I've been in twice to try things, but the timing hasn't been right to sample the evening entrees like pizza.

This is our first place on that recommended list and so far I'd say we agree--It was a great cinnamon roll! I'm definitely glad I didn't get it with the additional icing on top as the glaze they provided was sweet enough for our tastebuds. Don't blink or you'll miss this small Jefferson establishment. We drove right past it the first time. Enjoy!

The reason we were in Albany was for our daughter's college graduation from Oregon State…read moreUniversity, GO BEAVS! Anyways, we had called a few restaurants in the area hoping to get some dinner. This was the only place that said,"Yeah, we can seat you!" So, hubs and I make our way from our roadside motel (Studio 6, review will be posted) to downtown Albany. The parking situation was a little confusing, but we found parking a few blocks from the restaurant. We got a table, yay! The place is pretty cool, it was a bank back in the day. They have a nice limited menu which offers options for all sorts of food preferences. So, our table was full of carnivores, lol. Hubs had the special which was a smoked prime rib, daughter's boyfriend had the Wagyu Brisket burger and my college grad had the filet. I also had the filet. Everything was super tasty! I would totally recommend if you aren't in a hurry. The servers were great.

The service was EXCELLENT as well - Karen waited on me and was very friendly, timely, and helpful for my decision about what I might like to order.

First we arrived 20-30min prior to our reservation. The lady at the front was sooo friendly I was taken back! We asked if we could sit at the bar and get a drink. Of course she said yes. The bar is super cute and I love the hours off-set the restaurant hours so you can enjoy drinks prior to and after dinner. The bar tender was super friendly and you can see he enjoyed his job. The drinks were really good! Our friendly greater came to get us promptly when our table was ready. The table was ready with fresh baked bread and butter. Our waiter was Jessie; what a gem! He was so friendly and helped us with the menu and gave excellent recommendations. We started off with the bar fries (Jessie's recommendation) wow! They were amazing not super heavy and a perfect starter. I had the special which was a NY steak, with Hatch Chili polenta. My steak was perfection and the polenta was delicious. I loved the gravy as well. Superb blend of flavors. We ended the night with the flourless chocolate cake and espresso martini. Fabulous food and honestly some of the friendliest staff I have ever encountered.

The Heavenly Bowl was pretty good but not amazing. I inherently like that kind of meal. I did not appreciate the presence of any sauce in my dish (menu says it has noodle sauce in it). There was some moisture in the bottom of my bowl, from the veggies. But, like I said, I did not pick up on the presence of a sauce and also there was no little container with sauce sent with it. The pic on DoorDash shows a container of sauce. Maybe there was supposed to be one and they just forgot it. The tofu could have been better...it's the version where the block has been cut up into little cubes. No frying, no cornstarch crust, etc. And like someone else said...lots of celery.
