Thank you, Monica, for the worst restaurant experience we have ever had. I would say worst dining experience, but we actually weren’t able to get anything to eat anything. Arrived 7:15-ish, the bar area was maybe half full. After a few minutes we got menus & water, which was dribbled across both our legs as it was set down on... More

I got to Justin's at 9pm Sunday night. The bartender Ulysses was doing a great job bartending and sharing great Muddy Waters tracks from his iPod. I ordered food and when things got noisy in the bar due to some party goers and moved into the restaurant the adjoinjng Savoy room. I had an eggplant starter to die for and... More

We went for an early dinner on a Friday night and, frankly, were not impressed. We were seated immediately in the dining room; a room that could use a little updating and lots more heat. The martini was pleasant, but not memorable. The waitress brought out rolls with a flavored butter. The flavor of the butter was odd and left... More

Saturday night is certainly a tough time to get last minute early evening reservations; my wife and I are glad we did. The food was good portions were a bit big, wine selection was plentiful. Overall, a nice experience.

Had lunch and sat next to the fireplace on a cold February day in Albany. Bloody Mary's were spicy and delicious. Lunch was very good. Pasta salad as a side was a hit. Jamaican Jerk Chicken sandwich was really good. Nice jazz music was piped in and sitting next to the fireplace made for a very cozy and warm lunch... More

Went there for brunch this past Sunday and it has to be the best breakfast I ever had. A tad on the pricey side but there was a lot of food and terrific music entertainment by Nat Phipps. All of it equalled to a great value IMHO. The only downer was our young waitress really seemed to have an attitude,... More

I have just gone to Justin's once with my husband for a late dinner. I couldn't believe the cheezy amount of food you got on your plate for the hefty price. It was cold in there and the service was very poor. Never again...

I just love this place. They play hip music that verges on being hip-ster. It has a big dining room in the back, although I spend most of my time at the bar. The food is some of the best you'll find in Albany. Anything on the specials board is going to be a hit; but, expect it to be... More

I've been going to Justin's for the Jazz for years but only recently discovered the food is just as good! Great atmosphere and decent prices- an exceptionally good date-night. Don't miss Sunday morning Jazz brunch!
