    Meatball sandwich - excellent. So moist and fried spinach was tasty.

    While traveling back to Vermont from the Finger Lakes, we popped in here for lunch! Fantastic food and friendly service. We will definitely be back.

    Avocado toast and French toast

    Avocado toast was delicious! Service was wonderful as well. Husband had French toast that was perfect

    Tomato onion and mushroom omelette

    We stopped for breakfast due to Yelp reviews & I was not impressed. Very heavily decorated for Valentines Day and a nice explanation on the menu about the name. I asked for water and was told no tap water due to COVID19 (is that a thing?!) and didn't feel like paying $1 for a bottle of water. The omelette was meh. Very runny which I adore in my scrambled eggs but am sort of indifferent to in an omelette. Home fries were ok but needed salt. My partner's omelette was excellent though because he had the house made sausage which he loved. Maybe you need to order their house made specialties for awesome food. Good service and good safety measures but I wouldn't return.

    Do you ever meet someone for the first time and the encounter makes you happy the rest of the day? My family and I had one of those experiences today at the Ribbon Cafe. We stopped for breakfast while traveling for the Easter weekend. The lady who greeted us and waited on us, Christine, was one of the friendliest and warmest people I have ever met. Seriously, this lady is so wonderful!!! It turns out, her brother is the owner/chef and he prepared breakfast for the five of us quickly and efficiently. We ordered a variety of dishes and were all very pleased. The buttermilk pancakes were a particular highlight in addition to the Easter cupcake my wife got for the road. I should also note that they use proceeds from the restaurant to support various cancer support organizations, and provide free meals to homebound cancer patients. Still need a reason to check this out?...........did I mention that Christine might be one of the nicest people you will ever meet??

    Rise and Shine, house made sausage and gravy & biscuits!! Yummy!!

No problem parking on this visit in January. The dining and bar area had maybe four other parties when we arrived at 1 p.m. We probably didn't need to have made a reservation, but it was better to have been safe than disappointed. The bartender was assigned to serve our table and informed us of three delicious sounding soups that were available - Italian Wedding, French Onion, and the third that none of us tried. Instead, water, Cola ($3), and a winter warming Chatham - Oh Snaps! ($8) were our appetizers. The Oh Snaps brown ale was smooth and flavorful with its addition of cinnamon and ginger. My Smash Burger ($16.99) was served on a fresh bun with two patties, American cheese, sauteed onions, lettuce, tomato, and their house "birdie sauce." I opted to upgrade my side to onion rings for $3. I was not asked how I wanted my burgers cooked and they came out medium by my judgement. Overall, the combination of all the flavors was good. The onion rings appeared to be made inhouse and were tasty. My fellow diners were very pleased with their Club sandwich ($16.99) and Fried Chicken Sandwich ($16.99). Portions were large enough that each of my friends brought half of their lunch home. There is a nice view through the glass doors leading to the raised deck overlooking the golf course. Service was pleasant and efficient.

I love when local eateries are well-loved because they deserve it. 9 Miles East Farm certainly does! A lot of the folks who came in for dinner wanted to sit on the terrace to bask in the last couple of hours of sun, but being from Florida I get overdosed with that and sat inside. I'm glad I did, the playlist reminded me of a Sunday picnic without being either. However, the atmosphere felt like that, even indoors. The owner was super personable, and the server was just the right amount of attentive. I ordered the chicken piri piri, and it presented beautifully. I felt comforted by the food. The tender grilled chicken parted from the bone with a twist of my fork and the mashed sweet potato was a great partner to the savory, citrusy, and slightly spicy piri piri. Im not even a chicken thigh person, but this dish changed me. I actually felt tended to and taken care of by the food! Does that even make sense??? It did when I was eating because that's how I felt. And the crazy thing is, I've been here once before. I loved what I ate, but it didn't feel like this. It's been a rough couple of months, but after this meal and listening to the carefree, but intentional music, it lit up my mood and my spirit. This will definitely be one of my go-to's when I visit Saratoga Springs, and I highly recommend 9 Miles East Farm to anyone. I think that a lot of people feel like they're visiting a friend's place when they come here. I definitely did.
