t able to visit the restaurant in person- I was able to order through Door Dash and the meal was incredible! We ordered an assortment of things to share and were thrilled with everything! -Spicy Kale Caesar with shredded kale, croutons, and shaved parmesan! -Truffle Parm Fries with scallions and truffle aioli! -Mini Wagyu Beef Hotdogs made with wagyu beef, served in buttery toasted buns, and topped with mustard, ketchup, and relish! -Hot Lobster Dip made with lobster claw and knuckle meat, gruyere, gouda, fontina, spinach, scallion, and crispy wontons! It is often very difficult for a restaurant to adjust their menu to translate to takeout; and for them to do so where every single dish was not only delicious but also mostly with a great presentation, says a great deal about their attention to detail. This is a restaurant I look forward to dining at again many more times over the years!“

“Pollo alla Rusa, perfection, bread and butter, perfection, vegetables, perfection, portion sizes ample. BYOB Chef seasoned my meal expertly! Atmosphere could use a bit of upgrading. Best real Italian meal I have had in Florida.“

“My VERY FAVORITE restaurant ❤️❤️❤️“

“We had a joyous birthday celebration at my son’s favorite restaurant. Akanomi’s staff and sushi chefs, itamae, excelled at all endeavors. Vivan was spot on with her suggestions and service. She anticipated all of our needs, especially with our children. The chicken soba soup, tuna carpaccio and Hawaii Rolls were our favorites. Then the sashimi / sushi mixed roll party docked. It was stunning in presentation, offerings and taste. Oh my, it was very impressive. A most wonderful time was had by all.“

“Fast and friendly service! My toddler and I loved the food. And we enjoyed the retro diner vibes and chatting with employees who made us feel welcome!“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat around Latham, I enjoy the food and the warm atmosphere and service from staff. I haven't gotten any better tasting lamb kabab around here but at Zaitoon!!!“

“Amazing food, awesome customer service, and affordable prices.“

“Awesome spot 💯 Food and prices were exceptional, the bartender was super friendly, and she was even cool with me taking over the jukebox for about 45 minutes 😂 Would go out of my way to stop again!“

“Absolutely delectable. I thoroughly enjoyed my takeout. I recommend everything I got pan fried pork dumplings, spicy chicken dumplings, pork filled chili oil wontons, spare rib, and red bean filled buns. I would definitely be reordering from Taiwan Noodle again! I look forward to trying more items on the menu.

Apirl 2026 Update:
I finally made it in person. The service was friendly, and fast. The atmosphere was welcoming and inviting. It was easy to talk. It is a small local restaurant that I highly recommend giving a try! All of the food was delectable. The bubble tea and thai tea was delicious.“

“Great sandwiches and coffee. Tradisional Vietnamese. The bread and everything in the sandwich was as exspected. The coffee was so good. Ivwish i could get this coffee every morning. Happy New Year!“

“My teenager has summer crew practice across the way from Eggy’s at the boathouse. When I pick her up from the river we stop and enjoy a delicious egg sandwich at Eggy’s. My teenagers are so excited when I pull into the lot every summer. Thank you for being fun.“

“Jessica was absolutely amazing to work with for our daughter’s wedding. Helping us out with NYS wines, to offering amazing ciders and cocktails for the wedding. The day of the wedding their customer service was top notched. I highly recommend them for any special event you may want to have.“

“lovely atmosphere with delicious gourmet American cuisine. it was a lovely new year dinner. staff very friendly“

“Our first time in and we are so happy we chose to stop! The pork chop dinner was fantastic!! Our waitress, Breadan, was awesome! She made our experience perfect! We wouldn't change anything about our visit ❤️ -Richard and Jeannie (see, I have to spell my name for everyone too 🙃)“

“Great beer selection….service attentive and friendly! Had the best Cob salad 🥗“

“We stopped here on a Wednesday before a show at the arena. We were packed in like sardines, with nowhere left to sit and the kitchen had run out of food. And yet the place still felt chill and welcoming. The bartender/owner was attentive and super friendly, despite the absolute chaos that must have been happening behind the bar. Any employees we saw were friendly and informal. Exactly what you want from a dive in Albany.

I have social anxiety and so rarely go out to pubs. But I will absolutely be going back here. Hopefully when the kitchen still has some food left.“

“A jewel of a discovery. When we found other establishments on New Scotland Ave closing their dining rooms by 9pm on a Saturday night, SakeCafe was graciously open, serving delicious food (we tried a little of everything from sushi to Udon) and with the best tableside service I've experienced in literally years. Oh, and the hot sake is splendid and at $6/bottle an unbeatable value. SO happy to know they are just around the corner. Sorry bao buns place but you lose, SakeCafe wins.“

“We visited here at the end of a bicycle ride from Manhattan and had the best time!! The bartender was fabulous, we even learned about a new drink (to us) called Fernet-Branca. We so enjoyed meeting Serena, King, and Edward - so if you're out there hit us up! It was a magical evening 🥰“

“Very good food and service. Also has gluten free options.“

“I've been coming here for years, lunch breaks, dinners, just coming in for fun, I absolutely love this place and is one of my favorite pizza places in the area and could compete with NYC pizza as far as how amazing it is. 10/10 highly recommend“

“This place is amazing. I didn't know what to expect going in to the all you can eat restaurant. I was happily surprised that it's not buffet style. Servers and bussers. The restaurant is nicely styled and comfortable. The greeters and wait staff couldn't have been kinder or more professional. $28.99 is worth every penny just for that. The longest we had to wait between orders was no more than 5 minutes. The food was fresh, perfectly presented and absolutely delicious! I really can't find the superlatives to describe it. Everything combined made this experience one of the best outings I've ever had. I HIGHLY recommend this place.“

“My family and I had the most amazing dining experience here at Normanside. The staff is extremely friendly, the food was exceptional, and the atmosphere is perfect. Great job team Normanside. Highly recommend anyone to come in and experience it for yourself!!!“

“Before jetting off to the warmer South, it is important to get a proper yankee breakfast at an iconic diner. Great food and service and all it right with the world.“

“To begin with, I was surprised by the option of BYOB; we'll know for next time! Tammy was an exceptional waitress giving us some insight to many of the dishes on the menu. Her outgoing personality was enjoyable! She was hustling to all the tables to get the other customers orders in a timely manner. The menu was mind blowing of the many choses. What we ordered was absolutely delicious! Thank you to the Chef for making a fresh batch of arancini; eating them took me back to the time I was stationed in Sicily! We will definitely be back again!!!!!“

“We had a lovely family gathering in the Tatami room. Food was delicious & service was wonderful. It was a delightful afternoon. Great way to say goodby to the pandemic. Thanks Jackie!“

“Stopped in for lunch and will now make it a point to stop by every week!

The fish was fresh, the nigiri and rolls were well prepared. And I love the quiet atmosphere. Complimentary soup is always a plus (and was delicious). The staff were also very attentive and pleasant. All around a great experience

I will for sure be coming back!“

“my sister and I have been there 3 times, wonderful waitress, good food, reasonable prices. she comes from conn. coming again in 2 weeks, probably be there/“
