"I have to give a shoutout to the friendly and accommodating woman who took my phone order. She even recommended the vegan sour cream, which was delicious! I opted for the Asian veggie sub with vegan cheese, and it was incredibly tasty. I also enjoyed their salsa. My only issue was the price - $18 for two small quesadillas was a bit steep. However, I still left satisfied. I would recommend checking out this place, especially if you are making the transition from omnivore to herbivore like me!"

"Spaghetti doesn 't get the top billing of very many restaurants these days. The only reason it does at Joe 's is because the place has been around for such a long time, they wouldn 't dream of changing the sign. I suppose I should come back and at least give the spaghetti a try. But that would be a hard sell with such solid versions of tavern classics. For me, the four stars here really represent a meal that was better than one might expect. And there 's probably no better place to start than with the pizza. That crust was serious business. It 's not a tavern style pizza shell of oily dough pressed into a pan. This is a crisp on the bottom, yeasted dough, that has picked up some good color from the oven floor. It 's completely remarkable given the setting. The mozzarella and melba were fine. Clearly in the top half of the category, but not quite at the level of cracking into the upper echelon (currently occupied by Ralph 's, Scubbers, and TJ 's). Joe 's melba was more than just syrup, but could could use some of the brightness of the berries. Wings here are totally solid. It 's kind of a misnomer to say they are pan fried in olive oil since I got a look at exactly how deep that pan actually is. The wings get a nice bath in the stuff, which is really the only way they can get nice and crispy all the way around. And inhaling that classic Frank 's and butter aroma, makes the mustiness of the dining room fade away. I actually think the smell had something to do with the cleaning products used and not food smells or moisture. But it 's hard to say. This was actually my first taste of Utica greens ever, so I don 't really have much with which to compare the experience. But I was a big fan. A bit of heat, and some tasty chunks of cured meat, tossed into a whole heap of savory, tender greens felt both virtuous and decadent. Clearly one of the drawbacks of tavern dining is the lack of vegetables, and I appreciated this as a way to get a bit of variety into the diet without venturing into salad territory. Most salads in the region, for most of the year, are a crime. But that 's another issue entirely. I 'm thrilled to have found this place. It 's an undiscovered gem in Cohoes. And it clearly deserves a place in the parthenon of the region 's great taverns. I hope it stays open forever, and that those who go there all the time realize just how special it is."

"A $14 New Years Eve cocktail shouldn't arrive watered down at the table; I sent it back with instructions to actually put alcohol in it. It seems this sort of thing happens more often than not. Do bartenders think that diners don't notice when they've been shortchanged the alcohol they've paid for? Aside from that, the lobster bisque was very good as well as the entree, although the latter arrived lukewarm and I sent it back to either be warmed up or a substitution made. They made good on it, although the food was still not as hot as I would have liked."

"I really wanted to like this restaurant as I have heard so many good things about it. The service was great, however when ordering my partner changed his appetizer from crab cakes to calamari, which the waiter acknowledged, but he was served the crab cakes. I ordered a vesper martini which tasted like it was made with dry vermouth and not sweet vermouth or Lillet. My second drink was a cosmopolitan which tasted like it was made with either vanilla vodka or vanilla syrup not good. Otherwise the sea bass was served with cold risotto and flavorless. Perhaps it was an off night but New Years Eve is a bad night for that. Disappointing, we skipped dessert and coffee."

"Please totally ignore my previous review. The food was fabulous. Tasty, freshly prepared and delightful. We ran into issues during checkout, but the restaurant has corrected the problem and offer both apologies and an explanation. Mistakes happen, but they responded quickly. They will definitely have my repeat business as it was one of the best lunches I've had."
