    Ahhhh!
    Roger K.

    Deliciously off the beaten path. Wonderful food with no pretense. This is the type of place you hear about by word of mouth. The current owners have been there for 12 years and many local folk are still just discovering it. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and a welcoming warmth I'm sure, even when the circular fireplace in the middle of the dining room is not roaring. Entrance is through the small bar area unless you require handicap access directly to the dining room. There are a couple of more intimate nooks with tables, fireside tables, and a raised floor dining area to give more dimension and separation. You will notice almost immediately upon being seated how clean everything looks. I was quite surprised at the quality of the draft beer list even though it was brief. We ordered pints of Whale's Tale Pale Ale and Bell's Two Hearted Ale ($5.50/pt) after our server Julie offered us tastes of each. We then reviewed the specials with Julie and made our choices from both that menu and the regular menu. My wife was intrigued with the Fig, Bacon & Shrimp over Creamy Goat Cheese Quinoa appetizer ($9.99) from the Specials menu while I opted for the Empanada appetizer ($9.99) on the regular menu. The blend of flavors in the fig/shrimp appetizer was excellent. My wife said her preference would have been for the quinoa to have been cooked just a bit longer, but she was not at all disappointed, and I was more than pleased with the taste that she shared with me. My two empanadas came with dollops of avocado and salsa, and chopped tomato, lettuce, and sour cream. The pastry crust was very flaky and flavorful and the ground beef and sausage filling was equally delicious and tasty. The warm sliced bread that was served did not even need the butter that was provided. The accompanying salads were a nice mix of shredded greens, tomato and good dressings. For entrées we both went with the Special menu. My choice was the Stuffed Pork Loin ($21.99) with spinach, mushrooms, bacon, and feta cheese finished with a roasted tomato demi glaze. It also came with butternut squash and my choice of a potato pancake. While I thought the pork loin was cooked a bit more than I would have preferred, the demi glaze provided the additional moisture necessary for me to still enjoy the entire dish. The potato pancake was more like shredded home fries and quite enjoyable. The squash was cooked to the perfect tenderness. I really thought I was going to need a doggy bag, but I kept on wanting to enjoy all the flavors while they were hot. My wife's entrée was the House-made Lasagna with sausage and beef ($16.99). It came with garlic buttered roll halves that were likely made in-house just like the pasta. Once again, very enjoyable flavors but my wife thought the pasta was too mushy from over cooking and she thought the sauce to be average. The warmth of the adjacent fireplace kept us from rushing out into the snow covered parking lot, so we listened intently to Julie's description of the available desserts. Chocolate Cream Pie, Coconut Cream Pie, and Apple Crisp ala Mode. There may have been others, but those were the ones that kept repeating themselves in my head. There's only one best way to settle such a dilemma, especially when your wife says she is stuffed. Along with our coffee ($2 each) I ordered the hot Apple Crisp topped with cinnamon whipped cream ($5.59), two spoons, and wait for it..... a slice of each pie ($5.59 each) to go! What a wonderful ending to our meal and a delicious midnight snack of leftover lasagna and pies. Yes, the pies were really good. This is what "country dining" should be like. The warmth of both the fire and the staff, and the outright friendliness, encourage you to return. There are a number of things on the menu that we look forward to trying on our next visit.

    Peanut chicken. Very tender!

    Very cute ambiance and clean restaurant. Service was excellent. Friendly and upbeat staff. Food presentation was creative. If you enjoy sitting at the bar it's rather large and offers quick draw. Veal was prepare the way it should be and the peanut encrusted chicken was out of this world, however both of our dishes that were extremely different shared the same vegetable combination. The veal entree would have done better with a different side. We suggest potatoes. Will come back again!

    I'm out of superlatives for Hooked, but since it had been a while since we had been, I thought it…read morewise to update my review. This is a haute cuisine place that is masked by the casual dining atmosphere. Seriously: top notch chef, original recipes, a core dedication to quality seafood, paired with a fresh fish counter and some prepared food to go. We usually go for something special, but tonight I decided to get an old childhood standby, fried clams (the Boston Basket) and the fish burger sandwich. I did not expect either to be as transportive as they turned out to be. The fried clams were as delicately done as I've ever had: not crispy, but not too floppy, with excellent breading. And while I prefer my clams naked, we tried all three of the dipping sauces -- a remoulade, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce. Now normally I loathe cocktail sauce and can take tartar sauce or leave it, so I figured we'd eat up the remoulade and ignore the other two. Still, I gave them little nibbles. Man! The cocktail sauce was like no other I've had, with a heavy hint of horseradish and a far fresher flavor than I've ever had. Then the tartar sauce -- genius! It had a delicate spicing, with capers providing a floral backdrop. That was only a preliminary, as the fish burger proved to be complex, with hints of multiple kinds of fish, and a fennel-based spicing. I ended up having that afterglow, as if I'd had a couple of cocktails and was sitting next to a fireplace, that is the hallmark of truly fine food at an advanced level. We also had the usual outstanding service, attentive without being pushy. I seriously think Hooked should consider splitting into two restaurants: one where the ambiance is upgraded to match the high caliber of the food, and another cheaper one that is strictly fast casual and takeout, and they'd more than double the business. There is a restaurant back where we come from in California, Turtle Bay, that did this with fine dining on one side and the quick, simple, and affordable food on the other side, with a big shared kitchen between them but with completely separate ambiances. That way I could come back more frequently, and still have the original Hooked for special occasions!

Now the downfall, the chicken sandwich. I did notice other plates coming to tables looking like the fryer temp. is too hot, or cook time was too long. Some fish fry that came out looked quite dark as did my chicken, as you can see! A slight burnt taste was evident. It had good flavor under that burn, and the chicken was close to not being juicy, almost dry. The place is clean, and if not for the location, I would sit at the bar and have the raw bar! Something very important to me that hit me the instant I stepped through the door, if you're looking for a great shot of A/C on a hot day, not here!!! Barely got comfortable from the almost 90 degree day on a bike, and then worked up a return of sweating as the place filled up.

I'm more attracted to non-fried food so the Grilled Haddock was right up my alley. This time I had that with the side order of baked beans and macaroni salad. Again I was not disappointed. My wife gave me the thumbs up on her food also. So I guess I did good. I read the review about the cleanliness. Let me say this, this place is clean. I'm sure they have food inspectors that come in and if it was not able to pass, it would not be open. On the other review which they gave one star, I don't know when this individual called in an order but must understand that you only have a certain amount of people working, trying to please their customers so you have to give them a break. Obviously they don't want to lose customers. If it is a certain time when people are calling in phone orders and coming inside for take out, things happen. Nobody is perfect unless you walk on water. I have been telling a lot of people about this place. Thank God I'm retired and can go there anytime I want. Now I don't have to make seafood at home anymore. The only thing I'll continue making at home is the baked Salmon. Going two days in a row, I guess I'm trying to make up lost time since he has opened up. I'm good with that for sure!

Located right on the corner of U.S. Route 9 and Malta Ave in Ballston Spa, the outside is pretty low-key. The parking lot was a bit dark, with most of the light coming from the building itself but don't let that fool you. You walk in and you're right at the bar , with plenty of seating barside or table, if that's your vibe. Not into sitting up front? No problem, there's additional seating in the back for a more relaxed feel. Service was a win. Our waiter was courteous, attentive, and accommodating without hovering. Now the food, the Gooouda Burger caught my eye immediately. I ordered it bunless, wrapped in buttery romaine lettuce, topped with crispy bacon and fried onions. Paired it with their straw fries (seriously good) and a cold beer to wash it down. First bite? Exactly what you want. Food to temp, everything was crisp not soggy, the burger was cooked perfectly, even at well done, which is not easy to pull off.

A fairly short drive brought me to this little seafood shack; it is located in what seemed to be a kind of out of the way neighborhood. From the outside it looks charming, just a nice New England hang out; inside is even better with 2 compact dining rooms decorated with a nautical theme and a metal roof. When I arrived at about 6 on a Friday night the place was almost full with a couple of larger parties enjoying themselves. The menu is great for me since it is almost exclusively fish and seafood, with a good selection of preparations; even better there was another page of specials that are a bit more upscale. Since I was hungry and just wanted to keep it simple I choose the all you can eat fish fry off the menu. Considering how busy the restaurant was my meal came out in about 10 minutes. A nice basket with 4 fish fillets, fries and coleslaw. The highlight was clearly the fish with perfectly cooked moist white fish in a great batter with just enough spices to perk the fish up. The fish was so good that I actually finished the 4 fillets and then got 2 more. The fries were very thin cut and crispy. The coleslaw is what you would expect, good but nothing special. I was very impressed with Adirondack Seafood, the fish was excellent and the sides were good. The price was reasonable and the portions were generous. Service was good and the atmosphere is charming and fun. I would strongly recommend giving them a try. About the only downside is that outside of fish and seafood there are not a lot of choices; not an issue for a pescetarian like me but could be an issue for those who are serious carnivores.
