"New chef is great! Before the new chef, although they had good selection of wines, the food was average at best. The portions are not big, but extremely delicious. We haven't got a better cheese plate even in Paris! Bruschettas were also great, truly European standard. Spindles has a great potential to become a cool wine bar with European feel if they can update the décor a bit since the food and wine is really up to European standard now, might be even better (Me and my husband travelled a lot in Europe). If the owner could change the interior décor (which feels dark and outdated now), the place can easily go the next level. All plates we tried were delicious but I can especially recommend Malbec wine together with cheese plate and bruschetta for a little taste of Europe."

I always have a great time at Spindles Wine Bar. I've been visiting since it opened, and I've never had a bad experience with the food or service. I even have a few corks on the wall, haha! View menu

I dined at this restaurant last Saturday night, and the food was incredibly delicious! They have an excellent wine selection. The atmosphere was cozy, and our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be returning. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Great wine, delicious food, and affordable prices. Be sure to try the salmon; it's cooked to perfection. The Lobster Mac is equally fantastic. However, the highlight is definitely the French bread—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It doesn't get any better than that! View menu

When we checked Yelp for a spot to enjoy a glass of wine, we came across Spindles, which is listed as a wine bar. However, it's far from that—it's actually one of the most entertaining dive bars I've visited in years. If I lived in the Albany area, Spindles Wine Bar would definitely be my go-to place.

The drinks were enjoyable and the service was friendly, but unfortunately, the food fell short. The roasted beet salad tasted as if it came from a can or was merely steamed; there was nothing roasted about it. The short rib consisted of a small piece that was mostly fat, accompanied by a heap of fettuccine and roasted vegetables drenched in an overly salty sauce that seemed more like stock than anything homemade. The only highlight on the plate was the roasted vegetables, which did appear to be genuinely roasted. I really wanted to discover a new favorite restaurant, and I hope that some of the other menu items, which sound promising, live up to expectations.

"Waited a few weeks to write this review, because I wanted to still be objective even though the experience was entirely disappointing: The 1st star is mandatory. The 2nd star is for the fantastic location and ambiance. The good: Whoever designed this space knows what they were doing. Kudos. It’s beautiful. It feels *nice* without feeling stiff. The hybrid inside outside dining area is phenomenal; You can sit indoors in the shelter while still feeling as if you are dining by the water. It’s an excellent feel. The looks and feel of this restaurant promises a top notch dining experience. If the looks, feel, and location of this restaurant is a 1st class intergalactic spaceship, the service is a moody teenager forced to pretend to be a pilot. The hostess looked like she was plucked from the nearest high school and asked to act as cool and aloof as possible while still maybe getting the guests seated. Our waitress then ignored us for about ten minutes in an empty section before we were handed the menu, then switched to hounding us to put in an order immediately. There was no introduction, no explanation of the menu, nor any offer to answer any questions— just several rapid fire drive by “are you ready to order yet?”s. Her demeanor loosened after we put in orders for several appetizers and full entrees, so maybe we just looked poor to her and so were not worth anything more than disdainful, obligatory service. I don’t know. She still received our bottom end 15% tip, which on a $350/2p bill still feels like much more than what she earned from the 20 seconds it took to take our order with a near zero presence during the meal itself The food took much, much longer than it should to come out. We didn’t time it. Maybe in the range of an hour? The waitress was not around to inform if there was any issue in the kitchen and the food was delivered unceremoniously by a runner, who first left it at the wrong table. There is also something (maybe irrationally) uncomfortable with watching your food being breathed on by random people while they figure out that it is not their order, and then having the runner bring it to you with no comment. I won’t go into the quality of the cooking itself. It’s going to sound really mean. But you can taste the synthetic components to some of the sauces— and for a “real food” establishment, that is a difficult thing to get over. This is a very big feedback sandwich and I’m struggling to find something truthfully nice to say about the food. The raw bar seems to be very fresh and very high quality. The drinks are well composed. We wanted to love it and have a ‘nice’ place to visit regularly. Will possibly revisit in another year and hope there are some changes that better serves the amazing location and ambiance. If the owner of the establishment reads this: You obviously know what a “nice restaurant” looks like, but your staff might not know what a “nice restaurant” feels like. Please take them out to a Michelin starred place for notes, and leverage the experience to build your fine dining empire. We are all cheering for you to make fine dining in Albany a reality.
