    Duck
    Matt Z.

    This is a lovely restaurant decorated nicely inside, and the food was delicious. The rolls were fantastic and so were the beats. The squid ink pasta with crab meat was exceptional. The duck breast was good, but not stand out and I would not order it again. There was also some room for improvement on the desserts, but overall this was a a great dinner and I have no problem coming back.

    Parker House Rolls

    I finally made it to Seneca and I am so glad I did. This place has been on my list for years, but I don't make it up to Saratoga as much as I'd like. We arrived before they opened to grab a seat at the bar, we received great service from the bartenders, and amazing drinks. I am currently obsessed with blue cheese stuffed olives and the Dirty French is an excellent martini, I subbed for gin of course. I ordered two because they were so good. The allure of these Parker House rolls has been a main driver to visit, how good could they be? Well I'll tell you they exceeded my already super high expectation. They were so fluffy it seemed to deft physics, salty, sweet, melt in your mouth with a perfect salty butter to smear all over the fresh and hot rolls. Amazing bread. We opted for a small app to share as well, the wood grilled oysters. They were topped with a chorizo butter and green onion sauce. I love oysters and I feel like this preparation overpowered the flavor of the oyster, but it was a delicious bite with great flavors. We both opted for beef, my sister ordered the Ribeye with Mac and cheese and I ordered the Hangar steak. The ribeye was a large cut, on the thinner side, perfectly cooked to medium rare. This dish was served with a bone marrow Mac and cheese. She has had this in the past and stated the Mac and cheese is usually creamier, but this dish may have been overcooked. She enjoyed her meal but it seems that consistency fell off a touch here. I ordered the Hanger steak, rare, and it was so tender and perfectly cooked. I loved it, I would definitely try this cut again. The duck fat potatoes with it were a little different than expected, more like tater tots, but still good. The tomato salsa added nothing to this dish. The meats were spot on for both the entrees, but the pairing fell a little flat. I have already recommended this place to a few people based on the experience, I would definitely return to try more menu items, the excellence definitely outshined the few nit picks I have. Check it out!

    Absolutely AMAZING!! This has been on my must visit list for their wood grilled meats but it was so crowded and hard to get reservations during city conference rush. Thankfully was able to make it and it did not disappoint! They even gave us a call before reservation time to check in with us which was thoughtful of them. When we arrived, party of 2 was sat at the 4 person table near the window during sunset which was beautiful. Service was beyond spectacular by Nicole!!! She was so polite and helpful from the very beginning with providing hot water (a whole kettle too!), menu recommendations, and even providing substitution free of charge when our order didn't come as expected. The wood grilled hanger steak was so affordable $36 and AMAZING-I have no comments, it's a must get unless you want to spend more to try other cuts of beef but this was already amazing and solved cravings for me. The grilled pork chops was sadly a bit too tough and chewy and not as much flavor which was disappointing and was able to send it back and replace it for something else which we chose another hanger steak. Our server was nice enough to switch it out and keep our sides. And the sides- the duck fat potatoes: AMAZING and so unique and yummy. The black garlic aioli was perfect dipping sauce. And I almost forgot, the Parker house rolls were AMAZING too with the honey butter perfection. If I lived here, it would definitely be my go -to place. A must try in the area!

    I don't have words to explain this! All of it was so delicious, I have never had a meal like this! We started with the rolls and butter, my mouth is watering just thinking about them. They were soft and slightly salty which paired so well with the honey drizzled butter. Next we got the paella arancini. Unfortunately it was a bit cold in the middle but other the that it was all around DELISHHHHH! For the main I got the pistachio crusted salmon and my partner got the jerk chicken. The salmon was so tender yay it literally fell apart as soon as I touched it with my fork. Rhe jerk chicken really stole the show. It was Smokey and tender and the fried plantains that came with it were cooked perfectly!!!! Yummmmmm. I finished with th jalapeño cantaloupe marg off their signature cocktail menu! It was delicious and not too spicy! We got seated at the bar super quickly and the food came out timely! It is so beautiful inside, I genuinely wish I could try the entire menu!

    Loved the atmosphere and the waitress suggested the Chilean sea bass special that was to die for. My husband had the hanger steak and it was so tender. A lovely experience while visit.

    Made reservations for a Tuesday night. Ordered drinks and appetizers. The old fashioned was better than the pumpkin margarita. The grilled oysters I liked but my husband thought the chorizo butter overpowered the oyster flavor. The Parker rolls are worth it every time. Got the paella arinici. They were delicious but it was hard to tell it was paella instead of just seafood. Great ambiance. Will definite return.

    Dinner at Seneca was absolutely amazing. It was my first time there, I've been wanting to go for so long after hearing rave reviews from a bunch of my friends. Every single item was fantastic, even the ketchup which is house-made. The burger had that wonderful char-grilled taste. The pierogies would make my Slovak ancestors proud. The Parker rolls speak for themselves.

    Food was delicious! I was very impressed by their allergy friendly menu options (gluten free and dairy & gluten free). The drinks were tasty, too! Nice vibe, good lighting.

    Came in on a snowy January evening. Had a reservation specifically for the bar. Not available. We were seated "near" the bar. We ordered beer because, sorry, $18-23 cocktails are just a bit exorbitant for me. We took a look at the menu and looked for all the delish Apps and Entree's we had heard and read about- no where to be found: where were the lamb lollipops, the noodles, the shrimp- oh well. The Waygu Burger was awesome- best burger I've had in quite some time. Decent place but loud. Brick walls, steel deck ceiling with nothing to absorb sound. Will return in the spring hopefully to an updated menu.

    Beet Salad, oysters, and deviled egg with fried chicken.  Yummy

    Not familiar with the area and everyone recommended a restaurant that was closer the day we were in town. We stumbled upon Seneca and ate so happy we did! Everything we had was beyond delicious. The staff were fantastic as well.

    Well, here we go again. Yes, I went to Eddie F's again today and this time took my wife. She had…read morethe Fish & Chips and I had the Grilled Haddock. I'm more attracted to non-fried food so the Grilled Haddock was right up my alley. This time I had that with the side order of baked beans and macaroni salad. Again I was not disappointed. My wife gave me the thumbs up on her food also. So I guess I did good. I read the review about the cleanliness. Let me say this, this place is clean. I'm sure they have food inspectors that come in and if it was not able to pass, it would not be open. On the other review which they gave one star, I don't know when this individual called in an order but must understand that you only have a certain amount of people working, trying to please their customers so you have to give them a break. Obviously they don't want to lose customers. If it is a certain time when people are calling in phone orders and coming inside for take out, things happen. Nobody is perfect unless you walk on water. I have been telling a lot of people about this place. Thank God I'm retired and can go there anytime I want. Now I don't have to make seafood at home anymore. The only thing I'll continue making at home is the baked Salmon. Going two days in a row, I guess I'm trying to make up lost time since he has opened up. I'm good with that for sure!

    My wife and I recently celebrated a special occasion here, and overall, we had an absolutely…read morewonderful experience. The food was outstanding. The Tomahawk steak was cooked perfectly, the atmosphere was elegant without feeling stuffy, and the service was attentive throughout the evening. It was the kind of dinner that creates lasting memories, and for that, we are grateful. That said, I continue to struggle with the restaurant's à la carte pricing model. I fully understand that many high-end steakhouses operate this way, but I have never quite embraced the concept. Our Tomahawk steak cost $175 and arrived without a single side dish. The fries and broccolini sides you see here were both extra charges. To be clear, this is not a complaint about the quality of the food or the overall cost of the evening. We knew we were choosing a fine dining experience and were happy to pay for it. My concern is more philosophical. When a guest orders a premium steak, I believe a complete meal should accompany it, with opportunities to upgrade or substitute sides if desired. That approach would feel more hospitable and customer-friendly while still allowing the restaurant to offer customization and premium add-ons. None of this diminished what was otherwise a terrific evening, and I would gladly return. I simply think the dining experience would feel even more complete if the restaurant reconsidered the increasingly common practice of charging separately for every component of the meal. In short: excellent food, excellent service, wonderful atmosphere, memorable evening--just a pricing philosophy that I personally find difficult to embrace.

    The Service was Fantastic. Especially calling out Evan and Michael. Supreme Professionals at what…read morethey do. The cocktails and food were Excellent. We dined there for hours. Salt and Char could be perfect except their Fine Dining Area is less to be desired. They need to hire an Acoustic Engineer because the Dining Room is so loud my ears are still ringing the next day. In addition, there were no Linens on the tables (might help). There's a Big wide Entrance with no Door that takes away from the atmosphere. It adds to the Chaos of noise. The poor Staff has to perform with those obscene noise Decimals. If you want to be a five star restaurant you need to rethink the Design and add Acoustic baffles. O M G.

When our waiter came to take our drink orders, I asked if the specialty lattes that were available at Mrs. London's Bakery, which is attached to the restaurant, and I was told no. I honestly thought the two businesses were affiliated and didn't understand why that was the case because you could order a pastry basket for the table. I think having specialty drinks from Mrs. London's would really elevate their brunch experience. Just my two cents! Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I tried the asparagus and mushroom omelet, which came with home fries, and really enjoyed it. I definitely recommend making reservations if you're visiting on a Saturday or Sunday, and don't forget to grab some pastries to go from Mrs. London's on your way out!

We had a reservation through RESY (Amex Rewards), and when we arrived right on time, the hostess let us know there were no tables available yet and that the wait would be about 30-40 minutes. We completely understand that weekends are busy, and we never expect to be seated immediately, but we had just come from an athletic event and our kids were starving. Since it was a busy weekend, we decided to wait rather than scramble to find another spot. The menu looked very appetizing and we ordered a breakfast plate for our son, tomato soup, lobster pizza, and a burger. The breakfast was solid, your classic bacon, eggs, and potatoes. The tomato soup looked beautiful but was a bit underseasoned, and we felt the same about the lobster pizza. Everything was presented really well, but the flavors just didn't quite match the visual appeal. Our server also seemed to be juggling quite a few tables, so refills were a little hard to come by, which we completely understand during a rush. That said, the ambiance is wonderful. It's lively, welcoming, and absolutely beautiful inside. We truly wanted the food to match the vibe and hope this was just an off day, because it's a great spot with a lot going for it.
