We had heard about Lago and I wanted to see the lake so we popped in about 2pm. The place was serving a nice lunch crowd, but we didn't have to wait and were quickly sat at an inside table that was on the edge that looked onto the patio/lake. With the drizzly nature, no one was sitting outside so we had a clear view. Service was great and "on top of it." We ordered and thought we'd have to wait a bit and were settling in to just enjoy the lake vibes when a few minutes later our food came out. Quick and efficient! They have a good beer selection... a little something of everything... and lots of fun cocktails to choose from should you wish to indulge. Their food selection was good... leans towards burgers, sandwiches and pizzas. They do have gluten free buns and pizza crust too. Great place for a casual dinner out with great lake vibes! Not far from the town of Saratoga Springs... maybe 15 minutes depending .... I can see how this place is popular!

Especially liked being able to open the windows and feeling the fresh air and breezes after stays in hermetically sealed hotel rooms. Although we didn't get a chance to check it out, the bar looks great and by all accounts, the food is very good. Dave, the Owner, was very helpful at checkin, explaining how to use the A/C unit, access code for after hours and WiFi code. Having grown up in the area, the highest complement I can give is the stay reminded me of being at my Mother's house in the past...comfy and cozy as she used to say.

We were passing through town and this place was recommended to us. Our initial encounter with the…read morelady who sat us was very unpleasant. First she asked us if we had reservations and we said no, she then asked us how many in our party and I told her five and she sarcastically said, "and you don't have reservations". She acted bothered and then said well we can sit you in the back. She proceeded to walk us to the back and she begrudgingly said well I have to set up a table for you. Thank goodness our server, Angie, quickly came to offer assistance. She had a smile on her face and was very friendly. When you first walk in, you are in the tavern. They had live music at 6:00 and most of the tables were reserved. And now the good part!! The food was very good. Angie advised us of the specials of the day. We ordered one of the specials which was a generous portion of Haddock stuffed with shrimp and crab. It was cooked to perfection and had just the right amount of flavor. It was served atop a bed of rice with a cream sauce and cooked spinach on the side. It came with a salad and a role. We also ordered the salmon and that was also cooked perfectly and was delicious. We were provided excellent service by Angie.

I told the bartender that I ordered she said okay give me one minute your food is here but I need to take a order . I was waiting about 10 mins before the hostess came back and try to figure out where was my order. I thought that was a bit ridiculous. Next everything was correct with our order but I was wondering where was the salsa and the sour cream for my chicken queso that I ordered or if it did or did not come with it , not reallt sure? The chicken didnt really have any flavor to it. Next we deicded to order the homemade chili and it wasnt what I was expecting it tasted a bit werid.

We had 6pm reservations for a party of four, arrived about ten minutes early and were seated immediately. The other couple in our party had previously been here and were curious if what they ordered then would be on the menu again. Apparently, the menu is updated weekly. Starting out with cocktails, I know everyone was happy with what they were served. I certainly enjoyed my pint of Coffee Stout, and my wife was pleased with the lavender non-alcoholic cocktail they concocted for her. Because the servings being delivered to other tables appeared to be quite large, we decided to pass on appetizers, in spite of some of the apps sounding rather unique, e.g., Crispy Deviled Eggs, Open Faced Fried Pork Wantons, and Fried Carbonara. My wife was tossed between a Beet Salad with Scallops and the Pistachio Encrusted Chilean Sea Bass. At our server's recommendation she chose the Sea Bass. It was served with corn puree, confit potatoes (which my wife especially enjoyed), and roasted tomatoes. I'll get to enjoy the leftovers. I was trying to make up my mind between the Duck Pot Pie and the Chestnut Mushroom & Boursin Stuffed Tomahawk Pork Chop when our sever alerted us that there were only two servings left of the Pork Chop. I promptly claimed one of them! I am so glad I did. It was an amazingly delicious and well prepared dish. The pork had a slight pinkish color, just as I like it, the meat was so tender and flavorful, the stuffing had a crisped surface from the oven or salamander, everything was wrapped in tasty pancetta, the smashed potatoes were creamy and delicious, a white wine truffle sauce added another level of flavor, and even the carrot spears had the right level of firmness. I can affirm that my leftovers were equally enjoyable. We were not as lucky in having advance notice of the limited availability of a limoncello pie dessert, so my wife and I shared a slice of Banana Cookie Dough Pie. OMG! That was sooooo delicious. It was light, creamy, and not overly sweet. A real treat with the good coffee they serve. That pie along with something from their Lighter Menu, like a burger, would send you home in ecstasy without putting much of a dent in your wallet. Our bill for the party of four having one round of drinks, entrees, and desserts was about $250. Taking the whole dining experience into account, it was a very fair value. But wait! I have more to share with you. On Saturday nights live entertainment is provided by an excellent keyboard player adding to the inviting dinner experience and atmosphere. Great live, unobtrusive, background music is always a plus at dinner. Got a request? Art Mozeik will likely oblige. Even if you'd like to hear a song on an accordion instead of his keyboard. Find your way to Broadalbin, N.Y. for dinner. You won't be disappointed.

I have frequently visited Standard Fare over the past few months (for brunch, dinner, and tasting…read moremeals) so this review is long overdue. First of all, it is small inside, which I love. It's a more intimate type setting great for couples, girlfriends or family. The vibe cannot be explained but should be experienced. We have always been greeted with a smile when walking in the door and the staff is welcoming, attentive and friendly. The cocktails are phenomenal, and there are always stellar wine choices on the menu. Recently, they have begun to do "off-menu" tasting events (every other Sunday) where the chef chooses a selection of courses that you are surprised with upon arrival. The food has been nothing short of phenomenal, incredibly creative and memorable. They also offer a wine pairing with these meals which takes out a lot of guesswork for us wine newbies in trying to figure out what wine to pair with each course. Definitely a breath of fresh air in Saratoga, something different but absolutely worth every penny!

With the world and life being so crazy, it's nice to be able to enjoy a night out. The second I…read morewalked into Standard Fare, I felt the ability to relax. The service was fantastic. We were always being checked on . My friend and I even got to chat for a few minutes with the owners. For the food, I love the combination of comfort food and fine dining.

Would definitely order this myself Parmesan Truffle Fries- crispy fries with Parmesan. Can't go wrong and a big portion for a side dish. Charred artichoke- so tender and perfectly paired with tzatziki sauce. Cocktails: Espresso Martini Citrus Got Real

We've been for both lunch and dinner here and haven't been disappointed by our overall meals, but usually there's one or two things that just didn't go right. Today, we stopped in for lunch. I ordered a Caesar salad, my Nana got the crab cakes, and my Poppi order the specialty wrap, a salmon one that promptly fell apart out the bottom when he picked up the first half of the wrap. He ended up eating it with a fork and knife. My salad was well dressed and the croutons were tasty, a nice seasoned brown bread. My Nana's crab cakes were good, but she didn't care for the mixed greens they were served on. For the three of us, we paid just $40 for lunch and that included nearly an $8 tip. Our server was great, but we were literally her only table; no one else was in there when we stopped in for lunch around 11:15ish today, so it's hard to have bad service when it's just you and the waitress in the dining room. Also it can get busy here, especially for dinner or after the first round of daytime golfers finish up. So be prepared to wait if you come during those times.

This was an amazing experience. Every touch point was a pure joy, from the moment I entered and was promptly and politely seated, to the last few minutes as I chatted with one of the owners, Chris. Every single interaction we experienced gave us the comfort of being amongst friends who were happy to see us, and more importantly happy to be here. From our fully engaging server to the wonderful highschool sophomore who never let our water glasses get below half full, each and every person made our experience just that: an experience of excellence and perfect attention to detail. Our meals were just as delicious as the people. The Grilled Double-Cut Pork Chop was an absolute triumph--impeccably juicy, beautifully charred, and perfectly balanced by earthy morels, rich creamed ramps, and the bright, sweet pop of local cherries. The reimagined "Ratatouille" was a stunning work of art, featuring a beautifully seared zucchini steak, smoky eggplant crème, and a crisp, fresh nest of squash topped with plump, perfectly grilled shrimp. For the perfect conclusion, the Espresso Crème Brûlée delivered a silky, robust coffee custard beneath a shatteringly crisp caramelized crust, brilliantly elevated by the crunch of cacao nibs. What truly elevated the evening, however, was how flawlessly they handled my strict wheat- and grain-free dietary needs. Navigating menus with these restrictions can often feel stressful, but our server and the chef made every possible effort to accommodate me. They proactively verified every sauce and reduction to ensure they were safe, and the kitchen effortlessly modified the dessert by putting the biscotti on the side. To enjoy a multi-course, world-class meal with that level of meticulous care and total peace of mind is incredibly rare. They didn't just accommodate a restriction; they crafted a masterpiece around it. We certainly won't be waiting another 8 years to return.
