- CCarrieNew York City •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI woke up this morning missing the experience of the night before. From my super tasty mocktail, the excellent and exciting flavor and feel of the champagne sorbet on my salty oysters, and every single bite that followed (beet salad with pickled onions, perfectly cooked, juicy surf and turf with crispy potato gratin) were marvelous. Finishing off the meal with chocolate crème brûlée...you can understand why I woke up wistful about the experience and eager to go go back for more soon!More infoCORAY KITCHENPrice: Expensive• Farm-to-table• Delmar•5

- EEricUpstate New York •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoOutstanding service; within 20 seconds of entering the very busy restaurant, someone offered to take our coats, and the experience that followed was fantastic. Only complaint was the noise level and proximity that parties were sat (very close), but totally understand that being an issue on Valentine’s Day.More infodp An American BrasseriePrice: Expensive• American• Albany•4.4
- OTOpenTable DinerAnchorage / Alaska •2 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoOverall, the bill was excellent. The ambience was incredible. The service was well developed and executed outstandingly. The only problem was it was Valentine’s Day and they did not have enough staff. We ended up waiting a half an hour for food and it was so unacceptable. I was gonna get dessert, but then I was just like it’s time to go and they asked me if I wanted to go, but I was just ready to be gone from that place but overall I had a wonderful time. I just wish the wait staff had more staff on being that it was Valentine’s Day.More infoYono's RestaurantPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Albany•4.9
- LLauraOrlando / Central Florida East •5 reviews4.0Dined on 7 Feb 2025Love the old-fashioned vibe of the Inn and dining areas. Service was very attentive. Food was simple. Flavors were good and ordinary, not amazing and unique. Ambiance made it very enjoyable.More infoThe Red Lion InnPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Stockbridge•4.5
