Best hollandaise I've ever had! Our waiter was so kind. He was attentive but not too much. I asked him for some hot sauce and he brought me 5 to choose from. Very cool local spot for breakfast!

“A southern brunch that was so good. 4 of us went to celebrate a birthday and we all enjoyed it immensely. I had the Dad and it was absolutely delicious. We loved the fried green tomatoes, and the tater tots. I had a bourbon bacon bloody Mary that was out of this world. I can't wait to go back!Parking: Street parking was available and they have a lot behind the building.“

“My wife and I do so miss dining out at Cafe Italia since we moved South 7 years ago. Miss seeing and talking with Maria, Mike, Jimmy & of course Paulie. Miss the wonderful smells and the atmosphere that's unbeatable in the Capital district. Best of all, the quality of Italian foods served at this restaurant. Tried a majority of the other Italian restaurants in the tri-city area but none compare to C.I. Definitely will get back here in the near future. Need a fix!!!“

“Wow. I ordered doordash from here because I was staying in a hotel with no access to a car and man was it amazing. Got the lamb chops with rice and it came with a side salad. I got a side of cilantro mint chutney on the side. I also got these little lebanese samosa looking things. got the cube cake cinnamon roll thing and my husband loved it. The walnut bakalava was really good and crispy! Writing this review so I remember how good it was so I can order again!“

“Wonderful food, atmosphere and staff!“

“Great home cooked food. Great Customer service“

“Loved my breakfast at Jack's Diner. Ordered pupusas from the Specials Menu that includes Salvadorian and Mexican selections. Also. the coffee is very good. Check out the menu on the online ordering link. 5 Stars“

“Wife and I were in the area for an overnight stop on a road trip and craving some Vietnamese food. We couldn't have been happier with Saigon Spring! All of our food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Some of the best pho I have ever had with amazing meatballs. If you're in the area and craving some fantastic Vietnamese food, go here!“

“Great place! Awesome drinks! Great food!!“

“We were seated as soon as we arrived, which was nice. Our waitress, Liz Cox, was excellent. She was friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, efficient, and very engaging. Once we placed our order, however, we waited for over an hour for our entrees to come, which was a very long wait, especially since we didn’t order an appetizer. It was nice that Liz stopped at our table and chatted with us when she could while we waited. Our meals were very good. I really appreciate that there are so many gluten free options on the menu, as I have to eat gluten free. We will be back again.“

“Really great, authentic Chinese food. Most was just good but there were two standouts for me. One was the spicy wonton and the other was pork belly buns. They were really exceptional. I could make a meal out of 2 orders of spicy wontons! Need to go back to see what else is good.“

“The wings are amazing. They have them down to a science.“

“This post is over due, but I attended a Christmas party at the Klam'r in early December and it was spectacular! We had the entire dining area to ourselves with a band. The food was buffet style (presumably because it was a larger party/gathering). Several members of our party raved about the ribs & mac n' cheese that was served. Drink pours were generous & staff was kind + helpful. Although tucked away in the woods, the Klam'r is worth checking out. It has a nice family feel to it.“

“Went for the first time with a group of friends; not sure what to expect or to order. The staff was extremely helpful and the food was delicious!! I will definitely be going back!“

“I always come here for the duck and the panna cotta... The duck here is the best in the area and consist since they opened. The potato and leek soup was also very good. My hubby got the salad, pasta special and the amaretto cherry Gelato and said it was delicious as well. I recommend all the foods here but note the bolognese here has cardimon which throws me off and the only place I don't prefer bolognese... But the duck is my fav anyways. They are also attentive to my food allergy here.“

“I went to meet a group of friends that I hadn't met before. We had a group dinner I forgot to bring cash I had a credit card only. The waitress handled it very well. I've ordered food from pasta Payne before but I've never eaten there. It was very nice inside. Next time we arranged to meet I have to ask not to be up on this step section. I didn't know it had a stepped up section. Everything was nice the bread was good that they gave us as we ordered they had Earl Gray tea which was awesome cuz some places don't carry it. I didn't want to get a meal so I got appetizers calamari. There's a spot on. I had a nice crunch it had a nice texture it was awesome flavored. We came with the marinara sauce that was that was good I'm not in the marinara but I know it was good. I also ordered from the side menu, Fagioli Cavolo. Greens and beans. My dad made this every year and I hated it never ate it I think I tried it once. I had it at a restaurant a year ago and I actually kind of liked it so I thought I'll order it here. I actually kind of love it. It looks beautiful. It was so bright and green and the beans were just perfect and the sauce just tasted awesome. It's like a soupy broth it was in. I don't know if they used to meet soup broth like chicken or if it's just the Bean Juice but it tastes like maybe there might have been cheese like Romano or parmigiana. I don't really know what was in it but it was awesome. I was incredibly happy I ordered it. I didn't take a picture of the food when I was there but everyone knows what calamari looks like there's not great kind you get that has icky breading and there's a really lovely kind that has a delicate perfect breading and the delicate perfect breading is what I got. I did take a picture of The Greens and Beans the next day when I ate the the rest of it. It was still amazing. It's a shame my pictures do not do the food Justice because it was just fantabulous. It was so fresh tasting. I thought I hated kale but it turns out if you know what you're doing kale is amazing.“

“Best Banh Mi outside of Vietnam“

“Had a fun lunch date with my best friend. Good service great food“

“The best food in the area service is great and the help there is fast and friendly, especially Shirley“

“Going to start off with how great their food is- 13/10 HOWEVER- I think we can agree the staff is also what makes the experience dining out even better. Joyce is by far one of the most considerate, kind and sweetest humans I’ve ever met, w a hint of spice (which is very appreciated in today’s day). She went above and beyond to help me with getting my receipt that I left behind by accident that I needed for reimbursement. She also gave me some seriously great life advice in a span of our 20 minute convo, also 20/10 enjoyed. In the world we live in today, more people should be like Joyce.“

“I went here for my brother's bday. Brought our own cake.Great vibe. Food delicious seriously the best wings in Albany. Wings are fresh n crispy outside juicy inside. Lots of variety flavors. My sister had the shrimp wrap and everything was fresh and taste great. DRINKS are great. And service was excellent. Safe location and clean bathrooms. Big parking lot too right across the street.“

“We came in for lunch before dropping off my husband for a flight out. We started with a white miso with soft tofu and seaweed before having beef tataki, which was tender and perfectly flavored with scallions and their house sauce.Japanese couple running the front of house, kitchen and sushi bar. The wait for the sushi, which we chose a la carte, was worth every bite. The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the fish was fresh. We had the eel and avocado, yellowtail, tuna and salmon rolls. Our favorite was the yellowtail as it was so flavorful and fresh tasting by comparison to other times we have eaten it at other restaurants. The service was attentive and timely.Happy to return here the next time we pass through Albany.Parking: Located in a mini shopping center there was sufficient parking.Kid-friendliness: They offer a kid menu with three options. Works for most kids preferences. Our kid was fine with eating what we had. They also had high chairs available for younger kids.“

“I recommend the corn beef hash. It’s the best I’ve ever had!! I’ve been to the diner many times and have always had a great experience! The bread pudding is out of this world.“

“Excellent buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and friendly and attentive staff!!“

“Visited this distillery as part of a birthday weekend celebration. The tour and tasting was super fun and very informative. Wish we lived closer so we could visit again as the bar area has a great vibe and would be a great place to spend a few hours on the weekend. Highly recommend the tour or just an afternoon/eve visit!“

“The food was amazing and the service was even better! Thank you.“

“My bridal shower held at Brown's Brewing Company was nothing short of perfection! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The ambiance was enchanting, with beautiful decor that set the tone for a day of celebration. Nikki and the staff went above and beyond to ensure every guest felt welcome and attended to, and the attention to detail was impeccable. The catering surpassed our expectations with delicious brunch and refreshing drinks that kept everyone smiling. The venue provided the perfect backdrop for creating cherished memories with loved ones. Thank you, Nikki & Brown's Brewing Company, for making my bridal shower an unforgettable experience!“

“Terrific food, great service!“

“Really good food and it's got cool decor. The cocktails and desserts are delicious but on the small side. The guacamole with chips was really expensive. $17 for a bowl of the version with pineapple and bacon, which was more than my main course. Loved the fries they have as an appetizer. Birria tacos are amazing and the staff is great. The first time I went there was a nice ambience with some music playing at a normal volume. Went on a Tuesday evening next and there was a live DJ playing very loud dance music. That didn't seem to fit the vibe and it was difficult to have conversations.“

“This place has great atmosphere, drinks, and service. What more can you expect from a distillery/cocktail bar? It’s nice to have a cocktail focused place, with bartenders that know how to make them. They can also make mocktails and have wine and beer available. You can also tell them what kinds of things you like, and they will make you something good.“

“Dereck was amazing as soon as we walked in with greeting us. He was also our server and was wonderful. Recommend amazing appetizers. I had the napoleon eggplant and don’t get me started on the bread and pesto dip… delicious. The chef was even accommodating on making my husband chicken Florentine and I had the chicken parm. Really huge portions and well priced but most importantly delicious. Will be back for sure.“

“Delicious food! Friendly and attentive staff Great decor“

“Pint Sized in Albany gives off such a hipster vibe, and I absolutely love it! The beer selection is fantastic, and the customer service is top-notch. Overall, it was a great experience!Located conveniently in the heart of Albany's Center Square neighborhood, this is the first Pint Sized location. Whether you live nearby or are just visiting, it's the perfect spot to grab a growler or mix-four pack and enjoy your favorite craft brews on the stoop or at the bar in their historic space. The patio seating offers a charming ambiance, allowing you to soak in the lively atmosphere of the "Greenwich Village" of the Capital Region.Some favorite activities in the area include enjoying Washington Park (with a beer, of course), grabbing a latte from Stacks, attending free concert series like LarkFest, Art on Lark, Tulip Festival, and Alive at Five, indulging in smash burgers from Herbies, and exploring the Empire State Plaza. Don't forget to check out their Untappd for real-time updates on the draft list and weekly updates on the can selection. Cheers to a fantastic spot in Albany!“

“This place is great. Excellent food and great service. Not over priced but not cheap. They really did a great job with eat in the street. Too bad Cohoes limited that so much because it was a great thing for Cohoes restaurants. Definitely my go to on Remsen St.“

“Excellent lunch , first ever order , fresh great selection love it ! #willbeback“

“Came here with a few colleagues some days ago looking for a nice wine spot. This place is very nice, cozy and intimate. The wine and beers are great. Staff very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The owner came out at some point to check on us and he was great :) On top of the drinks we also had the cheese plate and some spaghetti, both of which were absolutely wonderful. We are not from Albany but if I ever find myself here again I'll definitely be back! Thanks for a great service :)“

“Food and service were absolutely outstanding!! definitely recommend the Eggplant burrata sandwich.. it is out of this world amazing!! I can't wait to come back and try something different“

“Awesome food and staff!!!“

“Never had a bad sandwich fresh meats on the sandwich. The pulled pork is juicy and very tasty. All made fresh rt in front of u and well worth the price. Go to Stewart's and their breakfast sandwiches r near the same price, smaller with soggy bread and rubber band bacon. Would def recommend everyone to go there especially if ur looking for a gd sandwich“

“Whenever I want something quick and healthy with fresh greens, i usually turn to bespoki. their poke tastes fresh, they have fast service and they have a lot of other more satiating, meaty dishes with korean and hawaiian influence. it's a pretty reliable place tonget a quick lunch. they also have korean bingsoos now. i've been wanting bingsoo so bad since moving to troy. so stoked they have it now!“

“Food is always excellent and the service is even better. We love Kay the owner / server.“
