A friend and I grabbed some apps to share for dinner. Good serving size. Very good flavor. Chef was willing to sub out some ingredients. Service was good! Nice and clean environment. Music was a little loud... but all good. Update- visit again yesterday with my kids. They're not super picky but they're kids... it can be hit or miss. They loved it! Especially the General Tso's chicken.

One of my favorite spots to eat! The curated menu doesn’t have a single dish that would disappoint. Great atmosphere that fuses classy with a hometown feel. It’s a place you could bring a date for an intimate meal or meet friends to watch the game. With so much going for this place, it’s no surprise that if you show up without a reservation you may have a more than reasonable wait to get a table. The wait won’t feel long because one of the owners greets every customer like she is welcoming you into her home. You may even get a hug! My clothing or salary have never been a problem here for me or any of my family and friends I’ve brought and will continue to bring.

As one reviewer mentioned, it’s unassuming from the outside, but pretty awesome on the inside. The bartender/server Halsey was super friendly and attentive. The food was very good! The Dion Lewis burger was arguably the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant.

Quite the hidden gem Restaurant 605 is. Close to St. Peters hospital and downtown Albany definitely a spot to try out. From outside the looks are not impressive but once inside, one realizes they made a good choice. A spacious modern cozy & contemporary setting you will find. It was difficult to choose what to eat because it all sounded good. I was more than pleased w/ my selection and the service here.

Each time I dine at 605 restaurant, I am consistently impressed by the exceptional food and service. The chef truly performs miracles in the kitchen, creating dishes that are bursting with flavor and expertly prepared(40oz Steak). Corey’s cocktails are also a highlight. The service is always top-notch, making for a truly enjoyable evening. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a dining experience that is both delicious and delightful.

Elevated sports bar. Visited during very busy hour, so there was a bit of wait even for bar. (~20mins) There's credit card fee, discounted if paid in cash.

After trying 605 Smash, I knew I had to check out Restaurant 605. The ambiance was exactly what you'd want in a cozy, pub-style spot—inviting, laid-back, and full of character. The waitress who helped us was super sweet, kind, and patient. We started with the Italian Garbage Bread, and wow—it was so delicious! Perfectly seasoned, cheesy, and crispy. All of my friends loved it. For my main, I went with the Double Don Marco Bacon Bleu 605 Signature Cheeseburger, loaded with Applewood bacon, bleu cheese, balsamic onion jam, garlic aioli, and mixed greens. It was incredibly flavorful, juicy, and perfectly balanced. The double patty was just the right size—thick and satisfying without being overwhelming. One of my friends ordered the triple and quickly regretted not sticking with the double, but hey, if you think you can handle it, go for it! My friends who ordered the Grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Cheddar Bacon Smokehouse, and Chicken Parm Sandwich were all thrilled with their meals. The fries? Also on point. I’d definitely visit Restaurant 605 again—great food, great service, and a laidback atmosphere that makes you want to come back for more!

We went in at 5:30 pm on Saturday and it was already packed we had to wait for a while. They don't take reservations unless it's a big group so you may want to avoid busy hours. The servers were nice and food came relatively fast. We had smash burgers and fried chicken sandwich. My husband really liked his burger but I thought mine was just ok. It's totally personal preference l would say. For casual dining this is ok place.

The burger and fries were really wonderful. The burger was cooked perfectly, and you could taste the care coming from the kitchen. It was the afternoon, so I can’t comment on noise levels. The beer was overpriced in my opinion. The service, while competent, was about as personable as a bag of lawn clippings. As the ‘face’ of the establishment, a bit of social engagement and repartee with the clientele seems appropriate. Not asking for a song and dance, but a “Hey, how are you doing today”?, with an attempt at a smile goes a long way in the service industry especially with people who aren’t ‘regulars’. The rest of the menu looked interesting, but I likely won’t return.

I’ve come to this restaurant 3 times and the first two times were okay. Today I went around 1:30pm the chicken bites were under seasoned and multiple other items were just not good. the calamari was tough and chewy, We took two bites and took everything else to go but calamari when asked “you don’t want this?” I said no it wasn’t not good today, it was tough. The response we got was “hmmm”. The customer service was poor. My only guess is quality is not the same at lunch times as it is for dinner but this whole experience ensured I will not be back

This restaurant had potential until it didn’t. If you want to be watched over 24/7 & to be treated like an adolescent, this is the place! Customer service, or should I say lack thereof, was beyond unacceptable. If a customer orders something & the product or item was not received. Why should they be charged? The manager & waiter Kris (Dark haired with glasses) took it upon themselves to fulfill their duty of beyond mid service & fully express how terrible at customer service they are. Never in life have I ever been disrespected and belittled like this at an establishment. Unprofessional business. xoxo!

I was siting eating when i noticed a woman walking in with a very small service dog. The "owner" susan ran to the door to make sure they didn't get in. Overhearing the owner say we have people in here who are fearful you can't come in. Mind you the bar/ restaurant had like 8 people in it. The woman with the service dog stated it is illegal for susan to do what she is doing and started to leave as well as stated she will report the restaurant. Susan started following the woman out the door saying why would you do that. In any event, i will not be supporting such a business and i will share what i had seen! ALSO THEY INCLUDE A SERVICE TIP FEE.

They will literally tell you that they can give you a chair on a corner to wait for your ride if you are done eating so they can give your table to soneone else after only spending one hour there. PS: no one was standing and there were free tables.Had to speak up and refuse to wait for my Uber 5 more minutes on my table. I was not from Albany and no one told me it is only card or cash until I finished eating. After explaining the situation to the manager she cut me off by raising her voice at me and just kept saying “NO, NO, NO!”until I insisted for her to let me finish my sentence and tell her that I have the card info on my phone she can manually type it on the POS. For her to then say “okay, I’ll try!”. If you are not from Albany don’t you dare not know that restaurants don’t take Apple Pay in this place. Service could be better. The server was nice but the manager has attitude issues. Update: Their answer should tell anyone about how they treat customers. 10% tips was only by goodwill and courtesy seeing how your manager shouted at me, because tipping should reflect customer satisfactionon service received. Tipping is also not mandatory by the way. Oh it is 2025! Businesses should be run by younger managers, they understand better how the world is developing. They know that payment methods should be flexible and that Apple Pay only makes a business more flexible and makes customer experience easier.
