Creo Restaurant

I walked into Creo on a Thursday night with a friend around 5:30 PM. We were wondering at first if we needed a reservation, the bar area in this place was packed! Upon speaking with the hostess, we were promptly seated in their back dining area. What a change from the front, it was very quiet in the back area. Once we were seated our first agenda item was to choose a glass of wine. Creo offers an...

Marotta’s Bar-Risto

I was really excited when Marotta’s Bar-Risto opened on lower Union Street in Schenectady, right a stone’s throw from my apartment. After driving by it several times and seeing the modern look of it and the nice outdoor patio, we made a reservation for 6:30 PM on a Saturday night. There’s only one word to describe our visit to Marotta’s: FAIL. We arrived at 6:30 promptly to find a small line...

Albany Pump Station

We made a reservation for the Saturday night of Albany restaurant week at the Albany Pump Station. The Albany Pump Station is home to Evan’s Ale, a brewery initially based out of Hudson, N.Y., but found home to downtown Albany in Quackenbush Square. They brew their beer on their premises and had 8 beers on tap the night we were visiting. Upon being immediately seated in their lounge, we ordered a...

Sushi X Lounge

If there is one food I can eat tons and tons of, its sushi. That’s why I was so excited to hear of Sushi X coming to Latham. The concept is all you can eat sushi for a set price, but they encourage you to order only what you can eat in efforts to keep prices low. They also toss in a hot menu of appetizers to choose from, as well as sushi bar appetizers. Everything is served in your desired...

New World Bistro Bar

I have to start this review off by saying that New World Bistro Bar was probably the best culinary experience I have had in months. From service, to appearance of food, to menu; everything about this establishment was top notch. We showed up on a Saturday night around 7:30, with a reservation. The restaurant was extremely busy, so reservations are recommended. I called two days in advance and was...

Bangkok Bistro – Colonie

tn lottery I called Bangkok Bistro in Colonie on Thursday to try and reserve for Valentine’s Day weekend for a Ladies Night out to be advised that they didn’t take reservations, but would do their best to accommodate us for a party of 9. When we arrived there on Saturday night at 6:30, I was surprised to see their parking lot wasn’t empty, but was by no means as insane as I was expecting for...

Villa Italia Bakery

il lottery I decided to utilize Villa Italia for a very special occasion: my boyfriend’s surprise 30th birthday party. Normally for birthdays, we utilize our local Hannaford for cakes due to their delicious best cream whipped cream frosting, but I decided that I wanted something a bit fancy for this event. The Villa Italia Bakery is notorious in the Capital Region for being an amazing bakery owned...

Sake Cafe

ohio lottery Eric and I made our way down to Sake Cafe around prime dining out time for a Saturday night. The tiny restaurant was pretty packed, and we settled for a seat at the bar. Right away, I was unhappy with the location of the seat. The wait staff and customers trying to get to the bar all had to push their way past us from the back, constantly bashing into our seats. After a few minutes,...
