    Love this restaurant and look forward to Albany visits. Quiet Tuesday night. Service always good. Great old school (warm wood) atmosphere. Food wasn’t up to usual standard. Maybe an off night. Artichoke app was just ok. My Shrimp with pasta. The dish wasn’t that warm. The pasta was heavy. It used to be a light pasta to go with the shrimp. Shrimp was just ok. It was just ok. And not inexpensive. My friend had the ravioli special and enjoyed it. Lemon cake dessert and coffee were good. Will be back.

    Second visit. Came with friends so we have sampled paella, halibut, truffle fries, protein options, kale Caesar, roasted carrots and créme brulee. Everything top notch! The chef has a marvelously light touch so the quality of the ingredients really shines through. Wait staff courteous, friendly and respectful. Great experience at a reasonable price. Kudos!

    Great experience. We’ve had similar omakase / tasting menu dinners, but not in Albany. Will go back. IMO, the upgrade is worth the extra.
