As a parent, the first things I look for are cleanliness and safety, and this place excels at both. It is incredibly well-maintained, spotless, and designed in a way that lets the boys have a blast while I actually feel relaxed. The onsite cafe is also such a convenient touch--we always grab the boys smoothies for the ride home! What really sets this business apart, though, are the owners. Michael and his wife are some of the kindest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet. They truly care about the families coming through their doors and make you feel right at home every time. Wonderful people running a wonderful business--we can't recommend this place enough!"

I visited the Whistling Kettle in Ballston Spa for brunch with a couple of friends and had a mixed…read moreexperience. We arrived right when they opened at 10 a.m. and were seated immediately, which was great. We initially considered sitting inside, but the smell of eggs was so overwhelming/nauseating that we opted for outdoor seating instead. The patio was charming and cozy. The service was friendly, attentive, and one of the highlights of our visit. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. We all ordered the brunch tower, which included a "fruit salad" that consisted of squishy grapes, sour Granny Smith apple chunks, and canned mandarin oranges. The fruit tasted low quality and unappetizing, and I only managed a few bites. I also ordered the bananas foster crepe, which was severely overcooked. The crepe was so tough that I needed a knife to cut through it, and the texture was far from what I would expect from a crepe. Overall, while the service was pleasant and seating was prompt, the food quality left a lot to be desired, especially considering the price point.

Such a cute little café! They make their kombucha and other drinks in-house, which I loved. I…read moregrabbed a kombucha and it was delicious--it paired really well with the meal. I love smoked salmon, but I definitely underestimated my ability to handle wasabi! I thought the spread would mellow out the flavor a bit, but nope--the wasabi really lingers in your mouth and does not want to leave. I ended up wiping some of it off after a while because it was just too much for me. That said, the toast itself was so good--soft on the inside with the perfect crunch, and the salmon practically melts in your mouth. The whipped ricotta was even better! Overall, really enjoyed the food and the cute café atmosphere. Just go easy on the wasabi if you're not a fan of strong flavors!

I get it support local restaurants and the prices reflect the current wages blah blah. Service was very attentive and helpful. The seating in there has mostly 2s and a couple of 4 seaters. I thought it was odd when we walked in there with our baby in a car seat, they didn't offer to put him in a chair cuz I don't think there was a high chair. I woulda asked but home skillet was ktfo and I wasn't tryna awaken the beast. That isn't discrediting the service or this place at all. My 3 star is purely at a cost to quality standpoint. I found out that there's other towns that are like 15min drive with more diner options and I missed out on that.
