Myself and my daughter went here because we were in the mall and had tried the other restaurants already and wanted something different. Seems if you are not male the wait staff isn't that friendly, although maybe it was just our servers. Food was ok, not great, not worth going back again for any time soon.

So, we happened upon this place because it was just a couple minutes from our hotel in a small shopping center (Stuyvesant Plaza). It was pouring rain, so we were not able to sit outside, but I can see where that would be very nice. We had lunch there, sandwiches, and they were great. Not a chain, so that was nice for a change. We will return on our next visit to Albany in a few weeks.

Went for burgers on the recommendation of some medical school students, and although they weren't as great as some burgers we get here in San Francisco, they were ok. It's not the kind of place I'd go back to, but students seem to congregate there so it must have something. Going back to Albany in a couple weeks, but have no plans on returning to this place.

Well, this restaurant is still in business in the Crossgates Mall, and still busy as it's a pretty popular place, but I was not that impressed. I was in Albany for a week and happened on this restaurant as it's in a huge shopping center. There is a food court, and a few other choices. The service was ok, not great, and the food was mediocre. I doubt we will go back when we are in Albany in a few weeks again.

Recently went here for lunch with my daughter. We had a waitress who was not Italian and who could not speak or understand English that well, and she did not do a good job. She spilled water onto our bread while pouring it and even though we asked her to replace it, she never did. That was just one of many mistakes she made. With that said, the food was ok. We started out with an appetizer of bruscheta which was actually quite good. I ordered the eggplant parmesean, and although it was good, it did not taste very Italian. The sauce was bland. My daughter had the chicken canneloni and she said it tasted as if chicken salad were stuffed inside of it, and not very good chicken salad. I doubt we will return. There are tons of restaurants on Burlingame Avenue to choose from.

This is a fabulous place to go for drinks and appetizers. They have every drink imaginable, and the appetizers are the best around. We tend to skip the dinner because the appetizers are filling and excellent, but if the restaurant is really crowded you can order from the full menu in the bar and eat there. They have plenty of tables and it's quite comfortable. The dinners here are good also, expensive, and not quite as good as some steak/fish places in SF, but comparable, also comparable in price. There is ample free parking which is a plus, and the views of the bay are delightful. Service has always been very good here also. It's not cheap though, so if you are looking for inexpensive, this is not the place for you.

This is a wonderful little restaurant close to Fillmore Street in San Francisco. I discovered it about 6 years ago, and whenever I am in the neighborhood I go there to eat. Everything on the menu is good here from the cheeseburger (one of the best I've had) to appetizers, salads, and entrees. They are large portions, cooked exactly how you like them. The chocolate mousse is one of the best I've tried. The prices are reasonable for the quality of food. I recommend this place highly. Try breakfast or brunch there too..you can't go wrong!

This restaurant is great! Had a birthday dinner here recently and for some reason they kept getting our order wrong (very unlike this place). Anyway, to make a long story short they said they would adjust the bill, and adjust they did! The whole dinner, from cocktails to dessert was on the house! We didn't expect it, but that's the mark of a great restaurant. We have gone there often and will continue to go there because of how we were treated. Besides that, the food is always good...portions are ample and you never go away hungry. The burgers and steaks are great, along with so many other things. It's very crowded on the weekends, so reservations are required, well, they are most of the time. The bar is large, so have a drink, relax and wait for an enjoyable evening of food.

Down in LA for a college graduation and wanted to go somewhere special for dinner to celebrate. Ruth's Chris was FANTASTIC! From the moment we sat down to the moment we left the service was excellent. We ordered appetizers which were great. We had a party of 7 and we had drinks, wine, entrees, sides and dessets and the bill was around $700, but worth every mouthful. The steaks come on plates sizzling with butter which makes them extra delicious. The sides, from creamed spinach, asaparagus with hollandais sauce, sweet potatoes encrusted with pecans and au gratin potatoes were all marvelous. The desserts were good, but the winner in that category was the cheesecake. I recommend this restaurant highly if you want first class service, first class food and a totally enjoyable evening. There is street parking, but there is also a valet. We will definitely go again.

This Denny's is far better than Anderson's Pea Soup which is right across the highway on Highway 5. Driving down to the southern CA area we always seem to stop at this same Denny's for breakfast or lunch and it's always good. The service is fast, the food is Denny's food (not great, but not bad either) and it's a very convenient stop on the drive down or up Highway 5. Just across the way is Anderson's Pea Soup, but every time we have eaten there we have been very disappointed.

Ok, so it's a Marie Callender's, but it's a good one! The service at this particular restaurant is very good, the staff friendly and the food pretty good. We were there just last week and had everything from salads to burgers to desserts and everyone was satisfied..not one complaint. Soo..for a chain restaurant it's pretty consistent and pretty good. We'd definitely go again. The pies are always good here, as they are at all the chains of this restaurant.

Ok, so I was just down in LA in March and rated this place, but was there again mid June so felt the need to rate it again. This is my favorite deli in Los Angeles, and actually, in CA. Living in SF we have Max's, but LA has a few of which Canter's is, in my humble opinion, the best. I had potatoe pancakes, which were to die for. The matzah ball soup is better than any you can make and the sandwiches are big enough for two meals. The bakery is fantastic...we never leave to come back to SF without buying bagel chips and egg twist, and this last time we bought some sweets too. This place never disappoints. I recommend it highly.

This little cafe opened up just a week or so ago in the Westlake Shopping Center in Daly City. I went in and ordered the appetizer of Spanakopita and was pleasanty surprised by it's quality. I received 4 spanakopita, 8 little slices of pita bread, and three dipping sauces...well, one was hummus, one was a cucumber/sour cream mix and one was a hotter one, but I'm not sure what it was called. It cost $6.49 plus tax and I could not even finish it. It was great though and I'm anxious to go back and try some other menu items. They are apparently a chain type fast food place, but this is the first one I am aware of in the SF area.

This is yet another one of Max's restaurants in the SF area and it's great. It has the same menu as the others, something for every taste, and it's right across from the downtown theaters, so it's very convenient to go have dinner there before or after a performance. The desserts are to die for..my favorite being the Niagara Falls Cake, and their chicken matzah ball soup is divine. Every entree I've had here has been good, the service is good, but some waiters are better than others. I recommend this place to tourists all the time along with Max's Opera Plaza..both give you generous portions of good food.

Wonderful restaurant! Went last night for my Mom's birthday, and we were not disappointed. Our server, Kevin, was one of the best we have ever had...attentive, but not pretentious or overbearing. We shared an appetizer, the scallops, which were done to perfection. We had the filet mignon (excellent), the duck which I was told was the best she had ever eaten, and the prime rib pork chop which was also superb. Desserts were also exceptional. We had the 3 choices, one chocolate, one strawberry shortcake and one cheesecake and they were also presented beautifully and tasted great! Dinner is pricey, but so worth it as the food and service are excellent. I will definitely be going here again. Oh, two other things. There is a flat rate valet parking cost of $10 for dinner (reasonable) and if you have a reservation, they don't keep you waiting which is unheard of in SF!

Went for lunch here the other day and was very impressed with the wait service. They anticipate your every whim, which is quite nice. The food, although good, was not quite as good as some of the restaurants in San Francisco. I felt it was a bit overpriced for what I had, yet it was cooked well, just not very big portions. I don't know that I'd go again with all the wonderful choices in SF to choose from.

Wow, I see this restaurant has not been reviewed in a few years. I was just there, yesterday, May 17, 2006, and it still is as good as ever. I am not a fan of thin crust pizza, but now I think I'm a convert. The crust is excellent and the pizzas are delicious. I had an artichoke heart, feta cheese, sun dried tomatoe pizza and it was one of the best I've ever had. I shared a salad with someone which tasted like it was just out of someone's garden. Service was excellent, and there is street parking (meters that still give you 30 minutes for 25 cents...amazing). I'd recommend this place to anyone for a great meal!

Just had occasion to go to this restaurant a couple weeks ago in April, 2006. We happened upon it just by driving around and looking for somewhere to eat where there were not too many places. They do have free parking, so that was nice. We were all very hungry, ordering first soup, salads and garlic bread. They were all ok, but nothing to rave about. We had spaghetti (just ok), raviolis (just ok) and eggplant parmesean which was excellent. I guess coming from San Francisco and having all the wonderful Italian restaurants here I am a bit spoiled. This restaurant had a nice homey feel to it, was very casual and the service was good and the people very friendly. I would go back, perhaps.

Down in LA about two weeks ago and my son recommended this restaurant so we went. We were pleasantly surprised. We all had steaks of one variety or the other. I had a filet mignon which rivals most any I have had anywhere else. The "chocolate souffle" for dessert is excellent, as well as the cheesecake. Dinners include soup and salad which were both great. Service was excellent as well. Parking was ample. We went on a week night, so we had no wait, but I can imagine that on weekends this place gets busy, although it is a bit off the beaten path. We will definitely go to this restaurant on our next trip down to Los Angeles.

This is a great place! Shared a pot of tea (they have all kinds) and a fresh turkey sandwich served on foccachia bread which was excellent. There are a lot of coffees and teas to choose from, as well as a breakfast menu, desserts aplenty. It's a cafe/coffeehouse/teahouse with ample seating right on Wilshire Boulevard not far from UCLA. When we were there it was filled with what seemed to be a lot of students, people reading and just relaxing. Parking is $2.00 with validation which is great because there is no parking on the block where this is, and Wilshire is hard to park on anyway. It's a relaxing place to go to just chat and enjoy great food. I highly recommend it.
