Nice restaurant

This place is seriously awesome. It's gorgeously designed and the food is a unique spin on Mexican street fare. The Pancho Lefty, a cold, slow-brewed coffee made with tequila, must be tasted to be believed.

Friendly, fast, good food

Poor/Rude Service Stopped in tonight (5/4/18) after the Little Steven show at The Palace for a quick bite to eat. Ordered a Standard Burger with Provolone cheese. The guy tending bar (tall, glasses, short hair) was attentive at first... until I requested water to drink with my meal. Was gonna leave him 10 bux at first, as the kitchen was about to close when I arrived. I worked in the service industry for years, so I try not to be ‘that guy.’ When I finished my meal, the establishment was not very busy. The gentleman tending the bar could plainly see that I was done, and awaiting the check, as I had begun tapping my credit card on the bar and looking around impatiently, due to his lack of attentiveness. Heck, I couldn't even get his attention to bring me napkins (try eating a burger without napkins; it gets messy) Instead, he made small talk with a patron at the other end of the bar, occasionally looking in my direction, intentionally keeping me waiting. He must have thought I would be a lousy tipper, based solely on my order and choice of beverage. I wound up waiting over 10 minutes for him to deliver my check while he casually chatted with the patron at the other end of the bar. From my years working in the service industry, I have learned that The Cardinal Rule is that the best tips often come from patrons whom you least expect it from. Although he rightfully deserved $0.00, I wound up tipping him over 35%. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction that his misguided assumptions about me were ‘right.’ Enjoy your night, Nick. I pity you. I will never patronize this establishment again, based upon your flip behavior and poor attitude. Ownership/management: I hope you take this review from a seasoned, former service industry employee seriously. Such a shame that Nick’s disrespectful behavior towards me resulted in a poor review for your establishment, for all to see

My fourth or fifth time there it gets better every time they added decorating and muisic to give a Thai atmosphere there food is u!!!!nbelievable the best kept secret in Albany on a side street

My food was great. The staff was friendly. The place was quiet and the TVs were actually playing some people like to watch.

Heaven.. Only problem is the owner is a jueventos fan lol... Amazing chicken marsala. The staff makes you feel like your at your itialian grandmother's house(heaven)

Always a pleasure. My favorite place for REAL authentic Mexican food. Friendly Staff, good service, delicious food.

Cannot say enough about the food. The steak melted in our mouths. The service and the food are excellent!!!

First off, the staff were beyond attentive. They all were super helpful and in my case probably the best service I have had in a restaurant! The food, though on the more pricy side, really worth it! My sister and I had the porterhouse for two! The steak was cooked perfectly! The roasted garlic was my favorite to add to the steak. I am not a big beef eater, but I would definitely recommend the porterhouse, medium rare! The side dishes were amazing! The mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful, but I have to say that the bacon steak with the brown sugar was the best menu item that my family ordered. If you want a vegetarian meal, this is not the place for you, but seafood and steak lovers please make a reservation now!!! You will not be disappointed! The desserts will blow your mind. We had the mount Vesuvius brownie. It was covered in whipped cream and fruit. Delicious! They also had live jazz music playing. And the atmosphere is very calm and family friendly. It was easy to talk to one another. They also offer private areas, and a valet parking service.

What more can I say the food is great and the atmosphere is amazing. Whether I'm sitting in the garden or inside the scenery is always beautiful. The Brunch is everything! Get the John Denver, don't ask questions just try it. The Brunch wait is typically 15-20 mins for small parties as its always busy , but its definitely worth the wait. This is my 8 year olds most requested spot, if you have a foodie on your hands your kid will enjoy Iron gate.

Always the healthier fast food option!

Excellent food, excellent service, you know it's good when you can tell the locals come here, great restaurant.

Dinner was excellent as well as the service. It was a great dinner. Food was excellent! Will definitely go here again.😚

the food is very good they have a lot of different variety's of foods.the only negative is how much fat and calories the food haves.other than that its a fun way to let your child eat what they want for once.

Lunch Buffets there are the best nice quiet atmosphere and great Vegetarian options too

Lively, not too loud music, floats through the air as I climb the few steps from street to seat. An old 12 panel windowed door provides a welcoming entrance. The place is buzzing but not too busy. They’re efficient, so I quickly get to the counter to place my order. I spot a spicy watermelon salad behind the glass as I’m getting ready to order my standard Reuben. I decide to add the watermelon salad to have something to eat while Reuben is being prepared. Salad and phone make excellent distractions for a guy who’s lived 63 years without learning patience. Finishing the last bite of the absolutely delicious watermelon salad I hear, “PETE”. Amazing, I expected a good 5-10 minutes of awkwardly fidgeting with my phone while waiting for the Rueben. I grab the tray with Reuben and side-salad and take a quick huge chomp. Delicious! Still surprised a meatless Reuben could taste this good. So satisfied with the entire meal I couldn’t resist grabbing a slice of the creamsicle cake for the road.

Great service and food.

Wow! Great food, wonderful service. Expensive, but I wasn't paying for this meal!

Always get my food in manner time
