   The service was attentive without being annoying. The food was excellent. Four of us shared two appetizers and two sides. We each got our own steaks. The steaks were cooked perfectly. Our only complaint in an otherwise outstanding meal was that it was noisy.

   Wagu Cap steak is the best steak I've ever had. It's like no other steak you'll ever have. Carley our waitress is perfect she's been our waitress the last 3-4 times we request her everytime we go

   First time visiting. Our service was excellent and the food delicious. We started with the beef carpaccio and then we both ordered the filet, I asked for medium rare and my husband asked for medium and both were done perfectly. For sides, we ordered Potato Dauphinoise and Mac & Cheese- both were very good. Dessert was Apple Cider Crème Brûlée with a snickerdoodle cookie and a Samoa Cheesecake.

   This is one of Saratoga's crown jewels of the dinning experience. The quality of food, service and ambiance is exceptional and is in line with our expectations. We look forward to the Salt and Char when we are in the area. Our one recommendation would be to have a private room for large groups of young men celebrating birthdays!

    Food was outstanding! Hands-down the best restaurant in Saratoga Springs. Service was spotty and there were several times when we had to flag down our server. Perhaps the inattention was due to the fact that we had a large party and gratuity was included. For some odd reason we were seated in the bar area instead of the regular restaurant. It was loud and there were boisterous bar patrons. When making reservations, the form should ask if we want bar or restaurant seating. Next time, I will make a special request to have bar seating. Restaurant phone does not have voice-mail. Onc has to call during a very limited window of hours to make any requests or even to make a change to a reservation. I expected more from a restaurant associated with the Adelphi where the service is paramount. I will definitely be back, but am a bit wiser now of what to request. Bravo to chef and runners.

    Phenomenal service and wait staff — very attentive, friendly, and helpful. Food was delicious, but the portions left me wanting…the amount of lobster bisque you get for $18 is ridiculously small; about a half cup (if that!) Sides were very good too, but again, way too small of a portion. I ordered the 12oz filet and it was cooked perfectly!! Cocktails were well made and reasonably priced. Lava cake for dessert was perhaps one of the best I’ve ever had.

    Very little value for the money. $140 Tomahawk Steak was not a tomahawk at all, but a rib eye steak with two bone fragments sticking out. $38 Chicken Osso Bucco was two drumsticks and a small thigh. Sides are priced for sharing but portions are for one. Wedge salad is not a wedge and not generous. Everything was “fine” but not worth it IMO.

    The food itself was extremely rich to a point where it was hard to keep eating. My bison short rib was more fat and cartilage than meat so slightly disappointed. My first bite I could not eat because it was pure cartilage. Great atmosphere and great location no doubt.

    Food was overly and inconsistently salted, even with “salt” in its name. Same potato side dish that also accompanied another meal were very different. One side order was taken off the bill without our request so it seemed we weren’t the first to say this. Also, I get a business is a business, but if your entrees, most of which are al la carte, are going to be that expensive, charging $2 for every soda refill seems a bit much. We wanted to try it, but have no desire to return.

    The food was stellar - well worth the price. Steaks cooked just as ordered, sides and small dishes delicious and innovatively seasoned. Service superb - attentive while also appropriately unobtrusive. The star off the ambiance was only for noise level with a large and joyful party seated next to us; really the setting was lovely. Lounge seating might have been a tad quieter for a tête à tête. Highly recommended and will be back for that next special occasion when in town!

    Arrived for our 7 pm reservation and we were told by a very polite hostess that our table was still occupied , but the diners had the check and should be leaving soon. Disappointing, but we wanted a cocktail and said we’d sit at the bar and get a cocktail until the table was ready. Approached a bar with only two other people finishing up. We were not greeted by the bartender. Nada. Nothing. Ignored while he busily made table diners’ drinks. After ten minutes he acknowledged our presence with “I’ll get to you when I can” and cont’d making diners’ drinks, rather than pouring two drinks for two guests who were patiently waiting for their 7 pm table, 20 minutes later. That set the the tone for the rest of the experience. Completely unimpressed and we felt disrespected as customers. He was working very hard. But training comes from the top about how to handle such a situation: greet the customer with a smile and genuine apology and then suggest to the manager that he comp the drinks we never got at the bar and that we had wanted. Finally we were seated and had a great team of Alex and Carly serving us. The $78 dry aged Kansas strip was delicious… too rare, but still beautiful and tasty. Raw oysters beautifully presented and mignonette wonderful; wedge fine. Potato dauphinoise was lovely. But charred broccoli was ridiculous: 4 small florets for $11. I’m talking the size of my pinky. Just an embarrassment that any restaurant would serve such a small portion. Inexplicable that the kitchen sent out the dish. We tried to make lemonade out of a few lemons and j think we succeeded. We tipped generously. But we just were underwhelmed. First impressions count. We know restaurants are strained. But don’t accept reservations for a full house with one bartender on duty. Not fair to him. Or diners.
