Last night we had friends visit us that we haven't seen since before the pandemic started. We…read moreplanned a socially distant dinner in our backyard since we have all been pretty much living like hermits. They brought a box of assorted cakes and pastries from Lake George baking Company. I'll admit, I've never heard of this place before. We made our dessert selections and I had a slice of chocolate cake. An entire slice of chocolate cake. The whole thing. I couldn't stop myself. Perfectly rich, decadent and sweet without a hint of dryness in the cake. I haven't had a slice of cake in a really long time and this was worth every calorie. The eclair got rave reviews as did the brownie and the Napoleon. I tasted the cannoli and it was spot on. There are plenty of leftovers, so I will have a chance to taste a few more things this weekend. Everything was beautifully baked and attractive to look at. Happy to know about this place if I need delicious goodies to bring somewhere in the future.

The staff were incredibly friendly, greeting us with smiles on a busy Saturday morning. We tried the cinnamon twist, apple turnover, éclair, mini cannoli, and the apple cinnamon donut (which was our favorite). Everything was delicious, and we'll definitely be back soon!

Spargel On 9 - Pretzel Rolls

Five of us from the German-American Club of Albany NY had dinner here on Thursday July 30, 2026…read more Highly recommended by one of our party who had been here previously with other members of the GACA. Opened by Christian Rath in September 2023, it features dishes learned from his long career in food service. Spargel is the German word for Asparagus. This is a comprehensive tour of authentic German cusines from many regions of Germany. Just explore the menu options on the website. We started with a variety of Paulaner draft beers at the bar with the knowledgeable, Beau. Our server at our table was Kelly L. She was very helpful explaining the different dishes and provided excellent service. We started with two of their famous suppe (soup) - Spargelcremesuppe - gream of asparagus w/ garlic croutons ($8.50) and the most popular seasonal Cream of Yellow Chatrelle Mushroom Suppe w/ bacon & onion ($15.50). Unique to us and delicious. Dinners were trio of wild game sausages-wild boar, rabbit, & elk served w/homefries, red cabbage, & ligonberry sause ($34.50), Schweinelende-pan-seared pork tenderloins w/yellow chantrelle sauce, potato croquettes, and bacon wrapped green beans ($36.50), Gebratene Schweine Haxe-pork shank slow roasted with dunckel (dark) beer sauce w/ potato dumplings & sauerkraut ($35). The last dinner was the Bavarian Sampler Tour of German Cusine for Two - 12 items on this platter ($80). Our party of five could have shared this dish. It was Wunderbar! Spargel serves authentic & unique dinners along with the familiar such as Rouladen, Schnitzels, & Goulash. Desserts were creme brulee Grand Manier ($12.50) & apple strudel w/ warm vanilla sauce ($9.50). Their online menu is a must see before a visit. Outstanding meals & excellent service. Danke to Kelly L., Beau, Christian, and chefs. Open: Wednesday - Sunday: 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm Nick & Liz, Judy, Shannon & Todd GACA Albany, NY USA

Don't be deceived by the lack of totally booked time slots when reviewing their reservation listing…read moreonline. It does not mean the restaurant will not be busy if you arrive without a reservation or that you will have a choice of many vacant tables to sit at. This restaurant draws a crowd and deservingly so. Their parking lot had a lot of cars when we arrived on a Thursday evening around 6:15. Fortunately, we were quite agreeable to sitting at a booth in the bar area. The ambiance is warm and welcoming with a mixture of booths and tables in two separate dining areas separated by the bar with booths and high-tops. The staff are friendly, efficient, and their efforts to maintain a clean establishment is obvious from the wiping down of menus before handing them to you, the cleaning of booths and tables as they become vacant, and the cleanliness of the restrooms. The menu is lengthy with a good selection of classic German dishes and some that you may not be as familiar with. One page in the menu is devoted to specials that change weekly; another to the various German beers available; there is even a page with food more likely to keep children happy. While we perused the menu we had a bottle of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water ($10) and a half liter of Hacker-Pschorr Dark Weissbier ($10). While the beer was served "American cold" the flavors improved greatly once the temperature achieved "European cellar." Complimentary pretzel rolls were served with a slab of soft butter with hot honey. The rolls were fresh, warm, and delicious with the butter and honey. My wife ordered the Cream of Yellow Chantrelle Mushrooms Soup ($15.50) as her appetizer from the weekly features. It was a wonderfully flavorful and large portion. In fact, every item we ordered was an abundant serving. I chose the Backers mit Apfel Sauce ($10.50) [potato pancakes]. The three large crispy pancakes were not exactly like what I remember my mom making, and that I loved, but they were delicious. Both of us having eaten all of our appetizers, we probably could have considered ourselves satiated at this point. But we had eyed other entrées that we were anxious to try. My wife chose the Almond and Dijon mustard Encrusted Seawolf Filet ($34). It was served with butter potatoes and sauteed spinach. Seawolf is a mild flavored and light, yet firm textured fish, kind of a cross between cod and lobster. It was very tasty and went well with the potatoes and spinach. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try Rabbit Loin "Spargel" ($38.50). Here's what made this sound so inviting - boneless rabbit stuffed with asparagus and wrapped in applewood smoked bacon, pan seared and served on top of potato gnocchi in a creamy gorgonzola sauce with peppers and spring onions. YUM! How could I not try this. The stuffed rabbit seemed a little dry, but my wife reminded me that rabbits have very little fat. It really didn't matter. The creamy gorgonzola sauce was the perfect accompaniment to the hare and the softness of the gnocchi was a delightful textural addition. Thankfully, planning ahead to take some of our entrées home allowed us to still order dessert. My wife had the Apfel Strudel mit Schlag und Vanilla Sauce ($9.50). They additionally added a raspberry sauce to complement the pastry and vanilla. Overall, very tasty. I decided to try the Trio of Chocolate Mousse ($12.50) - again, a generous portion each of chocolate, vanilla, and nougat mousse. Each flavor was soooo rich and creamy. The whipped cream actually helped to cut some of the richness. I'm sure we'll be back to try some of the more traditional German food. Maybe we'll just share some apps.
