    Pork Saltimbocca
    Lori G.

    My husband and I returned to Chez Pierre for a much-needed date night after a busy work week for me. I want to add a few things to my previous review. Gone is the pate they used to serve with their bread basket. OK, I understand that the cost of food has gone up but I surely missed it. The bread in the bread basket was still cold (as mentioned before) and really should have been served warm in a fine dining restaurant. Just sayin'. I hope the owner is listening this time. This restaurant is the only place in our area where I have found truly authentic French cuisine. It's not right in town (which means I don't think about it often) but that is actually an attraction as parking in Saratoga Springs has become a real challenge. Chez Pierre, being north of town and away from the maddening crowds, has their own parking lot. I went full French with my dinner choices starting with Frogs Legs which were nothing short of delectable. And the Sweetbreads that followed were superb. While I am an avid cook, these are items that I would not think to venture making at home, and I can say without reservation that I would not be able to duplicate the delicious cream sauce that accompanied the Sweetbreads. My husband very much enjoyed his Coquilles St. Jacques appetizer and his Veal Cordon Bleu (they call it something else) entrée. I have to admit, I was sorely disappointed that they were out of Soft-Shell Crabs at 7:30 p.m. on a Friday night. This was my raison d'être for choosing Chez Pierre in the first place. We finished our meal with a lovely Crème Carmel that was light but slightly lacking in vanilla flavor. Perhaps I am being too picky, comparing it to my favorite dessert which is Crème Brûlée. Our server (Katy?) was very, very good. She gets 5 stars in my book. The net-net of this update remains the same. If you want authentic French food, then this is your place. I just wish they would take note of the bread situation, in particular. It might seem 'small' but it is a key note of a fine dining establishment which, otherwise, Chez Pierre checks off the boxes.

    A little background, I've been to this place a couple times, and the food was AMAZING. The Henry steak they serve (filet mignon) is so juicy and perfectly seasoned. The other dishes like their lobster and other steak cuts are just as good. In addition to this the food is WELL worth the price as you get a side salad and side potato's. It wasn't until this Father's Day, that I had a bad experience. The service was VERY slow, (to be fair they were a bit understaffed it seemed and overbooked). Our server was so stressed out and overwhelmed and we waited an hour for our appetizer (a bit of a disappointment too) and an additional 35 minutes for our main course. The Filet Mignon, as usual was great, the duck special as well, but the chateaubriand was under seasoned. So overall I would give the food a 4/5 this time. (Usually a 5/5) but the wait was just unbearable. Unfortunately this Experience is taking away from a better review. So in conclusion, I recommend this restaurant but if you catch them on a bad night; it'll be a bad experience.

    What's with the one- and two-star reviews?? It is a good thing I don't let Yelp reviews dictate my dining choices. This place is just outside Saratoga NY which leads me to believe people go in during the track season with very high expectations. A seasonal rush in a small restaurant will surely yield disappointment if you are expecting a flawless experience. That said, we were pleased to have found a restaurant with a menu that intrigued us within a reasonable drive from the house. So we went... and loved it! It's a house-like storefront set up that you would find in a rural upstate establishment. Charming. The décor is slightly dated. Neat murals and nicely painted dividers broke up the dining area. The tables were spaced per the pandemic expectations with interesting bourbon steins placed on the socially distanced tables not available for seating. The ceiling was due to be updated soon. The bar was underutilized as most are these days. We were seated after maneuvering several 'watch-your-step' moments as we walked to our table. The water glasses were filled, and a plate of pate was placed with a basket of bread and crackers. What an unexpected treat to enjoy as we looked through the menu. We had researched before we made reservations, so we were pretty much decided even without the menu. The cocktails we ordered arrived promptly prepared as expected. A plate of bacon wrapped scallops were enjoyed as we finalized our entrée choices, as well as a second basket of 'vessels' for the remaining pate on the table. My wife ordered a Pork Tenderloin Scallopini which was on the dinner special menu. Tender, well prepared medallions served with potatoes au-gratin and greens. I was on a mission to have Beef Wellington and ordered accordingly. We tried to make this at home and needed to have a reference to gauge our effort. The beef tenderloin was nicely seared and capped with a mushroom duxelle as well as a few generous slices before being wrapped in puff pastry. Served with very rich meddra sauce. We made a valiant effort at home, but this particular Wellington was perfectly executed. Chocolate Mousse ended the meal with a decaf cappuccino. The bill was right where we expected. Fantastic! I know we are all entitled to our opinions, but I really think some Yelpers use this forum simply to vent frustration. I like to share positive experiences especially when we can promote small local establishments. Chez Pierre has been here for a while and we hope they will be there for many years to come. We will be back!

    We went for thanksgiving dinner , the food was awesome the waiter very attentive and knowledgeable , definitely return and let friends and family know about our experience,

    Profiteroles. Delectable
    Kim F.

    Everything was amazing starting to finish. We came here for restaurant week and we haven't been here since Mother's Day. Had the French onion soup(so good) and the steak tip Diane. Wow, the sauce from this dish, I could've drank it. I will definitely be coming back to order that steak Diane dish. We finished with the chocolate mousse which was so light almost like it was whipped cream and the profiteroles. Have to order the profiteroles every time I come here since it's like a light and fluffy pasty with ice cream in the middle. Amazing dining experience and hopefully we will be back soon.

    Swordfish and veal soooo good

    What a delightful surprise! A couple of foodie friends and I decided to check out a couple spots in…read moreSaratoga and we landed on a new spot, Familiar Creature. We had read that it was the same people who run Hamlet and Ghost, so we wanted to check it out. The inside is gorgeous, bright and welcoming. Very cute wine bar vibes with excellent cocktails and a small, but mighty, menu. All of our cocktails were gorgeous and well crafted, even some great mocktails. The menu is Montreal inspired, which we noticed immediately, and loved. We just wanted to split a couple things to try, so we ordered the poutine with duck confit and the steak tartare. The Poutine was fabulous! They ultra crispy house made fries had such good flavor on their own, but were made incredible with the gravy, melty cheese curds and decadent duck. This dish was amazing. The steak tartare was also very good and fresh, the house made chips were also killer. Last but not least, the maple soft serve. Heavenly! Ultra creamy and smooth with a great depth of maple flavor. The caramel swirl and crunchy nibs on the top were so good. I am not a big sweets person, but I would order this again for sure. Delicious. This is a hidden gem and surprised us all! I can't believe I haven't heard more about this place. 10/10 recommend.

First, I gotta say that parking was a bear. There is a small lot behind where there is an entry direct to the bar area. That lot was full and spaces that were open were marked for other business and threats of being towed, same with the adjoining lot. We did find a spot about 150 yards away in the street. We sat at the bar area (because the dining room was full with reservations for lunch?!?) which was in a bright open room filled with wine by the bottle for sale. All wine is bottled by Thirsty Owl Vinyards, beer on tap is local beer and alcohol is NYS distilled. We were immediately attended to. Every bottle for sale is also sold by the glass and the bartenders will tell you about the wine and its characteristics- very knowledgeable! (husband and wife owners perhaps?) Chardonnay was decent as was the German white. I would stick with semi sweet or sweet. A good hint- most people were drinking the Sangria. I had the burger and chose the pumpkin soup and both were great! Wife had the vegetarian flatbread, which was a little bland. Could have used more balsamic vinaigrette. Local beer was very good. If you're a serious oenophile, you'll know about NYS wine, so this might not be the greatest place for you. That being said this is a very nice place, service is top notch attentive and knowledgeable. If you favor local NY wine, beer and spirits, this place is for you! 2 lunch entree specials, two glasses of wine ($10 & 11) and two beers was $72 ($30 of that was food) before tip. Enjoy!

The food that we tried was very good: -the chips with crème fraîche were very nice, but I don't know that I would go out of my way for these again. I really enjoyed the chips themselves... very thin and light ...and quite salty (in a good way). A little bit of fish roe is mixed in for "extra saltiness" and a little bit of a fishy experience in the crème fraîche. -Brussel sprouts for me were the winner! Absolutely delicious and we added some chicken so that we'd have a little bit of protein. Grilled chicken was perfectly flavored and not dry at all. Brussels sprouts had just the right amount of char and umami. -flatbread was honestly my least favorite. We stuck with the basic burrata/Margherita pizza/flatbread, and after eating the brussels sprouts it just didn't hold up in terms of flavor.
