The Local 217 Taproom & Kitchen -Food CA (Near Albany)

Ron Randall 41st anniversary dinner for my wife, had to try this place, for years I ask her to make reservations and she just blew me off, her uniqueness. Showed up at 6 first mistake, it was quite loud older folks really can set the noise level up there. We had been seated very fast, OK it was an excellent start, the waitress was with us within a couple minutes with water and bread, nice a step above our usual steakhouse up by the mall. We had no appetizers, just ordered our dinner, we both had the "Surf & Turf" which was a 24 ounce prime rib, I ordered the chicken scampi & my wife ordered the shrimp scampi, which was part of the meal, we had a tossed salad and a baked potato also part of the Surf & Turf which is $56.xx The salad arrived in about 10 minutes it was excellent, and we had time to talk and enjoy our salad before the main course arrived. The main course arrived 12-15 minutes later which was perfect in our opinion. The prime rib wss cooked perfectly to our idea of medium rare, both pieces had a nice broiled appearance, the taste & tenderness was delicious. My wife said the shrimp 4 nice sized shrimp perfectly cooked, very lightly battered, crunchy but tender, she thought they were amazing. The chicken I had appeared to be a large breast that was pounded to tenderize it, it was in a sauce heavily tasting of garlic delicious, not a stringy breast you buy at the grocery store or it was properly tenderized prior to cooking. The bake potato was not a "Idaho baking potato" with the heavy skin and yellow coloration, it was according to my wife a "chefs potato" it was excellent, nice and creamy cooked to perfection. This place will replace the chain steak restaurant we would frequently visit. The bill was 124.xx that included 9.xx tax. We tipped the waiter $20.00 My wife and I really enjoyed our visit although a tad loud at the time we went on a Wednesday. Still an enjoyable anniversary dinner. Lets see if our next visit will be as pleasing.

BigWin17 The food there is very delicious and they offer large amounts for the price. While we waited for our food they brought out Bara to the table which was tasted just like home. All of the food was loaded with flavor. Absolutely love the new location and restaurant. Definitely worth trying again.

Morgan Staunches I cannot say enough great things about Kelly’s! Their staff is the sweetest, they always have smiles on their faces, and they are super kind. The food is delicious and makes you feel good. My favorite is the PB smoothie, it’s soooo good! I highly recommend this place to anyone. They are awesome!

Laura G I loved this spot — cozy, very cute inside, and perfect to a casual date. I enjoyed most how focused and interesting their wine collection is. We ordered the kale Caesar salad, and it was very delicious. The staff was polite, definitely will look forward to visiting again.

Matt Hazelton Got the AYCE on Sunday. Same price as Dinner on the weekends. $30 Spider roll, lobster salad and shrimp tempura mango roll and assorted sashimi and nigiri. Sexy jalapeño app. Way better that the Lake George AYCE.

Sara Jones A convenient spot for a quick bite! Its located right at the entrance and has two different places to order from; a little coffee place and the café. The sandwiches are pretty good and they will warm them up if you ask. They also have soup, pizzas, salads, drinks, chips, and cookies. There is a good amount of seating both inside and on the outdoor covered patio.
