Here what happened: last month when I went to the cafe as I have been going since the day they opened. Now I don't live in the area but have family and property here . I sat down with my service dog and ordered a $20 dollar breakfast . Then I checked out all the funny sayings on the wall. Also introduced myself to his wife and gave her my business car as I had put a bid and had a contract on 30 East Main Street. She took my card. Then I purchased 50 dollars in cups of which I wrote a check from my business of 26 yrs, Black Rock Holistic Health Center. I sat with some nice people from Vermont had great conversations, was really relaxed and having a great time. Mr. Atkin came out at about 11:15 and said we closed at 11.. I said sir your front door says you close at 11:30. Meanwhile I have never met this guy ever in my life. I New prior owner whom is a wonderful kind WOMEN. Anyway he said we posted somewhere, not on the restaurant , some local thing I would have no idea about, we closing early. He was aggressive and rude and nasty all in one. Too much work in the kitchen Mr. Atkin. Then I said to the waitress I can go , but she kept saying I was fine don't worry, as I gave her a 10 dollar tip. Meanwhile it's only 11:20 and the waitress again says your fine. So as I am getting up 2 officers show up to speak to me. Are you serious, this asshome calls the police on a VIP client whom spent $80 dollar I am sure not your average spender in that type of place. What you got on the school of hard knocks, lol Bestt part is the county sheriff asks me if I know Philip DeMarco, I said yes that my dad, and I didn't know but apparently we are related through marriage and the cop couldn't stop praising my dad and said he was his hero and taught him everything there is to know about cattle.. And my dad was one of the biggest cattle dealers in NY state and Auctioneer. Anyway, apparently Mr. Atkin lied and said some girl, that be me, was saying she owned many businesses, really asshole this is not a crime. In fact I own 3, and I am a MULTI MILLIONAIRE and , been a doctor for 26 yrs. Oh and then He also lied about some guy said I pull my shirt up. Seriously !!!!!!! I had poison ivory and I lifted my shirt to to scratch it, oh and excuse, isn't this the 20th century!! I had a sports bra on under my t shirt which is usually what a I wear and most women in america when. It's hot and humid. Maybe your just a women hater. There is obviously something wrong with you!!! I don't know this guy, I believe my dad did business with his dad since he was a farmer and apparently Mr Atkin never got off the farm obviously. It seems to me Mr. Arkin you have a beef with the DeMarco name, saw that was my name and took the wrong actions. This is a warning next time I will sue you for defamation of character and being so agresive towards me. If your so unhappy maybe it's time to retire. Recommend Canteen Cafe instead!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beside the next day I went to the other breakfast place Canteen and it was the most elegant, delicious food and service. Was amazing and they have internet and everyone was so kind and nice and I only spent 15 dollars.. Time to retire dude and hand the restaurant over to someone who has manners and not grudges against innocent people whom spend $80 dollars at your little cafe.

I got a breakfast sandwich here and not only was my original order made wrong, the sandwich itself…read morecame out soggy. My daughter's toast was cold, the sausage patties were overcooked, and they only take cash. I also noticed staff in the kitchen without hats on. I was willing to give this place a try even though I still think I remember them attempting to host what felt like a distasteful event during the Cambridge mascot debate. I wanted to give them a fair shot despite questioning some of their community judgment, but overall the experience was underwhelming for a place serving pretty basic diner food. If you're going to be a diner, nail the basics.

It was the perfect setting for a memorable holiday dinner. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with friendly, attentive service from our server, Jamie. The ambiance was warm, inviting, and rich with history, making us feel like we had stepped back in time. We started with an Old Fashioned made with Smugglers' Notch bourbon for me and a refreshing Blueberry Refresher for my wife. The homemade cranberry fritters served with Vermont maple butter were an outstanding way to begin the meal. Next came bowls of the delicious Cheddar & Ale Onion Soup, followed by the Maple Butter & Walnut Encrusted Brie served with Vermont apples and toasted baguette--an excellent combination of sweet, savory, and crunchy flavors. Our entrees were preceded by fresh field greens salads with balsamic vinaigrette and blue cheese crumbles, along with warm, freshly baked bread. I thoroughly enjoyed the Traditional Pot Roast--tender brisket slow-cooked in the tavern's Circa 1790 Amber Ale with rich pan gravy. My wife chose the Scrod with pumpkin seeds, butter, Chardonnay, and lemon, which was perfectly prepared and beautifully balanced. To finish, we shared the Cranberry & Apple Crisp topped with local vanilla ice cream and whipped cream--a fittingly New England ending to an exceptional meal. The combination of outstanding food, welcoming hospitality, and the unique historic atmosphere made for a wonderful dining experience. If you're visiting Manchester, Ye Olde Tavern is well worth a visit, especially if you're looking to enjoy classic Vermont cuisine in one of the state's most historic settings.

My NY Sirloin was ok... it was VERY tough and a bit on the fatty side, but it was tasty. We finished off with a S'more's hot sundae which was gone in about 3 minutes (if that)

Our good friends live in Stillwater (NY) in a beautiful log home on the Hudson River. They have…read morebeen talking about their favorite restaurant, Wallie's, forever. Last night we found out why. Wallie's is located in Greenwich (NY - pronounced GREEN-wich) which is just over the Hudson from Schuylerville and about 20 minutes from Saratoga Springs. Well worth the drive. I was told that the restaurant has been around a long time (one of our friends used to go there with his parents as a youngster), but was closed for many years. The current owners did a fabulous renovation job! It's well beyond tavern quality. If they upgraded the seating to plush chairs, you would think you walked into a five-star dining establishment. Our food and beverages did not disappoint. My hubs and I ordered Whiskey Sours which were truly authentic. I'm a martini gal and hadn't had one in years - it was delicious. We shared the Calamari appetizer which was perfectly fried, crispy and not greasy, and the perfect size portion for two. It was accompanied with a thick marinara. We thoroughly enjoyed their house special, Prime Rib (offered in 10 or 14 ounce portions), which was cooked to perfection (rare). The beef was offered with horseradish or horseradish cream (or both!). The mixed vegetables that accompanied the meat were fresh and not overcooked. There was also a baked potato. We were too full to sample dessert. Next time! Our server was accommodating and the timing of delivery of our food was a bit slow (there were only two other tables with patrons) but we were not in a hurry so we didn't mind. Wallie's was a superb find. You won't find better prime rib anywhere. Their menu is limited but they cover all the bases. Items are reasonably priced. I do hope they expand their offerings - or add specials (which they didn't have last night) - to get locals and other regulars to dine there more often. Having said that, it's the prime rib that draws our friends to this place (a 15-20 minute drive from Stillwater). Wallie's bar area is charming. Warm and cozy with bar and table seating. They also have off-street parking. This place is a winner!

The price is on the higher side for this area but at the same time you have several things to factor in.. everything tastes homemade including the soups, the portions are large (my mom and I both had leftovers), and you are at a golf course as well so that already sets an expectation for elevated cost in my mind. The service was very friendly and you can tell they work hard, everyone is readily available to help you out while also constantly moving and making sure everyone has everything they need / having efficient table touches, etc. I had the Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo & my mother got the Ribeye.. they were both huge lol but they were also both cooked and prepared perfectly! They have a TON of alcohol selections - for seltzer / can people like myself FYI - they have High Noon, Truly, Surfside, all the good ones! The ambiance is great, it was pretty much a full house when we came and everyone was clearly enjoying themselves. The room when you first walk in has lots of tables by big windows and a bar, and then the back left hand side is full of gorgeous murals covering the walls and additional seating kind of in its own little corner. Overall, definitely recommend this place for a drink and a really nice dinner. Just come hungry and allow yourself the option to go home after with some leftovers! For our meals plus an alcohol beverage each, it was $70 or so, plus a tip.
