It's a nice restaurant, with a view of the water along one side. it's comfy inside, with tables and booths. The service was prompt, friendly and courteous. The waitress knew the menu, and was able to advise us on deserts, etc. I ordered a salad with chicken, and it came with a little cornbread - and the waitress warned me that it had a slight kick... but it wasn't bad. You know what? She was right! I would order this again. Other things on the menu that were enticing: quiche! I can hardly wait to go back and try this! Hopefully next time, we'll be able to sit outside an enjoy the view, which we could not see very well from our comfy booth.

We started off with the Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip which was fantastic ...and it got better from there! My main course was the Montreal Style Smoked Meat Sandwich - also an excellent choice! We ended up visiting 2 more times for dinner and once for breakfast - every item we sampled was a hit ..and we tried a variety of items (see photos). The busiest day was a Thursday when we stopped in for a late breakfast and the service & quality of the food was just as consistently outstanding as our previous visits. We also really liked the vibe - dark wood & cool lighting! This is a definitely a top-notch pub/grill - highly recommended!

Bonus to them for grinding it for me as well. They also had meats in a cooler for sale from nearby 8 O'Clock Ranch. The employees were very friendly and the inside space reminded me of an old pharmacy. They had plenty of people to help and overall I would recommend stopping here for fresh local grocery items or just to check their inventory out! Every town should have a store like this.

We picked out several items to bring home: a scone, lemon cupcake, chocolate cupcake, a chocolate raspberry parfait, a raspberry bomb, and a brownie with peanut butter icing. We also both each got a smoothie, one blueberry, honey, Greek yogurt and a strawberry banana. Unbeatable flavor with the smoothies. So many different ingredients and the price was very reasonable! The treats were so very good. The peanut butter icing on the brownie was a little too sweet for my taste but omg still so tasty. The raspberry in the parfait was also too sweet (for our taste) but again, the flavor was SO good. I could not believe how tasty all these things were. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for something sweet and gluten free. It's so hard to get a really good gluten free treats around here and this is the place you can get them! This is my new favorite bakery! Also.. LGBT+ love and inclusion. They also do lunch items that I haven't gotten to try yet, but such a reall, REALLY tasty looking menu for those. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more items!

Don't come here expecting fresh food. From what I observed and experienced it's all frozen patties,…read moretoasters, and microwaves. The staff were friendly enough, but never asked how my food was so I didn't tell them. I feel very disappointed in my experience here. They have a large selection of nachos so I tried them. Weirdly enough it's all chicken based but honestly, it felt like a 10-year-old made my nachos. Almost no meat of the affirmed frozen reheated variety- and it wasn't what the young staff said it was. She said it was "grilled chicken breast cut up." It was a breaded frozen patty and not much of it too. A handful of shredded cheese un-melted from its quick pass in the microwave hiding under a whole bunch of wet iceberg lettuce and one or two small pieces of jalapeños. This was really just a suggestion of nachos. But for $15, I would've expected something more quality. Perhaps if I had gotten a coffee and a pastry and played a board game this place would've been the bees knees. I would not suggest it unless it's the only thing open which on this Sunday in Potsdam, which it was. Update: I just read the other reviews for this place. I should've read them prior to coming as I would have looked elsewhere. They really should do better. It could be a wonderful spot. The menu is extensive. If you can't prepare a lot of food well, don't. Try preparing smaller menu VERY WELL. IMHO UPDATE 2: I had upset stomach all afternoon and evening within an hour of eating here

The first time we tried Nick's was on a day that hubby felt like having pizza but I wanted something else, and ended up with Souvlaki with 2 skewers - one chicken and one pork. It was pretty good, coming from a small town! We had only tried takeout until recently. We were in a party of 8, but found a table with no problem. Service was quick enough, and the food was good. Everyone got something different (which is a bonus as far as I'm concerned). And the people in our party seemed to be happy with the food. IMHO it was really great seeing everyone, and I was happy not to have to clean up after this. Everyone wins! We will definitely be back.

New Year's Eve Dinner Review…read more If you're looking to test your patience on New Year's Eve, this restaurant delivers flawlessly. From the moment we arrived, it was clear the night was headed downhill. The greeter welcoming guests to this "special" evening had massive underarm sweat stains, which set the tone nicely. Inside, the dining room was so cramped it felt more like a waiting room than a celebratory restaurant. Service was abysmal. It took 95 minutes for our entrées to arrive -- an astonishing delay for a fixed New Year's Eve menu. When the food finally did show up, it wasn't worth the wait. The dishes were poorly executed and completely forgettable, making the premium pricing feel almost insulting. Attention to detail was clearly not a priority. One nearby table had red wine stains on the tablecloth, and instead of changing it, staff seated another party there before finally addressing it. Nothing says fine dining like dried wine stains and indifference. To their credit, the restaurant did attempt to remedy the situation -- after the damage was done. We were offered a gift card to return, which honestly felt absurd. After an evening like that, why would anyone willingly come back for round two? What should have been a festive New Year's Eve turned into a lesson in mismanagement and poor standards. This is not a restaurant we would ever recommend, especially for special occasions -- unless disappointment is part of the plan.

Wow! I've been wanting to try Freshii again, ever since that first time in St Catherine's umpteen…read moreyears ago... And it did not disappoint!! The Monday special for today (Monday) is the build your own bowl of the day. You choose the ingredients - all different, or double up on the ones you love best. Can't go wrong with this! And the Ranch dressing was awesome! Very garlic and dill! The server was patient with us, which we appreciated, and helped ease things along by making suggestions. The setting is a bit like a subway sandwich bar, where you order at the counter and wait for your order. This gives it a fast food chain feeling. It had some low chairs at tables, and some high cafe chairs against the counter along the wall and windows. We were alone when we started, but it got quite busy!! I wish some soups had been on display (although I was happy with what I got), and that the seating had been a tad more comfortable. We never did find out what the wifi password is; something to add for next time. Can't wait to go back!!

It might have been just the Buddha's Bowl itself because my husband's Oaxaca Bowl portions were much more generous than mine. I asked the older lady/staff member who put my bowl together, and she told me that's how much their scoop is, which is too small. The entire contents of the bowl did not fill up even half of the bowl. Other than that, friendly cashier.

Does that make us regulars? I think so. I like it year round, but it's especially nice to sit on the back patio in the spring, summer, and fall.

I guess this is more of a roast than a steak. We will continue to go back.
