It wasn't until I was seated with my wife and 13 yr old son that I read other reviews here and it was too late to abandon ship. Oh well. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Service was very pleasant and attentive, although our waiter forgot our appetizer platter and just brought dinners, and had trouble getting our drink orders straight. This aside, the food was very good and fresh. I had the iron steak with gorgonzola, wife had the seafood risotto, and son had the "tour of italy" chicken parm (owner is from Naples). Although I found my portion to be lacking in size (as with my starter salad), it was very tasty and well prepared. Wife and son loved theirs. My house salad with lemon vinegarette was extraordinary. I am already looking for a lemon vinegarette recipe. Happy enough to have made a reservation for a sweet window booth for the entire family when we return for Family Weekend in Oct. Net net....good chow, nice atmosphere although I HATE seeing TVs (over bar) when I dine, and a diverse menu for all palates. Wish I had some rawbar and time to have dessert. And I'm sure all would have improved if I didn't have to pass on more vino due to a impending drive home to eastern MA.

My experience at this venue has more to do with the unacceptable behavior of the crowd, vs. the…read morevenue itself. That being said--I believe the management and security need to take some measures to better ensure the safety of concert goers. I don't mind an exuberant crowd, I enjoy the energy of the shared experience. I don't mind dancing and pogoing up and down or a little crowd surfing so long as nobody kicks me in the face. What I do mind is people that mistake moshing with slam dancing and use it to violently hurt people. It seems to attract a big college crowd, and among them was a faction of young men behaving badly. The men seemed set on improving their line of sight and proximity to the stage by literally slamming themselves into the people in front of them, in some cases knocking them down, while trying to pretend that it was some socially acceptable form of moshing. It was violence pure and simple and aimed at physically bullying people that had arrived earlier to ensure a good viewing spot. I came away from this concert literally bruised and battered and feeling like I had suffered the kind of whiplash usually experienced in a car accident. I'm a petite five foot tall woman--had I been less physically fit and able to stand my ground, I would have had to have moved off to the dark recesses of this place where I wouldn't have stood a blind man's chance of seeing anything on stage. I had to shove people off of me and brace myself so as not to be knocked to the floor. Repeatedly. Maybe I am used to Boston clubs where security does not allow crowd surfing or moshing. Perhaps concertgoers in the city are just better behaved. The mood on the floor was ugly. I did not feel able to go to the bar for a drink or to visit the rest rooms as I feared I would be unable to make my way back to join the rest of my party. It can't be good for a venues business if patrons are not able to make it to the bar and back. The friend of a girl near us went to the bathroom and was never seen again--unable to make it back through the crowds. I can't say much about the venue. It was so dark and packed with people that I could not see much. The sound quality for the opening band sounded like crap and I feared that would be the case for the headliner, but fortunately it was not. I found no faults with the quality of the sound. The ticket takers and employees that I saw at the front when I entered all seemed like genuine people, friendly and professional. I'd have like to have seen some security inside putting the kibosh on some of the physicality on the floor. I really didn't need guys the size of football linebackers trying to launch me repeatedly. I made it quite clear to them that they were hurting me and they could not have cared less. I have no plans to return to this venue again. I did not feel safe. At all.

He heard my story told me i had a job,a home and not to be afraid. He did not know me.He didn't know what kind of person i was but he took me in anyway.For the next 6 and a half weeks as i waited for my son to purchase his first home i stayed at Daniels Hall. I slept on the couch next to the bar with my clothes is boxes and my computer i was safe.

I guess everyone is a beginner at some point! I hope to go back and improve my skills!

I wanted to take a minute to thank you for making it such a wonderful place for all people who so often face discrimination, hate, and even violence for who they are. Fuze Box is truly a place for everyone. You have allowed us a place to be the "us-est" we can be. There is nothing more valuable. You uphold the values of community, service, and love of your fellow humans. You are an important influence in the City of Albany, and your example means so much. You are not just talk; you are a true ally. We could use more community leaders like you. Hopefully your example will inspire others to follow in your footsteps. You are a kind and generous soul. Thank you, not just for the Fuze Box, but for all you do to better our City.

I enjoyed the speedy service of drinks. But the provision of music was week. The DJ (DJ Sincero) is…read moreobviously an amateur. Literally through the peek hours of a filled dance floor he did not play merengue music. From reggaeton to long over played Hector Lavoe salsa song to a bachata song then back to reggaeton. I think it's common knowledge that merengue is the most common and fun of all Latin dance music and he neglected to show any thought of providing that to the crowd. Merengue music is the connection that allows the connection of people who are unknown to eachother to feel a balance and comfortability to then dance salsa or bachata with eachother. So unfortunately because of his lack of ability to mix such music I gave a poor rating. I hope that I am able to come back and revisit and enjoy a better mix of music.
