The rice came with a sauce so the flavor combo was immaculate. I hate Salad but this one actually complemented it cause it was refreshing Genuinely the best fried fish I've had in Albany so far. Below are the before and after pictures of that meal. There was no one out front but the chef came out himself and took my order. Jamaican accent, sealed the deal for me that the food was gonna be good before he went back inside. Pretty decor and they were playing some good music. Place is pretty empty but oh well... More table space for me

We came here to watch the World Cup and got a Caesar salad and a hot honey pepperoni pizza to split. While the sauce of the pizza was a bit heavy, the ricotta was a nice touch. The Caesar salad was a nice presentation, made with pre-shredded lettuce. I really enjoyed the strawberry tequila cocktail; it almost tasted like a fruit juice in a dangerously delicious way. The bar itself has an old school setup, with hooks for your purse and several tvs to watch sports on. There were several tables and booths that would be great for large groups.

Wow! I can't believe it took me so long to get here. I haven't enjoyed a meal this much in a while…read more I don't get over here much, but I think I will be back soon to try more of this menu. The restaurant is gorgeous, in a former bank, they have a parking lot and a small patio. We loved the dark and moody vibe of the place. I was very excited to try some of this chefs work after drooling over the menu for weeks. We were welcomed by Vince, who was super friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. He provided great service through the whole meal. We started with martinis, they have a great cocktail program. I ordered a dirty martini with blue cheese olives and it was perfect, and strong. We also opted to try the Oyster Shooter, how fun! It was an oyster served with a little shot of gin with cucumber. The shot was sweeter than I expected, but I simply had to try it. We probably didn't need an appetizer, but luckily the Bao buns were the perfect size for two. The Korean fried chicken was crisp and moist and coated with a thick sweet and spicy sauce. It definitely had some heat, but it was a nice heat. The peanuts and cilantro paired great with the buns. Besides the menu, they had a number of specials for the evening, so keep your options open. We did decide to stick to the menu though. I ordered the signature duck and my sister ordered the porcini ravioli. The duck dish was stunning, I couldn't take enough photos of it, and the taste blew me away. The duck was so crispy and tender, the fatty flavor reminds you of a holiday. The carrot puree, potatoes, greens and cherries added complexity and balance to the plate. I never finish my dinner, and I ate every morsel on this plate. The porcini ravioli was no different, it was incredible. The thick creamy sauce had so much flavor we were trying to guess what was in it. It was so rich and dreamy and the additional of walnuts was a fun crunch. If you love mushrooms, get this. We loved this meal, and I will rave about it. I am coming back for the pork belly dish, soon.

Start to finish every staff person we interacted with was welcoming, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Definitely appreciated and noteworthy over the usual, requisite pleasantries. We both had specials - scallops with squid ink risotto and pork belly with tostones. Each dish was thoughtfully and creatively prepared, the proteins were cooked perfectly, and I appreciated the inclusion of some fresh, on-site grown veg. Also enjoyed the Latin American flare/flavor incorporated into both dishes. Dining prices in Albany have (bewilderingly) been on par with Boston and NYC for years now, so Coray Kitchen is certainly reasonable for a high quality meal. I also appreciate that the specials were priced similarly to on-menu items. Will definitely be back to sample the paella and fresh pasta, unless enticed away again by specials!

The website has no phone number (and I couldn't find one after spending ten minutes searching online) offering only an email address. It's not on Resy or any other reservation app I could immediately find. Finn's has an Instagram page that says they take reservations for parties of five or more, by email or DM. I did both in the early afternoon for 6 pm, then followed up later by email. No response. We showed up at 6, no record of any reservation, but we could wait until 7:30 if we liked. Eventually we were seated, (around 7), then a long wait for the kitchen. I ordered a smashburger with fries - perfectly fine, not extraordinary. The waiter was helpful and friendly, comped my niece on a dessert. Cool industrial location in a renovated garage, but view is the electric power substation next door, no AC.

The exterior and the surrounding neighborhood doesn't really give a good indication of the goodness you'll find inside Finn's. Immediately upon entering, I was met with a lovely and bustling dining room. My colleague and I sat comfortably at a high top table. We began our experience with cocktails I got one of their specialty cocktails (it was a rye cocktail--I don't exactly recall the name of it). It was spirit forward and delicious. For my dinner, I got their chicken schnitzel. It was hands down the best chicken schnitzel of my life. It comes piled with a perfectly dressed caesar salad and topped with trout roe. My good gracious--I'll be dreaming of this dish. It was perfection. Our server was so kind and just wonderful throughout our experience. Can't really say enough--wonderful from beginning to end!
