Dining Guide: January 2016

Posted onJanuary 8, 2016August 17, 2023

Tucked away in the village of Round
Lake, Lake Ridge is less than 15 minutes
from both Albany and Saratoga
Springs, just a half mile from the
Northway and even less from route 9.
Lake Ridge is a fine dining restaurant
with excellent food, great service and
an inviting ambiance, featuring three
dining rooms and a mahogany bar.

Groups can have lunch in the bright
and sunny Saratoga room. Or for a
business luncheon choose the more
private green room. Chef Scott Ringwood’s
lunch menu offers a wide variety
of entrees, salads, sandwiches and
burgers.

Lake Ridge is perfect for dinner,
whether it is enjoying an entrée favorite
or something on the expanded small
plate menu. The new American cuisine
consists of the freshest seafood, great
steaks including prime, veal, pastas
and a great selection of daily specials.

At Lake Ridge there is an extensive
wine menu to accompany any meal
along with a large beer selection and a
full bar. Martinis and specialty drinks are
plentiful. The Lake Ridge bar is stocked
with an abundant supply of over 30
scotches and 20 bourbons.

Lunch is served Tuesday through
Saturday 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Dinner
is served Tuesday through Sunday
starting at 4:30 p.m. The bar is open
daily from 11:30am until close.

One needn’t have a passport
to enter Boca Bistro at 384
Broadway in the heart of Saratoga
Springs, despite the authenticity of
its Spanish décor.

From the tapas to the churros,
Boca Bistro provides guests with
an unforgettable dining experience
that is rich in Mediterranean flavor.
A hand-carved wooden door,
200-year-old red brick walls and
copper ceiling panels are all part of
a mosaic that blends earthen and
distressed textures with stylistic
accents.

Boca Bistro’s main menu, created
by Executive Chef Rosalyn Zecchini,
is divided into three sections:
Tapas, Dinners and Desserts. Foods
prepared in small bite form at prices
ranging from $5 to $12 consist of
three main categories: Costas De
Picar (eaten with hands, such as
olives), Pinchos (requiring the use
of a utensil, such as rice) and Cazuelas
(served in a sauce, such as
meatballs).

The dinner menu draws attention
to the “ancestry, tradition and humble
origins” of Old World Spanish
dishes that were typically the result
of ingredients put together by peasants,
farmers or shepherd families,
with products from their own fields
and orchards. Dinner items range
from $6 to $22.

Traditional sweet Spanish desserts
– some influenced by the
Moors, others from recipes that can
be traced back to centuries-old nunneries
– are priced at $6 to $7.

Boca Bistro opens for dinner at
5 p.m. daily. A Happy Hour that
includes a specially selected tapas
menu takes place daily from 3 to 6
p.m. Tel. 682-2800

Gaffney’s was originally established
in 1978, and was bought and
renovated by its current owner, John
Baker in 1982. Over the three decades,
Gaffney’s has grown from one bar and
restaurant to two more additional bars,
with a large outside dining area and an
outdoor garden to relax, enjoy and listen
to music during the warmer seasons.

The restaurant menu consists of a
wide array of American cuisine as well
as many dishes from different cultures
and ethnic origins. Chef Kevin Myers
and his kitchen staff have fine-tuned
the menu over the past few years to
include dishes like the infamous New
Orleans Creole butter on a hand cut
14oz. NY Strip, Shrimp Saratoga, Pan
Fried Pork Tenderloin wrapped in bacon
with a maple glaze, and Saratoga’s most
scrumptious Burger with freshly sliced
fries cut on the premises.

Gaffney’s is one of the few establishments
that offers live music all year
round, and features some of the regions
most talented performers. From Blues
and Jazz to Rock and Motown Gaffney’s
has something for everyone’s taste.

It is open for lunch and dinner, as well
as a Sunday brunch. Its website is
www.gaffneysrestaurant.com. The
restaurant can be reached at 587-7359.
