    Love this restaurant and look forward to Albany visits. Quiet Tuesday night. Service always good. Great old school (warm wood) atmosphere. Food wasn’t up to usual standard. Maybe an off night. Artichoke app was just ok. My Shrimp with pasta. The dish wasn’t that warm. The pasta was heavy. It used to be a light pasta to go with the shrimp. Shrimp was just ok. It was just ok. And not inexpensive. My friend had the ravioli special and enjoyed it. Lemon cake dessert and coffee were good. Will be back.

    Great experience. We’ve had similar omakase / tasting menu dinners, but not in Albany. Will go back. IMO, the upgrade is worth the extra.
