Best Cozy Restaurants in Troy

Smith’s is a very good place to go for a bite to eat if you’re not looking aren’t looking for a quiet atmosphere. The atmosphere, especially in the lounge area with a fireplace and couches, is very much like an English pub. The menu is generally upscale pub food, with a nice variety of appetizers, soup/salad, sandwiches, interesting pizzas, and entrees. This time I chose the pizza with arugula and prosciutto, a very tasty combination. Others chose the hot honey chicken pizza, a marghereta pizza, a smashburger, and a soup/salad. They have a good selection of beers and cocktails too. The service was excellent, not only competent, but personable as well. Although we all enjoyed our food, the pizza crusts were a little too charred. Otherwise the rating would be 5 stars.

This was a delicious find! Thought I was going for the brunch menu but ended up being lunch, we were not disappointed. The soup of the day was amazing… garlic and parsnip puree, YUM. Filet sandwich w truffle fries were delish, my friend had goat cheese w apple and onion jam grilled cheese w butternut squash soup… also delish. Espresso martini was the perfect way to cap off a festive holiday get together. We will be back! Thank you for being fresh delicious food to Albany. We need more restaurants like this!

WOW! Loved the house made giant asparagus tortellinis with mushrooms & a beautiful white sauce. It was a special that night and I hope they have it again. I could eat that everyday. My guest had a veal dish that he was equally impressed with. I also had oysters on the half shell from ME & MA. Both very different. They managed to serve them with the oyster liquor and the best Mignotte I’ve ever tasted. I usually enjoy oysters with just a squeeze of lemon, but the mignotte was too good to pass up. Our server Skylar had great rhythm in his service and was great.

They were great with our table of 10! Friendly service, good food, delicious cocktails. They were very accommodating with cutting the birthday cake my friend brought.

Great service, great food. Will definitely go back.
