This was our weekly go to for quite some time but after 3 subpar experiences, we won't be back.

I've only dined at Next Door Kitchen & Bar once before, and that was 8 years ago. I don't think I…read morewas completely hooked then. What a difference a few years can make. This was an amazing experience. Every touch point was a pure joy, from the moment I entered and was promptly and politely seated, to the last few minutes as I chatted with one of the owners, Chris. Every single interaction we experienced gave us the comfort of being amongst friends who were happy to see us, and more importantly happy to be here. From our fully engaging server to the wonderful highschool sophomore who never let our water glasses get below half full, each and every person made our experience just that: an experience of excellence and perfect attention to detail. Our meals were just as delicious as the people. The Grilled Double-Cut Pork Chop was an absolute triumph--impeccably juicy, beautifully charred, and perfectly balanced by earthy morels, rich creamed ramps, and the bright, sweet pop of local cherries. The reimagined "Ratatouille" was a stunning work of art, featuring a beautifully seared zucchini steak, smoky eggplant crème, and a crisp, fresh nest of squash topped with plump, perfectly grilled shrimp. For the perfect conclusion, the Espresso Crème Brûlée delivered a silky, robust coffee custard beneath a shatteringly crisp caramelized crust, brilliantly elevated by the crunch of cacao nibs. What truly elevated the evening, however, was how flawlessly they handled my strict wheat- and grain-free dietary needs. Navigating menus with these restrictions can often feel stressful, but our server and the chef made every possible effort to accommodate me. They proactively verified every sauce and reduction to ensure they were safe, and the kitchen effortlessly modified the dessert by putting the biscotti on the side. To enjoy a multi-course, world-class meal with that level of meticulous care and total peace of mind is incredibly rare. They didn't just accommodate a restriction; they crafted a masterpiece around it. We certainly won't be waiting another 8 years to return.

Real McCoy is a new entrant into the craft beer scene. Located a block off Front street in a yellow…read morehouse where baseball inventor Abner Doubleday was born, it feels like a quaint throwback to ye olde colonial tavern. There's a small bar on the left and several tables among several small rooms. Plus, there's seating outdoors in the small yard. The beer is good. There's a variety of styles including NE IPAs, Pilsners, Stouts and ESB. The few I've tried hit those styles down the middle and drove in a few funs. The downside is the price. My 4pack takeaway of pint cans was $20, so puts it on the high end of craft beer costs. Although, they did include a token for a free beer in house. If you stay and drink, it's $7/per so more readable compared to other bars. I'd like to come back and try the rest of their lineup to perhaps find one that hits it out of the park!

This is an outpost of The Real McCoy Beer Company in Delmar, NY. It's in a great location in…read moredowntown Ballston Spa and is located in the historic Abner Doubleday House, which gives it a unique feeling compared to most brewery taprooms since they've stuck with the old decor and furniture. We've come a couple of times and the guy behind the bar has always been enthusiastic and friendly. Unfortunately, there's no kitchen for food and the beer is just okay. I'd suggest sticking with more classic styles like the cream ale, ESB, etc. I have tried a couple of their IPAs and NEIPAs and several seem to have been oxidized or of lower quality than most other breweries in the area. There are a few benches and chairs outside in the front and side yards to sit at, and those outdoor spots are dog-friendly. I think it's location makes it an ideal place to stop in for a beer before going out to dinner somewhere else nearby.

We stopped at Speckled Pig brewery on our way to Saratoga. Why not try another new to us brewery,…read moreright? Speckled Pig was a great find! Easy to find, friendly staff, a good beer menu, excellent beers, and pizza! We didn't try the pizza, but it looked delicious and others sitting at the bar gave it a thumbs up. We really liked their beers. One of the beers in our sample was their blueberry beer which was indeed blueberry! It's a nice space with a good amount of searing and they have a separate event space. This is a place we will recommend to others and will visit again! Second visit: the pizza is excellent!

She was kind, sweet, attentive and definitely a good up salesman. The sheer amount of time that they allowed us to occupy a table here was truly impressive. Nobody was rude or kicked us out.

We sat next to a warm fireplace, which was great because it was freezing out! Winters here on Planet Hoth are just brutal! Please come check out this great little neighborhood gem. And oh yeah, they have live music! Loved that!

Love going to Henry's.... Such a beautiful gathering tavern/ restaurant. On this particular day…read morethere was a singer/guitarist playing in the corner... I wouldn't say they have a singer there every day, but they do have one there often. On holidays such as St. Patrick's Day or other holidays, Henry's is packed and I mean packed is very hard to find a parking space near this restaurant many times because downtown Boston Spa is very condensed and busy . You may have to park further away and walk down to the restaurant. The food always looks and smells so delicious. Enjoy.

It was a bit expensive Sold out of the Nightgale homemade ice cream sandwichs - but it was listed everywhere that they had them made.
