The food and cocktails were delicious! We had a Nigroni and Blackberry Basil drink. The Nigroni was blended well, smoky and a good quality. The Blackberry Basil drink was also delicious, which says something as I'm a picky cocktail drinker! I ordered the bucatini which was flavorful with specialty mushrooms and whipped feta. The description slightly varied from what I received as I didn't see any of the nuts described but it was so good I'll overlook it. My husband had a buttery bass which he enjoyed. Our chocolate cake was rich and the perfect size for a sweet ending. Waiter was attentive and friendly. Overall highly recommend and thought the value was on par for our area. Also bonus points for cardboard takeout containers. I hate plastic and styrofoam.

For some reason, a lot of my local Yelp searches didn't include The Delaware, which was just wrong…read more Now that I've been there for dinner, that's no longer a concern. This restaurant has a lot of things going for it which appeal to me. They do need to clean up their web information, and with that, the associated Yelp information. Both list the weeknight opening time as 5pm, and yet in different spots, they list a weekday happy hour starting at 4pm. Other snippets of conversation I overheard imply they have to make a few other menu updates. But as per my review, that didn't adversely affect my opinion of the place at all. We did, in fact, show up during the "happy hour period prior to 5pm," and we sat at the bar for drinks, for happy hour foods, and for our dinners. The happy hour menu is vague for cocktails... "well crafted cocktails" will be discounted, but you really have to ask which ones get the discount or not. We were content to order some of their regularly crafted cocktails. We were inundated with menus as well, one of which we got by mentioning it was our first visit there. That had two of immediate interest, the lobster and scallop crusted salmon, and the quail. I had never had quail, so of course I had to try it, and it was delicious (as was the salmon, which I also got to sample). I can't comment on table service, since we sat at the bar for the entire evening, but that was quite enjoyable... friendly service, made to feel welcome immediately, great conversation among staff and patrons. I look forward to exploring more of their offerings on future visits.

Really nice spot with a curated selection of craft beers, wines and ciders and excellent ambience…read more This bar was recommended to me through a community craft beer group as a small, relaxed venue where we could enjoy some brews but not have to endure a harsh industrial atmosphere or a lot of rowdy sports fans or college students. We had a great time here! We were greeted and served as soon as we walked in the place and found a perfectly sized table for our group of three to relax and enjoy our beverages. There is some light background music playing, which adds to the atmosphere but doesn't interfere with conversation. I also appreciated the complimentary water station- hydration is important. The ambience includes lots of greenery and beer artwork. Convenient if you are seeing a movie next-door at the Spectrum Theater. Definitely would return here the next time we are in the area. Excellent vibes here.

Absolutely lucked into this place while visiting our daughter at a nearby college. We were headed…read moreto the donut shop next door and saw the sign for the cheese shop. (Certainly a lucky neighborhood) It looks small from the street but once you walk in, it opens up to a sizable store. We were greeted by a friendly staff member, he took the time to describe their cheese selection and the other things going on in the shop. He then pivoted to giving us tons of help selecting the right cheese. We sampled a couple of things and then he dialed in three choices for us to buy. (With an assist from another customer that insisted that we would love the Delice de Bourgogne) Prices were reasonable enough for the quality. We added some gourmet crackers that were neutral enough to not overpower the cheese. The next day, we made the three cheeses the focus of our lunch. The Delice de Bourgogne was the star of the show, a creamy, earthy, and savory masterpiece. The two year aged Gouda and creamy blue cheese were delightful as well! Truly glad that we walked into The Cheese Traveler!

What a fantastic find -- a small but very well curated collection of cheeses, with an extremely…read moreknowledgeable staff who don't pressure you but provide help where needed. We appreciated the relatively local (Quebec, VT, NY) cheeses they have, and our destination cheese, Wisconsin Brick (which we had never tried before, and which they were quite willing to work with us on getting the appropriate size). The sandwiches looked delicious but we were there at the wrong time of day, alas, but we will 100% be back. If you like cheese, this is a destination location for the region.

What a fantastic find!…read more The bar is cool with vintage tin ceilings and Art Deco, which provided a homey, lived in feel that is both comfortable and relaxing. I don't say this often, but Loch & Quay has a great vibe. I sat at the bar and Nicole G. took care of me by crafting a perfect Hendrick's Gin martini. Soon after, I dined on their Cottage Pie: potatoes, Guinness broth, cheese, scallions, corn, and celery, and great seasoning in the tender meat. It was fun. Such a delicious and overly satisfying meal. The service is excellent and even though there were only a few people inside at the time, the atmosphere was neighborly. Many thanks to Nicole G. for her kindness, positivity, and exceptional customer service. Loch & Quay is highly recommended!

Most…read moreimportantly, I learned during our first visit that they charge more for a boba tea of equivalent size, topping, sweetness, and ice level than any tea shop we have been to in many other cities and states, including NYC, Queens, Virginia state, Georgia State, and the rest of the Capital District. In fact, within the Capital District, we pay $2.39 less PER TEA at another tea shop. The green tea is little different than what a large number of other similar shops have, which is a letdown. Their boba was above average because it was cooked just right and favoured well, although we do prefer large boba. Service is a tad too no-frills and left me wishing there was more friendliness, like the typical "have a nice day" as customers leave the shop or pick up their order. The music in a food joint usually isn't an issue for me but there was not one song that added to the experience of hanging out and it sounded like the speaker needed bass. They have several different tables and chairs and, although the comfort level differs based on where you sit, the sitting area has an overall nice feel to it. Although I'd be fairly hesitant to return, I hope they keep improving.

Came here with the family for some Korean waffle bubble cone ice cream and bubble tea. Parking lot…read morewas full but easily located on the side of the building. Upon walking in, we were the only customers. They had handy laminated menus showing various options, and I selected the Chocolate bubble waffle cone with Reese's Pieces PB craze ice cream, strawberry star jelly pieces, Oreo cookie crumbs, and whipped cream. I know, I know... it is gilding the lily. But, it wasn't like I eat here every day. My wife ordered her own boba tea and bubble cone ice cream. It took about 15 minutes to receive everything, as they only had one waffle machine up and running. But I wasn't in a hurry. It was neat to watch them make it, and despite the waffle maker spewing batter on the sides they kept it nice and clean so there were no flavor cross-contaminations. My item came out last and it was great. However, it was impossible to eat unless you held it at a 45-degree angle (otherwise, the star jelly pieces and cookie crumbs fell on the table... over and over). Also, the plastic spoon isn't the best weapon against really hard ice cream. But, I managed. And, I made a mess of the table. My wife's ice cream was definitely more Asian inspired (green tea bubble waffle, red bean paste, and strawberries) and it was okay. But nothing came close to the deliciousness of mine. I really liked the star shaped jelly pieces, which made me feel like a kid. If I were to order it again, though, I would bring my own bowl and dump it all in to eat out of. The prices aren't cheap, and we tipped well, but it was a date night adventure and not a routine destination. They give out free popcorn with every drink (awesome), and the staff were friendly. I could see coming back more often, but too much of this stuff will go straight to my dairy-iere.
