Outstanding Experience! From Victoria our hostess, to our server Amanda everything was FANTASTIC. Food was excellently prepared and reasonably priced. Parking on Lark St. can be a bit of a challenge, but we were able to find a spot quickly nearby and walk the couple of blocks to the Savoy Taproom. Music choice was not our style, but we are from the older crowd and understand that they are attracting more of a younger vibe here. We definitely plan on eating here again.

Amazing food. Cocktails hit and miss. Some really good, some undrinkable. But server tried to kindly adjust. Issue was staff member apparently “manager” who seats people, was the rudest person I’ve ever found in a restaurant setting. If you’re that unhappy maybe call in sick to avoid ruining other peoples day.

Had a 6:30 reservation on a Sat and we were seated quickly. Our server was knowledgeable and provided great service. The drinks were pretty good, a little on the pricy side. The food was fantastic (ordered the Brussel sprout app, Peruvian chicken wings, salmon main dish and a ship pasta special). I would absolutely go there again for the food.

Delicious food, tucked away into an unassuming bar vibe. The draft and can beer selection was fairly large and our waiter was knowledgeable in all of the different choices. The food was not overly frilly, but everything was done really well. We were coming in from out of town, so finding this "locals only" spot felt like a win.

I ordered an old fashion with Buffalo Trace, but when the bill arrived I was charged for a Blantons whiskey at $19.00 plus $3.00 for making the old fashion. $19.00 for one drink, please remember we are in Albany not NYC. The menu had to accessed on my phone and there were no prices on the alcohol. Total rip off. I simply paid the bill and left.

The pork belly was incredible. Creole linguine was terrific. Best old fashioned I’ve ever had. Our server was WONDERFUL as was the bartender however the hostess was MISERABLE. Didn’t smile. Didn’t greet us. Just said “how can I help you?” We had a reservation and were sat right by the door in a row of 6 identical tables. I asked if we could please sit farther back because it was cold by the door. She was very irritated saying that all the tables were reserved. It was confusing and a bad first impression. After that mostly terrific. I only wish their liquor menu had shot prices on it; it would make it easier to be adventurous without sending the poor server back and forth for prices.

The food was absolutely delicious! The price was a bit high but for the quality of food and drink I think it was about right. We went on a Saturday night at 5:30 so the noise level was a bit high at times. The major draw back was we were seated at table directly under one of the speakers and there was no light anywhere near us. We had to use our cellphone lights to read the menu and the check. At the time we arrived there were at least 5 other open tables that would have suited us much better.

This is a great place. My husband and I love the food and drinks. The only reason I couldn't do 5 stars is just that it is expensive. We did 1 app, 1 entree, and 2 drinks. That alone was $60. However, the quality and service make it worthwhile. 👌

So pleased with Savoy! The staff was fun and professional but not stiff and the ambience was superbly chill and swanky. The menu is small as is the drink list but I tried 3 cocktails and was very pleased. The max and cheese with pork belly and jalapeños was to die for and every bite was followed with “mmmmhhhmmm.” I love this place.
