    This restaurant is a longtime staple of the downtown Albany restaurant scene and consistently delivers very well executed food off of a true brasserie style menu. Had a business dinner. Both myself and my associate ordered the steak cobb salad. Perfectly executed and presented plates and the steak portions were cooked exactly as requested. Quality meat. Reasonably priced wines by the glass and well made cocktails. Service was on point throughout. Although we did not try the evening's features, they added to the overall menu options. If you are in town for business or attending a show or event at the arena, this is a excellent place for a business dinner or pre-show meal. They do it right here.

    The war room was a great experience I went with me and my team. The food was great. Our server was so pleasant and I also give her kudos for also training a new server at the same time. I had the corned beef sandwich that was excellent as well as a huge portion of Mac and cheese. The history around the room of pictures and legislators created great discussion. Overall excellent experience.
