    After trying 605 Smash, I knew I had to check out Restaurant 605. The ambiance was exactly what you'd want in a cozy, pub-style spot--inviting, laid-back, and full of character. The waitress who helped us was super sweet, kind, and patient. We started with the Italian Garbage Bread, and wow--it was so delicious! Perfectly seasoned, cheesy, and crispy. All of my friends loved it. For my main, I went with the Double Don Marco Bacon Bleu 605 Signature Cheeseburger, loaded with Applewood bacon, bleu cheese, balsamic onion jam, garlic aioli, and mixed greens. It was incredibly flavorful, juicy, and perfectly balanced. The double patty was just the right size--thick and satisfying without being overwhelming. One of my friends ordered the triple and quickly regretted not sticking with the double, but hey, if you think you can handle it, go for it! My friends who ordered the Grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Cheddar Bacon Smokehouse, and Chicken Parm Sandwich were all thrilled with their meals. The fries? Also on point. I'd definitely visit Restaurant 605 again--great food, great service, and a laidback atmosphere that makes you want to come back for more!

    French Onion Soup with Puff Pastry

    Always one of our favorite spots to visit when we are in the Albany area. The short rib French onion soup is to die for, the prime rib French dip is unbelievable, and you can never go wrong with one of their burgers! They also make a great dirty martini!

    Cheddar bacon smokehouse burger, a double

    The place looks a lot different today, then when it was Andy's. Very clean, and the service from the bartender/waitress was superb (Halsey) She went on to explain everything we needed to know about the menu and what was recommended by a review from the Times Union. I perused the menu and decided on a burger, a chedder bacon smokehouse, as a double with sweet potato fries. But first, we ordered an app with our option as cauliflower, the general tso's lightly battered and great appetizer. The burger was amazing. My friend ordered the French dip and was very happy.

    Classic Double Cheeseburger
    Hunter C.

    After hearing that Restaurant 605 has some of the best burgers there is, I knew I had to give it a try. With that known, I ordered the classic double cheeseburger with fries. To start, the burger was smash style topped with bacon, secret sauce, and caramelized onions. Knowing that, the burger was absolutely delicious. To explain, the beef had phenomenal flavor and tasted extremely fresh. In addition, the secret sauce was tangy, creamy, and went great with the burger. Also, the caramelized onions were cooked perfectly. Finally, the bun was incredibly fresh and matched perfectly with the burger. This was simply an top notch burger. In the same vein, the fries were very good. To enumerate, the fries were hot, crispy, and seasoned. It felt so good to have good fries instead of generic frozen ones for once. At long last, Restaurant 605 has phenomenal burgers and fries.

    Espresso Martini & Mocktail

    Great meal up in Albany celebrating a friend! This cute little restaurant has a lot of flavor and great staff, especially Susan who helped setup a reservation for our little mini baby shower. We practically had the place to ourselves! The smashburgers were a standout and the "double" was HUGE! They came out piping hot and everyone raved about them. I got the Bacon Bleu and it was everything. My only complaint is it was a little too much bread. I also asked for buffalo sauce on the side which was really good too, and tasted homemade. The real star of our meal though was the Chorizo Queso Fundido Dip with house made tortillas. Our friend said this was a great addition to the area, right across from St. Peter's where she'll be giving birth just next month :)

    This was a lovely chocolate martini espresso. They brew their own espresso.

    This is located across from st peters Hospital, and it's a neighborhood feel more like a grill, but we met the owners, and Bartender was knowledgeable and friendly, taking care of us. I love the unique infusion of chorizo and the menu items. Everyone enjoy their meals and the portions were plentiful. I recommend sharing an appetizer they have several unique ones I will definitely be back and would recommend this establishment.

    605 Cosmo

    What a terrific addition to the neighborhood! Restaurant 605 (that's the address on New Scotland Ave) is in the corner spot previously inhabited by a longtime sports bar. This is a million percent upgrade! The vibe is modern, refined, yet invitingly casual. It is a family run business with phenomenal Chef Gabriel Moya and top notch, friendly, and attentive, staff. The signature 605 Cosmo is absolutely delicious (and one of the best cosmopolitan cocktails I've ever had.). The icy cold pink delight had the perfect sweet/citrus balance. This visit we stopped in just for after work cocktails and appetizers. The Ahi Tuna Poke Nachos. This is a shareable dish with crispy wonton triangles topped with sushi grade ahi tuna, thinly sliced peppers, avocado chunks, with sprinkles of black sesame and drizzled with a sort of plum wasabi sauce. Phenomenal and addictive!

    Located right across from St. Pete's, Restaurant 605 is a newly renovated, family-owned restaurant/bar that is focused on scratch-made "globally-inspired" fare. You'll also find American-style burgers and fries with the bonus that the chef is focused on quality. The specials yesterday were homemade empanadas with chimichurri sauce and a "city style" chopped cheese hoagie (ground beef, American cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce and tomato). We ordered both of those options, baked buffalo honey garlic wings and a side of sweet potato fries. Everything was literally perfect. The empanada was the real deal - not a hint of grease and packed with flavor. I don't eat much beef, but that hoagie was beyond excellent. Regular and sweet potato fries rocked. They provided some honey mustard and Carolina sauce for dipping; I absolutely loved the Carolina sauce. Wings were slightly spicy with a hint of sweetness and the blue cheese dressing was just right. We learned that even the sauces/dips/dressings are homemade. While I desperately tried to finish everything, we ultimately needed a to-go box. There's a great selection of tap beers, cocktails and wine. Staff/owners are super friendly, pleasant and professional. Decor is open, clean and comfortable. There are lots of TV's for viewing sports while enjoying some really good food and choice bevs. Bravo Restaurant 605! I wish them tremendous success and I plan to be back.

    Wonderful potato dish which came with steak special.

    It's been months since we last visited 605. This time, my husband and I decided to start by sharing the Shishito Peppers sautéd with garlic as an appetizer. Wow. That was a taste sensation. There were a lot of peppers in that dish. We couldn't finish them so we took them home. Our server, who was wonderfully helpful, suggested reheating them in an air fryer the next day which is exactly what we did. They were still awesome. I also ordered a Jerk Chicken Sandwich which came with fries. It was good. Slightly spicy. I enjoyed it but I was a bit disappointed. I'm very familiar with Caribbean food and was hoping for a bit more flavor and texture. The fries were wonderfully crispy. The service is good. The decor is nice. The place is clean. I enjoyed watching sports on the numerous tv screens. As I've said before this is not an ordinary sports bar. I can count on getting a good meal. It's located across the street from St.Peter's Hospital. I hope it continues to do well.

    We were at St Peters hospital for the day and starved as expected. We checked out restaurant 605 and we are very glad that we did! The owners are down to earth, appreciative and hard-working people that offer a warm, upscale sports bar space, but also where it's not overcrowded if you wanted to sit at a table with your family. These people definitely know food. We tried a handful of different menu items, and everything was outstanding. I apologize for the lack of photos...we inhaled the food because it was so good. Highland Hollow Farm has THE BEST beef hands down. 605 showcases it with amazing flavor combinations and a deliciously high end product for upscale pub fare. If you haven't been yet, it's worth the price of admission!

    We started with the shishito peppers which were cooked to perfection. The fish sandwich special was amazing. It's a must try when in Albany.

I can put down quite a bit of food so if I order the "three traditional tacos" then I'm usually left wanting just one more... so I typically go for the burrito to try and fill up a bit more. The chorizo is delicious and seasoned very well. The salsa verde that is served with each taco/burrito is also delicious. During winter they put up some "bubble" tents outside with heaters. They don't have much seating inside and if the restaurant is busy then you might be caught in a pickle... but I've been lucky enough to find a free table here reliably. I've been visited by out-of-state friends a few times and I typically introduce them to this restaurant (as one of my local favorites) and they usually love it.

I was so glad to have dinner there recently. Delicioso! My friend ordered the three steak taco dinner while I had the three chicken taco dinner. Then, we traded one. The tacos are served on small corn tortillas. It generally takes more than one taco to feel full. The steak tacos came with wonderful melted cheese and a beef dipping sauce. The chicken tacos came with salsa verde, plenty of cilantro and chopped up red onions. We each had a Margarita which are awesome, too. The staff is small but friendly and efficient. There isn't a lot of seating inside the restaurant. Just a few tables. Most of the seating is actually in the outdoor patio. In cold weather, large clear heated plastic bubbles or igloos are installed on the patio. Each holds a table and enough seating for several people. It's incredibly cute. There's even table service, but most people ordered take out and then walked over to eat in the bubbles. There's also parking on premises which makes the dining experience very convenient. We ate-in and had a blast. I look forward to coming back. They don't take reservations but guests are encouraged to call ahead to ask about seating.

Upon arrival you'll receive complimentary chips and salsa. It was fresh as the chips were warm and I could taste the fresh ingredients in the salsa. We ordered the carne asada and the Baja tacos (and the enchiladas verdes to go based on hot good the food was). The carne asada was fantastic, and it came with rice, beans, and tortillas. The Baja tacos were delicious and came with a super spicy sauce (they did have a lot of onions which was my only drawback). We ended the night with a special strawberry tres leches for Valentine's Day. It's not something I would have typically ordered but I do love tres leches and this did not disappoint - it was amazing. All in all excellent food you'll be glad you came for the food! A few other notes- the inside of the restaurant is pretty and draws on what I've seen in other Mexican restaurants. Staff were so friendly and had the perfect balance of checking in with us to letting us eat our meal. There is a small bar area that is separate from the dining area. Street parking only but there seemed to be plenty of spots. However, I would try to park as close as possible to the restaurant as the neighborhood itself didn't seem like the greatest. We had no issues during our experience but just something to consider. Overall I really liked this place and will definitely return!
