Celebrated our 50th Anniversary with a family dinner for 30 people. Atmosphere was great, food was great and service was great. Was a little concerned when only one waitress was assigned to us but our waitress, Kim, was outstanding and handled it with no problem. Thanks for a memorable night.

Love this place! They were the only ones willing to accept take out orders in the Amsterdam area on Valentine’s Day. Ordering on the app was easy too. Thank you!

This place should not be missed from to the variety of dishes available to the generous portion sizes. The dishes we had were excellent the prime rib was spot on. Stop in and give them a try!

Sadly, I was here for a memorial luncheon. The food, service and atmosphere were great as always. My wife has many food sensitivities. We asked to talk to a manager in hopes that she could eat one on the luncheon selections. Instead, the staff listened to her limitations and provided a unique dish that she could eat. Highly recommend Raindancer!!!

I always heard about this place but never decided to go until my family booked reservations. The food was excellent. Prices are too be expected for high end food but the quantity made the value even higher. Large portions with higher end restaurants are usually never the case but here you get the most bang for your buck in the area. We were all very happy and it will now be my regular place when I'm in town. Chris was a great server. Just a tip, don't reach over someone's food to remove a dirty plate. Otherwise, excellent. Great job Raindancer.

Food was very good, nice atmosphere and service. Highly recommend. 3 orders of haddock and 1 nice prime rib. All very good. My French onion soup was ok. Salads were delicious. Gonna make RD a regular stop even though it's a 45 minute trip. Looking forward to trying a steak.

Amazing! Prime rib was fantastic. Service was perfection. This was our first time here so didn’t know what to expect and our group of 7 was blown away. We love the design of the restaurant with all its private knooks and rustic feel. The entire group loved their food by the way not just me and my prime rib. We got the toll house cookie dessert and the peanut butter pie to share. Both disappeared. Highly recommend this restaurant and if our travels bring us back we will definitely come back here.

Excellent restaurant with very good food and service. I had the seafood casserole while my wife enjoyed the filet mignon. I recommend both. We had the Caesar salad and while it only came with 1 anchovy our waitress was nice enough to get us a few more. Too full for dessert so no comments.

We had a bridal shower for my daughter today. Raindancer restaurant was wonderful! The setting was so nice. Alexis and Walter assisted with the planning, Alexis was so sweet and helpful, and our waitress Samantha was nothing short of amazing. She handled 20 guests by herself without breaking a sweat. She was calm and efficient and so accommodating. We all loved her and everyone commented on what a good waitress she was! The food was excellent and the room we were in was so cozy and intimate. Thank you Raindancer for a memorable experience.

Today we stopped in Amsterdam, NY (because we thought the name was cool lol) and we found this absolute gem! This place is amazing. The staff is super welcoming and friendly. Becky helped us out today and she is the best! The food is incredible! And the portions are hefty. Take it from us... we've never lead you astray.

My family and I celebrated a birthday dinner last night and had an amazing time. I’ve been going to Raindancer my whole life and would absolutely recommend it. We ordered the French onion soup, a Caesar wrap, chicken wings, salmon, and the penne alla vodka. Everything was delicious. Our waitress (Alison or Alisha) was wonderful and very attentive. While the prices have definitely gone up, it’s still well worth it in my opinion. The cozy decor really adds to the experience as well. It’s a must visit in Amsterdam! 🌯🥙🥂

3 old friends went for late lunch, 2:00 PM. We were not allowed into the front area where there are windows, even though we had a reservation, and were seated in the dark, confined area with no natural light. We all had the long bone rib steak ($49.99). The meat was cooked as asked, but the quality was poor, much grizzle, fat, unedible material. The waiter was excellent. The chairs were reasonably comfortable. We do not drink alcoholic beverages, and the bill was $250.00 for 3 with a 20% gratuity.

Four of my friends and I went for $5 all you can eat wing night. Bad part you have to sit at bar to get the special deal. People who just want a social drink now have to deal with people hovering over them waiting for a seat at the bar. We had people just staring at us constantly turning a great night with old friends into a awkward atmosphere over seating. Let people drink and eat in peace open a wing only section not at the bar please.

A large group of us went for the early bird menu and the food was really good. I had the prime rib. For $5.00 more, you got a salad that was much bigger than expected, coffee and dessert. Great deal. The waitress was exceptional. She handled our large group with ease and grace. Great personality. Sorry I forgot to take pictures!

Visiting family in Amsterdam NY & they recommended this place. We’ve been traveling for 2 days and wanted something nice to eat. Atmosphere and service was the best, my whiskey was plentiful & full bodied. Our server was quick, friendly & helpful. Food was a mix bag: OMG! garlic bread was to die for. Pork was amazing, steak salad was just good because the steak was overcooked, salmon & rice were dry and the calamari tasted burnt. We would definitely go back though.

This has always been our favorite restaurant in this area. The last 2 times has been disappointing. Service was terrible. Never got my drink and after we got our food never came back to ask if all was ok. I said never got my drink didn’t say sorry or anything. I asked for check and that was that. That was in November. Tonight we made sure we made early reservations as Valentine’s Day. Same thing took forever to get service and dinner about one hour. The server never I mean never came back to see if we needed anything while waiting and then when we got our food never came back once. We stopped her ask her for to go container and she gave us them and check. Never asked if we wanted dessert or coffee. Very disappointed. We always bragged about this restaurant to others before but I don’t know now. It is expensive but use to be worth it but not now poor service and food is not like it use to be.

I apologize for never writing a review prior to this, because in the past we've always been overjoyed coming here. I'm always recommending the place to everyone who wants a good steak. So for Valentine's Day I booked a reservation over a month prior for 7pm for us and two of our friends for a double date. We actually got seated right away, got our drinks and apps reasonably fast. My wife and I ordered the prime rib for two sweetheart special. Over an hour after we ordered the main course came out. I see the steak and immediately realize it doesn't look right. Definitely not a prime rib, that's because they brought us the heart shaped ribeye. Overcooked no less. Everything was cooked wrong for the table. My wife was eating the seafood portion of the special and I was getting the prime rib. It's the only reason I chose it. So I mention it to the waitress who was insistent (off of memory) I ordered the ribeye. I make mistakes occasionally and I'm soft spoken so I might have said the wrong thing or wasn't clear enough. Then I realized they brought au jus...iykyk. A few moments later she comes back and says I did order the prime rib and they were out of it. 🫩🙄 Ok. So I ate the mashed potatoes. They gave us half off and offered a free dessert. Which they ran out of that also. The place was completely booked, how do you not have enough for a 7pm reservation. We'll be back, but without encouragement it's going to be a long time. Very disappointed. And I'll withhold my recommendations until I'm sure they are in a good place again, because last night ruined it for me.

We have going to this establishment for many years unfortunately this is the third time and last time we will be going! The recent menu changes and cold food and the salt that is being used is beyond daily limits!!!! It’s unfortunate that it has to come to this because obviously the owner didn’t care that he is causing so many lips cracking and needing to get hooked up to a fire hose to quench the salt 🧂!! The soup was just plain broth with salt and flavoring!! Maybe they ran out of onions! Well I hope that was the case!

I was refraining from writing this review but after two recent poor experiences I feel as if it is warranted. The recent menu changes were a poor idea. They removed sides from dinners and made the meals more expensive. We ordered two, chicken penne ala vodka meals and two salads (additional for the sides and for the chicken) and our total came out to $75! The meal wasn’t even flavorful and the salads were skimpy. When we went in to eat a month ago, the young hostess was rude when I asked if we could wait to sit at a booth because we were waiting for friends. She said it would be a long wait so instead we were sat in the back corner of the restaurant where it was so quiet that we didn’t even feel comfortable having a conversation. I asked if we could be moved to a booth near the bar, even if it meant waiting an hour and she was extremely rude with us. Her shortness of words, grabbing of the menus, and actions spoke volumes. Between these two events, I am having a hard time supporting a business that is so close to home.

I'm not sure what's happened but our recent experience wasn't the best. The menu has changed and although prices went up the dinners no longer include a salad/soup and roll. The banana cream pie was awful and we threw it away (used to be good ) . The banana was served on the side in the dirty old peel to go ?? What the heck. Probably won't be our go to any longer.

We’ve came here for years, but the last few visits have been awful. Today I got a chicken Caesar wrap, for a $21 wrap I’m expecting it to be pretty good. There’s maybe a tablespoon of dressing on the entire thing, and it’s just thinly spread onto the tortilla. The lettuce, croutons and chicken are completely dry. I’d expect a little more effort for these prices. I could’ve made a better wrap at home. Our waitress also never came back for a quality check and wasn’t particularly pleasant. Unfortunately as long time customers, we won’t be back.

3 out of 4 people in my party had the prime rib with a baked potato, although the flavor of the prime rib was outstanding it would have been magnificent if it was not stone cold. The potato was also cold. Our waiter was disengaged from the task at hand, let's just say a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. This was an extremely disappointing experience.

I went for a birthday dinner on Thursday 10/23. I ordered the southwest chicken wrap with crispy chicken, and my friend ordered a chicken salad. My wrap came out with grilled chicken instead, and I waited for my waiter to come back over to tell him of the mistake. He apologized and took it back to get fixed. We waited over 20 minutes for them to come back with the correct wrap, and the waiter's excuse was "it's the busy dinner rush." I explained mine should have been taken care of before making other's meals. He again apologized. At that point my friend's chicken was cold because she did not want to eat without me having my meal. My wrap was probably the worst wrap I have ever eaten and was definitely not a "southwest" wrap (they want you to dip it in the ranch); not sure what has happened to Raindancer but it has gone down hill. The chicken tenders were rubbery and not crispy, and the fries were undercooked and tasteless. I ended up eating only half the wrap because it was gross. They did end up not charging me for my wrap (which I appreciated), but regardless of the food taking way too long, the meal was horrible. I will not be going back just because of the food alone.
