I was searching for a healthy low carb breakfast option in Albany International Airport this morning and almost everything available were highly processed options or high in carbs. I even went to the airport store with souvenirs and magazines thinking I might just get something light like a cheese, crackers, and fruit box but it was ridiculously expense at $12 for a few slices of cheese and couple of crackers and a handful of blueberries and dried apricots. I finally though to go to Silks Saratoga Bistro, a sit down restaurant, and boy, they sure brighten my morning. First of all the waitress was so friendly, polite, and helpful, it was a delight to be there. I ended up ordering the BLT omelete and it was so delicious!! Since I didn't want any toast they offered grilled tomatoes instead. It turned out to be one of the most satisfying omletes I've had in a while. The plate was so nicely put together and the service was excellent. It maybe my goto option for airport meals in the future. I might have paid more overall for my breakfast, but all the ingredients were fresh and the experience was 100%. It was...

We see how busy the staff was! 2 wait staff were managing the whole bar AND taking all the table orders! Our person was Kristen, and she was FABULOUS! Food was better of all the airport food we have had. Remember, they don't pay 5 star chef's salaries at the airport. Cheddar burger and fries were hot & tasty. I would recommend Silks at Albany anytime you go. It will be on our stop list for every flight. Thank you Kristen! You were the BEST!
Since Google won't allow you to review a place twice, we had to add our last visit to Silks. Kathy was our server LAST visit, and she was the BEST! This time, Kathy said we had Theresa. NOW we have THREE favorites! She said just remember Mother Theresa...... mistake with me. I said "Mother, can I have another drink?" Theresa was absolutely fantastic! If you fly in or out of Albany, stop there for a drink, a bite and a most wonderful experience! This trip I recommend the...
Read moreThe waitress commented that she didn’t like the saying on my shirt (after she misinterpreted it) and walked through the restaurant expressing her opinion to other customers. She forgot my second order because it took forever to be brought out and it was soggy when i did get it. I said my flight was boarding and I need to pay. She went to get a box for the food she just brought and stopped and had a conversation with another employee both on the floor and then another in the kitchen. When she brought the box I said again, I need to pay because she still didn’t return with the check. I barely made the flight. The bruschetta was already soggy and it was apparent that it was sitting for several minutes by how much had soaked into the bread. Never got to eat that but the steak tacos...
