    Food and service were terrific. Hadn't been here in a couple of years--not sure why. But it was just as good as before, which is very good.

    The Gingerman has been sold and is closing soon. It was excellent in its day and was a go to date night and after work drinks meeting place. My last meal there was not representative of the outstanding restaurant that was. There were very few people dining and the food was mediocre, but still priced as if it was the excellent fare that was once served there. Sadly, a place that has seen better days.

    Good overall, a little on the pricier side but pricing matches value of offerings. I went to Ginger Man after finding it on Yelp. Yelp was a bit misleading according to the photos. It seemed more casual on Yelp.

    Haven't been back to the Gingerman in a long time but will definitely return again. The food selection was varied & delicious. Our waitress was charming and had great timing. Keep up the good work.

    Dined here when our children were in town. Unique, creative menu, and generous sized portions. Great bar items. Service was superb; friendly/attentive staff.

    The paella has been a favorite of mine for years. It is a bit spicier than other places I've had it, but I go for heat. The short rib burger is one of the tastiest in Albany.

    Wonderful experience! I was traveling across the state and on to Boston and had chosen The Ginger Man as a good mid-way point which also promised a rewarding dining experience - I was certainly right! Staff graciously welcomed me 45 minutes late due to Thruway accident (props to Open Table for making it easy to notify the restaurant). Wonderful service, inventive cocktail, delicious food! Asparagus is a food I feel pretty neutral about; their grilled spears were so good! To top it off there was a talented acoustic duo playing in the barroom. All handled on a busy Friday evening. Can't wait for a reason to return.
