We met friends for dinner at Cleome with very high expectations due to lots of positive chatter…read moreabout it. The bar area and wall garden are extremely cool. It's a fairly small space so definitely make reservations if you're planning on going during busier dinner hours. Service was decent - it was a little confusing and disjointed at times but I chalked that up to some inexperience (the server seemed a bit green) and that it's a fairly new restaurant. We had read somewhere that it was small plates - more like tapas...but then was explained that it's "family style". This is what caused said confusion at the table since "family style" to the four of us meant large, sharable portions. So, we just ordered a bunch of stuff in waves since we didn't really know how much food we were going to need. Some items arrived quickly, others took a very long time. Standout dishes to me were the Brussels sprouts and the apple cobbler dessert (which I just had a little taste of). I found some of the accompanying crackers odd - I think they were Ritz brand or something like that? We did request a few gluten free crackers and were brought a few. The swordfish was on the dry side - that's a tricky protein to get right. The fried chicken was served as cutlets - so some of the items were more difficult to share vs. others. The shrimp salad cups were somewhat unremarkable and a bit too loaded with mayo (in my opinion). The shishito peppers were nice - I think I was the one at the table that enjoyed those the most. We did linger at our table for a long time - a combination of wait times and good conversation with friends. We never felt rushed or pressured to leave (there wasn't a wait or line for tables). All in all, we had a nice time at Cleome and will likely give it another try at some point - now that we know what to expect

Three entrees: Tried the Lobster Mac and Cheese again and it was MUCH better than previously reported! That was great as was the fried chicken- soooo good. My burger unfortunately didn't arrive until after everyone else at the table was done with their meals. Oh bother.... it tasted meh and it's clear they are using a very low fat ground beef which made the burger more like a tasteless hockey puck. Still, everything else was wonderful and the background music was audible and made the experience even better. The Egg nog cocktail we had at another visit a few days before was delish. Despite my burger, we were please with our experience. I can only hope that they reconsider their low fat ground beef for something a little more tasty and juicy. Recommended.

My mom and I had high hopes for this being a new go-to spot based on the menu. The space itself is…read moreclean and bright. The velvety couches weren't the most comfortable and felt too far from our table. I ordered the crab cake and my mom got a pasta dish. We started with the bread. The bread was actually extremely thick toast, which had an unpleasant greasy flavor and was very hard. My mom's pasta was overwhelmed with crushed red pepper but had no other flavor. The crab cake was fine, nothing memorable. It unfortunately sat on top of a piece of the greasy toast. The entrees were hot and properly prepared. The bread was removed from our check. We also didn't like that a 2% sustainability fee is added to the check or that there was an option to gift $10 as appreciation for the kitchen staff. The prices for lunch are already on the high side and it just had a weird vibe to have add ons for additional money beyond a tip.

I was initially under the impression this would be a whiskey bar, but it is more of a speakeasy cocktail bar. The atmosphere is just right for that. There isn't a list of bourbons/whiskies, from which you might select pours, but the wide variety of bottles are readily visible from the bar and nearby tables. The focus here is on the crafted cocktails. Not only are they good, but they are SMOKY. The majority of their crafted cocktails feature smoke of some type, and your drink is smoked right in front of you. I went with Rosemary's Baby, which was a variety of Old Fashioned infused with smoke from a large sprig of rosemary. This is a great addition to downtown Glens Falls, and someplace I'd definitely visit on return trips.

We stopped in (had eaten there before) and prepared ourselves for a sure to be delicious meal. They have a fun frequently changing menu of small, medium and large plates so you can choose your own foodie adventure. If you want to sit at the bar you get a great view of the chefs at work preparing your meal. If you want a cozier experience, sit in the comfortable seating in the rear of the restaurant. Our server was very attentive but chill and knowledgeable. We got the Utica greens to share as an appetizer, a cocktail and Mad Max local beer, then a burger with hand cut fries and a chicken stuffed poblano. Dessert was a passion fruit chocolate tart which we took to go. If you're looking for well crafted food with a creative twist, this place is a great choice. North country friendly and approachable with a sophisticated set of offerings. Some really unique cocktails too. Not a boring thing on the menu.

Service was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Taylor was one of the best servers we've had in a long time. Everything is made fresh daily, and if you sit at the Chef's Counter, you'll see it first hand. You'll also get great descriptions of everything from the awesome Chefs and maybe get to try something extra too. I recommend using the reservation system on their website and specify your seating preferences. You can choose from the Chef's Counter, the bar, a high-top table, a low table, or an outdoor table (weather permitting). We also appreciated them asking about food allergies on the reservation system too and they verified it when we arrived. We were so impressed with the unique menu options that are offered in the appetizers, small shareable plates, main courses, desserts, and drinks. We are already planning on coming back Sunday for brunch and know we'll be back again soon for dinner.

I can…read moreunderstand the last five since COVID, but the food and beers available have always been so reliably enjoyable it just surprises me we missed out on the other five years. This visit was once again right up there with all the previous ones. Everything was solid good - service, food, and beer. I had no hesitation in deciding to order a Left Hand Milk Stout draft ($8.50) before I even looked at the food menu. My wife had a Club Soda ($3.45). She also chose the wood fired Di Parma Pizza ($18.53) topped with arugula, prosciutto, parmesan, and a balsamic glaze. I got to try it also the next day since half of it came home with us. It was quite tasty. I felt like having a burger and went with the Smokehouse Burger ($17.50). It was so nice to have our server ask me how I wanted it cooked. The kitchen served it a little less than the medium rare that I requested, but I'm generally shy about asking for rare so, I was quite pleased with the level of doneness. The patty was actually very lightly compressed which was a nice throwback from the smash burger style that has become more popular in recent years. The toppings of fried onions, grilled jalapeño, smoked mozzarella, and BBQ sauce added delicious flavors, texture, and umami. Totally enjoyable! We were so happy to revisit DTCT.

Winner winner....BBQ dinner. I have to start by saying that the smoked turkey here is the best I've…read moreever had; I'll go back just for the turkey. But we had way more than that and everything was high quality BBQ. These folks know what they're doing. We didn't get a chance to sample the ribs since they had sold out (which was a good sign). The burnt ends (I believe they were pork belly) made one of my friends go insane (he was a very happy boy). Wings were excellent and I loved the cornbread. Other sides included Mac and cheese and slaw...everything was high quality. Brisket - super tender and full of flavor. For most of the bbq stuff, go to the counter to order and pay for it there...then bring it back to the table. There's also wait staff that will take your order for drinks and other items on the menu (like the wings or if you want fries or other bar type food). That's all just a little different, but it's a cool, casual place. I have friends that were there during brunch and the bloody Mary's are insane....they're basically a meal piled up on a glass of tomato juice/vodka. I need to get back there to try one of those.
