Joe's Tavern — Restaurant in City of Cohoes

My wife and I went for dinner. It was phenomenal. The waitress was very easy to talk to and very attentive. Food appears made to order as it took a little longer that expected, but it was very much worth the wait.

Appetizers Lobster/scallops pot pie Streamed clams.

Entrees Baked scallops with rice Linguini with white clam sauce

Everything was incredibly tasty.

The pot pie was considered "small" but we thought that it could easily be considered a meal if you're not starving. My wife was worried about how full it made her. She worried if she'd be able to eat/finish her dinner choice, scallops.

She was somewhat full when the scallops came out. They were tasty and tender. She wound up eating several and bringing home several more. We can't wait until tomorrow for leftovers.

I had streamed clams, a baker's dozen of 13, very tender with great melted butter. That was followed by the linguini with clams. Wow, it was loaded with clams bits and clams in shells with perfectly cooked pasta.

Both of our meals were delicious.

Before I forget, the freshest bread I think I ever had was served steaming hot fresh from the oven with cinnamon maple butter. Holy $hit. That butter was amazing. They should offer it for sale. It's that good.

Seeing what other folks were having brought to their tables also looked delicious.

Warming: If it's a hot item be aware, it will be hot -to very hot. Be careful. Ever been warned your food could be too hot? You have now been warned.

I was excited to try this hole-in-the wall after reading the reviews and was hopeful when we walked into a crowded bar on a Tuesday night. The back room houses a modest dining area with a pleasant noise volume. The service was lacking entirely; we never got the water we asked for, serving weren't on the table (we had to grab off a nearby table) and we were never given bread. The service was also glacial and judging by the temperature of our food when it finally did arrive, this wasn't the kitchen's fault. The menu is simple and oriented toward pub crowds, but offered almost nothing for anyone with dietary restrictions, notably folks who are sensitive to gluten, casein, fish and/or who are vegan or vegetarian. I'm not sure if fries aren't on the menu, or there just weren't any that night. I would have stuck around to try the entrees, but it's not worth another 2+ hours of my time after spending that just...

We order pizza and garlic knots from Joe’s weekly. We ordered today and the garlic knots were burnt and hard as rocks. The pizza had hardly any cheese and was over cooked. Very hard to chew. We are very disappointed. I hope this was a one time mistake. Last week we ordered boneless wings and they were so over cooked the fork couldn’t penetrate them. I hope the food gets better before they open their new restaurant.

Mike Forin, we decided to try your sausage pizza and garlic knots again (cause it’s our favorite) and SUCCESS!!! The pizza and knots were excellent!! I knew it had to be a fluke that our last order was not good at all. Glad you’re back on your game. Keep up the...
