   First time dining experience on Christmas Eve 2024. Absolutely phenominal from start to finish! We picked our table from what was available even! What a nice touch?! Our cocktails exhibited a perfect mixologist expertise and brought promptly to our table. We started with the calamari and shrimp and the arancini appetizers which were delicious, followed by our entrees, the salmon over spaghetti squash and fettucine alfredo. Everything tasted amazing with exact seasoning, temperature and presentation. We were quite blown away by the whole experience in the restaurant. We took home our desserts and weren't as excited about them, however, we will definitely be back for another date of dining in the near future!

   On a busy night, service was attentive and efficient. Pork chop was excellent. Salmon over spaghetti squash was also a winner.

   Food and service were excellent. Unfortunately, for awhile at 1:30 we were the only people there. They are having a dry smell for lunch. Our waitperson was very attentive and also was the bartender and the drinks were excellent.

   We had reservations for 6pm and arrived at 550. There was one large party of about 15 and two other tables occupied. We were seated promptly. The waitress delivered us the menus and came back wothin 5 min to take our drinks orders. We informed her we were ready to order as well. We ordered the meatballs al forno for an app and shrimp ragu and tre mer li for dinner. As we enjoyed our wine the restaurant became busier and another couple was seated next to us. They two ordered drinks and dinner. Patiently we waited for our app as we saw our neighbors receive their dinner. Finally at 620 our app came our - it was warn but not hot and we were hungry so we finished them quickly. We then waited again patiently for our dinner while the table who arrived after us paid their bill and left. Around 645 our dinners finally came out, on e again warm even thought the waitress used a towel . We finished rather quickly and at 7pm was presented with the dessert menu. I figured dessert is usually quick, and how long could the ricotta zeppoli take. Well ny 715 we asked for our dessert to go, it was the first time we said anything and she stated “I just yelled at them back there’. Food was mediocre to say the least and it was pricey. And by the way another group was seated next to us where the previous patrons were and they were already eating their appetizer and enjoying their drinks with 15 min of being seated

   The food was delicious. Our server was lovely, but the appetizers came out with the dinners, and timing was off. Drinks took a long time to get to the table.

   The "Ritz on Union" in Schenectady reminds me of a typical NYC small restaurant. Nice breezy decor and a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. My wife and I went with a couple of friends for lunch and sat at a nice double table at the back of the restaurant. Good, but small menu. I had an appetizer of mussels in a broth with crostini - delicious. My wife had the eggplant parmigiana - she also thought hers was wonderful. I tasted it and it was. Food prices were very reasonable. Service was excellent. The one negative were the wine prices - I paid $12 for a medium size glass of sauvignon blanc.

    We went there to celebrate our friend’s retirement after seeing a show at Proctor’s. The ambiance was wonderful and our waiter Shane took great care of us. The food was delicious and Shane sang for my friend who was retiring. The dessert came out with candles on it. I will definitely be returning!
