The Ritz On Union
Price: Expensive•Mediterranean•4.6(160)The Ritz on Union has a traditional heritage while bringing a modern flair. We pride ourselves on providing a good sense of value with exquisite taste, presentation, and ambience. We offer Italian Continental dishes, inherent to our Sicilian background, with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options for the most discerning of tastes, and our desserts are simply scrumptious. Enjoy cocktails and drink specials at our full bar.
During the pandemic of 2020, we demolished the old dining room portion of our facility and transformed it into The Ritz on Union. We styled a restaurant having a contemporary look, and focused the menu and service to provide the very best food and dining experience that Schenectady has to offer. In addition, we present the newest options for parties and gatherings, formal and work functions, and life events like showers, weddings and anniversaries. We can accommodate up to 65 people in our beautiful dining room.Duke's Chophouse
Price: Expensive•Steakhouse•4.6(958)Superior dining experience in a fun, comfortable atmosphere just steps from the Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady Gaming Floor. An outdoor patio with sweeping river views adds to the ambiance of the chophouse, which features a selection of premium steaks, fresh seafood, an extensive wine selection and more!

- DDonnaNew York City •21 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAlways an all around wonderful dining experience. I love the fact that many of the staff members have been there for years. Todd, Drea (and others) always provide exceptional professional and warm service and manager James is a magician keeping so many moving parts running smoothly. The menu features something for everyone and never disappoints. Terrific spot!More infoJosie's TablePrice: Moderate• American• Albany•4.7

- KkenNew York City •1 review5.0Dined on Jun 8, 2025We had a great dinner out with friends. The wasabi bacon wrapped shrimp; meatball; and calamari appetizers we shared were excellent and everyone’s entrees were amazing. Our waitress Sarah was super pleasant, attentive and did some great “menu coaching” as we ordered. 10 out of 10!More infoThe Ritz On UnionPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Schenectady•4.6
