   This was our second visit. We had a very nice brunch again. Good service and food. Would recommend for anyone visiting Saratoga.

   Despite making a booking several months ago, we were told a table was not available for 30 minutes. We appreciated the offer of a free drink but we had booked the dinner for a specific time because we had other plans. We were given the option of sitting outside which was cold, especially without a coat but the lovely waiter made up for the negative experience. She was amazing.

   The food was good, but the menu until 4:00pm is Brunch Only and we wanted Lunch, so rather than leave and go to another restaurant, we opted to compromise on what we really wanted.

   Our waiter was lovely. He was friendly and professional. He made excellent suggestions regarding cocktails. The watermelon Marguerita was sublime. We shared Brussels sprouts, fried ravioli and truffle fries to start. All we good . I especially enjoyed the crunch sprouts. My son and husband found the merc burger amazing. The salmon was good a little dry but acceptable. I’m sure we will return

   Where to start. We were seated and left alone for a good 10 minutes. The waitress showed up, brought water & took our order. My husband ordered a drink from the bar, & we ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees & 1 side dish. She said she would bring a bread basket. Saw her bring to other tables-not us. We waited & waited & apps came out-they were meh. Still no bar drink. We told her and she was like "oops" It finally showed up-in the wrong type of glass for the drink type. Then dinner finally showed up. Another server brought it. Again food was meh to below average. No side dish was delivered. Our server never came to ask how everything was going. Finally I flagged her down to tell her the side never came. Another 'OOPS". We finished as much as we cared to eat. She then brought the side. I looked at her & said 'we are finished & we no longer want it". No "oops or sorry" Next thing she drops the check off without seeing if we wanted dessert! And no, it was not overly busy. I was looking forward to eating there. The vibe looked fun & the online pictures looked delish. False advertising at its best.

    A nice place for a relaxed brunch. It is crowded around and background noise level was high. That said, we enjoyed conversation at a table. Foods and services are good. It’s apparent waiters pay good attention to the table and accommodated our asks.
