3 /5 nathan haines: I was a bit disappointed with my first meal there. This place has a 4.7 rating, so my expectations were high.
I ordered to Chicken Liver Marsala on a friday night. It was fairly busy and a bit noisy. Maybe a couple dozen + people in there. I just wanted the appetizer, but had a little disconnect with waitress. Ended up getting meal with two sides.
I ordered the chicken livers medium/pink. I received very well done livers. Came with some buttered toast that was approaching burnt. The Marsala sauce just didnt taste like Marsala. Marsala wine has a very bold and sweet flavor. Even an inexpensive version should be very recognizable. If I got this item as random, Id never guess its supposed to be Marsala. Its a simple sauce to make. Its just reduced Marsala wine with demi glace stirred in. Maybe some garlic and herb added. Its pretty difficult to ruin. My side dishes were braised red cabbage and "executive" potatoes. Cabbage was pretty sweet. Potatoes were novel . They were cubed potatoes with olive , ham and seasoning. Unique item Ive never encountered before. Meal cost $26+ $5 tip.
The decor: Its a bar. Its reasonably clean and well kept. But its just a small bar. Seats maybe 40 people?
Most of the food from neighboring tables LOOKED appetizing. Im sure there are some good meals there. Broiled scallops, Haddock, Sheppards pie....etc....
Parking was a bit scarce.
I live in Albany, this was a bit of a drive for me. If youre a local this probably could be a favorite. I probably wont be back any time soon.
