Unfortunately, it was not a great experience. The bartender served our drinks with no napkins and no lime. Details are key in a place like this. It was also loud, and it looked like a birthday party was happening. If that was the case, maybe the place should have closed to the public to accommodate that celebration. People were loud and drunk, and the birthday boy was saying vulgar things. We will not be coming back.

I came here for dinner while staying at the hotel…read more I started with the Artisan cheese platter which was pretty good! The jam and tapenade came in these little sorta like bowl things - I thought something was off as I used a knife to take jam/tapanade out of them because it felt like the knife was digging in to the bowl. I figures I ingest enough microplastics on a daily basis I didn't need to have more so I gave the bowls a closer look and feel and I broke one of them. WTF?? It felt nothing like plastic or ceramic. I asked the waitress. Turns out they make them out of pie crust!! Pretty cool if you ask me, but I might lead with that in the description!! I had the French onion soup and the drunker goat cheese salad with salmon. The onion soup was notable in that it wasn't wildly salty like French onion soups always seem to be which was nice. I also liked how the salmon was seasoned and prepared with the salad. All in all I'd eat here again.

Fresh warm rolls came and I ordered a side Caesar salad which was surprisingly big. It had lots of shaved Parmesan and fresh romaine lettuce and the Caesar dressing was really good. My friend got the side Mr. D's salad and it was huge. Lots of cranberries and mandarin oranges, cheddar cheese, almonds, and lots of fresh greens. It had garlic dressing. I wished I had ordered that! We ordered the crabcakes as an appetizer. It came with two nice sized crabcakes. They were meaty and tasty. I ordered the salmon and shrimp with rice. It may have been a special because I don't see it on their menu and I forget what the glaze or sauce was that was on it. It was a little overwhelming but I just took some off and it was actually very good. I think it was wine based. Two big fat shrimp and a nice piece of salmon cooked to perfection. The brussels sprouts were cooked and spiced just right. The rice was good too. Large portions of everything. I was here at a conference and I never think of stopping by here and just grabbing some bread pudding. I will have to keep that in mind!

I insisted we would switch to margaritas but the owner insisted. We share a flavorful dish of chow mein with almost half a grilled jerk chicken atop. The chow mein had hearty peices of shrimp and pork and a savory flavor. After eating for what seemed like an eternity the two of us still didn't finish the plate. The flow of guests was high. Alot of take away orders and neighbor regulars popping in for a quick drink at the bar. I believe there was a dj booth and dance area in the back but we sat at a booth in the very front. It was a perfect balance of relaxed dining but still upbeat energy. Only negative is 4 parking spots so plan to street park in a busy area of schenectady.

There's a variety of seating (including some cool very tall-backed chairs), which is a nice change of pace. There's a small menu, drinks, and coffee/sweets. The service is super cheery and prompt. The food is a bit middle of the road and humdrum, and our "hot" beverages were tepid at best. I recommend getting a drink over getting coffee, all things being equal. We'll see if it survives the closing of the Van Gogh Experience, but it's easy to see how with the right management, and maybe a slightly gussied up menu, this could become a destination and not just a stop-off.
