I was tossed between four or five stars. Not only was the food delicious, but the atmosphere was…read moreinviting and comfortable, the service was excellent, and I'm hoping others will also discover this off the beaten path location so that it continues as a successful restaurant. We had 6pm reservations for a party of four, arrived about ten minutes early and were seated immediately. The other couple in our party had previously been here and were curious if what they ordered then would be on the menu again. Apparently, the menu is updated weekly. Starting out with cocktails, I know everyone was happy with what they were served. I certainly enjoyed my pint of Coffee Stout, and my wife was pleased with the lavender non-alcoholic cocktail they concocted for her. Because the servings being delivered to other tables appeared to be quite large, we decided to pass on appetizers, in spite of some of the apps sounding rather unique, e.g., Crispy Deviled Eggs, Open Faced Fried Pork Wantons, and Fried Carbonara. My wife was tossed between a Beet Salad with Scallops and the Pistachio Encrusted Chilean Sea Bass. At our server's recommendation she chose the Sea Bass. It was served with corn puree, confit potatoes (which my wife especially enjoyed), and roasted tomatoes. I'll get to enjoy the leftovers. I was trying to make up my mind between the Duck Pot Pie and the Chestnut Mushroom & Boursin Stuffed Tomahawk Pork Chop when our sever alerted us that there were only two servings left of the Pork Chop. I promptly claimed one of them! I am so glad I did. It was an amazingly delicious and well prepared dish. The pork had a slight pinkish color, just as I like it, the meat was so tender and flavorful, the stuffing had a crisped surface from the oven or salamander, everything was wrapped in tasty pancetta, the smashed potatoes were creamy and delicious, a white wine truffle sauce added another level of flavor, and even the carrot spears had the right level of firmness. I can affirm that my leftovers were equally enjoyable. We were not as lucky in having advance notice of the limited availability of a limoncello pie dessert, so my wife and I shared a slice of Banana Cookie Dough Pie. OMG! That was sooooo delicious. It was light, creamy, and not overly sweet. A real treat with the good coffee they serve. That pie along with something from their Lighter Menu, like a burger, would send you home in ecstasy without putting much of a dent in your wallet. Our bill for the party of four having one round of drinks, entrees, and desserts was about $250. Taking the whole dining experience into account, it was a very fair value. But wait! I have more to share with you. On Saturday nights live entertainment is provided by an excellent keyboard player adding to the inviting dinner experience and atmosphere. Great live, unobtrusive, background music is always a plus at dinner. Got a request? Art Mozeik will likely oblige. Even if you'd like to hear a song on an accordion instead of his keyboard. Find your way to Broadalbin, N.Y. for dinner. You won't be disappointed.

My FAVORITE restaurant in Broadalbin, NY offering high quality cuisine that compares to, or is…read morebetter than what I have experienced at high end restaurants in NJ, NY and several other states during my domestic travels. Living a portion of my time in Gloversville NY, it pleases me to have found an upscale restaurant that fits my personality and style. I like elegance, good food, great classy drinks and a NYC feel ambiance. I absolutely love the Saturday entertainment (Art) and the fact that the lead chef and sous chef make it a point to come out and greet the guests when able. This high end restaurant offers high end meats, and seafood products that are exceptionally prepared for a fraction of the price compared to high end restaurants in NJ and NY. My husband, our friends new to the area and I absolutely love and recommend Stacey's Stacy's Scratch Kitchen

Especially liked being able to open the windows and feeling the fresh air and breezes after stays in hermetically sealed hotel rooms. Although we didn't get a chance to check it out, the bar looks great and by all accounts, the food is very good. Dave, the Owner, was very helpful at checkin, explaining how to use the A/C unit, access code for after hours and WiFi code. Having grown up in the area, the highest complement I can give is the stay reminded me of being at my Mother's house in the past...comfy and cozy as she used to say.

We were passing through town and this place was recommended to us. Our initial encounter with the…read morelady who sat us was very unpleasant. First she asked us if we had reservations and we said no, she then asked us how many in our party and I told her five and she sarcastically said, "and you don't have reservations". She acted bothered and then said well we can sit you in the back. She proceeded to walk us to the back and she begrudgingly said well I have to set up a table for you. Thank goodness our server, Angie, quickly came to offer assistance. She had a smile on her face and was very friendly. When you first walk in, you are in the tavern. They had live music at 6:00 and most of the tables were reserved. And now the good part!! The food was very good. Angie advised us of the specials of the day. We ordered one of the specials which was a generous portion of Haddock stuffed with shrimp and crab. It was cooked to perfection and had just the right amount of flavor. It was served atop a bed of rice with a cream sauce and cooked spinach on the side. It came with a salad and a role. We also ordered the salmon and that was also cooked perfectly and was delicious. We were provided excellent service by Angie.

Staff was on it like sunscreen on a bald guy -- fast, friendly, and always smiling, even in the heat. The food? Classic bar fare with a little extra zip. Wings, burgers, wraps -- all hit the spot after a long day pretending the boat isn't low on gas. Nothing fancy, just good, satisfying lake eats. Perfect for when you've been in the sun all day and your diet went overboard hours ago. Now let's talk drinks: Their beer list is huge, and if you know what's good for you, order the GSL Juice -- an IPA that's only found at Lanzi's and tastes like summer in a glass. Cold, hoppy, and smoother than your uncle's boat docking attempt (and that's saying something). You can't leave without having at least one... or three. The vibe? Laid-back, dog-friendly, and always buzzing in the best way. You've got indoor and outdoor seating, live music some nights, and always someone in flip-flops dancing like they're at a Jimmy Buffett concert. You know who you are, and we love you for it. This place is a staple on Great Sacandaga. Whether you're boating in, driving over, or just coming to watch the sunset and eat something fried -- Lanzi's is always a good time. Plenty of dock space, cold drinks, good food, and that sweet summertime energy that makes you forget what day it is. If that's not a 5-star lake day, I don't know what is.

Most visits, my husband and I grab seats at the bar , but this time we brought my brother and sister-in-law along for dinner, and it was fantastic from start to finish! The service, as always, was warm, friendly, and welcoming. Our food came out at just the right pace--never rushed and never a long wait. We were seated almost immediately, but to be fair... we also showed up very early. Here's what we ordered: Two of us had the surf & turf special. My brother-in-law ordered the prime rib sandwich. And my husband tackled the 32-ounce prime rib! He said it was, hands down, the best prime rib he's ever had anywhere! Everything was cooked perfectly, portions were generous, and the prices were incredibly reasonable. Whether you're looking for a quick bite , a casual date night , a family dinner ‍‍‍, or a place to celebrate a special occasion , the Raindancer is a wonderful choice. We'll definitely be back... again and again! Highly recommend!
