This diner has changed ownership many times, for a variety of reasons. I think the current set up is the right fit! The father/chef/manager/owner is ever present, making sure diners are enjoying themselves. His daughter is in the front of the house, seating, serving, cashiering, but with a degree of professionalism that elevated our experience. Great memory - remembering a takeout cinnamon roll for Mom, without asking for it twice. Refills, follow up, takeout containers for the leftovers from nice big portions, and more homemade desserts in the display. Carrot cake? Chocolate cream pie? Blackberry tarts? They all looked and tasted great. The owner greeted us, monitored the floor, adjusted the a/c, and was also working at the counter. I worked in restaurant operations starting in 1975, so I can tell when someone competent is at the helm. The Silver Spoon Cafe is one of the few true diners left and is conveniently located on Route 9W, just about 15 miles south of Albany in Ravenna. Good luck,...

She came to our table and served all of the white customers with a base level of rudeness, but hardly served our friend at all. She hit him in the head with a plate and didnt even apologize. She glared at him every time she came to the table. She brought out his food considerably later than all of ours. She refused to hand things directly to him and instead handed them to us to hand to him. Used to love going to this place and my whole family and many of our friends are regulars. After this disturbing experience they’ve lost a lot of regulars including my whole family. I hope this woman realizes that everyone is equal and there is no room for that hatred in this our world. Absolutely disgusted and upset by the...
