    Chez Nous - Gumbo soup

    Really cute spot! I love French cuisine and was always interested in checking this spot out. There…read moreare a few French inspired dishes, but it doesn't seem to be their focus. The menu is huge and full of some classic dishes. They have a full bar so we started off with some drinks, I just went with wine today but my sister enjoyed an espresso martini. We were also brought out some fresh bread and butter and I may have over indulged. I knew I wanted to try the lobster bisque - a favorite of mine. It was served with a fried lobster ravioli on top. The soup was delicious and had an excellent depth of flavor, but I did find the ravioli to be a bit flavorless. I would order this again, or even try the New England chowder too. The entrees come with salad as well, they were bright and fresh and the dressings were great. Honestly, we both were so full by the time the entrees came, we barely touched them, but definitely took them home. The entree portions were huge. I ordered the Veal Milanese. The veal was pretty good, not as tender as I would usually expect, but it had good flavor. I love arugula too. The risotto was a miss for me, it seemed to be loaded with dried oregano, which didn't match the flavor profiles of the main entree and took away from the dish. This is a cute little hidden gem and with a menu that big, I wouldn't hesitate to return. Service was great and the ambiance is super homey.

    It's been a few years since I've been to Chez Nous. It first opened in 2015 under different owners,…read moreproviding a high end French country experience, complete with deliciously authentic food and snooty staff. It closed in 2019 before the pandemic, and reopened in 2022 under new ownership with a French-Italian inspired menu, with a dash of Cajun cuisine mixed in. My first couple experiences since it reopened were good, but a little confusing. The Italian and Cajun inspired dishes threw me off, mostly because I didn't understand the concept. I also popped by during Schenectady's first Tater Trot, where they made a delicious little potato puff, with a potato chip wedged on the top -- adorable and yummy. But last night my partner and I made reservations to try something new and really sit down for a good meal there -- we were not disappointed. As previously mentioned, the menu features a few different options, including a quick menu for Theater goers for around $50-55. There were four sections that each include a choice between two entrees, a starter salad, fresh warm bread, non-alcohol drink, and two desserts to choose from. The options vary from wild mushroom ravioli, to crab stuffed fish, and there was a gluten free and vegetarian options. The main menu had many other options, so I decided to start with the New England clam chowder, then the Chicken and Wild Mushroom Pappardelle, and ordered the Creme Brulee for dessert. My dish came with a starter salad and there was delicious warm table bread with whipped butter. The clam chowder came first and was delicious. Full of rich creamy flavor, nice chunks of pork, and of course beautifully tasty clams. I got the honey mustard dressing with my side salad and it was great with a subtle mustard taste, and I really appreciated they was they chopped down the cucumbers into small, thin, seedless slices and the tomato was diced into small 1/4 inch cubes, giving them an elegant and enjoyable texture element to an otherwise mundane dressing. The Chicken and Wild Mushroom Pappardelle was fantastic. It had a rich tasty tarragon cream sauce and great umami flavor. The pasta was rustic home made, cooked with perfect texture, and the mushrooms had the perfect bite. Truly an enjoyable dish. Finally, I ended with the Creme Brulee which blew us both away. The last time I had this dessert at a different restaurant, it was overcooked and not pleasant. But this one was flawless in both flavor and texture. Wonderful job! As for the atmosphere, it was just with you would hope. Calm, warm, inviting, and home-y. I believe there was very subtle music playing, and the seating was comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly and hospitable. They were extremely busy, and so we had to wait for a few things, but it wasn't terrible, nor was it through a neglect. They would check in regularly, and apologized for any delays. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back. If you want to go to a French restaurant, but have additional delicious options, Chez Nous is definitely the right place!

    Spending a weekend away in the Lake George / Berkshires area with the hubby and wanted to find…read moresomewhere to try, stopped in after jumping on Yelp to find somewhere close that was cute with decent food. Decided to give a try. The place is a total vibe, dont let the outside and area fool you! It had been a long day by the time we got here, did the outlets all day long and I was coming down with a cold. Ordered a ton of apps, Crab rangoon dip is GOOOOOODDDD!!!!... Ordered Calamari that apparently I didnt get a pic of, but It was good also. I think we got wings, but I truly cant remember. I got the risotto, I didnt love it but the Shrimp were delish, it had a super strong after taste flavor that I didnt love but couldnt truly put my finger on, Hubby said his pasta was good, but just needed "something". Would def go back just not sure how often we'd be in the area. Drink menu was super extensive and they were great as well. Started to feel not well and literally had to take our food to go, the waitress was soo concerned and caring, it was great, and it was no fault of the food or theirs, I think it was just whatever cold I was coming down with that kicked my ass and I felt like I was going to pass out, sorry TMI... But the response was so nice and accommodating from the staff. Def worth a try, just be patient with parking, it was slightly chaotic, or that night we just happened to encounter all the people in the are who couldnt drive in tight spaces, LOL!

    We had a reservation Saturday evening before visiting the Egg. The host was super duper friendly…read moreand he immediatelly brought us to a small two top in the back dining area. The wine by the glass list was limited and fifty percent was vegan. I ordered the Mosen German Reisling which is more sweet than I prefer but there were no other options. My guy ordered a brown beer on tap, i'm unsure the name. We started with appetizers crab rangoon dip with crispy delicious wonton chips. And the second mozzarella eggrolls. I would pass on the eggrolls im the future. The motz is advertised smoked but lacked a smoky flavor. The Harissa had the spice level simular to Heinz ketchup. My entree was a Cuban sandwich that did deliver some heat, well pressed with plenty of pickles. We would love to see a wider wine selection and a turn up on the spice and flavor for the appetizers.

    After our last experience - which was not great - we decided to give this restaurant another try…read more Glad we did. The Hostess was SUPER friendly and she never stopped working - cleaning tables and checking with guests to be sure everything was satisfactory. The waiter, Gregg, was very attentive and friendly. He did a great job The food was terrific! I ordered Pasta Bolognese and it was absolutely the best I have ever had. Magnificent sauce. My wife ordered "street tacos" and they were great. stuffed with wonderful ingredients - including shrimp. This trip as a perfect experience and we shall return. (sorry the pasta photo is not great. It looked so good I ate quite a bit before I remembered to take a photo)

    For context, I rate products and businesses on a simple scale: 5 stars means I love it, 4 stars…read moremeans I like it, 3 stars is okay, 2 stars means I didn't like it, and 1 star means I hated it or think it's unsafe. I've been to Innovo Kitchen in Latham several times over the years and I've enjoyed it every time. They have a unique menu that changes periodically, but I always find something that catches my eye. The interior has an industrial feel which I like, with a lot of exposed brick. The tables are made from old bowling lane wood, which is a really cool touch. When you walk in there is also a bowling pin displayed in a glass case. I remember there being a bowling alley somewhere in that plaza when I was a kid, so it seems likely the building has some history tied to that. The tables are also nice and large, which makes the dining experience more comfortable. Tonight I ordered the Monte Cristo burger which is described as battered Buckley's Bread sourdough, a 6 oz special grind burger, Taylor pork roll, Swiss, and Twin Leaf Farms maple aioli. It was quite tasty and I really enjoyed the hint of maple syrup flavor on the burger. The crinkle cut fries that came with it were also very good. Another person in our party ordered the White Chicken Parmesan, described as a crisp chicken cutlet topped with ricotta and garlic spinach and fresh mozzarella, with garlic parmesan cream and lumache pasta. They said it was delicious. Someone else had the Crispy Skin Salmon and enjoyed that as well. A child at our table ordered macaroni with red sauce. The portion was surprisingly large and they liked it, which is impressive because they are particularly finicky. For dessert we ordered something we've had here several times before, the peanut butter mud pie. It's basically ice cream in pie form with an Oreo cookie crust and chocolate fudge. It's very tasty and also a generous portion. At the end of your meal they also offer everyone at the table a tasty piece of gourmet chocolate. One thing that really stood out tonight was the attentiveness of the management. Two different managers stopped by our table at different times to check and make sure everything was good. I recognized one of them because I've seen him there before and he always seems to make a point of checking in with guests. The other person had seated us so I initially thought she was the hostess, but after she stopped by during the meal I asked if she was a manager and she confirmed that she was. I mentioned that I was impressed that two different managers had checked on us, and that every time I've dined there a manager has stopped by to make sure everything was good. I thanked her and told her it was appreciated. During the summer and fall they also have a very nice patio area for outdoor dining. On cooler nights they have heaters and a fireplace which makes it a great place to sit outside. I will definitely return here again in the future. 5 stars

For appetizers, we ordered the oysters and burrata and prosciutto toast. I did not try the oysters but the others said they were good. I would order the toast again.

For dessert, we shared the bread pudding with salted caramel gelato, burnt basque cheesecake and pear fritters. All three were delicious but the bread pudding was the standout. I highly recommend ordering it. Also have to mention our server Frank who was lovely and very attentive.

They had one of my favorite wines by the bottle (Alto Reale from Sicily) and it was reasonably priced! For food we had oysters and the octopus appetizer. The octopus had a wonderful char and the perfect texture. We ordered the duck and salmon entrees - both cooked and seasoned to perfection. This may be my favorite duck dish I've ever had. And for dessert the bread pudding with salted caramel ice cream was recommended by our server and was excellent. Really just a great dining experience overall'
