Smiths' Boathouse - Troy

"We decided to try this restaurant for the first time, mentioning when we made our reservations that it was our 50th anniversary. The salmon and steak were good, but our experience was marred by several issues. We were seated at a small table near a loud birthday group, which made it difficult to enjoy our meal. The service was slow, and we weren't provided with cutlery until we asked. No one offered us refills for our drinks, either. For the bill, which came to $67 for two meals, plus water and tea, we expected a better experience. On a positive note, the owner was pleasant and welcoming. However, the moral of the story is clear: avoid trying a new restaurant on a special occasion."
