    Mac and cheese, lamb ragu, swordfish
    Letia C.

    Heard nothing but great things about Finn's. Honestly all the great things were true. They have a different menu every week, which is cool! Sundays they offer chicken parm (not on the menu). From this week's menu I ordered the smoked mackerel dip (divine!), fried plantains (yummy), Mac n cheese, lamb ragu (so good), and swordfish which was definitely my fave! If you happen to come here when the mackerel dip and plantains are on the menu, try them together! I'm telling you it's like magic in a bite, the mix of the saltiness with the sweetness and spice the best pairing I've had in a while! The service was good just a tad slow, the servers were friendly. The ambience is nice love that it's a converted garage!

    The food is so delicious. I've never had a bad meal here. Everything is so fresh and the menu changes seasonally. The pastas are amazing and the cocktails are so good. The service is friendly and attentive. The ambience is very nice for a date or going out with friends. Love this little spot it's one of best places to eat in Troy!!

    A pretty cool place for dinner and drinks with friends! Like a little warehouse with a bar and menu that switches every week. My friends and I really enjoyed our drinks, the banana bread espresso martini was delicious. Their menu is also creative and the roasted potatoes were so yummy. The chicken was also done nicely for my salad. I will say their dishes are definitely on the saltier side however. Our server was super nice and everything came out timely.

    This was a very good experience overall. Our server was very upbeat, friendly and filled with recommendations/knowledge of the menu. Unfortunately, the service was on the slow side and water refills were not occurring unless requested. The standout dish was definitely the burrata which was filled with super fresh and complex ingredients. The dry aged burger was delicious too! As a whole, our table didn't love the sauce the plantains were paired with and would have preferred something quite a bit different. The chicken dish washed pretty good overall but not a standout. The ambiance was simple yet sophisticated. This was a very cool place overall.

    Finn's is a hidden gem in Troy--well, maybe not hidden anymore. The pasta is outstanding, but here's the surprise: you need to come for the burger. It's hands-down the best in the area--a perfectly done smash burger with Big Mac-style sauce and crispy, addictive fries, worth every penny (I'm acknowledging that yes, it's a bit pricy, but worth it). The bar is equally impressive: a true cocktail bar serving some of the best Old Fashioneds, margaritas, and creative recipes around, plus the standard Aperol spritzes and one-mixers. Not to mention solid wines, and a great local beer selection. It's the staff that really kills it. They're top notch. Finn's nails it on food, drinks, service, and vibe.

    We recently met up with friends and had dinner here. It exceeded all my expectations and I'm happy to share my thoughts here. If you're not familiar with Troy, don't be put off by the location since it's a bit outside the standard "downtown" district. There is a small parking lot and plenty of street parking. The space itself isn't large, but it's somehow both cozy and eclectic. Our server was funny, helpful and attentive, but in no way intrusive. I wish I could remember her name. The menu has a number of small to medium plates and then a few larger plate options. We split the buratta dish and the buttermilk fried chicken. The buratta was a fascinating mix of flavors and was so delicious we all fought over it (thus no pictures). The chicken (more of a medium-sized sharable plate) was tender breast meat with slightly spicy batter in a verde sauce. As a huge fan of the three best food groups (crispy, savory and spicy), this was my favorite dish. It's more than enough for four to share. Two of my group got the sausage ragu bianco and loved it. I had a bite and the pasta was perfect and the sausage was flavorful without being greasy. I had the mushroom tostadas and they were perfect. The mushrooms were smoky and savory and the tortillas (blue corn) were fresh and didn't even break! Their drink list is interesting and includes some nice mocktails. My only regret is that we didn't leave room for dessert. I cannot say enough good things about our experience and I can't wait to go back (especially in the nice weather when they open the big doors). The last time a new place blew me away like this was when Peck's first opened. Truly worth the visit!

    What a great new spot in Collar City! I had heard about this restaurant from people all over town and on Instagram too. I decided to check it out on a Saturday night and was sat immediately upon arriving. They have a few booths, many high-top tables, and bar seats. Their cocktail menu is pretty impressive! I went with the Spicy Ginger Margarita, which had the perfect amount of heat from the jalapeños. My boyfriend ordered the 13th Album- a non-alcoholic drink with ginger beer, black tea, and citrus. It was a great choice! For our appetizer, we opted for the Shrimp Dumplings in red curry sauce. The portion size was amazing! There were about 6 of them, and the sauce was so creamy. It had a great amount of heat, too. For our entrees. I ordered the Buccatini Amatriciana - a pasta dish served with pork cheek and chilis in a fresh tomato sauce. The portion was massive, and the pasta was so fresh tasting! My boyfriend ordered the fried chicken sandwich, and the Calabrian Chili Honey sauce on it was perfection. The fries were also super tasty and reminiscent of good fast food fries. Overall, Finn's is a great choice for good, elevated eats in a casual but modern environment. The staff are extremely welcoming and attentive. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more things!

    This place is super cute and fun. The food portions were awesome. Only wish the menu was a little bigger.

    Octopus

    Great place. Good food and drinks, okay beer, that part could really use some attention. In my eyes this menu works best to share between a few people, bigger appetizers and entrees. Limited seating but they really have something for everyone. The lamb meatballs were absolutely to die for even for the non lamb lovers, spicy and salty and sweet accompaniments. Octopus I usually always love, served with papas bravas

I loved the Brady Bunch Tacos! 3 nice size toasty tortillas with cheese, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, delicious seasoned beef. I liked that they put the cheese on the bottom because that's exactly how I make mine. The salsa was fresh and delicious and I also got sour cream. I don't know if that was extra. You have to have sour cream with tacos. My friend got a Reuben with onion rings for the side. It came with a nice sized dill pickle. She shared her onion rings and they were very good. They were meaty and crunchy. She said the sandwich was delicious. Between us we had enough leftover to take and feed my nephew who lives nearby and I'm sure didn't mind a surprise drop in from his aunt. As long as you have food right? This place is huge and a popular spot near downtown Troy. I went on a weeknight and it had a pretty good crowd. There are two nice size dining rooms with full bars. They even have live entertainment there sometimes. Our server, who was also the bartender, was amazing. He was excited to talk about this place which neither one of us had ever been to. I've definitely heard about it. He was very professional, nice and attentive. We did not want for anything. It looks like lots of fun is had here. I must go back soon!

Walked across the street from the motel but found that place closed till later afternoon. Looked across the other street and decided to go to Ryan's Wake. Walked in and fell in love with the place and loved it more upon hearing their history, especially about the beautiful bar back. I didn't want to eat too much as the wedding was just a few hours away so I ordered the special mushroom soup and cup of chili while my wife had the world's best Reuben. OMG The mushroom soup was outstanding and fortunately they were out of chili as there's no way my wife could eat that Reuben by herself. It was huge and delicious. Got to know John the bartender very well as well as all the other staff and the owner, Chris who even walked us to our car. What a great place with very special staff and excellent food. Just wish I didn't live over 300 miles away or this would easily become a VERY regular stop. READERS - DON'T MISS IT!

It was darkly lit inside (with pinkish/red lights no less); it was extremely loud to the point that I had trouble understanding what my wife was saying (which might not be the background music!); and the prices were expensive. The entire night they played 1980s New-wave British music which I don't mind, but had it been something I detest I would have lost my mind. We were seated at a tiny table with a small candle which provided some actual heat on the cold winter night. Our server was extremely helpful and though he didn't have all the answers he did offer to go and find out. They have a long menu but it doesn't have a lot of food options on it, with most of the pages devoted to alcohol. They had only one dessert option when we were there. My wife and I both ordered the Hanger Steak with fries, mushroom sauce, and green salad (about $40 each). Hanger steak is my favorite cut and hard to find so I jumped on it. Food came out in about 25 minutes, which is amazing considering how small their kitchen is. The steak was cooked perfectly (they didn't ask how we wanted it), smothered in a lovely mushroom sauce, and covered an ample portion of crispy homemade fries which were so good I would have thought them bagged frozen items. Even the basic salad which was just various types of lettuce was great. They aren't cheap, but they are focusing on "farm to table" and that means quality food at commensurate (fair?) prices. Burgers and chicken sandwiches are $15, so if you want something lighter but still tasty you can go that route. Speaking of light, if you go into the bathroom on the right you will find a cold, dark, tiny room lit solely by a PINK bulb. It feels like being on a spaceship (as if I know what that is like), and after when you leave seeing the main light in the restaurant is very jarring. It was a fun experience but not inexpensive and not one that checks the boxes that I look for in a restaurant. Dark, loud, and cramped might be hip for the young or "save the earth" crowd, but I am too old to give up creature comforts for such things. The food, though expensive, was absolutely outstanding in every way though and I won't forget that steak for a long time.

I would describe it as a business and dive bar that makes craft beers. I made it in for lunch on a weekday. I took a seat at the bar. I was surprised to see the menu was quite extensive. There was a nice selection of soups. I ordered a cup of Greens and Beans along with 5 oz. of Fat Orange Cat Brew Chonky . I liked the beer. The soup was quite good, too. The man seated next to me was eating wings. He was raving about them. He said they were the best in town. I'll have to try them next time. Service is very good. The bartender was a good guy. Very nice and helpful. He said that on football game nights the bar is packed with Bills fans. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Staff was incredibly helpful despite how loud it can get at times and they always were nothing but courteous. The Beer and Cider selection is top notch. As a cider fan I'm glad they have many varieties and hope to see some more brands make an appearance on the menu. The bathroom was clean and well stocked although there is only one bathroom so later in the night it became a bit of a wait. Only other very minor gripes are I wish there was a few more tables because sometimes it's good to just sit down and the sound mixing can be on the loud side for an indoor performance. Other than that this place is very welcoming and provides a great time with friends. Will be sure to return many more times!
