This place is a serious gem. We got our first taste during Saratoga Spring's annual Chowderfest, and - although they served a vegan chowder - I can say, without hesitation that it was the best one of the day. It is so good, that I am desperate for them to add it to their winter menu.
We went back around the 4th of July, and again, we had a great experience. We tried their brisket sandwich and their Brussels sprouts. The Brussels were phenomenal. All the accoutrements made it the perfect snack. The brisket was really good - a little tough, but really good.
We went back for dinner last night. I had the spring ravioli with corn ricotta filling, and it was absolutely stellar. It was perfect, well-rounded, flavorful, and I didn't feel full and disgusting after - just perfectly satiated. My husband had the classic flatbread, and honestly, I have to say it wasn't that great. When they say "flatbread", they mean it. It is a thinner-than-a-cracker- crust - which is fine if you'er not very hungry. Just don't think you're going to leave with a full belly if you just eat this. The elements on the flatbread were fine. The sauce is ok, and they used mozzarella, but given how limited this dish is, it could use an extra, more flavorful cheese (maybe parmesan, or provolone). I don't mind the thin crust, but it's not what you would expect. I would prefer something a little better executed.
The ambiance is beautiful, cozy and hip. The music is great, and the staff has always been friendly. I love this restaurant, and I hope they stick around.
