Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Albany

We discovered the beautiful back patio. Even though it was raining, it was warm and comfortable. The service was attentive and welcoming, and the food was spectacular as ever. Can’t wait to return.

Christmas prix fixe menu was just delicious and a good value. Service was efficient and attentive for a bustling night. The only downside- cold in the restaurant. Had to keep my coat on, many diners as well. Lobster Bisque is delicious, the Crab and Artichoke dip very tasty. Entrees were great- PrimeRib, Surf and Turf, tender and well seasoned Swordfish. We would go again and probably will next year.

Absolutely excellent experience and meal. Probably the best pork chop we have ever had! Service was fantastic from the moment we walked in to this inviting space. Friendly and extremely professional. We had not been to The Cavalier in a few years and were very pleased that it’s still top shelf! We plan to visit again soon.

Went for Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes and did the full wine pairing— a splurge after a busy & draining day/week/year. The space was welcoming and festive, the wine pairings were interesting and thoughtful and the hospitality and service were impeccable from the moment we walked in to the moment we left hours later. Mistakes happen - especially on a busy holiday shift - but any minor hiccups were swiftly addressed. We felt treated like royalty but then also like old friends by the end of the meal.

A great pre-theater option for light bites, sandwiches, and salads. Outside seating is nice mid- afternoon and service was wonderful.
