Each time I go I love all or love some of the courses. None are bad or mediocre-its just that I am stretching my tastebuds by attending lunches with cuisines which I am not familiar with, Desserts are always excellent, especially walnut cake which is delicious and humungous The first lunch I went to had duck moulard. This was delicious and the portion was enough for an entree although it was the appetizer. The pasta with butternut squash was one o the best pastas I have had and I have visited Italy numerous times. Loved the corn soup from Puerto Rico which was a surprise but I did not love tortilla corn soup the following week; however the lamb was great as was the dessert. Husband had a salad as an appetizer that was huge. I will definitely try as many lunches as I can get reservations for, '

About the restaurant

Global whole food to feed omnivores & herbivores with a zero & full proof bar

IL FARO means "The Lighthouse." We envisioned being just that: a beacon in the Albany neighborhood, a safe haven from the stresses of everyday life. Strength and serenity. Creating food that please all of the senses. We believe food should look beautiful, smell amazing and taste delicious. We know that dining out is more than just a meal; it's a great new glass of wine, a much needed break from work, a romantic evening with promise, a perfectly mixed cocktail and a memorable meal that you will crave.

The atmosphere is very cozy. The food is always consistently good - the pear and arugula flatbread and the angus burger are highlights. The espresso martini and maple old fashioned were excellent.

5 stars all around! We hesitated to visit Athos, one of our favorites, after the original owner sold and we're sorry we waited so long, it was wonderful! We were greeted cheerfully, our server was very pleasant, accommodating and attentive and did a great job on his first day. We were celebrating our daughter's birthday and the food was delicious from start to finish. The pita was warm and fresh and accompaniments tasty. Feta plate, greek salad and lemon chicken soup fresh and delicious. Mains of grilled salmon and lamb kebab with rice and greek potatoes also perfect. Highly recommend, and we can't wait to go back! Clean, delicious fresh food, and excellent service...

About the restaurant

Chef John LaPosta has had a long and exciting career path which has landed him in the restaurant of his dreams. Along with his partner, Tina Kruger, he has created a wonderful American Gastropub full of great energy, fine hospitality, and of course, outstanding food.

It is his passion for excellence, beaming hospitality and tireless work that have been the hallmarks of John's 30+ years as one of the Capital Region’s most popular chefs. He is known for his outstanding food that he serves to "real" people in a fun and unassuming style. His simple philosophy has always been "put the love on plate." In doing this, people feel comfortable when reading his menus and do not feel as if they need to be a chef themselves to understand it. Inspired food and service in an unassuming manner with outstanding hospitality!

About the restaurant

dp An American Brasserie, is a signature restaurant by Dominick Purnomo. It offers a menu of imaginative and inventive cuisine, a dozen small plates, traditional favorites and signature menu items.

At just under 2000 sq ft with 18 foot ceilings and an abundance of natural lighting from six oversized windows, dp is a room that demands attention. Our dining room offers a mix of table & banquette seating in a decidedly more casual atmosphere than Yono’s.

We pride our beverage program on fresh, seasonally inspired cocktails, & by the glass wine program, ever-changing, that rivals any in the region. Guests are also invited to peruse the 1,000 selection Wine Spectator “Best of Award of Excellence” winning Yono’s wine list.
