Saratoga

5 short months out... Any recommendations for a decent sit down dinner for opening day eve? Walking distance from Hampton Inn.

Prob pass on Sperry's. Have done Olde Bryant Inn last several years with varying degrees of success. Some in our group care to branch out.

On a sep. note discovered 9 Maple over off season. Not sure how I missed it for last 20 years or how it is during Track season, but thinking it is ideal for Thurs before opener.

Once ticket applications go out, I have to admit I get excited...

Across the street, if not for dinner than breakfast:

Thanks. Have walked by many times, never tried.

Scallions is good. So is Maestros.

Best restaurant in town closed...Beekman Street Bistro. Big loss.

How can a restaurant have sustainability in such a specialized area? Other than the core 8 weeks or so, it must be so tough for an operator.

Believe it or not there is more to the town than just a race track.

Used to stay up in Bolton Landing on Lake George when I worked at the Spa. Different situation up there than Saratoga, of course, but most of the restaurant/bar owners I talked to said they made all their money for the year between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and basically took the rest of the year off. Nice work if you can get it!

Scallions looks good...grilled cheese short rib sandwich? How did we miss this place? Walked past it 100 times. Still don't get why the food sucks in saratoga.
