This was our first visit and we already know that we will be back. When we made our original reservation it was to use a Groupon but then found out that our reservation was for the first night of Albany’s annual restaurant week. Dinner included an appetizer, entree and dessert for $25 per person. It was well worth it. We also ordered 2 different bottles of wine to accompany our meals off a nicely varied menu. Everything we had was well prepared, beautifully presented and delicious. We look forward to experiencing the full menu choices on our next visit. We do wish that the restaurant offered better parking options as they have no parking lot of their own and most parking options entail a significant walk to the restaurant which can be difficult for those with a disability.

Tucked in the back streets off State St near the Times Union Center. The restaurant is nicely decorated with nice wood paneled walls, and dark mirrors, and a few wine bottles and wine glasses. It was dimly lit with a chandelier and some wall sconces. It could be a somewhat romantic setting, though the seating was fairly close to others. The atmosphere reminded me of a cross between a study in a fancy house, the kind that would have a leather arm chair, and a speak easy. However, something about the decor seemed like it was only 80% of the way there but lacked some finishing touches.

La Serre is an institution in Albany. My fiancee and I hosted an engagement party/dinner there with family and everything was wonderful. The interior is beautiful with the classic elegance you only find in historic restaurants. The service was excellent. The food is always great – their menu has classic dishes with a mix of seafood, chicken, beef, vegetarian, with French and Italian influences.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here since we were having our wedding in downtown Albany and it was within walking distance from the hotel. They allowed us to use the private side room for our gathering. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. Everyone was very accommodating and we had a lovely evening.

Had seen several pretty negative reviews from Groupon customers, but I have to say, our experience there was excellent. The staff was friendly and polite (in spite of being very busy with a very large holiday party). We had no issue whatsoever with our Groupon deal. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is lovely. Dessert was extra delicious. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back again. No complaints at all!!

A lovely restaurant with classic French dishes. Don’t let the older style decor and formal setting turn you away from some delicious food. Went with some friends for restaurant week, and I do plan on returning. For date nights, family dinners, or just before a show or walk down town. Just off the beaten path, this place is a gem.

LaSerre never disappoints! Our server, John, was knowledgeable, courteous and attentive without being obtrusive and the food is always phenomenal from appetizer through dessert! We will continue to return. If you have never been there, treat yourself; you will NOT be disappointed!
