Had a special of the day. Pulled pork + poached eggs on a biscuit + home potatoes. Small serving vs price. Pulled pork seemed old and a tad on the sweet side. Eggs were done well. But the biscuit is worse if not equivalent to a grocery store packaged kind- not crispy or buttery at all- wasn’t even toasted. The home potatoes were over done. The food was warm and not hot. Considering it was a usual busy lunch day- I’d think the meal would come out freshly made but you can tell when fries has been sitting. Waiter was attentive and friendly. But waiting to order took longer than usual on a busy lunch day. Seems understaffed. Wouldn’t eat on a tight schedule.

Iron Gate is a lovely cafe right on Washington Ave near the Armory. It has a lovely patio, and great privacy from the world outside. They have a great selection of beverages. (I tried a "dirty chai tea) They have a wide selection of food, including several vegetarian option and many gluten free options. I had their handmade black bean burger, and the Iron Goddess salad. Both of were were delicious, satisfying and with portions good enough for left overs.

Probably my all time favorite breakfast spot in the capital region. The menu always has something new and appealing. And when I'm not in the mood to try something new, there is always the tried and true stuffed French toast- which is to die for!! They simply have the best mimosa, the best atmosphere, the best service. Every room in this restaurant is quaint and beautifully decorated. Also their newest addition to their patio seating is sweet and picturesque.

Delicious food; lots of variety on their menu whether you're looking for breakfast or lunch, and with high-quality ingredients you can't really go wrong no matter what you pick. The bacon on the sandwiches was crispy. Real maple syrup was served with the french toast. Service was good and organized even though it was busy, but I wouldn't eat here if I was short on time. Would visit again.

Absolutely amazing !! Wait time to get a table can be a while sometimes... first day I waited half hour. Second day I waited an hour... but it is worth the wait!!! Staff are amazing! Food is even more amazing ! Once you get a table though the food is ready rather quickly ... I went twice in one weekend, that's how good it is... whenever im back in Albany I'll be sure to visit again until I've tried everything...
