Interesting place. Craft cocktails, charcuterie, desert make it a cool place for before or after…read moredinner. So...that all works. What doesn't: blinding bright lights that I've had to ask the staff to turn down everytime I go in. And my biggest complaint: It's a damn lounge- play some freaking lounge music and turn it up so you can actually hear it. LOUNGE MUSIC IN A LOUNGE: Look it up: The range of lounge music encompasses beautiful music-influenced instrumentals, modern electronica (with chillout, and downtempo influences), while remaining thematically focused on its retro-space age cultural elements. Turn off the classic rock, turn off the house and hip hop and get with the freakin program. I DEMAND IT... Rant over. Now, do better Monkey Boy.

We met friends for dinner at Cleome with very high expectations due to lots of positive chatter…read moreabout it. The bar area and wall garden are extremely cool. It's a fairly small space so definitely make reservations if you're planning on going during busier dinner hours. Service was decent - it was a little confusing and disjointed at times but I chalked that up to some inexperience (the server seemed a bit green) and that it's a fairly new restaurant. We had read somewhere that it was small plates - more like tapas...but then was explained that it's "family style". This is what caused said confusion at the table since "family style" to the four of us meant large, sharable portions. So, we just ordered a bunch of stuff in waves since we didn't really know how much food we were going to need. Some items arrived quickly, others took a very long time. Standout dishes to me were the Brussels sprouts and the apple cobbler dessert (which I just had a little taste of). I found some of the accompanying crackers odd - I think they were Ritz brand or something like that? We did request a few gluten free crackers and were brought a few. The swordfish was on the dry side - that's a tricky protein to get right. The fried chicken was served as cutlets - so some of the items were more difficult to share vs. others. The shrimp salad cups were somewhat unremarkable and a bit too loaded with mayo (in my opinion). The shishito peppers were nice - I think I was the one at the table that enjoyed those the most. We did linger at our table for a long time - a combination of wait times and good conversation with friends. We never felt rushed or pressured to leave (there wasn't a wait or line for tables). All in all, we had a nice time at Cleome and will likely give it another try at some point - now that we know what to expect

Three entrees: Tried the Lobster Mac and Cheese again and it was MUCH better than previously reported! That was great as was the fried chicken- soooo good. My burger unfortunately didn't arrive until after everyone else at the table was done with their meals. Oh bother.... it tasted meh and it's clear they are using a very low fat ground beef which made the burger more like a tasteless hockey puck. Still, everything else was wonderful and the background music was audible and made the experience even better. The Egg nog cocktail we had at another visit a few days before was delish. Despite my burger, we were please with our experience. I can only hope that they reconsider their low fat ground beef for something a little more tasty and juicy. Recommended.

Service at Mint was exceptional. Our server, Brooke, was attentive, friendly, and made the…read moreexperience feel effortless. When she told me about the buttered rum special, I couldn't say no. This warm cocktail was a total delight and absolutely hit the spot. We started with the house bread. I know it sounds like "just bread," but the texture was perfect, and the ricotta honey spread paired with it nicely. For entrées, I had the chicken schnitzel. It was crispy and well-executed, and the beurre blanc was silky and rich. I think it would have been even better with spaetzle, but the portion size was generous on its own--I'm just a starch girlie. My husband ordered the bolognese, which was flavorful and came in a healthy portion. He ended up taking some home, which we love because leftovers are never a bad thing. For dessert, we shared the pot de crème. The balance of caramel, saltiness, and chocolate was the perfect finish. The chocolate was rich and smooth. I also loved the décor--it was such a pleasant surprise to find a place like this in South Glens Falls.

We've been looking for new and interesting dining options outside of Saratoga Springs (where we…read morelive). We discovered Morgan & Co. a couple of years ago and it's been one of our go-to places ever since. I'd read about Mint and people liked it a lot so we went there for brunch/lunch a few days ago. It did not disappoint. We had the opportunity to check it out following a wake in Queensbury. Our drinks were very good. My Limoncello Spritzer really hit the spot. My husband was delighted that his Bloody Mary did not include any olives (lol). However, $18 is steep for tomato juice, folks. We shared the Brussel Sprouts as a Starter. Both of us ordered the Crab and Scallop Cake Benny which was topped with hollandais, served on a bed of arugula and accompanied by tasty potatoes. Absolutely delicious! Our server was very nice. She seemed to be handling a lot of the tables and managed it well. We were not rushed nor did we feel neglected. It's a small place, cozy and welcoming. Love the china. There is a parking lot and also street parking. The menu is limited. If you have fussy eaters, you may want to check it out online before making a reservation (which is recommended). I would have given them 4-1/2 but the system doesn't allow it. We will definitely return.

Stopped in to Southpaw for a late lunch on my mother's birthday…read more The decor style is very adirondack mixed with some of the remaining decor from when it was an asian bistro. At the time, the place looked busy but still had open table. Staffing wise I noticed they had one bartender and one server on which seemed light for a Saturday. Our server took a little while to get over to us but seemed more like the result of being short staff than anything to do with them. We ordered in stages drinks and apps, then mains once apps were out. I got the smash burger and fries and we tried the hush puppies and wings for apps. The hush puppies were a northern interpretation which was more like a fried polenta cake in shape and taste. I recognize they are all just variations of fried cornmeal but there is something distinct about a hush puppies versus these. The wings were definitely stand out and I would get them again. The burger and fries was decent but not something I would get again. I would go back for drinks and apps.

I was surprised to see the place almost empty when we stopped in for lunch on a beautiful Friday…read moreafternoon. Our party of three was promptly greeted and directed to our choice of tables set and ready for customers. We were slow in making our menu selections as we were preoccupied with conversation anticipating the southern departure of the Snowbird in our party. Staff were very patient and understanding. The menu offers a nice variety of choices that extend from pub food to sandwiches and salads, many with a slight twist in preparation. Entrees are apparently offered during dinner hours. My wife ordered the Humus Wrap ($17), identified as a vegan's delight. She did not believe the humus offered much flavor, tasting mostly the onions, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and peppers. But then she's not a vegan so, while she said the wrap was pleasant, she shouldn't have expected to be delighted. Our Snowbird chose a Steak Gyro ($18) with grilled naan, dressed greens, red onion, cucumber, tomato, roasted garlic aioli, pickled red onion, and fresh herbs. That sounds like a lot, and it was. The snowbird was very pleased with the meal, enjoying the combination of flavors. I wanted to find out how the Pulled Pork Sammy ($17) was going to be served as the online dinner menu offered it as the South Street Smasher. It turns out they take crispy, slow-roasted, local pork shoulder compressed and shaped like a burger and smashed on the flattop to serve on a toasted bun with their house BBQ and coleslaw. The pork was moist and flavorful. Adding the coleslaw and pickle slices to the Sammy gave a nice blend of texture and flavors. A very enjoyable sandwich. We all were severed hand-cut French fries with our meals. As is frequently the case at most restaurants, they were hot and excellent when served, but just OK once they cooled. I'd be interested in returning for dinner sometime when I'm in the area to try the ramen, a burger, or maybe even the poutine.

They have a fun frequently changing menu of small, medium and large plates so you can choose your own foodie adventure. If you want to sit at the bar you get a great view of the chefs at work preparing your meal. If you want a cozier experience, sit in the comfortable seating in the rear of the restaurant. Our server was very attentive but chill and knowledgeable. We got the Utica greens to share as an appetizer, a cocktail and Mad Max local beer, then a burger with hand cut fries and a chicken stuffed poblano. Dessert was a passion fruit chocolate tart which we took to go. If you're looking for well crafted food with a creative twist, this place is a great choice. North country friendly and approachable with a sophisticated set of offerings. Some really unique cocktails too. Not a boring thing on the menu.

We recently went to downtown city tavern for a dinner date. Having been there before we knew…read moreexactly what we were expecting ... at least we thought we did. The initial impression was the same when we arrived. The place was clean and well put together with a friendly atmosphere. We got our menus and our drinks and took some time to place our orders. We eventually ordered the tavern Mac and cheese and the piggly wiggly burger. We also ordered an extra basket of the tavern fries as those are typically a big hit and very delicious. I got the pretzels for myself. This is where the disappointment began. The Mac and cheese had good taste but it was still very lackluster. We knew to expect loads of cheese; which is great! But what we got was nearly just cheese itself... maybe a handful of noodles. The burger was also a huge disappointment. As having had it before I knew it was pretty good. This time it wasn't . What I got was a greasy unseasoned burger, pulled pork with no flavor and coleslaw that was bland as well. The bun was soggy. The burger was soaking wet. The pretzels were still doughy and not fully cooked. They were very hard and not as good as I had hoped seeing as they were once amazing. The fries were soaked in their oil. They are seasoned, and they are tossed with their seasoning and oil. However these were soggy, nor crispy in the slightest and dripped all over the place. Service was mediocre at best. Plates were pulled without asking if we were finished . Upon returning the server seemed to be somewhat condescending . Had I not brought large bills I would have not left a tip to be quite frank. Overall I do not plan to return here . I am very dissatisfied. I hope this place turns back around but as for me, I do not plan to spend my money here anymore.

Everything tasted fresh, perfectly seasoned, and made with real attention to detail. The pulled pork was incredibly tender and full of flavor, and the burnt ends were next-level--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. You can tell they know exactly what they're doing when it comes to smoking meat. What I really appreciated was the consistency across the board--not just the meats, but the sides too.

My wife was disappointed with the very weak pour of a Jamo & Ginger with a high price and their craft beer selection was very limited and only in bottles so I wouldn't recommend the bar at all, but the restaurant was great. I was surprised about the craft beer though considering there are several local breweries with amazing brews that they could have on tap. Really a lost opportunity for both sides.
