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

The mixologist Anna is top tier awesome! Extremely creative with the drinks. She is not just a bartender, she is a liquid artist! Jason was really knowledgeable on the different spirits , and shared some new things. Great hospitality. Cheers to Albany. read more

Stopped in for cocktails- great vibe here. Dark wood, lounging area and a variety of dinning options. The signature cocktails are very unique and complex and would recommend the Murder in Manhattan!! The also have a unique draft selection with a number of 10% beers and served at proper temperatures. Very competent bar tenders-and they even provide water with your beverage. Hostess was friendly and gave a little tour. Although we didn't eat it looks like a diverse menu with multicultural selections. We'll be back! read more

Amazing cocktails and a wonderful smattering of gluten free options. Food and service were great, this was a surprising pit stop on our trip to Albany read more

This was a very enjoyable experience. I was greeted warmly by the bartender Lia, whose grace was only exceeded by her beauty; was very attentive, warm and welcoming. The food was excellent. I Started with the clam chowder and had the duck bahn mi as an entree. I would highly recommend. A very classy place. Consistently good drinks, food and service. read more

Best meal I've had in a long time. Whoever is cooking knows what they're doing. Cozy yet casual dining with indoor and outdoor options. My only complaint (not worth taking a star away) was that the waitress sat us right next to the bathroom and next to another couple. Most of the restaurant was empty (we were there for an early dinner). Really, the worst possible seat amongst all the options? We requested a booth and she promptly moved us. read more

This place is amazing! I miraculously stumbled upon it when googling "dinner" when visiting from out of town. What I found was a warm, wonderful bar and restaurant, with an EPIC bourbon selection. On top of that, their Filet is to DIE for. I've had it three times, and it's always perfectly cooked (mid rare). It comes with perfectly crispy Brussels sprouts, great mashed potatoes, and a bleu cheese butter over the steak that totally takes it over the top. Hats off to the owner Jason, the bartender Bill, and the great chef I spoke to tonight with the hat! Have loved every visit so far. (Also, side note, I'm from NYC and love great restaurants, so I have *very* high standards). read more

The Copper Crow - Filet. Sorry, I don't have enough patience to photograph it before digging in! - New American Near Me - Albany, New York

My friends and I really wanted to try this place. So we quickly booked a reservation right after they reopened from their unfortunate flooding. The menu is quite sophisticated and the food was delicious. I started with the chowder which really was one of the best I've had, chock full of seafood. The jerk swordfish was tender, spicy and a good portion, just as I like. The service was attentive but not over bearing. The waitresses switched out so Fiona finished the night with us, very nice. My only 'ding' on this place is that it bills itself as upscale, business casual. When you peruse the website that is the feeling you get. As stated before the menu is quite sophisticated and certainly lives up to that billing. Unfortunately when you arrive the place seems more like a dressed up bar. The hostess was well disguised in trendy torn jeans and a tie dye tee shirt. In my humble opinion the staff should be more uniform looking. We arrived business casual and felt overdressed. This does not by any means detract from the food or service...but please be more accurate in the description of your restaurant or in the ambiance of your business. read more

Went to Copper Crow after a visit to Verse 518 for lunch on a Saturday. Food was great and server was very friendly. Would recommend to anyone. read more

Made a reservation for this restaurant in hopes to try something new. I usually don't mind paying for pricier food if the quality meets the price, but this wasn't the case. Way way overpriced for the food quality. We ordered the pork belly bao buns, calamari and the wontons for the starters. And honestly one was more disappointing then the next. Street corn pasta and Korean short ribs for entrees, portions were good but once again way overpriced for the food quality. They also didn't have any burgers this night??? Weird to me. Ambiance was definitely great, super cool decorations and vibe. I definitely wouldn't come back and for any first timers, I would go somewhere else to get your moneys worth. read more

Walking into this restaurant reminded me of a rustic saloon that has class. It was a welcome feeling coming from Kentucky. My waitress was amazing and knew the menu giving great recommendations. The pork schnitzel was beyond words! The crunch of the pork chop accompanied by the grounding of the sauce was outstanding. The drink was well crafted with a wonderful taste of fresh ingredients. I would return thanks to the lovely service. read more

Great service and delicious food, one of the better meals I've had in quite a while. I enjoyed the pork belly bao buns with my wife and the Reuben was delicious, you can tell they make the corned beef in house which is always a good sign. read more

Figuring it was only 4:00 pm on a Saturday that we did not need reservations. Although the rude host had many empty tables he states that as long as we are out of there by 6:00 pm he can seat us. Proceeds to escort us to a tiny table way in the back of restaurant making us feel unwelcome. Ordered calamari which was just okay. For dinner my husband ordered fish which was the size of a card deck with about four spears of asparagus for $35! I got lamb wrap which was cold and tasteless. Only ate two bites. We complained to the waitress and they did take the drinks off the menu. Between the rude host and subpar food we won't ever return. read more

The menu is really intimidating at first but everything was delicious and our server helped us to make good choices. Even if you aren't an adventurous diner you will find something to like here. The interior is also really cool. read more

The food is delicious, from scratch. The room is crazy loud. The servers are nice but were overwhelmed pre-Palace show. I would return. Very delicious. I had a catfish sandwich which comes with delicious roasted potatoes,, and my friend had the reuben which she loved. I don't mind waiting for delicious, fresh food made from scratch and with heart, as is evident here. A pleasure. The anti-TGI Friday's, etc. read more

Nice stop on our drive home. Fun neighborhood (we sat on the elevated deck). Salad with tofu was tasty. Good service. And open on a Sunday night! read more

The cowboy steak was excellent, and the bourbon barrel Allagash beer on tap was a special treat. The service was thoughtful and attentive, and when the salmon dish was not to our liking, they volunteered to take it from the invoice without our having to ask, which was something that we really appreciated. The atmosphere was fun and festive and the music was good and we had a great time. We finished the meal with fried Oreos, which were astoundingly good. read more

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

Great new upscale food and drinks in Stout's old location. Parking lot and plenty of street parking. Cocktails were great, definitely a bourbon/amaro theme, which is up my alley. Food is creative and tasty, although menu isn't very cohesive other than a loose Asian fusion theme. Not a ton for vegetarian/vegan options. Didn't get a food menu for a bit and cocktail service somehow took longer as the place cleared out after dinner. Glad to add another good spot to the list in Albany though and will certainly be back. read more

I enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner with family here recently. We tried two appetizers the cauliflower and potatoes with cilantro sauce were delicious and quickly devoured. The crew got schnitzel, the tofu risotto and salmon dishes and everyone enjoyed their meals. The cocktails and desserts were delicious too and the staff were attentive and very responsive. A little noisy if you have any hearing issues but otherwise a great spot. read more

Good Food - Poor Service (Update 2/13: Raising to 4 Stars as the restaurant reached out to me about my dining experience.) I was eager to try the Copper Crow so I quickly said 'yes' when my neighbor suggested we go a few weeks back. Considering the restaurant did not appear to be busy, the poor service we received, and the amount it cost us, The Copper Crow (CC) offered an 'ok' dining experience. Facebook presented an ad for the CC in my feed last week so I tried to provide feedback via FB messenger. I received an automated response and never heard back from them. With that, here is my review. We entered the restaurant behind another party who told the host that they did not have a reservation. The host then asked us if we had a reservation - which we did - and seated us ahead of the party in front of us. If the restaurant was full, I would understand this. However, it was odd that she chose to seat us first and then immediately seat the other party indicating it was not due to a shortage of staff. Our server wasn't bad but rather just seemed bored and lacked any enthusiasm. We ordered martinis on the rocks with olives. As soon as she walked away, we both noted how disappointed we were with her attitude and service. Our server brought us our cocktails holding the glassware from the top which contaminated the rims. Thankfully, they had straws so we chose not to send them back. She failed to add olives and asked us again if we had wanted them. Yes, we did. She brought them on a saucer without toothpicks. A martini there is something like $15? Get it right. We ordered smoke bluefish croquettes ($14), fried calamari ($15), Tom Yum shrimp spaetzle ($28), and risotto ai funghi ($27). The croquettes were the best dish. The calamari seems to have more garbanzo beans than anything else. The spaetzle was a ginger-forward dish which was odd since the ingredient was not listed in the description. Overall, it would appear that they use quality ingredients. The food all seemed fresh and was cooked well. They have a creative menu mixing different flavors together but could balance them a bit more evenly. I'd like to say I'll go back but considering they have a social presence that they do not monitor, I question how much they value customer input. 2 people, 2 cocktails, 2 appetizers, and 2 main dishes: $135+ w/ tip. read more

We love going to the Copper Crow! Every time we go the bartenders remember our names. We are usually there when Bill, Bill and Anna are there. Drinks are very consistent! read more

We sat outside which was far quieter than the inside rooms and we had quite the show from motorcyclists. Food was a bit pricey for the quality and portions... My duck banh mi had large amounts of fat that had not been removed but was otherwise good. My partner got the korean short rib which came with some amazing cornbread. We shared the pork bao bun appetizer which we agreed was the best part of the meal (highly recommend). Both the Rose is a Rose and Sakerita cocktails were tasty and boozey (although also pricey). Service for dining was speedy and great, loved our server! read more

Wonderful atmosphere with very creative entrées and great craft cocktails. Highly recommend. Super nice service!

Interesting food and fabulous drink! Service was great!! definitely a more mature crowd that day!

Calamari was excellent, crisp and great start. Espresso martini was work class. Bahn Mi was exceptional

Fantastic I had the Duck Bahn Mi and it was awesome I sat at the bar and asked the bartenders if I should order a meal that was more expensive than then Duck or the Duck. They both said the Duck- it was great. Never had a sandwich like that - very flavorful, just the right amount of confit not to over power the shredded duck which was so good! I will be back! Great bartenders who talked and had genuine conversations vs trying to up sell! read more

Over priced. Food ok. Nothing great. Atmosphere was good. Don't think I would go back. Other places in capital region better food and price.

Gave this place two chances and 0/10 both times. Sprint 2023 - walked in, hostess was hostile. Asked her if she had room for two, angrily tapped her pen as she looked at the floor plan, grabbed menus and stormed off without saying a word. We followed. She slammed the menus on the table without saying anything and walked away. Drink and food was mediocre. Springs 2024 - service was outright unprofessional. Walked in and nobody was there to greet us. It was 1:30pm on a Saturday and nobody was there. Asked the bar tender if we could sit in the empty lounge and they were unsure if we could. Hostess arrives and hands us three menus, despite being a party of more than three, and doesn't say anything after that. We sat ourselves. She just sat back down in her chair by the front and played on her phone. After we seated ourselves, despite the hostess sitting in a chair doing nothing, we had to order our drinks at the bar. Drinks weren't good. Asking staff for anything seemed like a chore. Bad drinks, bad service, and bad vibes. Don't go. read more

We have had the great fortune of going to the Copper Crow a number of times in the last year, and each time we have had fantastic food, drinks, and service. We went last Sunday for an early dinner after a show at a local theater. We were thrilled that it was open on a Sunday. We had such a great time and the food was so good that I forgot to snap the obligatory food and drink pics. I did get one of us at our very private and cozy high top across from the bar. The brussel sprouts appetizer is so good that we get it to share every time. I love the seasonal rotation of food and my autumn rueben was a perfect blend of salty, vinegary, and yummy. I cannot rave about it enough. My husband had the catfish dish and key lime pie and devoured them. I love the lounge area, and next time we go, we will go for drinks and sit there. This is becoming one of our favorites, to include the fact that it has a parking lot which is rare in that part of town. read more

The Copper Crow - High top for two. - New American Near Me - Albany, New York

This would have been a 5 star review, but let me explain. First, the wonderful. The Korean short ribs are nothing short of sensational. Fork tender and lovingly seasoned. I'd never had collard greens before, but the collard green kimchi was a unique and very complimentary touch. Not a cornbread person, but that's just a personal taste kind of thing, and my dinner guest pronounced it "delicious". The street corn pasta was really oversold. It's just basically fettuccine Alfredo with a bit of fresh corn. Super heavy, and it quickly congealed...not a great choice, despite raves by our server The Brussels sprouts were tough and chewy. But what really bothered me is that I wanted the Ropa Vieja entree without beans, just rice. Our server reported back that it was impossible because it's "all mixed together," so no plain rice was available. But, lo and behold, my short ribs entree was served with rice, not a bean in sight. Really? What's the big deal? And so, a less stellar review due to inflexibility and poor execution of two of our orders. read more

Accessible fine dining at its best. Fantastic food at a fair price. Definitely a hidden gem; I think the business suffers from the reputation of the restaurant that occupied this building before it. This is great food and ambiance in the warehouse district, not another college bar. read more

I came here to experience the first prize chowder. Man the critics were not wrong. The Newport chowder was the best tasting chowder I have ever had. They did not skimp on the shrimp and potatoes. Every bite was like a taste of heaven. The only reason why I didn't add a photo was because I ordered it take out and it didn't deserve to be photoed in a take out cup. That would of been insulting lol. Next on the menu was the Korean bbq ribs, the ribs were cooked to perfection. The meat did not just fall off the bone which would be a indication of being over cooked. It was tender full of flavor and the dirty rice was a home run. I'm not a big fan of collard greens but even that tasted great. It had a good kick to it. My wife ordered the street corn pasta which she loved. We had to split our plates in half so we could both experience top notch food. Everything from the phone call to recovering our food was excellent. The food shows the pride that the chefs have in their field. I highly recommend trying this place out if your in the mood to taste heaven. I'm glad to have been part of the elite experience at the Copper Crow. You guys just received a new fan and a new regular. read more

The Copper Crow should definitely be added to your dining list for 2022. Be prepared for a cultural culinary tour with a dash of Iron Chef creativity. The space has a very roomy feel. I enjoyed the lighting and you would have no problem hanging with a large group here. You can park on the street but there is also a private parking lot which is pretty awesome for this area. You can tell they are very serious about their cocktail offerings. I had a flawlessly prepared Sazerac and Old Fashioned. I was mistakenly brought a Sazerac Whiskey (never even knew that was a thing) but the problem was rectified quickly. They also had an ample beer list. I saw Pappy Van Winkle bourbon on the cocktail list! Do a google search and be shocked at the price :) I tried their award winning seafood chowder to start. The consistency of the broth was perfection. It was very creative and contained dill which I didn't love. The potatoes in the chowder were fantastic but there were a lot of them and not much actual seafood. A seafood taste was present though. Next I had the bone marrow bruschetta which was absolutely fabulous. It hit so many flavor notes which made me smile :) I prefer bone marrow presented the traditional way but it was definitely present in the composition of the dish. The bread was perfectly toasty. I finished my meal with the duck breast which was simply outstanding. One might say the duck breast was only slightly over cooked but I loved the sauce and the marinade they used for it. It also presented duck two ways. Duck confit wrapped around a beignet. What a clever idea and it was delicious. The vegetable tied everything together and complimented the dish so well. An expensive night out for sure but the Copper Crow clearly has a team of creative chefs and an owner who is friendly and caring about his product. I would certainly be happy to return. read more

My husband and I stopped in here on a Friday night and I think we found a new favorite spot! For drinks, they have an impressive draft list and a great variety of cocktails. I ordered the Old Fashioned and really enjoyed the slightly sweet flavor profile. For starters, we ordered the Wonton Rolls, which were flavorful and well-fried. For mains, my husband ordered the Venezuelan Asado Negro. It was delicious! I kept stealing bites from his plate. I ordered the Risotto ai Funghi and was very happy with the dish. The risotto was so flavorful and the portion was very generous. We both felt our entrees were the best we'd had in a long time. I was also impressed with how many vegan and gluten-free meal options were available. The venue itself is large and spacious and we appreciated the off-street parking lot. The prices are incredibly fair in light of portion size and quality. I would highly recommend this spot and can't wait to return! read more

My wife and I visited The Copper Crow for dinner and had an absolutely fantastic time. We made reservations and were seated quickly even though we arrived early, which was much appreciated. The restaurant had low, warm lighting which makes for a great atmosphere for date night and cocktails. It's also great that they have off-street parking right next door. The service was top notch and both Angel and the manager were very helpful and attentive. They have a really great drink menu with an extensive list of liquors, really solid tap list, and well-crafted cocktails. Their Old Fashioned is one of the best I've had in a while and I'm really looking forward to trying the Hudson next time I'm there. The chowder, which we tried at a competition earlier, is fantastic. We also really enjoyed the Wonton Rolls, which are mozzarella sticks in fried wonton wrappers with a harissa marinara sauce. The Risotto Ala Funghi, which is one of their many vegan and gluten free options, has a wonderful, earthy flavor and is served with abundant tofu with a smoky rub on it. I also really loved my Venezuelan Asado Negro - the pupusas and brussels sprouts are just as good as the meat on this dish. All of the dishes are notably large portions so both of us left full and with leftovers! There is zero doubt in my mind that we'll be back to The Copper Crow in the near future and will be bringing friends and family here. read more

Thanks, The Copper Crow and Yelp! I was able to try the Newport Chowder bowl through takeout, and the flavors were really great. Good amount of seafood and ingredients found in the serving size. The soup is very rich, so I was surprisingly full after the complimentary cup through the Yelp Elite event. I will definitely be coming back to try the cocktail menu and other dishes available! read more

Right then; came here on the strength of the reviews over several other places in Albany. Pre-dinner drinks: I had the Old Fashioned (Rye) and it was very, very, good. So good, I had two. Starters/ appetizers: the cauliflower thing was delicious and the ban bun thing was even better - the pork was full of flavour and the bun/ veggies were perfectly balanced. The cauliflower had wa great twist in terms of the sauce loved it. Main course: I had the filet mignon (cooked bleu) which was perfect. The bone marrow butter was insane, the roasted sprouts nicely done, and the mashed potatoes soft, and tasted great. Dessert: the Oreo thing and the chocolate cake; the Oreo thing is not what you'd expect, the batter takes it to another level. The cake was delicious. Special shout to Tim the on the door, gave us 'VIP' parking and set the tone for the evening, great bloke. What can they improve on? The decor. It needs more of a gastro pub feel in layout/ tables and maybe less music. However, the food stands out on its own. Top marks. read more
