First time at Lizzie Keays after hearing a lot of good things. Our waitress was attentive and knew the menu quite well which really helped narrow down some choices as the menu has quite a lot of good options. Everything we ordered was excellent, even the side salad was perfect, with fresh greens and a nice choice of dressings. The Black Forest chicken and mushroom ravioli were probably the standout orders but as I said, everything we ordered was delicious. Lizzie Keays is a great new addition to the culinary scene and we are all excited to go back!

The food at Coray Kitchen is inspired. The atmosphere enchanting and relaxed. The servers friendly and knowledgable. I recommend Coray Kitchen to anyone who considers themself a foodie and to anyone who just loves a delicious meal. This is the best restaurant experience we have had in 20 years of dining in the Capital Region.

Always enjoy a meal at M&M on the porch as the temps increase allowing an outdoor dining experience yet protected from the elements. Wife had wedge salad and ribs which are always tasty. Seafood bouillabaisse which is delicious and our 25 year old, big appetite son could barely finish the Texas brisket lasagna.

About the restaurant
La Bella Restaurant & Pizzeria in Valatie, NY is an Italian restaurant where the true taste of the old country reigns supreme. The old family recipes used at La Bella remain true to the mouthwatering homemade dishes prepared in Mama's Cucina Italiana. In Italy, using only the finest and freshest ingredients in the preparation of the meal, is of the utmost importance. At La Bella we believe that is one tradition to revere and to follow every day.

Lunches are served Tuesdays and Thursdays at the culinary school t Schenectady Community College. Dinner is served Wednesdays. There are Regional USA menus in the Fall and International ones in the Spring. Today was Asian and it was one of the best experiences of the year. The appetizers were curry udon soup with chicken katsu or Pork belly buns. We both ordered the soup. It was spicy, but not too spicy with slices of crisp chicken cutlet. I wouldn't have thought of putting fried chicken in a soup, but it was delicious. There were three entrees, Beef Bulgogi, Garam Marsala scented red snapper and ginger scallion noodles. I ordered the bulgogi and it was the best I ever tasted. It was extremely tender with wonderful seasoning. It was accompanied by picked vegetables and white rice. My partner ordered the noodle dish which came with crispy fried tofu. He said it was very good. Desserts were stickr rice with mango, Japanese roll cake, Japanese cheese cake and matcha icecream with mocha cookies. We both ordered the cheesecake which was lighter than I am used to but very good. Highly recommend you try this restaurant if you are willing to try new things. We tried it around 12 times in the past year and were rarely disappointed.

Nestled within the walls of Saratoga Springs' oldest continuously operating lodging house, the restaurant at the Inn at Saratoga takes inspiration from a turn of the century artists salon. Complete with antique sofas, vintage books and art, and welcoming fireplace, making it a rare gem of old world charm in downtown Saratoga.
