They dont take reservations For less then groups of 5. 30 minutes wait for table. Extremely loud, unable to converse across table. Prime rib as expected, communal salad bar and bread station. 15+minute wait for check, paid cash didnt want the wait to process a card
2016/12/01Final night in the Albany area, and someone at the client office had suggested Barnsider, which was close to the hotel. It is a fairly large restaurant with several dining rooms. The decor of the restaurant definitely aligns with the name: the ceilings a lofted like you are inside a barn, and the wall paneling looks like barn board; a very rustic feel in an urban location. It looked like there were a couple of company holiday parties going on, and the restaurant was moderately busy, but my colleague and I were promptly seated. The menu featured the typical American suspects: steak, salads, pasta, seafood and more. All the entrees came with the salad bar and a side. I chose the Crab Stuffed Haddock (haddock fillet topped with crabmeat stuffing, lightly seasoned bread crumbs and hollandaise sauce). My main dish had a nice balance of crisp from the bread crumbs and soft from the flakey fish and crab. The hollandaise had a pleasant tang. My side of steamed vegetables were a bit overdone. I noticed that the servers were ladling the vegetables from a large crock pot on the counter beside the kitchen, which explained the lack of freshness. The service was very good. It was very much a team approach. While we did have a primary server, there were several people who looked after us. All of them were friendly and courteous.
My wife and I eat here occasionally, although I’m not sure why we don’t go more often. The food is always excellent and the service is the best. I had seafood this time, which is the first time because the beef is outstanding. Having said that the stuffed haddock was exceptional.
