The Copper Crow - New American Near Me - Albany, New York

First visit to The Copper Crow and definitely not our last! We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated almost immediately. It took our server a few minutes to make it over to us, but the restaurant was hopping, so it was understandable. She asked if we were heading to a play afterward (smart question--I imagine they're great at getting theater-goers in and out on time). Since we had nowhere to be, we were happy to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. We started with the Crab Rangoon Dip... and WOW. Ridiculously good! If you're debating whether to order it, don't. Just do it. Our entrées were very good--maybe not the kind of meal I'll be dreaming about for weeks, but definitely well above average and full of flavor. Service was on the slower side, but honestly, it gave us more time to soak in the ambience and enjoy the evening. The menu is unique, and there were several other dishes that caught my eye, which gives us a great excuse to come back. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we're already looking forward to our next visit! read more

The women greeting us rolled her eyes when we asked if it was possible to have a booth. We had reservations and there were many open. She told us no so we settled with a table. Our server was friendly and attentive. She helped us select our meals. The atmosphere was nice and we really enjoyed the food. The low rating is because it took over 45 minutes to get our meals. We watched people get seated around us and receive their food and couldn't help but wonder if the kitchen forgot us or had to remake something. Our server was sweet and recognized the wait was far too long. She did keep checking on us and bringing water while we waited. She offered us a free desert so we choose a cake slice (to go) to share but then ended up leaving because we paid our bill and sat another 10 minutes so we decided we would move on with no dessert. The food was really good. I had the filet, horseradish mashed potato, and Brussels. The filet was cooked perfectly. The potato's were good but just tasted like regular mashed potatoes. The Brussels were not cooked enough so I could only eat some of them. The Korean cheesesteak was the star with smashed potato's. I tried a bite of my husband's and wished I had also ordered it. Again, food was good but they need to get a little more organized and rolling your eyes for a customer question isn't a great first impression. If you aren't in a hurry at all, and don't want a booth, the food is great. read more

Spending a weekend away in the Lake George / Berkshires area with the hubby and wanted to find somewhere to try, stopped in after jumping on Yelp to find somewhere close that was cute with decent food. Decided to give a try. The place is a total vibe, dont let the outside and area fool you! It had been a long day by the time we got here, did the outlets all day long and I was coming down with a cold. Ordered a ton of apps, Crab rangoon dip is GOOOOOODDDD!!!!... Ordered Calamari that apparently I didnt get a pic of, but It was good also. I think we got wings, but I truly cant remember. I got the risotto, I didnt love it but the Shrimp were delish, it had a super strong after taste flavor that I didnt love but couldnt truly put my finger on, Hubby said his pasta was good, but just needed "something". Would def go back just not sure how often we'd be in the area. Drink menu was super extensive and they were great as well. Started to feel not well and literally had to take our food to go, the waitress was soo concerned and caring, it was great, and it was no fault of the food or theirs, I think it was just whatever cold I was coming down with that kicked my ass and I felt like I was going to pass out, sorry TMI... But the response was so nice and accommodating from the staff. Def worth a try, just be patient with parking, it was slightly chaotic, or that night we just happened to encounter all the people in the are who couldnt drive in tight spaces, LOL! read more

We had a reservation Saturday evening before visiting the Egg. The host was super duper friendly and he immediatelly brought us to a small two top in the back dining area. The wine by the glass list was limited and fifty percent was vegan. I ordered the Mosen German Reisling which is more sweet than I prefer but there were no other options. My guy ordered a brown beer on tap, i'm unsure the name. We started with appetizers crab rangoon dip with crispy delicious wonton chips. And the second mozzarella eggrolls. I would pass on the eggrolls im the future. The motz is advertised smoked but lacked a smoky flavor. The Harissa had the spice level simular to Heinz ketchup. My entree was a Cuban sandwich that did deliver some heat, well pressed with plenty of pickles. We would love to see a wider wine selection and a turn up on the spice and flavor for the appetizers. read more

Great spot in downtown Albany for happy hour. Loved their craft cocktails. Bartenders ate friendly and make great drinks. We tried the Cubano sandwich with fingerling potatoes. It was delicious! Loved the sesame seeded hoagie. Craft cocktails were great and only $10 during happy hour 4-6pm. The place has a very nice vibe and airy feeling. read more

First they are very nice folks here so understand it's not a personality issue but our server checked on us once well after our meals arrived. We both ordered the Pan seared filet medium rare and it came out medium well. Not even sure it was a Filet. It was thin for a filet. The mashed potatoes arrived cold and had some large undercooked not mashed not fully cooked bits in them. I would not dine in again. No apologies for the bad cooked meals. They did take off one of them the bill. Perhaps it was just an off night. We have lots of other choices so we can amicably part ways :-) Hope you do better for others and wish you success. read more

Ordered Sun night. Burger, risotto, fried oreos. Total came to around $80. Burger tasted like it was cooked on same pan as a crab cake/seafood. That put a bad taste in my mouth. I do not wish my burger to taste like fish. I wont be ordering again. Risotto was a little salty. Oreos were fine but you cant really mess up fried oreos. I would try them again but i'm scared to order the burger now. Do they not clean their grill? read more

What a great place (one of the few that were open on a Monday.) good bartenders, friendly server who gave wonderful recommendations, the street corn pasta was amazing, the Rangoon dip was a cool variation but not my fav. And the schnitzel was a little dry and over fried but the construction of the dish was good. The decor and couch area give it a really cool vibe, and the manager or owner was helping out at the bar and attending to guests. read more

Really enjoy the happy hour at this spot, great drink specials and we usually share some delicious appetizers as well. Plus the added convenience of having a dedicated parking lot downtown is a huge plus! The ambiance is perfect for a date night or friendly cocktails. We usually split a bottle of wine or do some of the happy hour special cocktails plus a couple appetizers to share. We love the calamari and if it's on special you have to order the crab Rangoon dip! The bartenders are always super friendly and helpful! read more

Very cool spot. Ambiance was hip And fresh. Service was reasonable. Menu was great. House special cocktails were interesting and tasty. Our crew shared the calamari and fried cauliflower, both delicious. I had the spicy chicken katsu sandwich. Amazing flavor, but they aren't joking about the "spicy" part. The hot aioli is the real deal! read more

Terrible food experience. Had to return my dish and the alternative was not much better. No care no effort to make dishes at a minimum decent. There are much better places than here to dine. read more

Coming from out of town. I really enjoyed the setting and feel if the place. Great selection of drinks to speciality drinks to wide selection of liquors The food menu although not huge was moderate variety. I enjoyed the special pork tenderloin with a wonderful sauce and mushrooms. Nice friendly people - I would go again. I seldomly give places 5 stars when traveling bc I have not been able to sample rest of menu. I would not hold this against them though read more

Nice place, feels upscale but still comfortable. Lots of beer choice (LOTS) and cocktails were interesting. All drinks were good, no doubt. Food choices were nice, very different, NOT 'standard bar food'. Nothing greasy to order, which was nice as I look for healthier options. Tried the cauliflower, had Asian type of sauce that was spicy ~ I liked it. Everyone did, so get 2 if you have to share. Lol. I wanted a salad, and it was good but large! I loved the pork belly bao buns, nice sauce on that. I was not sure if this place is supposed to be Asian or Southwest or what, not really a theme. I like that, but makes it harder to explain. Just try it for yourself. Try more than one beer, and for was DELICIOUS read more

Just down the street from Nipper is the Copper Crow. We found this place by searching for good cocktails in Albany on Yelp and Yelp did not let us down! We loved the cocktails! The Blackberry Sour was great and I love that they use aquafaba (essentially chickpea water) instead of egg whites in the cocktails ( the whole egg white in drinks thing just doesn't sit right with me). I also enjoyed the Rose is a Rose with gin, elderflower and guava nectar- light and refreshing. The atmosphere is also really cool and unique with stained glass, an interesting mix of plants and mid century furniture. I would definitely come back here, mainly for the cocktails and maybe some apps. We enjoyed the steamers and the bread a lot. The sauce was excellent. I had some croquettes which were okay. The green salad was nice and a good portion but not particularly memorable. We also got this eggplant appetizer, but this was the only thing that we did not like. Our group of three could barely eat 1/4 of it. I was surprised our server didn't inquire if there was something wrong because it was pretty obvious we didn't like it. They did seem in a bit of a hurry to turn tables over and we felt a little rushed even though it didn't seem super busy. Parking available in a small lot at the restaurant. Look forward to returning here for drinks again. read more

Came here for dinner and drinks with a couple of friends and enjoyed ourselves! We had some glasses of wine and they had a nice selection. The espresso martini here is also really good. I also had the Duck Banh Mi which was very yummy and there were a lot of cool food choices that I want to come back and try. It was a little pricey but we all enjoyed our meals. The interior was really cool and we were sat quickly as well. read more

Started with the house salad and then had calamari and the Korean fried chicken sandwich. Excellent cocktails and friendly service. Gluten free and vegetarian items clearly marked.

Stopped in for lunch on a bright sunny day. My husband accompanied me even though he wasn't sure I would like the lighting there. He was right. I found the lighting to be a bit too dark. The manager and bartender, Trudy, was very understanding. She pointed out that it might take some time for my eyes to adjust since it was so bright outside. She was very nice and she was right. I think it's just me. No one else seemed concerned about lighting but I chose a seat at the bar where the lighting was a bit brighter. It seems late lunches are popular at Copper Crow. More and more people arrived after we placed our orders. The menu is influenced by cuisines around the world though the majority are Asian inspired. There's a global atmosphere here. A lot of song choices were in French, including La Vie en Rose. It was fun. I speak enough French to understand most of the songs. I ordered a falafel salad and a Bud Light. The salad was very fresh. The falafel was crispy. The portions were generous. I took half of it home. We asked about brunch. Trudy said there are plans to begin offering brunch. Perhaps by the end of February. I'll check back. That would be great. read more

Out door dining, a little bit pricy and a longer than expected wait for service but all well worth it when considering the delicious food. Favorites include the Duck Banh Mi Shredded duck confit, which, per their menu is a house duck proscuitto, pâté de foie, cilantro, daikon salad, fried lotus & taro chips. Great combination of sweet, savory, with just a touch of sour. Quaffed with a Bavarian ABT which is both a 10% alcohol content and rich in a good way that doesn't fight you on the way down or over power you with a bitter or sweet aroma. My vegetarian partner was suprised by how delicious their Manchurian Cauliflower Bites (V, GF) were. While possibly able to someday mimic the sweet & hot Manchurian sauce, I am not sure we could ever get the texture of this crispy fried cauliflower right. Worth a visit for sure. read more

The Copper Crow - Angry schnitzel - New American Near Me - Albany, New York

My dinner here was a delight to several senses... taste for certain, I enjoyed the decor, and I similarly enjoyed the background music until the restaurant filled up and background noise diminished it. Their innovations with regard to flavors and presentation kept my taste buds excited and happy. Their drink menu has just about anything you could want as well, be it an interesting crafted cocktail, a beer from a large selection, as well as a large list of pours of whiskies as well as other liquors - even absinthe and pernod! Though I do feel the whiskey pours (2 oz.) were a bit above average asking price. The Thai Beef small plate we shared to start felt more like a medium plate, easily satisfying 2 or maybe 3 as an appetizer. Our dinners carried that momentum, with quality, taste, presentation, and intriguing flavors. Of my own dinner, the Venezuelan Asado Negro, I was hooked on the chili lime sauce accompanying the cauliflower, and I wound up having to try it on everything. The Korean ribs are quite spicy, but I was more intrigued by the "kimchi'd collards," words I had never used together before (and never Kimchi as an adjective, lol). Service was pleasant, nothing out of the ordinary, I suspect my server may have been fairly new (but right on point). But everyone was professional and friendly. Overall this was, for me, a top-notch experience and a restaurant to which I hope to return frequently. read more

The building smells like mold inside. It's very dark + the mold/mildew smell is extremely unappetizing. We were sat and didn't stay for the food because of the poorly kept conditions. read more

This place is great! Food is delicious and the service is excellent! The ambiance is pretty cool. Upscaled not your typical bar.

My friend suggested we go here for my birthday celebration. We got there for happy hour and the drinks were great. We were seated shortly after. I ordered the crab stuffed haddock and it did not disappoint. It was savory and cooked to perfection. I would definitely go back again for a dinner date. My only regret is, I did not take a photo before eating it. read more

My friend was being sexually harassed by a woman at the bar. He was uncomfortable and said he was not interested. She grabbed his ass, kept touching him, and would not leave him alone. I went and told a bartender who acted confused and then asked "wait, is your friend a girl or guy?" Making it seem like if it was a man it's not harassment. When I told him it was my male friend he said "Honestly, I don't know what I can do." Feels like crappy bartending on top of backwards thinking. Food may be good but service does not deserve your tips. read more

This was our first time here. The hostess was very welcoming and brought us right to our table. We ordered a blackberry sour and chocolate martini, both were great! We had the brussel sprouts for a starter, I thought they were a little dry and needed a glaze or something added to them. For our mains, we had the Korean bbq short rib with spicy dirty rice, collard green kimchi, and corn bread as well as crab stuffed haddock with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The corn bread was burnt, but that didn't ruin it. The short rib was tasty and tender. The description had 2 pepper icons for spice level and it held true! The haddock was light, flavorful and the crab only enhanced it. Our only gripe was that we waited quite some time for our mains after the appetizer with the place not having many people at the time we were there. All in all it was a nice experience and we'd go back to try more dishes. read more

Came here for the first time. Entree was very good. I got the schnitzel and it was enormous, enough for at least 2 meals. Five stars. Dessert - key lime pie. Not very good. It's served as a single-serving tart, and the custard filing was entirely runny. I assume that's the intent, but it was unappetizing. I love key lime pie so this was sad. Atmosphere - while relaxed, the entire interior is hard surfaces making it extremely loud - so loud that it's tiresome to hold much of a conversation after a while. Too loud for my comfort, but that's just me. I'd try it again at lunch when maybe not so loud. read more

Took an hour and a half to get our entrees. Food was good and the atmosphere was great but we ended up having to ask where our appetizers were to even get them. We ended up leaving before we got our entrees because it was taking so long and people in our party were hungry. We asked multiple waitresses for updates on our food with little to no answer. Other parties who were seated after us got their food first. The manager was kind about it but we were extremely disappointed in the service, especially having been here and enjoyed it previously. Drinks were very good though! read more

If you've seen any of my previous reviews, you might know that I am a huge fan of Savoy Taproom. The owner, Jason, is truly amazing and his visions are brought to life with Savoy and now his new venture, The Copper Crow. I really wish tonight wasn't my first visit, I should have been here weeks ago. One of the areas where Savoy shines is cocktails, and The Copper Crow mirrors that exactly. Many of my favorite cocktails at Savoy are also on the menu here, along with other new varieties. Bottom line - if you're coming here, order a signature cocktail. I could rant on the entire review about the Whiskey Sour, but reference my Savoy review if you want to, it's the best drink I have EVER had. And the exactly same drink is served here without any loss of quality or flavor. I had three whiskey cocktails and they all blew me away. Sour, Manhattan, and the Gates of Hell. Let's focus on the food, the vision here is fusion and every dish reflects that. The menu is exciting, inviting, and trust me the flavors deliver. I started with the prize winning Newport chowder, it is an herb forward creamy and dreamy fish chowder. Do not come in with expectations of a regular old clam chowder, the soup brings strong flavors of dill, herbs and fish. It was surprising and unique. As a soup fanatic, I was impressed. For a shared starter, my fiancé and I shared the wonton rolls, a twist on mozzarella sticks, but wrapped in a wonton wrapper and served with a harissa marinara. Again, I appreciated and loved the unique twist on the dish. I forgot a photo of this one! For mains, I went small and got the Bone Marrow Bruchetta. it was a crusty bread, spread with bone marrow and topped with mozzarella and tomato. I had wished the dish was served with the actual bone and marrow, but this was still delicious. The flavors were bold and it was like a twist on pizza flavors. I think the star of the night might have been my fiancés entree, the Street Corn Pasta. Wow. A creamy sauce enveloped the perfectly cooked fettuccini, and topped with cotija, peppers, cilantro, corn, and all the flavors you want for street corn. I chose this for him since he can be picky, but he absolutely loved it. I stole a few bites and I agree, phenomenal. My table of five all left completely happy and full. The portions were notable large and amazing for the quality. We all left with to go boxes. Prices were reasonable, drinks add up but honestly they are so worth it for a splurge. The Copper Crow is large, open, spacious, and the perfect place to catch up with friends and cocktails. I can't wait to return, and hopefully you'll be there soon too! read more

Nice restaurant w friendly staff n plenty of parking. We started off w the fried smelts which was a special , Newport chowder, Israeli falafel salad n duck Bao buns. The soups was so good w generous amount of seafood. The corn meal coatedfried smelts w dipping sauce was delicious too. The salad was a generous portion and could have been shared by two and the yoghurt tahini sauce was a great accompaniment to it. And the duck Bao buns were good too. And for entrees we had the street corn pasta, risotto fungi and the duck bahn mi. All very yummy n generous portions that were enjoyed by us. Since we had stuffed ourselves w the small plates we wanted to try the deserts too n had plenty of LO's for home. Tried the chocolate mousse cake, kelya muluk n the fried Oreos. The choc mousse cake n fried Oreos were very good. The kelya muluk was ok. Didn't taste banana in it. Overall amazing dinner. Thanks copper crow. Will be back when we are in the area again. read more
