Every step of the evening was amazing. Between the food choices to portion sizes. The service the prices the drinks. Everything was beyond amazing. Highly recommend this place for an amazing experience. I wish I thought to take better photos but I enjoyed my date and the environment too much to remember to take out my phone! I will attach the one of my almost finished cocktail (which it should be noted the craft drinks are amazing!) I will also add the one of my very satisfied date who reminded me photos help reviews (also huge shout out to Molly for being the perfect server as well as the rest of the staff who went above and beyond) It should also be noted the specials are definitely worth checking out! And the desert trio was beyond perfect!

Called the place later in the evening on Friday and was able to get a table. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, the staff courteous and attentive. I ordered the soup special, curry butternut squash and roasted beet salad with a piece of salmon. The soup was very nice though I did not try to eat the hot red peppers in it- the salad was very nice as well and the salmon was fully cooked as I had asked and was not dry which was a nice surprise. All and all a great experience- highly recommend

I’ve been here several times. Everything about it is great. Specials, appetizers, wine selection, bourbons, dinner entrees, desserts, service.. all great. Jeremy behind the bar… awesome. Four of us were seated immediately with a reservation, which I highly recommend. Water kept coming. Menus arrived quickly. We started with pulled pork kimchi egg rolls and calamari. The calamari is not breaded. It comes with a nice sauce containing chickpeas. Definitely one of my favorite calamari dishes. I tried the sweet potato soup that has pecans and spinach (I believe). The servers description was much better. Nevertheless, the soup was delicious. I also had the strip steak. It was cooked to temp and well seasoned. I got hand cut fries and spinach for sides. We shared 🙂 Great place.

Excellent dinner in a cool little town. Our first time in Balston Spa and Next Door Kitchen should be a go to. Reservations are not easy to get, so we gambled on sitting at the bar and it was a home run. Service was perfect and the barkeep was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and very personable. We enjoyed a couple of their specials and all were fantastic. Nice place and highly recommended!

One of my favorite local restaurants! The chefs creations are always so innovative and flavorful! The pineapple margarita, crab and ricotta fritters, shrimp and corn bisque, watermelon feta salad, and of course the best fried chicken all pictured below were amazing! We’ve never had a bad meal here. Thank you NDK!

Absolutely lovely. My sister took me for dinner here Thursday night. She spoke highly of one of the servers Booey she had in the past and we luckily got him again! His service elevated our already phenomenal meal. We enjoyed cocktails and mocktails, well thought out and seasoned entrees using seasonal produce and divine desserts. I recommend the cider donut bread pudding in particular. It was a seasonal dessert that was so good they added it permanently to the menu and with good reason! It feels like a northeastern hug. Exactly the kind of dessert you want on a crisp evening in autumn. The atmosphere is also quite lovely and we felt our meal was paced well start to finish. Would absolutely recommend.

A great local gem. Great food on the higher price end but NOT overpriced for the fantastic quality. Good place for a higher end date night. Menu changes often and varies to the high quality seasonal ingredients available. Bar selection is outstanding including the deep bench of bourbons.

My husband and I each had a drink, appetizer, entree and dessert. It was worth every penny. I had the fried chicken which was very good!

Whiskey selection is unlike anything Ive ever seen. They also had a 0 proof menu which I LOVE as im on a sober journey. A little small but adorable. It smells amazing inside. We got brown butter brussels, pan roasted salmon and the bucatini trout. The brussels came with crispy shallots and a delicious miso glaze. My salmon was cooked to a perfect medium and came with leek puree, lentils, pickled radish and micro greens. It was life changing! My husband moaned over his whiskey flight and his trout. Our server Booey started us off with two chef samples of a sweet potatoes puree with pecan and some fresh foccocia with a white bean spread. Booey was so helpful and had a great sense of humor. We will be back again and again!

You must sit at the bar on a night when Chris is working! Definitely try his espresso martini at some point during your visit. He made the whole experience top notch. The food is impeccable, especially for those who have gluten allergies. The chef takes extra care to ensure celiac-friendly ingredients.
