“We went on Saturday for a wonderful Cacio e Pepe experience. Chef Ali and the staff are so welcoming and attentive. The Cacio e Pepe was fantastic and I enjoyed learning about the dish. I also sampled the tiramisu and a limoncello spritz - both delicious. We will be back!“
“The Daisy is a cute chic taco and margarita place. The tacos are fusion, they have a bulgogi one with kimchi and a fried chicken and a coconut shrimp one plus others. Not authentic Mexican tacos but stills delicious. Classy place.The margaritas are strong! I saw a sign for buy one get one margaritas on Wednesdays. They have a decent amount of tables even though it’s a small place, there is a back room with more tables.The servers were attentive and friendly.The coconut margarita was creamy and I liked the coconut shreds on the rim. Margaritas and tacos are all around $13. Tacos come with 2. Bill can definitely add up but it’s worth it. Great environment to catch up with friends.The chip appetizer with pico de gallo was delicious. The chips had a great crisp, they tasted deep fried. Perfectly salted. I liked my coconut shrimp tacos the best. 2 big meaty shrimp in each taco, crunchy and cooked well and the pineapple in it gave it a nice sweetness. The fried chicken tacos were a mix of dark and light meat chunks, which were very tender and soft. Though a bit too soft for my likening of chicken texture. And the sauce has a very strong cilantro flavor.If I’m in the area again I would love to come back and try other tacos and margarita flavors!“
“Support local! The staff at Homebrew Emporium is kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. The store is well stocked with just about everything you need for brewing (and if it's not in stock it can be ordered). Fair prices and good quality merchandise.There's a wide variety of bottling materials to choose from, both glass and plastic. If you don't see it, ask for it!My favorite place to shop for homebrew supplies!“
“Have the Miso Macadamia Encrusted Halibut. You will love yourself for this! It is the most amazing plate you will ever taste! The friendly service and world-class presentation will help you entertain family/ friends or business partners. Their wine selection has a lot of promise. I saw some hard to find single vineyard bottles fit for the most demanding wine connoisseur.“
“Anthony Bourdain said to have a beer in an empty pub, and that's what I did here.Doubles as a homebrew store.What I loved about this place is that the styles are either old school - think English IPA or oatmeal stout - or straight up historical. Definitely a change of pace. I enjoyed all the beers I tried.Owner was super knowledgeable and friendly.Prices were good, and I'm glad they were open on a Monday, which isn't the case for even the bigger brewpubs in town.Old school, DIY place that I'm glad to have visited.“
“Had dinner there last night and it was excellent. This is the location of the former Lombardo's restaurant on lower Madison Avenue. This is a new Albany location of the legendary Hattie's in Saratoga Springs, which has been serving up southern fare since the early 1930s. There is off-street parking next to the restaurant and in a lot directly across the street. Ambiance inside is lively and the renovations in the space kept many of the old Albany elements with a mix of New Orleans, all updated and welcoming. The cocktail I had - a Vieux Carre - was mixed to perfection. Jambalaya, grit cakes, key lime pie all outstanding. Friends had the famous fried chicken and the ribs - rave reviews. Excellent service. Highly recommended.Parking: Next to the restaurant and across the street.“
“Tonight I'm on a little adventure in my new home city. My first stop is The Hill, Beer & Wine Garden. Their lengthy list of "Euro" beers was extremely enticing. I had the Paulaner Hefe-Weizen and Fiddlehead IPA. The latter has a lot of personality and I highly recommend! I'm not sure if I'll go anywhere else tonight as I'm already making new friends and feeling comfy and cozy... Cheers to Kevin and to Troy, the home of Uncle Sam!“
