i've been here several times over the years, and they never disappoint. i came here with some…read morefriends on a friday afternoon. the space is very cute, although it is a little drafty by the door (i had to keep my coat on). we were seated immediately. all of the tea here is excellent, and their london fog is top tier. you can't go wrong with any tea. i ordered a cup of the sweet potato chili and the bananas foster crepe. it took about 20 minutes for our food to arrive. the chili tasted just like the trader jooe's harvest chili, which i love. it was very hot and i burned my tongue several times because i wanted to keep eating it. the crepe came out slightly later. the edges were very crisp and it was packed with filling. the scone cream they use seems to be clotted cream, which balances out the sweetness of the caramel quite well. i also tried my friend's fruits of the forest scone, which was very crumbly but had great flavor. i love this place and will certainly return when i can.

I visited the Whistling Kettle in Ballston Spa for brunch with a couple of friends and had a mixed…read moreexperience. We arrived right when they opened at 10 a.m. and were seated immediately, which was great. We initially considered sitting inside, but the smell of eggs was so overwhelming/nauseating that we opted for outdoor seating instead. The patio was charming and cozy. The service was friendly, attentive, and one of the highlights of our visit. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. We all ordered the brunch tower, which included a "fruit salad" that consisted of squishy grapes, sour Granny Smith apple chunks, and canned mandarin oranges. The fruit tasted low quality and unappetizing, and I only managed a few bites. I also ordered the bananas foster crepe, which was severely overcooked. The crepe was so tough that I needed a knife to cut through it, and the texture was far from what I would expect from a crepe. Overall, while the service was pleasant and seating was prompt, the food quality left a lot to be desired, especially considering the price point.

Staff were super friendly and eager to help. The vibe was very laid back and I can't count how many times I heard them say "take your time" as my wife and I tried to decide on what to get. We decided to go with French toast for me, the eye opener burrito for her, and a side of loaded home fries. The food came out hot and the portions were VERY generous. Could not finish everything even though it was DELICIOUS. If you are in the area during the week I would recommend stopping. They do have notes on the door that indicate weekends have long wait times.

The next day, we were able to get in within a few minutes of waiting. We were greeted promptly and provided with menus. I opted for Benny goes To Cali (omelette with surimi crab, tomatoes, etc.) and hubby went with veggie omelette. I was definitely expecting the omelette to be decent - nope. I do not recommend this combo. As for hubby's omelette, he didn't lie it either. Our server was at least great. Sorry, Ugly Rooster, but the diners we have here in Maine would kick your butt.

This had a "pizza farm vibe" without being in the middle of the countryside - charming, rustic, and…read morewarm. It's also very popular, and rightly so. 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.

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 were there forever and they were busy! I really enjoyed the cool, comfortable neighborhood vibes here. It's very much a down home Irish pub. 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.

They have a really cute gift shop. The staff is really nice. That being said I don't think I've ever really liked a breakfast sandwiches and I went there for breakfast yesterday and you go and you put your order in at one counter and then you bring your ticket to another window and then they call your number and you get your food. I got one egg cuz I didn't want a lot I wanted toast I only wanted one toes but they do two toes and hash browns it's one order wasn't a huge order everything was $16 including the egg toast bacon a soda 20 oz in a Mallo cup. I suppose it wouldn't have been so bad if I liked it. The bacon was not good. It was very greasy and kind of also dry and gritty. The egg had no seasoning. The toast was good the jam was good the hash browns were good. I don't enjoy them for breakfast. I did have the best fish sandwich I've ever had in my life there a long time ago it was a special. Was that fish sandwich and had a yummy sauce. It's a fun experience to go there by do not like the breakfast. I couldn't get anybody to eat this bacon except the dog and she can't eat bacon.
