    I was starving so we began eating. but these were the sweet potato's fries. The portion was small to begin with.
    Corie Y.

    Locals type of bar, everyone knew each other, but it was still very quiet inside from 5-630 on a Thursday night. The place is nice inside, you can tell it was newly remodeled. I could see myself coming here for beers with friends. It is small but there is plenty of seating, a lot of high top tables, with some of the more comfortable high stools I have sat on, and just a few regular height tables. The bar seating was about half full with some regulars drinking domestic beer buckets (5 for $15), the music was odd and very low. It was SO quiet that my friend and I felt like we had to whisper. The was only two people working here, and neither was the owner, who I was hoping to see. I looked at social media prior so I would have recognized them. The bartender/waitress was decent, but pretty busy with her regulars and friend sitting at the end of the bar. First off, beer. They only have 5 taps, 2 IPA's and 3 domestics. And they were out of Blue Moon so 4 lines. Can list was domestic, some seltzer and ciders, I think they had Druthers IPA in a bottle also. I had the common roots IPA ($6.50), it was great, so I'm not complaining, just pointing out the limited selection. I was hungry so I placed an order for a basket of sweet potato fries. I believe it was $6 and it was a very scrawny amount of fries, which was unfortunate. I wanted to get a sauce for dipping but the waitress did not come back around for quite a while, and by then the fries had been eaten. They were pretty good though, nicely presented with parsley. The menu is mostly sandwiches and bar snacks, which is great for a tavern, not unexpected. I opted for wings - in which I love, and you can tell a lot about a place by their wings. Flavor was very good, nice medium standard sauce, but I would have preferred more sauce on them, the sauce was left in the kitchen. They were large wings, as described on the menu, they were very crispy, however the downfall that happens, that is only avoided by the best of the best, was that the wings were dry due to the crisp. Now, I am just super critical on wings, they were good, but pretty dry. I ran out of blue cheese, and again couldn't get the waitress, oh well. I did proceed to eat them all, so, yeah. My Veggie friend had a few choices here, bravo to them, and she opted for a veggie burger, which she really enjoyed. She said the patty had a unique texture she had never had before. I don't believe it was made in house though. Overall, the food was OK, pricing was reasonable, but some portions seemed a little skimpy. I saw other orders going out and i felt those orders looked like small portions as well. The place is new, and will hopefully continue to improve over time. I am glad I checked it out, but would likely choose a different tavern over this one next time.

There has been some turnover in staff but they were just as friendly, helpful and professional as I remembered. I kept it casual and picked a Tofu Banh Mi which is a Vietnamese sandwich. It came with greens. I really enjoyed this dish. It was filling but didn't weigh me down. I ordered Wayward Lane Brewing Monarca Gold: A Mexican-style lager. It was very good but I have to admit I ordered because I liked the butterfly on the can. I actually liked my friend's dark smoked beer even better. Wayward Lane Brewing's Lifeblood looked like stout and tasted a bit like smoked bacon to me even though it was supposed to feature notes of toasted brown bread and caramelized sugar. My friend also had truffle ( mushroom) fries and a smash burger. He loved the meal. Dove & Deer is a pretty place. Attractive furniture and light fixtures. Big windows. A nice variety of food and beverage that you might not find everywhere else.

Also, Dove + Deer has a current welcome gift of $30 off of $90. Anywho, I felt like getting pancakes and these were nice and fluffy with a nice chew. The strawberries were sweet and soft and the maple syrup was great. The eggs were scrambled perfectly as well, with great flavor - shocking because most eggs are so flavorless. You get a choice of additional protein and I chose the maple sausage which was delicious as well. The only thing that could be improved was a bit more salt and/or pepper on the home fries but I guess most people use the ketchup that's given, so I understand the under seasoning. The service was friendly albeit infrequent, and that's just fine. Water is left on the table for self-service and that's really why I need additional service attention anyway. All in all, a great brunch place because it has lots of space and feels casual and comfortable. Try it.

The Roosevelt Room in Troy was a great experience from start to finish. I was honestly expecting a standalone building, but it is tucked into a strip mall near HVCC. That said, parking was easy and stress free, which is always a plus. This was our first visit as a party of four, and the service was superb. The attention to detail really stood out and was noticed immediately. Our waitress checked in at the right times, kept drinks filled, and made sure everything came out exactly as expected. Meals are made to order, so substitutions were no issue at all, and it was nice to see gluten free options available. When you walk in, you pass through a curtain and are immediately greeted by a coat attendant who takes your coats, which instantly gives the place an upscale feel. The ambiance is well done, with soft lighting and nice background music. It is on the smaller side and dimly lit, but that is clearly intentional. The menus actually light up, which was a unique and thoughtful touch that fits the atmosphere perfectly. We had reservations and were seated right away. It did not seem necessary on this particular evening, but I would definitely recommend them on a weekend given the size of the space. The food itself was excellent. Everything we ordered was very tasty, and the presentation across the board was impressive. Desserts are prepared by a pastry chef and were just as good as the rest of the meal. It is definitely on the pricey side, but that is to be expected for the level of service and atmosphere. This feels like a special occasion type of place, and in that context, it is worth every penny. We really enjoyed our night and would absolutely come back. There was also a sign mentioning live jazz on Fridays, which sounds like a great added touch. Overall, a very strong 5 stars.

Located in a strip near HVCC, once through the doors you are greeted by a friendly to welcome and direct you and we were directed to our goal- the bar. First, the design and decor are beautiful. It has clean, updated mid-century modern design that's very cool and elegant. At the bar we we had the pleasure of being served, hosted, by Erika and Ed. Wonderful mixologists who made our time there a true delight. We had scrumptious, perfectly made cocktails and our apps were delicious. Before our apps arrived, we were given an amuse bouche (manchego cheese with fig.) What a nice touch. Will definitely be back.

The entire party was there momentarily and had to ask for our food order to be taken after 30 min- watching them, they had all staff making drinks but they said only one person was bartender. Simple drinks 3 mimosas and 3 bloody Mary's still a few mixed up(spicy, no olive, lots of olives). We all ordered risotto breakfast items. It took another half hour to get our meals we had to ask for the Sriracha drizzle which was described on the menu. Tea, breakfast bowl and the cheeseburger, risotto were excellent. The timing was off some people did not receive their dishes for a while so we had to start eating. We inform the waste staff we had a show to get to and Schenectady and still had to ask for the check. Bathrooms were clean ambience was pleasant. If I were to guess I would say the kitchen was not prepped and ready to go. Luckily, we got to our 1pm show but not much time to spare. So if you're not in a hurry and not too picky, I would definitely recommend their breakfast, the unique offerings of comfort, risotto bowls. I would prefer my egg to not be well done on top not sure what their protocol is, but we weren't asked.
