The best italian food in Saratoga and literally in our backyard. You will absolutely need a reservation here because this place is always full. You usually need to call at least a week in advance, but sometimes we get lucky and can get in by calling just a few days ahead. It is a cozy and casual atmosphere and the service is on point. It is run by a local couple. They have a varying menu on the chalkboard and also a staple menu. It is definitely more towards fine dining prices. You won’t be disappointed!

Great local restaurant with a huge diverse menu with all different types of food. Prices are reasonable. Can’t go wrong with this place. There is some outdoor seating. They don’t take reservations on Fridays and Saturdays and it gets packed, but you can grab a seat at the bar while you wait.

The meals here are always excellent. The menu has a french creole theme. You can always count on quality, local, farm-to-table ingredients. The decor is charming and the service is always great. The ambiance is really something special compared to other restaurants in the area. Prices are a little more upscale, but definitely worth it. They changed their restaurant to either cafe style or prix fixe menu, so check out their website!

A rotisserie chicken place that also does smoked meats and BBQ. Everything is great here, especially the chicken, but we have gotten the pork and brisket and it was just as good. We have never had a bad meal here and we eat here often. Their corn chowder is awesome, cornbread is some of the best I have ever had, rosemary potatoes are great. It is definitely a casual, low key atmosphere and prices are reasonable. Sometimes they have live acoustic music. The service is great, the chef always comes out to chat and see how your meal is. A great choice!

If you are looking for a fruit smoothie, smoothie bowl, or avocado toast check this place out. Their creations are delicious and refreshing. They have a unique offering on their menu but will customize anything for you. Fun marketing and vibe. You can order online and pickup if you wish.

Fun brewery with a nice atmosphere and small outdoor patio. The beer is really good (They won a bunch of awards in 2020) and they also offer wine and seltzers. They have a food menu as well; their deep dish pizza is really good! During the day, upstairs, they have a nice little cafe with food and coffee.

Saratoga lake restaurant and bar that has lots of indoor and outdoor seating. It is right on the edge of the lake. There are adirondack chairs on the beach where you can get served as well. It is an awesome hangout on a nice day. We have only eaten here a few times since it reopened following a fire, but the food has been good.

Dairy Haus is a few minutes drive away, but it is definitely worth it for a homemade ice cream. Soft serve and hard ice cream, amazing milk shakes and other creations. If you like ice cream (and we LOVE ice cream) this is your place.

Our go-to awesome breakfast and brunch place that is literally right around the corner. It is a small bakery that also serves a full, high quality, breakfast. The omelets are the best we have had in town and they also have great specials. It is a little more expensive than other breakfast places, but it is reflected in the quality of the meals. I recommend going early because there aren’t many tables so there can be a wait, but it is definitely worth it. They will text you when your table is ready, so you don't have to stay there and wait.

Delicious tacos and made-to-order donuts. Everything is really fresh and has great flavor. You can order online and unless they are swamped you can usually pick it up within 10 minutes. It is only a 5 minute walk from the apartment, if that! We get takeout here often.

If you like craft beer this is the best place to stop in near Caroline St. Awesome rotating selection, casual atmosphere, and big bar. The bartenders are friendly and the service is great. They have a shuffleboard table which is fun and they always have a fire going in the winter which makes it warm and cozy. Food is good and a little more expensive than some other comparable places. Go for the beer!

A fun spot to get a craft beer and meet some locals. There are lots beers on their rotating tap and they have a great selection of bottles you can take away. They usually have some snack items and have recently been allowed to seat guests on the sidewalks, so it can be fun. The place is pretty small and the atmosphere is friendly.

A fun dive that has all the bar games (pool, darts, foosball, pinball). It is definitely a little grungy, but we enjoy coming for the low key atmosphere and a fun evening of games. Cash only.

Yummy, unique cocktails and good selection of lesser known liquors. It is great if you can get a seat, but it is small so it can get crowded. They serve food but we have never tried it. The Gin Gin Fizz might be my favorite cocktail ever (but they are dangerous)!
