Okay so this particular establishment is currently doing a Yelp experience which I will be…read moreparticipating in 4 days from now, but I wanted to sneak in early kind of incognito more or less just a check the place out as a random everyday customer. First off it was super easy to find, I was a little disappointed because there wasn't very much parking out front however once I went in and saw that there was a back door with a huge parking lot, yeah I got over that pretty quick. It's a small little coffee shop, I think there was maybe five or six tables in a dining area, a couple of tables on the sidewalk out front, and a small counter in the back with three people very busily working making the espressos and the cappuccinos etc.. I didn't catch the name but the lady I was talking to behind the counter was very pleasant, and seemed like she actually enjoyed being there which I'm saying because a lot of places I go you can tell with the people that work there are just in a bad mood maybe they don't want to be where they're at.. she seemed like she was enjoying herself. (If that makes any sense at all) They have a very small selection of pastries and donuts and stuff on the counter, I kind of expected it to be a little larger and the girl and I were talking about it she said that another hour from now they will get a delivery even though there will be more stuff it'll all still fit in that little display case. I mean it's not a bad thing, they mainly serve the caffeinated things, these are just little pastries to go with it, not like I was at a donut shop... I grabbed a few macaroons, a pistachio muffin and a little coconut pie thingy. I haven't tried any of it yet but it definitely looked good, then I'm going to go on the assumption that it is, so if I don't come back and update this, everything tasted wonderful. The place itself was super clean inside, very well lit, and like I said everybody seem to be having a good time. The only thing I could maybe count as a downside is that for what I purchased, without tasting anything yet, seemed a bit pricey... However... My business brain sometimes kicks in and I can imagine how much it cost to rent that little corner of that building, in New Hartford New York which is a buried decent upscale section to be in for that area plus they're overhead, and the amount of product that they could possibly move being a smaller store so yeah with all that, the price is what it is. I'll definitely come back, in fact I'll come back in 4 days because I'm participating in the Yelp experience thing, and I'm looking forward to it. Some of the drinks I was watching them make looked rather delicious.

We ordered a Lavender Haze Latte, Pistachio Matcha, and a Lemon Pustie. It was my first time trying a pustie, and it was very soft and delicious.

Lucky Dog Bistro in Clinton is a welcome addition to the local dining scene, much less stuffy than…read moretheir neighbors. The owner-operator is warm, engaging, and genuinely interested in guest feedback, which creates a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. One of the highlights was the wine list. While small, it is thoughtfully curated, offering an interesting and worldly selection. The menu is eclectic, featuring a mix of Italian-inspired dishes alongside American favorites. While the variety is appealing, the restaurant may benefit from further refining its culinary identity as it continues to evolve. During our visit, we ordered the Baked Cavatelli, Chicken Caprese, and Osso Buco. Of the dishes we sampled, the Chicken Caprese was the standout, with excellent flavor, balance, and execution. The décor is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, creating an inviting and comfortable setting. Service was attentive throughout the meal. Our server was relatively new and still developing confidence with wine service, but was enthusiastic, eager to please, and genuinely focused on providing a positive experience. Overall, the food shows a great deal of promise. There are a few areas that could benefit from further refinement, but this feels very much like a restaurant on the rise. The concept is strong, the location is excellent, and most importantly, the passion and commitment behind the business are evident.

There was a spiral staircase that leads to a few more additional seatings. It looks like they get more to go orders. You order at the register and your name gets called. I ordered the "Ham & Fig" and coffee (they used Utica Coffee Company). The sandwich was delicious, I love the sweet and savory aspect (I love fig jam). It was accompanied by kettle chips, the size of the sandwich was filling. My friends had ordered a : "Chipotle", "Club", "Caprese" and "Veggie Hummus". It seems like everyone enjoyed their sandwich since all plates were cleared lol. The sandwiches were simple but delicious and service was friendly.
