`Had 5:30 reservation and we were offered the worst table in the room: right by the door, in a pretty empty restaurant. When asked for a different table, we were told everything is reserved and this is the ONLY table we can be offered, because there were 3 people in our party and other tables were for larger parties. We also had reservation, so not sure how the tables get assigned to the reservations. Not to mention, our table was for 4 people. After we ordered drinks and food, the hostess came and offered to move us to the nice round table by the window, but ONLY if we leave by 7, because that table was reserved for 7 pm. Really???? Is it because the restaurants don't favor the reservations made through Open Table, because this keeps happening to us...? The waitress was very sweet, though. It was my husband's birthday and I wanted to make it special. Didn't work as planned...

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.

First time visitors from out of town, we decided to have dinner in downtown. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening! Friday night and the brasserie was full of happy patrons. The food and drinks were delicious. Duck cassoulet and the evening special of fried chicken and duck fat fries really hit the spot. Service was attentive and friendly. Really happy we had dinner and dessert here. Only negatives: Parking was a little challenging but found a spot on the street a few blocks away and the noise level is very high. Would love to return when passing through town again!

Frankly I found my meal disappointing: crispy calamari were greasy, not crispy; my burger special, at $26, was two overcooked hockey pucks. In fairness, my dining companions were satisfied with their meals. I would not go back: I expected better from a Purnomo restaurant.

Another wonderful casual dinner experience with friends at dp. It's the go-to place in downtown Albany for get-togethers and memorable quality time. Outstanding service and the food is always excellent and a good value. Very enjoyable event and look forward to returning, again and again.
