"Went there the other night for an early anniversary dinner and was highly disappointed. My husband and I have been once before for a rehearsal dinner and had a fabulous meal, so we were excited to go back. In those four years, something has gone awry. First, I called ahead of time and asked if there was any difference in the lunch and dinner menu, and was told it was the same menu all day. The server, who was inattentive and not particularly friendly, told us that because we were there between lunch and dinner there were no specials, implying we had chosen a poor time to eat. People were vacuuming and generally acting as if we had come during a bad time. I 'd say just close for a few hours to get yourselves ready for dinner service and not stay open if your service isn 't the same throughout the day. Our starters were pretty good though nothing to write home about. It was the super pricy surf and turf and prime rib that really let us down. The pieces of meat were heavy on the fat cap, which left relatively minimal edible meat. The meat we did have, while under seasoned and in heavy need of the aus jus, was cooked nicely. The sea bass part of the surf and turf was a joke in its size and cook somehow soggy and dry at the same time. The portion was also minuscule for the market price . Essentially, the price of the surf and turf is the cost of two entrees, but neither were entree size portions. The sides were atrocious. We had asked what the vegetable of the day was and told asparagus it was green beans. Our sides the mashed potatoes and the green beans were so overly salted that they were rendered inedible. I 'm sorry to say that we won 't be back anytime soon."

The owner of this restaurant racially discriminated against my daughter. Whether you are passive or blatant, racism is racism. This is despicable and horrific. Do not dine here.

Very nice place. The food was excellent and our server was wonderful. We were seated rather quickly, and I'll say we were lucky as the place was packed. But the food was very good.

First time in the area, was suggested from a coworker because it's right next to the hotel I'm staying at. I ate a bourbon bbq chicken sandwich and it was delicious... Service was great fast and nice. Place seems very popular. Would deff recommend. View menu

Slooooow service. They weren't busy. I ordered fish and chips. It was a single piece of haddock that was covered in Italian bread crumbs and pan fried. Very bland, and definitely not classic fish and chips. The bill for 5 adults who each had a two drinks with no appetizers was over $400. I would never recommend this place to anyone

The food was excellent! The service was also good. We got there around 8 PM on Sunday after visiting the Van Gogh exhibit. The staff was cleaning the dining room as if they were closing for the night, but there were still many tables with diners. We asked the hostess if it was too late to be seated, and she assured us it wasn't—that they were open for another hour. We ordered an appetizer and a special entrée, and both dishes were delicious.

My sister-in-law chose this restaurant to celebrate her birthday. They didn’t accept reservations for outdoor seating and advised us to arrive early, assuring us it wouldn’t be an issue. When we got there, however, we were informed that eight people couldn’t sit together outside and we’d need to split up into two tables of four. So, we opted to sit inside, where the waiter was incredibly accommodating. The cocktails, appetizers, and main courses were all outstanding. We did notice that outside, two tables had been pushed together to accommodate seven guests, which suggested that they might have had connections to secure that arrangement. After our meal, we migrated to the outdoor bar and lin... View menu

The restaurant we settled on was nice and had a very friendly server. There were plenty of options on the menu, and the kids were happy with their meals. I ordered a seafood special, which included lobster and mussels. However, I found it to be mostly thin pasta with a little seafood on top. Overall, the food was decent, but it felt more like a typical red sauce diner rather than fine dining, yet the prices felt a bit steep for what we received. Given the area, I expected things to be cheaper (though, as I mentioned earlier, maybe everyone's a billionaire here). While driving through, some parts of the town seemed quite run-down, but it improved as we got closer to Saratoga Springs. In my...

Summer is waning fast. Friend and I decided to enjoy lunch on the patio overlooking the Mohawk River. As long as you're under cover of an umbrella, it wasn't too hot to eat outside. (Inside only had one window table available hence our sitting outside. Also, inside tables are quite close to each other. I was told that the Waters Edge has been refurbed over the past few years to becoming a lovely place to enjoy dining alfresco. Also of note, a Homewood Suites was built a few years ago to adjoin the restaurant. So many options from appetizers to main dishes. I chose out of the many options, a flatbread pizza a shrimp scampi flatbread no less. Crust was crispy and delicious. A very large shrimp...
