Had some after work cocktails and food with a friend and we were not disappointed. The decor is SUPER cute and service was prompt and friendly. We ordered a few appetizers and a main to share. Bang bang shrimp, pork belly bao buns, and the meatballs were delish! We also tried the short ribs main which was great, but the mashed potatoes fell a little flat. We had several cocktails, but our favorite was a special called a pumpkin pie martini- YUM.

A fun night out, cool atmosphere, but food wasn’t anything to write home about.

Beautiful new renovation to the upstairs of LAX. Modern atmosphere with delicious cocktails and large drink selection. The food was delicious, we got a bunch of apps to share. The pork belly bao buns were very petite and flavorful. Friendly service. Looking forward to going back.

One of my favorite places ❤️ you can’t go wrong with the beef short ribs, pesto gnocchi, charcuterie board, rigatoni, or the loaded potato soup everything is absolutely delicious!

Their food was decent but way overpriced. $23 for chicken fried rice that was mostly rice and $3 to add an egg (you can buy a dozen eggs for less than $3). Then they charged our table over $12 for using a credit card. Unreal… The waitress was inattentive as well, especially for a slow Saturday night. I had to get up and go to the bar to order drinks. Too many other restaurants in the area to visit. I also notice this place was pretty dead for prime seating time on a Saturday night… wonder why.

As I am already a die-hard fan of Lark Street Poké Bar and LAX, The Loft @205 completely adds the cherry on top. The Loft is nothing short of wonderful. Every single staff member treats their customers like family, especially Olivia. Olivia constantly has a smile on her face, takes care of all customers and knows how to make sure everyone is enjoying their time there to the fullest. The menu is filled with a variety of delights. Once the food hits the table, in a timely fashion might I add, the dish itself is nothing but colorful and tasteful. I have never had to send a meal back. If anything, I’ve ordered something different each time! The staff are all well versed in what each dish has to offer, making decisions on what to eat much easier for those who just can’t decide! The ambiance is wonderful accompanied by music to fit any occasion. Perfect location to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, date night, etc. This is by far my most favorite place Albany has to offer. Hats off to the owners, staff members and all those who contributed in building this wonderful addition to Lark Street.

We had a delicious dinner in this intimate and attractive space. A very interesting Italian-Asian fusion menu had a lot of interesting options to try, so choosing our entrees was tough! My drunken noodles were delicious and hubby was really happy with his seared salmon. We’ll be back!

Customer is always wrong at this place. So, great if you’re happy to take anything they put in front of you at $30-40 a plate and enjoy some gaslighting-with-a-smile in case of any misunderstanding (which can happen when descriptions are missing from the menu, standard plates aren’t prepared in a standard way, and your server isn’t informed). Cocktails were good, but yeah, can’t be providing diner-like service at those prices. “Pretentious” seems accurate based on our experience.
