a diner from albany ny
Disappointed and shocked!
I've recently dined at this restaurant (my 3rd attempt..visit)and I have enjoyed the food here, but have dreaded returning for the 3rd time. 1st time I went on recommendations for a date... long wait and ridiculously over priced! Went a 2nd time because a bunch of my friends insisted this time would be better... also very disappointed was charged for 10 drinks I bought only 2 plus a round for my friends (there was 4). The "owner" claimed I was wrong and that I must of drank to much to remember... I only had 2 mind you. The 3rd time I really was not looking forward to it, but went because my boss and co-workers invited me... and you know how that is, had to go. Well 3 times is not a charm. It was even worse than the 1st two times! The owner is two faced... she was very nice and greeted me after the 20 mins wait to be seated (place was dead) however as soon as she went back to her spot at the bar, I over heard her yelling at her bartender, looked heated and the owner then pulled her aside... bartender returned behind the bar and then asked a few of the people at the bar to buy another drink or to leave. I gasped in horror. No longer will I return to eat or drink here. Only two words left to say: "stay away"!

Very good food. The setting is very relaxing w/ dim lighting and candles at every table. Maybe kind of pricy, but it was definately worth it.

Food was excellent. Service was ok. Had reservations for 10 people at 7pm. arrived at 6:50pm was not seated until 7:40pm, apparently reservations mean nothing here. Thought I would be offered at least a complimentary drink or reduction of meal costs
