Chef John LaPosta has had a long and exciting career path which has landed him in the restaurant of his dreams. Along with his partner, Tina Kruger, he has created a wonderful American Gastropub full of great energy, fine hospitality, and of course, outstanding food.It is his passion for excellence, beaming hospitality and tireless work that have been the hallmarks of John's 30+ years as one of the Capital Region’s most popular chefs. He is known for his outstanding food that he serves to "real" people in a fun and unassuming style. His simple philosophy has always been "put the love on plate."

I’ve been to the tipsy taco a few times. My experience has varied. One thing that’s constant is the food is great! I’d gone there one night and it was quiet and was nice to be able to talk with other people at the table and enjoy an appetizer. On other nights it’s been overwhelmingly loud, it’s a small restaurant, they fill up and the structure doesn’t absorb any sound. Overall a good restaurant but if you’re looking to be able to hold a conversation this is not the best place.
