"I came here for the Saratoga Restaurant Week menu. The location is in Malta. The exterior looks like an old diner, but once inside and seated, I felt very relaxed and comfortable. My server was very pleasant and relaxed, which helped make my meal quite enjoyable. This was a very early dinner, so very few people were here at any given time. The service was very prompt and efficient. I started out with the antipasto skewers, with salami, mozzarella and tomatoes. I really don't like antipasto salads because of the vinegar, and also because I don't like olives or raw tomatoes. But I ate the green parts of the salad, the meat and the cheese. This was the low part of the meal for me, but I could appreciate that it was a good appetizer. The Sole Français was exquisite, with a nice glazy-creamy, lemony sauce, perfectly-cooked green beans and delicious mashed potatoes. I enjoyed the good mix of music being softly piped in...a blend of 70s pop-rock to country, and lots in-between (the good stuff). Dessert was Tuxedo Cake, in this case, a 3-layer, yellow, all-purpose flour cake. One layer was filled with a chocolate cream, another with a white cream, and it was covered with a darker icing of chocolate. Very nice...somewhat dense but not sickeningly sweet like a lot of cakes can be. The coffee was delicious...and that's rare up in these parts. If I lived up in this neck of the woods, I'd be here every week. The more extensive menu offers even more of their interesting dishes. At just $30, this was one of the least expensive of the Saratoga region's Restaurant Week menus. Before I left, I learned that this place is closely connected with Lake Ridge Restaurant down in Round Lake, which happened to be my next stop and is one of my 5 favorite restaurants in the Capital-Saratoga region."
