Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Albany

Amazing food seating limited and loud restaurant; however, that can also shown to look to the quality of service and the deliciousness of the food served. Overall customer service was amazing and food was amazing. Not a big restaurant though.

Excellent service, great cocktails and bar, and very good menu with interesting ingredients (pomegranates! Quince!)

I am a regular at STK but it was the first time I brought a dog to the restaurant. I was able to enjoy happy hour here with my giant dog! The waiter even surprised my pup with a beef patty from the chef. Thank you for making my Monday night magical.

Excellent Food / service & ambience superb If u want a memorable evening with good food this is it. We were a party of 3 came for a early dinner at 5pm . It was fairly busy for Christmas Day dinner. Filled up more in the evening. We started our dinner with Prosecco wine followed with the salad & tomato soup Main orders we ordered 2 risotto very delicious, highly recommend it if you are or even not a vegetarian . And we had the Chicken, very delicious, sauce was great. Zino restaurant is in the 1910 hotel Shattuck it beckons charm & simple lines of beauty of past era but very modern variation. We had a great corner window seat & could admire the whole dinning room & view outside . I would come back to Zino. Whether it is for special occasions like Christmas dinner or even just regular dining . I would highly recommend it. Price was reasonable for the quality of food , the ambience was lovely & service very attentive. Thank you Zino Chef , kitchen crew& service staff for a excellent memorable Christmas dinner . Worth the price. Merry Christmas 2024 & A Happy Prosperous New year 2025 . Best wishes M

A great pre-theater option for light bites, sandwiches, and salads. Outside seating is nice mid- afternoon and service was wonderful.
