This was such a delicious place! The food blew us away. Only shame was that we were sitting outside because of our dog and it was really cold and sadly the Wolfe had no blankets but understandable in the middle of summer. Will definitely coming back here again. This is such a cool place to visit. The staff we’re really lovely and heaps of parking nearby.

From the minute you walk in the atmosphere is great. Nicely decorated and bright. The service is great. And the food!!! We had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was PERFECTLY brined and fried. Melted in your mouth. The waffle was excellent. The other dish was the Coupe De Ville. Also excellent and the spice level was perfect. Well worth the trip.

Hidden Gem in Albany. I think that’s the perfect way to describe this place. My wife and I went here for dinner last night, we werent sure what we were getting into walking up to the place (fyi there is parking behind the building). It looked a little bland from the outside, but when we walked in man were we shocked.

We wanted to try some place different from our usual eateries, and I’m so glad we picked this restaurant! Delicious food, good service and great decor. We will definitely be going more often. The prices were pretty decent too!

The atmosphere of this restaurant was definitely beyond words. Very comfortable, classy, tasteful, warm, and very rustic. Our waitress for the night was amazing, very funny, attentative, informative & very willing to make sure everyone in our party was accommodated as we had some allergies / food sensitivities. The waitress was very informative with every aspect of it and made sure everyone was happy!

Stopped in on a road trip. Wish we lived closer. Charming place. Lovely staff. Great kitchen. The deviled eggs contained magic, and the brine did special things to the fried chicken.

Turned out the brunch joint we were hoping to find open wasn’t, and Google recommended Cuckoo’s Nest based on my love of a restaurant in Buffalo. WHAT A GREAT FIND!

This place was amazing! They had great customer service , much better than most restaurants. Rachael, the manager, was fantastic and really made us feel welcome. The decor was beautiful and you could tell they wanted to make everyone feel special with just the feel of this place. The food was amazing! My 10 year old said the chicken was the best he’d ever had! I highly recommend trying it out!

Ah, this place is great – chicken & waffles for me, and the red snapper w/saffron risotto for hubby… delicious!! Didn’t make a reservation so we had to sit at the bar, but I’ll know better next time… though sitting at the bar to eat is not bad either. YUM
