I dragged hubbie to a bunch of clothing stores and craft shops on a rainy Saturday morning so I let him pick the place for lunch. Good Pick!!!! Everything on the menu looked so good that it made the decision difficult. I ended up going with something a bit "fall-ish". French onion soup to start followed by the gobbler sandwich. Hubbie also went for a hearty lunch with the beef barley soup (soup of the day) and a big fat burger. Everything was very good, tasty, and yummy. I loved the Saratoga chips- cut fresh and still warm, perfectly salted. My sandwich was huge and something to make even Ross Geller (NBC's Friends) proud with the cranberry stuffing and mayo making the perfect moist maker for the thick cut Turkey. Hubbie said that his burger was wonderful and that his soup had thick chunks of pot roast in it. My soup, however, is my only real complaint of the meal. There was nothing really wrong with it. Very good actually but it tasted a little flat. It was made without sherry, herbs or anything to give it just a little extra something special. Service was adequate. They were busy. Probably a very nice view of the golf course if not for the pouring rain. Pleasant lunch overall.

First time here; wonderful meal, service & ambiance. Decorated for the holidays with fireplace glowing, pointsettia, garland & tiny white lights.

We were here this past weekend on Saturday night meeting friends for dinner and with family on Easter Sunday. Both dinner experiences were excellent. The special menu on Saturday night included a nice sea bass cooked to perfection. Yesterday my polenta and eggplant was delicious. Besides the great quality of food, service by the wait staff is always very professional.

Ala Shanghai

Reviewed By AndreaZNy - Watervliet

We tried the restaurant when it first opened after reading some very good newspaper reviews. We didn’t like anything we tried at that time. Fast forward several years and we thought we’d try them again for some take out. We tried Shanghai wonton soup, vegetarian hot and sour soup, cold sesame noodles and a forgetful beef dish. We disliked the first three dishes mentioned. The Wonton soup had a strange flavor, the hot and sour soup was not good at all and the cold sesame noodles was terrible. I can’t even remember what the beef dish was, aside from remembering that we threw it out. We have been eating Chinese food since childhood (from Long Island and NYC)and it’s hard to understand how this restaurant continues to have customers. While there may be dishes on the menu that are okay, we’re not going to give them another try. Sorry....our search for good Chinese food in the Capital District continues.

Karavalli

Reviewed By Reddragon61 - Kingston, Canada

We have now visited Karavalli four times and wish we lived near enough to make it more often. Each meal was superb in every way - menu choices, service, ambience, and unbelievably good Indian food. Probably the best we have experienced in over 50 years, we shall make a habit of returning whenever possible. France's Michelin Guide's highest compliment is "Merite un detour" (worth a detour), which certainly applies to Karavalli.

Carrabba's Italian Grill

Reviewed By bluesmama11 - Castleton On Hudson, New York

I don't normally frequent chain places but had the opportunity to dine here for a work meeting. I thought the menu was diverse, with enough vegetarian options to suit me (never hard in an Italian place), and the prices were reasonable--we had the three course lunch option for $10 and change. The pasta was very fresh and the sauce very flavorful.
They bring a warm focaccia bread with olive oil at the table when you arrive, and don't mind if you ask for more :-)
Service was friendly. They have a pretty bar area plus a working fireplace.

Sake

Reviewed By JudyTroy_NY - Troy, NY

We are repeat customers and I don't even relish sushi. Went with friends after a concert in Schenectady on Sunday night and thoroughly enjoyed our favorite waitress, the atmosphere and the food. I had the combination tempura dinner and enjoyed every delicious morsel. The other three guests had sushi which was visually appealing and very fresh and tasty. No doggies bags tonight!

Highly recommend!
