The food was really incredible... We had a variety from pork belly appetizers to escargot. A wonderful mixed greens house salad which was delightful. And of course the cremini mushroom over bucatelli pasta... Amazing... The owner came by to see if everything was ok. The whole experience was something I haven't experienced in a long time. Delicious food in an intimate atmosphere. It was alive and the place to be in downtown Albany... Just great energy... Worth the money too. The cooking to perfection was really nailed. It's those attention to details that matters as a wife of a chef. The food was made with really good ingredients, you could tell with every bite. The escargot was so tender and the po boys with the pork belly and cucumber were delicious too. I loved the combinations of flavors. Next time I think I will have to try that salmon. Let us not forget the moment I had the cremini mushroom reduction in a creamy delicious sauce and bucatelli pasta, oh my... I wanted more but I needed to stop and savor it. It isn't necessary to order the chicken on the side. The mushrooms are perfect all by themselves. As for drinks we had water. They kept that coming too. Just a really nice experience for my husband and myself. Thank you!...
Read moreI cant comment on the food as I wasnt able to try it...
I entered and was ignored, so ai left, verified it was open & returned.
This time I waited at the bar as the two servers just stared at me.
One began shouting someone's name, yet still no acknowledgement of my presence - nor basic customer service, like a greeting.
There was one orher customer with a child, who had been served.
The two servers were talking amongst themselves, while one seemed to be filling an order.
Rhey stared me down, yet neither said hi.
I called upon exiting for the second time. Whomever answered - a female voice - was neither surprised nor apologetic.
No attempt to make amends and, despite stating I just stepped out, she didnt invite me back in.
Was She the name they were heralding that refused to come out? Did she SEE me & not wish to serve me?
I'll never know and this place wont see my...
Read moreI came here for dinner on a Saturday night. It was not crowded at all, we were able to choose our table off in a quiet corner. The plates are small, we ordered 5 things for 2 people. The food was good, only problem was 11 dollars for the golden triangles. Seems like a bit pricey for just some tofu with a little sauce. Zoodle salad and vodka rigatoni were our favorites. We also got the fried ice cream which was delicious. The service was good, my only issue is that while we were eating our dessert someone came in and was asking all the guests and employees for money and if we would buy him food. Although I understand people being hungry and down on their luck so to speak, it is very off putting while you are eating inside a nice restaurant. Not to mention the guy smelled terrible. The server let it happen and didn't ask him to leave. It made the experience significantly...
