Staying at the Marriott across the street and stumbled into the downstairs bar area while looking for the sushi restaurant I’d found on Google. Was in for an adventure! Bartender Frank was super friendly and full of fun facts about Albany. Tried the Sashimi dinner and was very impressed by the sushi quality and the mochi dessert. Accidentally stumbled upon trivia night (political theme… it was tough!) and had a good time through that as well. Not at all how I pictured my Monday night going, but glad I took a chance on this place!

Ate at the bar downstairs and had some of the best chicken parm one can have. Delicious red sauce, cooked tenderly and topped with pesto sauce. I’d come again just for this but staff were also friendly and accommodating. The owners wife was kind enough to spend 10 minutes setting up her own personal phone to stream the Yankees game so we could watch, she went above and beyond.

Came in for a date night and everything was awesome! Jeff was our server/bartender and everything for the evening and checked with us in a timely manner and made sure everything was perfect. The owner also stopped by to check in which was really thoughtful. The lobster Mac was awesome and the sushi fresh and flavorful! Impressed my out of town boyfriend visiting from Texas. Awesome job to everyone tonight!

Went to the War Room for the first time last night. It was a great meal in a cool little spot downtown. The dining room is small and appointed with local and state-wide political memorabilia. Drinks bar downstairs, if you wanted to drop in for a quick cocktail.

Sushi is excellent and one of the best in the area. However their prices are pretty extreme, so I would say not worth the price unless it’s a special occasion.

Off the top rope in every regard! Robert Webb I am not a bot. I absolutely loved this tavern. They did the best they could serving a a party 40 when they only had one chef. The War Room is awesome and I strongly recommend them for anybody wanting to have a great time and plenty of great laughs, food, and drinks. The staff are the best!

Came here in April. Had drinks downstairs and it was amazing. Bartender was super attentive and friendly. Went here tonight (on a show night) for dinner. Service was terrible (and I am very aware everyone is short staffed). However being 2 blocks from the arena, you should staff accordingly. The server took our drink orders and we never saw him again. Whomever took our dinner order did not ask how the burger should be cooked, if there were any dietary restrictions etc. Burger was super salty (with no water refills) no dressing on the salad. We threw money in the table and left because no one came to check on us the entire meal. If the plate is barely touched, that should be a clue to check in. The couple next to us left after 30 minutes with only being greeted and given water. Again, I know everyone is short staffed but this was beyond that level. Again, food was very salty, dressing not gluten free but was never asked if there were restrictions. Sorry but will not return (and neither with the local couple next to us)

Best SERVICE and food the crab fritters are unbelievable along with the lobster roll I had fantastic. Food was hot and plentiful had leftovers for 2 dinners next day. The service was fantastic my server was. Polite courteous and pleasant the price was well worth it and the atmosphere of all the antique pictures is wonderful to remember the people.

If you love sushi, this is a must try. I thought i had the best sushi in the area until we tried here. It was so fresh, I was truly amazed. It was a slight wait while chef fresh prepared all the sushi but i didn’t mind at all because the quality was amazing. I will definitely be going back!
