Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Wynantskill

Outstanding food,. Josh and Kyra provided outstanding service. A great experience at a great restaurant!

Had 1 pm reservations for a Friday lunch and were seated promptly. Dining room was full which was a sign of its popularity. The dining room was nicely decorated and the table settings and tablecloths were a quality touch. Nathan, our server was exceedingly polite and welcoming: a professional in all respects. We ordered the Chicken pot pie. I noticed that no side salad was available on the menu and asked Nathan if one were available. He said it wasn’t a problem at all and the side salads provided were perfect. The pot pie was served in a a tall, cup-like dish, sitting in a lower, wider dish, topped with a puff-pastry biscuit on top. We actually weren’t sure how to eat it and Nathan explained we should remove the pastry, pour the pot pie into the larger dish, and put the pastry on top. The instructions were very helpful and given in such a way as to not embarrass us, much to Nathan’s credit. The pot pie was delicious with generously-sized portions of white meat. We ordered a side of breads, a small basket with a variety of rolls. All were freshly made and tasty. We finished with apple pie a la mode. The pie was also freshly-made and delicious, with a fluffy crust totally different than mass-produced pies. Red Lion is definitely worth the visit: both the food and staff are exceptional and the Inn is just full of character. Make sure you make reservations!

Delightful. The service was top notch as was the food. First time dinning here while visiting for the weekend, will travel back just to eat here again.

We booked a table here prior to attending a show at the Palace Theater. We absolutely loved it. My first impression was that their beer, wine and spirits list (including crafty cocktails) is probably one of the most comprehensive I’ve ever seen. They give you a basket of warm homemade pretzel nuggets to start. Menu is very creative, with lots of interesting options. Their onion soup is some of the best I’ve had with its rich flavor and cheesy goodness (I hate when they skimp on the cheese!). Our server Colleen was very efficient and friendly. She had quite a few tables and she managed them effortlessly. The bar scene was hopping and looked like it might be an after work spot in Albany. Nice bar, nice vibe. Would definitely return.

Great service, great food. Will definitely go back.
