Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Albany

Always a wonderful experience. The staff are consummate professionals and the food always leaves satisfied, grateful, and appropriately full.

Holy cow! Excellent food and service! Great quaint location. Had the steak and scallops dishes for dinner. Delicious, tasty, well-seasoned, well cooked. Opened up with the charred Brussels sprouts and beef carpaccio. Also had the little gem salad. Their bread is soft and crunchy at the same time? How’s that? The place was sold out and with a line of people waiting for their turn to sit at a table. Owners are present and working. Just a great restaurant with great dishes!

Scallop risotto, French dip sandwich, and black cod couscous were all awesome! Definitely worth trying. But my fave was the Brussels sprouts!!! They were crunchy with just the right amount of sweetness, vinegar, and that panasan cheese. So good!

Overall this is our first time here at Waterbar and let me tell you it did go above and beyond our expectations on food ! As a sous chef new to the area this was beyond amazing , the lobster risotto was flavorful full of umami and an overall beautiful delicate dish. Service was great , our guest talked with us the whole time , he did have to ask us to repeat ourselves several times due to the large loud party beside us , but kept the pace of the night very fluid and engaging. Would dine in and recommend any day of the week.

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