Hostess was excellent, we were seated promptly. Shortly after sitting our waiter came over and introduced himself. Unfortunately our table was in direct sunlight and we asked to be moved, which was done very quickly and without fuss. Our new waiter was obviously getting the run around from a near by table. But he made every effort to get us back on track. Atmosphere was AWESOME and everyone working was super friendly

The food was decent but once we were seated, the waitress only asked what we wanted to drink. She never came back for any food orders. A gentlemen waiter who was clearing tables took our food order. While the current waitress for our table was busy staying w/ a bigger table that was drinking and still avoiding us, just looked at our table but never asked if there was anything we needed. Another waitress had to take over to give us our check.

We had a wonderful experience. A definite improvement over an earlier track visit. Weather was perfect, table service was excellent and the wine and cheese board enhanced our enjoyment of the races. I think the food could be better. It’s not as good nor consistent as previous years. Our lobster bisque was returned as inedible and other guests were overheard complaining about the poor quality of the salads and sandwiches.

The food needs to get better. It is horrible when making reservations it is important to speak to someone rather than just on line.

Our first time to Saratoga Springs Race Track. Our server Sonia was very friendly, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. Will definitely be back. We had a wonderful day watching the races while nibbling on the charcuterie board and sipping wine.
