We were the only four people of color at the restaurant, and received especially negative treatment from the general manager, DALLAS. We made a reservation for dining inside as it was a cold and rainy day, but when we came we were seated outside and were promised to be seated inside as soon as possible, however the manager reset our line in the queue for the inside seating when we specifically were promised by the host that we would not lose our line in the queue even if we're temporarily seated outside. The general manager, Dallas, gaslighted me and my partner for inquiring further about why our seats took so long (50 minutes), even though there were ample seats inside. Dallas exclaimed that he would not speak to me further because I raised my voice, but in fact it was him scolding me and asserted verbal violence against a Bipoc woman. We were upset by this racist and sexist behavior in a seemingly liberal and welcoming town, and asked for our bill immediately without waiting for our food further (the food took way longer than expected). Dallas then came to us and delivered a half-baked apology, and we cannot accept this apology and would like the restaurant to improve their management training or they may continue to lose customers from diverse populations. read more

The food at Wheatfields was outstanding. I ordered calamari and the special pizza of the day: fried eggplant pizza! The crust was so thin and crispy and the pizza toppings were loaded with flavor. Calamari was covered in a sweet and sour sauce and were also great. The server was very friendly and attentive and also shared some information about downtown Saratoga with me. Very glad I stopped here! read more

The server was either overworked or under qualified. Seeing the kitchen prep area right next to our table, our salads sat out for 20 mins without being served and then entrees came out cold 6 mins later Overpriced and under quality food A definite stay away from Sorry folks but as one who dimes out 4 days a week I can't say anything good read more

I dont know what happened, but the pizza, menu and food is sub-par. Place used to be good before covid. Very limited menu now. The pizza was like eating crackers. The linguini was thick pasta like a buccatini. Sauce was nothing special. Guess we will take this off our list of restaurants that we visit. read more

We were visiting from florida for my step fathers funeral ....the food was fabulous...great Italian items and classic New York food as well...Philly sandwich was great, truffle fries were also great...friendly service...bathrooms were clean...definitely recommend eating here read more

Had late breakfast (it was closer to lunchtime but they weren't serving lunch yet - yes it was a bit odd). There was an argument on the next table who wanted lunch but he wouldn't show them the menu - eventually he agreed and said - but you can't order for another 15 minutes - doh wtf really Server omg so so slow. We ordered food and drinks and I think we waited about 20 minutes for the drinks to come (no sense of revenue earning here - still at least we drank less!) Food - I had some kind of fish Benedict think it was sole (can't recall it was a white slab of fish that was a special) - it was over cooked, kids had burrito wraps - not that tasty. Also caprese wrap that had virtually no cheese in it. Bill seemed to take forever. I'd give the food 2/5 and the service 1/5. Place felt a bit run down at the back of the restaurant (closer to the toilets). Bar area seemed quite nice though (we didn't sit in that section). Overall 1.5 - and no we wouldn't go back or recommend read more

We had the most AMAZING waiter his name was John, food was AMAZING service was AMAZING. First time here and will definitely be back when I am back in town read more

Totally not worth the trip!!!!! Food takes forever service is awful,,never get it right thought we had happy hour it changes constantly they don't even know when it is either,, the most disorganized restaurant I've been to ,food wasn't even right,, bigg stupid aggravation place to go,,totally don't,,much better choices in town,,try Harvey's read more

Everyone here was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable! Our sever Rachel was wonderful and also helped me pick between two dishes. I'm so glad she did because the seafood feature was SO good and fresh! The feature was haddock stuffed with a spinach and roasted tomato, garlic herb risotto, incredibly seasoned (not salty) cauliflower and an herb cream sauce garnished with micro greens. My boyfriend got the sausage, pepper and onion pizza and we also enjoyed the bruschetta which I can be picky about as many places make it rather oily. It was great here! Just the right balance and the flavors were all super fresh and wonderfully balanced. Definitely Recommend this place and will go back if in the area again soon! read more

Sadly I have to both update and downgrade my review. While there are still some things I really enjoy at Wheatfields.. still swear their calamari is the best. The menu is terrible. It's as Mark D. said; "dumbed down". It seems very shortened, I couldn't even find one tortellini dish on the menu. My daughter is a picky eater and she loved the tortellini here, it was nice to have this as an option for when we go out. Unfortunately I'm going to have to leave Wheatfields off the options list. Last time her pesto was more oil then anything else. The menu is very basic. For a place that makes it's own pasta, they certainly don't have an in-depth variety of it. They don't have specials of the sort they used to have, which were imaginative and tasty. Now it's just a daily special that never changes. The menu list them permanently, seems like it's just the token fish or veal dish for the most part. Service? Pretty sure they don't care and they seem to have the "you're lucky to be eating here" mindset. No staff members, you're lucky anyone eats at Wheatfields. If you're *realllllly* lucky even after your apathetic service, customers may still choose to tip you. I guess I'm going to move Wheatfields(hopefully just for now) to the drinks and nibbles list. They do have great cocktails. read more

Wheatfields - Gluten-Free Near Me - Saratoga Springs, New York

It's challenging for me to be truly objective here, because in Wheatfields early days (I'm talking the 90s), it was one of my go-to places for very specific dishes. Among these was the lasagna primavera, truly the best vegetable lasagna I have ever had. It's been off the menu for quite a while. My first visit here in several years was okay but not memorable. The decor is pleasant, the bread is still crisp and warm. One plus now is that it's served with a good quality EVOO from Saratoga Olive Oil. I assume they still make their own pasta, which is still a plus. Yes, we did try the lasagna again - slightly less than what you used to get for about 60% more than in "the old days." It was okay. But I would have been glad to pay a little bit more to get a dish with more sauce and another layer of meat, or at least non-grey meat. Sides are separate, typically $4, and these are decent. Service was fine. But I noticed the front desk was left vacant a bit too often. This was not the fault of an inattentive hostess. This was because the hostess was overworked, often having to leave the stand to attend other issues. The wait staff often had to seat new customers. I would suggest whoever manages the restaurant to put fewer demands on the hostess so that she can do her job. The bar area was quite popular, and I believe they have happy hour deals. That appears to be the bigger draw for Wheatfields these days. read more

Tim & Colleen Holmes have been preparing and serving fresh-made pasta and farm-to-table dishes at Wheatfields on Broadway in downtown Saratoga Springs for over 20 years. The restaurant makes close to 20 different shapes and flavors of pasta, along with popular bistro-style dishes for those who prefer vegetarian, beef, chicken, seafood, or their signature items. Inside the restaurant is a large bar area, which is quite popular for Happy Hour, and a large dining room for those who would prefer to eat their lunch, rather than drinking it. The lunch menu has some real creative small plate and appetizer choices, along with entrée salads, soups, pasta dishes, sandwiches, and pizzas. The dinner menu adds on a nice mix of bistro entrées with lots of seafood, chicken and steaks. There's also a vegetarian, gluten-free, Happy Hour, late night, and 3-course prix fixe Thursday menu. Plenty to choose from! When the weather cooperates, it's nice to sit outside under the awning, and people-watch as you enjoy your meal. This section of Broadway is always busy with mid-day shoppers and students from Skidmore College roaming up and down Broadway. I enjoyed the cool (non-humid) Summer breezes as I chose to dine al fresco. My meal started with a cup of their white bean, spinach and tomato soup in a chicken broth. That came with a small bag of the world's greatest oyster crackers from Rutland, VT. Next was the sandwich of the day, or in this case an Italian Flatbread Wrap made with pepperoni, soprasetta, provolone, and arugula pressed down onto the flatbread, and served with a side of pasta salad. Real tasty food, and a nice atmosphere. If the weather cooperates, I encourage you to sit outside and enjoy watching the people strolling by on Broadway. while you eat your meal. read more

If you get last minute reservations somewhere on Mother's Day, you should question why.... The food was overpriced, bland, undercooked, and in small portions. The service was mediocre, bordering on bad, and the place was half full, so being busy doesn't count as a reason. All over, pretty forgettable. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Wheatfields - Undercooked pizza, not fully topped . - Gluten-Free Near Me - Saratoga Springs, New York

John took great care of us: his friendly demeanor and attentive service were great. The food and atmosphere first class.

As surprising as it may be, Wheatfield's food is on par with some of the best I've had in New York City. And along a string of restaurants by the neighboring Hilton, this restaurant had the most reasonable prices. After a long day of attending and working at a nearby conference, my colleague and I were gearing up for a nice cozy meal here. I was going to settle for the beet salad at a relatively low price of $7. When we read through the specials, my dining counterpart was recommended the sweet potato gnocchi and I also ordered the Risotto Arancini appetizer. The beet salad was exceptional, given that they didn't use canned beets and the arugula was topped off with a fresh slice of fresh goat cheese on top. Easily 9 or 10 dollars in Manhattan, I was really pleased with what I ordered. I wish I could speak more to the salad, but the sweet potato gnocchi was arguably the best gnocchi I've ever had -- soft but not squishy and the perfect balance of alfredo sauce to finish off our bread with. The Arancini appetizer was amazing as well: deep fried arancini- (small oranges) shaped risotto, panko-encrusted mushroom with smoked gouda. And it didn't feel like a heart attack afterwards. The service was great also which added to the overall perfect way to decompress and stuff ourselves on a cold Saratoga evening :). read more

I love this restaurant for their excellent Italian meals, friendly staff, outdoor seating on broadway and my bf of 18 yrs always took me there and got me chocolate mousse, which is amazing. We always take to go, cus he always had to get home to "sleep". broke up with that cheater and now I know how to make it on my own bc no one takes me out anymore, he wrecked me. Great place tho, deserves five stars. One of the most popular and friendly places with great food in Toga. read more

Went for Lunch with Co-workers again. Upgradation. Food- 4 Stars This time I got a special Pizza, it was pretty damn good. It could have used a minute or two longer to crisp up, but it was overall solid. Everyone else appeared to like their lunches. Service- 3.5 Stars No annoying up-sells this time, just nice service from a nice waitress. Atmosphere- 3.5 Stars. Fine, nothing special. Weirdly setup multiple entrances. Value- 2.5 Stars Lunch was a bit overpriced for what it was. read more

I've been to the Clifton Park location once before and thought it was OK and that I would give Wheatfields another try but after Friday night, this will be my last visit to any location. A group of friends and I were looking for a place to eat in Saratoga on a Friday night without reservations (rookie mistake) and were told by every restaurant that their next available reservation wasn't for another two hours. We walked past Wheatfields and figured we'd see what they had for availability and somehow we were sat immediately. That was probably the only good thing about the whole experience. I ordered the red sangria, which was good but overpriced. I also ordered the calamari, which again was pretty good but over priced. The serving size wasn't too plentiful either. For my entree I ordered the lasagna and a side of meatballs (Don't judge I was hungry). Food came out pretty quick, but it lacked major flavor. The sauce was not hearty at all and it tasted like it was missing something. It was really liquidy and the tomato chunks looked like they were poured from a can. Overall, the lasagna tasted like it was frozen, reheated and served. Gross. Isn't homemade pasta their claim to fame? The meatballs were actually some of the worst I've ever had. They were so dry and again, flavorless. To top everything off halfway through my meal I got the worst pains in my stomach that lasted the rest of the night. I felt like I was going to be sick every 10 minutes. The value of what you're paying for just isn't there. All their entrees, apps and drinks are way overpriced by at least 3-4 bucks and are't worth it at all. Bland, flavorless, mediocre food. There's so many better options. read more

Fairly unimpressive overall. Service was incredibly slow and food was mediocre. I could have gotten better tasting food at Olive Garden and better service as well. read more

We gave this restaurant an 8/10. We took an average of the drinks, atmosphere, service, and dishes to get our total. First, the atmosphere. It was nice and dim with a slightly rustic feel, which was relaxing. The service was good, it was very speedy with friendly waiters. Second, the drinks. We got cranberry juice and seltzer water. They were both well above average. Thirdly, the food. The appetizer, the crispy calamari, was subpar, being soggy, bland, and messy. The entree, we got rosemary pork chop, with whipped mashed potatoes and salad. The salad and pork chop were amazing, but the mashed potatoes weren't amazing, but decent. Overall, we recommend the restaurant to anyone visiting Saratoga Springs downtown. read more

I came here twice while visiting Saratoga Springs. The pesto is amazing. I highly recommend trying it. The creme brûlée is very vanilla-y and sooo good The batter on calamari is good though I don't like the sauce read more

The wait was long, add I've seen others say but the waitress wad really trying her best. I had the cream of mushroom soup which was delicious. I wasn't really hungry so I only ordered the buffalo chicken flatbread. It was quite taste. I also ordered a side of risotto. It wasn't really good but it can be a hard dish typo make. There were a lot of taste looking items on menu. I'll review when I come back and try some. read more

Wheatfields - Dinner alone! - Gluten-Free Near Me - Saratoga Springs, New York

We went here for a light dinner. We ordered two appetizers and a couple of drinks. We had no complaints about the drinks or food, but the service could have been better. This is the place to go for a leisurely dinner - not if you just drove 4 hours and want to go to bed ASAP. I'd recommend giving the stuffed pasta appetizer and the Wheatfields Sangria a try - they were both delicious! read more

I came here on a Monday evening. It wasn't too busy and I sat outside on a brisk late September evening. It was Meatball Monday and I was greeted by the effervescent and delightful Kellsey. She said the meatballs were pretty freaking good (not as good as her mother's, but a close second). I ordered just one, with my dinner. The meatball was amazing. And huge. And I haven't eaten meat in a long time so this was a treat. The marinara was flavorful and thick. And the bread was crusty and chewy and delicious... But what I really ordered for my dinner was the Market Pizza. This was grilled veggies, goat cheese, hummus spread on a flatbread dough topped with greens. Really good, really fresh and probably pretty healthy too! Note: the Yelp! hours indicate that Wheatfields closes at 7, it does not. Also I read a review suggesting the antipasto platter was unacceptable the previous night. Kellsey brought me one that had just been made and it looked delicious (photo posted). I continue to recommend Wheatfields; Food, service and Kellsey. read more

My husband and I really wanted good food but have a baby and we're always nervous about bringing him out, we don't want him screaming while someone is trying to enjoy their meal. But we did it. We went out. And it was SO worth it. We had the bean spread as an app. Chicken parm and chicken Marsala. The food was AMAZING. house made pasta cooked perfectly. The 3 of us enjoyed everything, the staff was friendly and attentive. We brought home tiramisu for dessert. I am enjoying my left over Marsala right now on the couch while everyone else is napping. read more

Love love love Wheatfields.... I had Chicken Parm for $21 which is a bit high but not for Saratoga in August! DH had Fettuccini Alfredo @ $19...

Wheatfields - Dining room to bar - Gluten-Free Near Me - Saratoga Springs, New York

We're local but haven't been to Wheatfields for many years. A fixed price menu for restaurant week drew us back for another try. It was good. I don't understand some of the criticisms that others made. We thought the decor was very nice with incredible paintings of local buildings on all the walls. Couldn't tell who the artist was. Woodwork was simple but nice with nothing gaudy. If you are up front, you have a pretty view of Broadway. Also, we were there off-season so there was no touristy feel about the clientele or atmosphere. Waitress was neat and professionally reserved. No problem. Our dinners were OK with a very good Caesar salad, good pasta dishes, and so so deserts. The bread basket that another praised was nothing special. Issues: A bread plate was dirty with a very small spot of baked on food. It wasn't gross but still ... The stem of my wine glass was dirty and sticky. The rest of the glass was fine. How did that happen? Finally, someone made a very bad choice for the low end cabernet sauvignon. Thankfully I asked for a taste because it was dreadful with off flavors and too warm. With so many low priced, good wines from places like Chile, this is inexcusable. I ended up with a Temperanillo that was OK but obviously crafted for nondiscriminating drinkers. That's a lot of issues but none are serious. Wheatfields was in total $7 more than another local Italian restaurant but it was much, much better. Nice but not memorable dining on this visit. read more

Enjoyable front patio. Very good Arancini. We had the sausage and broccolini raviolis and one of the specials: shaved beef in marsala sauce over zitti. The special was really tasty with peppers balancing nicely the marsala sauce. We were however expecting way better from the sausage and broccolini ravioli. The ravioli were basically pasta dough around sausage meat and the broccolini sliced stems (not the yummy florets) were only present in a rather oily sauce. Honestly not bad but not worth more than 3 stars either. read more

Had a disappointing experience here and am unlikely to go back. There are a few good restaurants in Saratoga with gluten free options, but we decided to venture into this one for some gluten free pizza. We arrived when they first opened and were seated at an outdoor table. The table itself rocked horribly, so we were easily seated at another since it was empty. The server was very friendly and cheerful, but she didn't seem knowledgeable about what on the menu was gluten free, or if things were prepared in a dedicated oven. My dining companion had to ask for gluten free bread and we received it, but I think it's still a plus that they had any at all, as a lot of places usually don't. The drinks were served quickly, but what really gets 3 stars is the food. I got a pizza and my partner decided to get pasta. For whatever reason, it took a really look time to make the pasta. We waited about 45 minutes for the food, and if that wasn't bad enough, it was cold. The waiter came out at one point and told me that the pizza was ready but the pasta wasn't. Ten - count them, ten - minutes later, she brought me the pizza because she "felt bad that it was dying in the window." Like, it was nice of her to do that but at that point the first slice was lukewarm, and then the second slice was cold. I thought about asking her to reheat it, but my partner's dish was cold too, and considering how it was supposed to be "just out" I'm wondering if there was a mix-up with another table or something. The dessert - a chocolate torte cake - was good, but we were told that it wasn't made in house, so that was a bit disappointing. They didn't have many gluten free options available for dessert either way. All in all, I don't think I'll be back here again just because of how long it took to get the food when it wasn't even all that crowded. Why wait so long for cold food when there are so many other places in Saratoga to eat? read more

Wheatfield's is a small Italian Restaurant located in the heart of Saratoga Springs, NY... I sat at the bar and my bartender/waiter was very kind and so helpful with recommending the highly recommended selections available on the menu. The soup was Butternut Squash Bisque - it was fabulous. However, for dinner I ordered scallops with an asparagus risotto and Tortellini with a pesto cream sauce. I was a bit disappointed with how the scallops and risotto was cooked. I'm still in the search of an amazing risotto! Any suggestions? The Tortellini with a pesto cream sauce was very pleasing with a glass of Malbec red wine... Atmosphere was very comfy, cozy and relaxing if you are just cold and want to go to a restaurant without having any concerns of being someone that you aren't. Just go as yourself and enjoy the whole place. Great Job!! read more

Food was very good a little expensive and it took a while to get the check at the end,but overall a good experience

I don't understand the hype of this place. The two times I've visited with friends, I regretted mid way through our meal. Service is sub par at best- mistook orders, wrong order and horrible attitude. Most of my party rated their meal as average and my SO's meal could not be eaten even though it came out 25 mins after everyone else. Waiter begrudgingly brought the same dish back and was rude when I requested a refund. We had to adjourn to another eatery to get food. Probably won't be coming back again. read more
