I ordered the fish and chips, probably their number one seller. I'll be honest, it was more beer batter than fish...but I've had worse. The other thing we ordered was the fish taco, also a super popular dish, and that was fine, too. Overall I think the 3 star rating on Yelp is accurate. Not superb but not awful. Good place to order beer and wine and some appetizers and soak in the beautiful view.

Our server Carol was great being friendly and super efficient. For appetizers my partner had the Fresh Shucked Oysters being true to their name while I enjoyed the Soft Burrata, roasted peaches and pecan appetizer that was off the charts good and more than enough for two. Our main courses were the 14oz. French Pork Cut Chop with apple peaches chutney which I highly recommend, it was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. I had the Lobster Frites serve with French fries, an appetizer but big enough for a main course, it was very good if you like fried food. I cant leave out the nice bread basket with good olive oil on the table and the fresh corn on the cob. Oh....how can I leave out their extensive wine list! A must go to restaurant well worth the splurge!

I decided on a spur of the moment reservation for a weeknight dinner. It's been a long harsh winter…read moreand I was looking forward to a cozy meal in a rustic yet old world setting. On the night that I was there, I had the option of ordering from their weekly specials, or their regular menu. Additionally, it was restaurant week so I could choose that menu as well. Wow! With my glass of Malbec we ordered their restaurant week duck cassoulet, grilled shrimp with mango salsa as well as the filet mignon steak frites. Lastly finishing off with a delightful crème brûlée. My tummy was more than satisfied on this cold evening. Service here was wonderful and the staff were attentive without being overly intrusive. The Wishing Well, a local favorite is where you go for an enjoyable evening of fine dining.

We tried the Elody Restaurant for the first time. We were greeted and seated quickly by friendly…read morestaff. Our waitress arrived fairly quickly and was friendly. She got our drinks started and a short time later brought our drinks over. We received some bread before ordering. The bread was good, but a little heavy and could have used just a touch more cook. The presentation of the bread on a board with garlic butter and cinnamon butter smeared on the board was a really nice presentation. While we were waiting to order some appetizers, Larry came over and explained the restaurant to us. He was friendly and personable and it was nice chatting with him. Our waitress came back over and we ordered a Wedge salad and a crab cake to start. We put in our dinner order at the same time. A little while later (about a perfect amount of time) the appetizer and salad arrived. My wife said the crab cake was one of the best she's ever had, and she orders them often at nice restaurants. My wedge salad was excellent. Our waitress came over and got another glass of wine for my wife. I was still working on my wine, but my water glass was about half gone. I moved it to the middle of the table so they could see it to refill it, but it went unfilled for quite a while. After they cleared our plates, we waited for our meal. It took longer than I had hoped for our entrees to arrive. I would estimate close to 35 minutes or more. This was a little too long. I like a little time between my appetizer and entree, but this was too long to wait. My wife got the special which was a 10 oz filet, with a blue cheese sauce on the side (they gave her too much, it could have had 1/4 the size and it would have been enough, which means waste for the kitchen) and it had shrimp and I believe scallops. Her steak was cooked perfect, was a very good size, and she said all her food was very good. I ordered the 16 oz ribeye. Larry had said they custom cut each steak in the kitchen and the sizes were generous from the chef. I noted on their menu that they had listed the cook temperatures along with what the actual temp is. They had rare listed as 125 and medium rare as 135. This is a big range based on my being a steak connoisseur. I don't prefer my steak rare, so I ordered it medium rare. I was expecting a warm red center. When the steak arrived, it was a lot thinner than i had anticipated. I checked the cook with the knife and it looked a little over cooked. I cut into it and to my displeasure, it was overcooked. It was pink on the center and on the outer edges it was brown. I don't like sending food back, so I decided to just eat it. I will say, that even overcooked, the flavor of the steak was excellent. I think their temp range is slightly off based on the writing in the menu and I think the thinner cut had part to do with it overcooking. My baked potato was cooked perfect and the cooked carrots were also cooked just how I like them, a little firm and not mushy. It wasn't until after I was finished with my meal that I had my water glass refilled, which was by Larry, not the waitress or other staff. I don't mind paying good money for a great steak. If your business claims one of their best things is a steak, you gotta do a little better. As far as overcooked steaks that I have eaten, this was one of the better overcooked steak I have eaten, but still overcooked. Overall impressions: the staff were all friendly, the food was very good (next time I will ask for rare + instead of medium rare), the steak was overcooked and the service time was my main drawback to this dining experience. I do believe we will go back. The inside was a really nice modern, clean and relaxing feel. It did get a bit loud while eating, not sure if that was due to larger parties or just the acoustics. Overall I gave this 4 stars.

Makes plenty of leftovers, but it doesn't reheat well since the sauce breaks. The chicken fettuccine alfredo was also good, but not much chicken in it. They give you a quarter of a loaf of bread, which is huge! Calamari was good, they come with the tentacles and the sauce is fantastic. The desserts were the failures. The key lime pie, which I was told was made in house, was incredibly tart. I've had a lot of key lime pie in my life and that was the worst one I've ever had. The creme brûlée was better, but the presentation made it unappealing. The custard was oozing out from under the caramelized top.

How do you screw up a smash burger?…read more You press down until it's crispy. The burger served to me wasn't smashed. I drove from New York City straight to Saratoga Springs. I parked across the street from Morrissey's, the place seems jumping for a Thursday night. I thought it was a good sign so I made my way to the middle table. Once inside I was given a menu but all I want is a good ol American burger. The menu highlights the Dry-Aged Smash Burger. Two smashed patties on a brioche bun, lettuce, tomato and American cheese. Merica! The food comes out in record time. Is that a good thing? The fries? Limp and cold The meat patties? You know it's a smashburger, the chef could have leaned on it more to get it crispy. I just wanted to leave at this point, I was so tired from the drive it wasn't worth the effort to send the dish back. Meh

While I liked the physical ambience of the restaurant, there were an incredible number of houseflies buzzing around the restaurant, our booth and our plates. Our guests were literally waving their hands continually through the meal to keep the bugs off their food. The service was weak. Even though the restaurant was mostly empty, the waitress was slow to approach the table and check back on how we were doing. She spent a lot of time chitchatting with the bartender. Basic things like delivering an order of one of the house hot teas without honey lemon or teaspoon. I had to request each of them. The food itself was hit and miss. Two of us had the fish and chips with the house special tater tots. The fish was OK, although nothing special. The tater tots were actually a disappointment. They were powdery and dry on the inside and had an unpleasant texture in general. The other two guests ordered the BLT sandwich and the chicken pesto sandwich. No big complaints, but no big compliments either. All in all, a swing and a miss and we probably won't return given the other great choices in Saratoga Springs.
