My Place in Schodack was recommended by a friend. I always thought it was a diner. The staff tells…read moreme it's not. It's a neighborhood restaurant and it's far larger than I thought. The bar is attractive. It's the first thing you see when you come in and it was very busy. There's also a good size dining area with more than a dozen tables. On this particular day all of the tables were occupied by 1pm and there was a line of would-be diners waiting to be seated. It was a Friday and the sun was shining brightly. The arctic blast that we had been experiencing finally broke. This was first milder winter day in a long time. It seems the good weather brought out the crowds. The staff admitted they were a bit surprised by the turnout. I understand why the community is drawn to this place. Both the decor and the staff are so cheerful. I ordered a fully dressed hamburger, onions and etc. I also had coleslaw and macaroni salad. It was all great except that my medium well done burger was a bit more charred than I would have liked. I would take off a half point for that, but kudos to the kitchen and the entire staff for making it through the onslaught of customers without appearing to break a sweat. I'd like to return another day when things are a bit less busy. I'm pretty sure the burgers will be perfect then.

All staff we encountered were pleasant and the place, including the bathrooms, was clean. My party all enjoyed our food which included kids chicken tenders and fries, nachos, mild chicken wings, a turkey club with coleslaw and a burger with bacon and cheese and fries. The food came out quickly. It was tasty and most of us had plenty of leftovers to bring home for later. I would absolutely return for the nice outdoor ambience!

I had never been to Waterford, and my sister had been to this restaurant before and had fond memories. We were chastised a bit by the waitress, apparently we sat at a table that wasn't convenient, although there were only two tables occupied. I ordered the salad with grilled chicken and apples, with the poppyseed dressing, and my sister ordered the Big Salad. Wow, that salads could not have been prettier! The chef took such pride in the presentation and flavor of the food!! I would have given this place a five star review if the waitress had shown us more hospitality. There was ample parking in the lot on site and it was convenient to walk to from the Peeples Island Bridge.

After about 15-20 minutes we finally received our drinks and we then placed an order for food. My wife ordered a cocktail that was strawberry/banana and that was fine. However, the cocktail my coworker ordered looked disgusting and tasted mid. While I don't recall the name of the cocktail they ordered I believe it had blue curacao and pineapple. Regardless of the ingredients, I don't understand why the bartender allowed a drink that resembled dirty dish water to be served in a clear cup. After finishing our drinks, we waited nearly 45 minutes for our food to be served. I found the long wait to be inexcusable. The restaurant and bar were not crowded and a family that arrived long after we did was served their food long before us. I ordered a double cheeseburger, mozzarella sticks tossed in hot garlic Parm, medium boneless wings, and an order of French fries. The food left a lot to be desired. The hamburger patties had the taste and consistency of the cheap, frozen patties you buy in a store. The mozzarella sticks were similar. The French fries were unsalted and tasted stale. The boneless wings were spicy, as I ordered. But the sauce tasted like it had BBQ sauce added and the meat wasn't delicious. I won't even discuss the "Melba" sauce I ordered with my mozz sticks. My Place did not live up to the hype for us and we will not be returning. Our server was polite and got tipped well due to that. But between the long wait and abysmal food, I'll be taking my money elsewhere.

Our second visit here 11/15/25 for dinner & drinks. Sat at the bar & were greeted by Melissa, Kathy's daughter, who brought us drinks & menus on this busy Saturday evening. Draft beers $6.75 & wines $6.25, full bar service available. Dinners were baked haddock fillet topped with a panko parmesan crust, and drizzled with a lemon-dill aioli. Served with rice pilaf and mixed vegetables. ($27) - Delish! And a chicken tender app - three very large chicken tenders with spicy garlic parm sauce (choice of 10 wing/tenders sauces - ($15). Cosy neighborhood favorite tavern. The bar is friendly & fun. Bar with hightops, big front dining room, and rear dining room that can be reserved for parties. Plenty of parking in their rear lot & street parking. Hours: Wed-Sun 4-9:30pm. Thanks to "Captain" Kathy, Melissa, & the crew. We will be back Nick & Liz, Albany, NY USA

This restaurant is everything I don't really like, but I still had a good time. We arrived after…read moremaking reservations the day of on a Saturday evening at 7:45PM. 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.

The lack of flavor and basic presentation was over compensated by portion. The gnocchi was not warm with a small amount of sauce buried at the bottom of the bowl. The pancetta overcooked and the overall dish lacked flavor. The second item was a massive chicken cutlets sandwich. This was similar with no flavor despite the pesto. The only dish that was not boring and very delicious was the carrot cake, likely from a separate bakery. I wasnt drinking that evening but the draft list contained some exceptional breweries. The server was 5 stars and the rating does not reflect his craft. This maybe a place for beer rather than dinner.
