In Short – This voluminous building with high-vaulted rafters should be noisy and sterile. Instead, it's broken up with interior windows and Oriental-style carpets on the ground floor, resulting in a rough-hewn look that's comfortable. Aged steak fresh seafood and continental specialties keep this spot at the top of the Capital District's dinner list. Vegetables and dressings at the famous salad bar are fresh. Leave room for dessert like key-lime pie or Ghirardelli white and dark chocolate cake.

The place was frigid where we were seated. No offer was made to move us to another table, even though the place was empty save for a table of four. Tried to eat with our cumbersome winter coats, which proved to be impossible. Butter didnt even melt on our baked potatoes. Left with a hefty bill for uneaten food. Never again.
- Pros: there were none
- Cons: cold cold cold

Consistently Terrible

I had two bad experiences at the Barnsider. A couple of summers ago, I was served a completely un-chewable prime rib. I paid but came back the next day to talk to the manager. She said she thought she had comp'ed everybody who ordered rib. The cut of meat was so bad, she took the item off the menu by 8:00.
