    Steakhouse wagyu burger
    Ta' B.

    I had the steak frites, it was very tasty. Fries were on point they came out hot and crispy. The steak was cooked medium well like I like. I don't like the salad that came with, not my type of ingredients. It's definitely a club atmosphere that you can still eat like fine dining. The waiter was a lil all over the place but that was expected being the club crowd came in.

    They have a great menu with lots to choose from. They've even got a kids menu. Great portion sizes. Highly recommend the grilled cheese with tomato soup. Expansive selection of draft, can and bottle beers. Inside dining was large with tables spread with spacing. Service needs improvement - we were short silverware, we had to ask for menus, waitress came and asked how we were doing but walked away before we could respond, when paying the bill she didn't know what credit cards were accepted. I also felt my pastrami sandwich was a bit salty, but didn't want to complain since the rest of my group enjoyed their meals.

    We are locals like 3 minutes up the road so we needed a change of scenery and decided to go to sit outside and the downtown social. They have super comfortable seating out front (couches) that we sat on and relaxed with a few beers. We had a few inexpensive apps and enjoyed ourselves with some different scenery. Our waiter Owen was amazing and we'll definitely be back before the end of the summer season!

    Glens Falls strikes again. Formerly the "dinner and a movie" venue located right next door to Davidsons, Downtown Social is another awesome addition to downtown GF. I received a text from friends that were going out to see Mitch Frasier perform...he was actually at Davidsons...but the outside seating at Downtown Social allows patrons to "steal" the neighboring live music situation. Friends were already seated outside when we arrived. The weather was perfect for dining al fresco and there are plenty of tables in the front/side of the restaurant. I'm so glad that I went inside to use the restroom at one point...because it looks fantastic! Clean, vast, modern interior decor. There is a nice sized stage for live performances near the bathrooms. Restaurant was bustling and busy. Our server was awesome; she was super friendly, helpful and just overall cool. Not pretentious and helped give this place a 5 star rating. The food was excellent! Friends ordered the Charcuterie plate....which is not my thing...but I loved the selection of bread and the fig jam. I did taste a few of the meats and they were solid. Several of us ordered the chopped salad with ahi tuna; others had the scallops and a steak dish. Dessert was a shared sampler/platter of 3 different choices: bread pudding, deconstructed cannoli and tiramisu. We had a great time and enjoyed our night here. The only thing I heard someone say re: the food was that the scallops were a bit too salty. I loved my salad and everything about this experience. It's been an extraordinarily stressful week and this was exactly what we needed. Kudos to the Downtown Social owners/operators. I wish them lots of luck and much success!

    A big fan of sister business downtown city tavern so expectations were high. Service was weak. We placed a drink order and while waiting for them were looking over the menu. The waitress came back to see if we ready to order and to advise us "the bar is slammed so going to be a bit". We asked opinions on a few meals to be given a what most people order response, there did not appear to be any familiarity with the meals. I ordered the French dip that was served with a horseradish sauce and au jus. My dinner was served without the au jus. I asked for it and more water as the water glass was empty and waitress appeared oblivious. The au jus tasted more like tea it was so flavorless. The meat not much more flavorful and the French fries were cold. May not be fair to compare ever French dip I have ever had to the best one I have ever tasted (at the Ithaca Brewing Company.). Overall a bit of a disappointment since I am such a downtown city tavern fan. The one difference between them is Downtown Social takes reservations where as downtown city tavern does not.

    Visiting the fiancé's parents this weekend, decided to try Downtown Social out since they knew we had never been there, and we like Downtown City Tavern. We ate outside so we were able to enjoy the live music from Davidson's for awhile, and then their music inside. We didn't go inside at all so I can't say anything about that, but the outside seating was pleasant enough on a fine summer evening. Seats were a bit uncomfortable-- they could definitely update. They have a lot of cool choices on the menu, particularly in their apps and bar bites categories. Brisket debris fries, nonna's meatballs, wings sounded especially good. We didn't order any, but noted for next time. The gals ordered the drink Love on the Rocks, while the guys had beers. They have a very nice cocktail list with a lot of options for different tastes. My drink was very good, and definitely girly! I ordered the rotisserie 1/2 chicken with pan jus with two sides of steamed buttery cauliflower and a garden salad, which was composed of argula, red onion, cherry tomato, and vinagrette. Yum! The chicken was very moist and flavorful, worth the little bit of wait our waiter said it would take. A good size as well. The fiancé got their bbq plate, with brisket and pulled pork, and coleslaw and cauliflower. He enjoyed this a lot. The parents ordered the chicken and beef stroganoff, which was highly complimented. Service was a little slow, but they also were very busy-- but I would go back. Lots of cool things to try on the menu!

    Not going to waste too much time, service is slow/inattentive and the food is not very good. I won't bother again.

    We chose Morgan & Company to celebrate our wedding anniversary after I specifically requested a…read moregift certificate to dine there because I had been looking forward to the experience. Sadly, it ended up ruining what should have been a special evening. I began with the French onion soup. The menu described it as being served with a crouton, but what arrived was two large pieces of bread with only the thinnest drizzle of melted cheese. Anyone who enjoys classic French onion soup knows the hallmark of the dish is a generous blanket of bubbling cheese, with the bread hidden underneath. I politely mentioned this to our server, who took it back to the kitchen. What came back was astonishing. Instead of remaking the soup properly, the kitchen simply added two more pieces of bread--for a total of four slices--and again barely covered them with cheese. At that point I declined the manager's offer to make it a third time. After seeing what the kitchen considered an acceptable correction, I had completely lost confidence. For my entrée, I ordered the coconut shrimp and added the glazed spare ribs. Unfortunately, both were overwhelmed by an extremely sweet, thick, sticky glaze. The coconut shrimp themselves may have been very good had the sauce been served on the side so diners could decide how much to use. Instead, every bite was drenched in sweetness. The ribs had virtually the same heavy glaze, and even the green beans and carrots were swimming in a sweet sauce. The entire plate tasted like dessert rather than dinner. I barely touched it and simply had it boxed to take home so we could wash off the sauces ourselves. My husband ordered the bouillabaisse, which had the opposite problem--it was surprisingly bland and lacked the rich seafood flavor one expects from that classic dish. Rather than complain yet again, he also boxed it up so we could season it ourselves at home. By 8:30 on a Sunday evening we were still hungry and began searching for another restaurant, only to discover that most nearby kitchens were closing at 9:00. We ended up grabbing Chinese takeout just so we could have something to eat on our wedding anniversary. The evening became even more disappointing considering the cost. We ordered a $150 bottle of Cabernet, bringing our bill to approximately $300 before tip. Spending that amount for a celebratory dinner and then leaving hungry to find another meal elsewhere is not an experience I ever expected. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, and I generally give restaurants every opportunity to make things right. In this case, however, the problems extended well beyond a single dish. Between the mishandled soup, the excessively sweet entrées, the bland bouillabaisse, and ultimately having to find another dinner after spending hundreds of dollars, this was an anniversary dinner we will remember for all the wrong reasons. I sincerely hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously, because it has the potential to be much better than what we experienced.

We walked past Farmacy's window and one of the chefs gave a friendly wave. We stopped in (had eaten there before) and prepared ourselves for a sure to be delicious meal. They have a fun frequently changing menu of small, medium and large plates so you can choose your own foodie adventure. If you want to sit at the bar you get a great view of the chefs at work preparing your meal. If you want a cozier experience, sit in the comfortable seating in the rear of the restaurant. Our server was very attentive but chill and knowledgeable. We got the Utica greens to share as an appetizer, a cocktail and Mad Max local beer, then a burger with hand cut fries and a chicken stuffed poblano. Dessert was a passion fruit chocolate tart which we took to go. If you're looking for well crafted food with a creative twist, this place is a great choice.

Taylor was one of the best servers we've had in a long time. Everything is made fresh daily, and if you sit at the Chef's Counter, you'll see it first hand. You'll also get great descriptions of everything from the awesome Chefs and maybe get to try something extra too. I recommend using the reservation system on their website and specify your seating preferences. You can choose from the Chef's Counter, the bar, a high-top table, a low table, or an outdoor table (weather permitting). We also appreciated them asking about food allergies on the reservation system too and they verified it when we arrived. We were so impressed with the unique menu options that are offered in the appetizers, small shareable plates, main courses, desserts, and drinks. We are already planning on coming back Sunday for brunch and know we'll be back again soon for dinner.
