I will start off by saying that this was a very enjoyable night out for my wife's and I first anniversary. We were the first ones in the restaurant and it was very quiet. People slowly started to fill in after. Very rustic on the interior and the staff were great to us. The food was very enjoyable although rather small portions. No bread or salad are included which is a bit of bummer. We also had a large number or fr... View all feedback.
What User doesn't like about Jack's Oyster House:
The service and food were outstanding. The ambience was odd because the place was almost empty due to COVID. Four of us ate at Jack's for dinner. One had never been, 2 had only been there once or twice and I had been there a half dozen times. We were all delighted with the drinks, wine, appetizers and dinner. View all feedback.
I'm just a girl sitting in front of a screen trying to find out how on Earth the tasting menu at Jack's checks. My answer: very, very literally. Buckle...
Extremely overpriced for wild little portions, and really no of the benefits of fine food. Just this experience was NOT WORTH IT. Left...
Jack 's has been one of our go to places for many, many years and we 've made a point of returning for Sunday brunch several times since things started to open again. Overall the food was very good, and the service continues to be excellent. The Oysters Rockefeller and other apps and salads were excellent. The burgers were overdone (two times we went) and offered no cheese alternatives to the Gruyere on the menu. The 'poutine ' was dried out. Clearly doesn 't work well if made earlier; need a starch you can make fresh or that works better re heated. Also the menu is missing several of the old favorites. I recognize there 's a new chef, but there are some things you expect from Jack 's after 100 years (or in my case, almost 50 years). Boat Chowder Maybe you can 't use the old recipe, but some kind of chowder on the brunch menu would be welcome, especially on a cold autumn day. Sandwich Something besides a burger for the non egg eaters (perhaps something akin to the 'Almost Famous ' beef, or perhaps a chicken). Fish something besides shell fish on the brunch menu would be great Boston style scrod has always been a classic Jack 's staple. I see there are several fish choices on the dinner menu, so it shouldn 't be a lift to include one of them in the brunch menu. I wish Jack 's and its employees the best during these difficult times.
Blown away by the brunch experience! Easily the best in the area!
We enjoyed a great meal at an Albany classic. I would highly recommend the strawberry cheesecake!
