This is clearly one of the best restaurants in the Capital District. The food was excellent and the service was professional and friendly. The Porterhouse for two was done perfectly and was tender and delicious. The octopus and the crème brûlée were also superb. The entire experience was a treat.

Table for four celebrating Father’s Day and my 77th birthday. We consider this to be our favorite restaurant ever and Jim Rua is absolutely the best. We all had different entrées and appetizers, and they were all delicious. My six-year-old grandson came with us and they made a special effort to serve him something that he would like. We will always come back. I would recommend it to anyone.
