This was our second time at Siro’s as we came last year as well. Our server Nicole and her helper Sophia were wonderful! So polite, helpful with the menu and the wine, just overall exceptional service! Our food was delicious from the tuna tartare to the Caesar salad to the filet and can’t forget the olive oil cake. To some it may be pricey but in my opinion it is worth it. Conveniently located within walking distance from the track. We cannot wait to go to Siro’s again next year when we are in Saratoga during the summer!

This was our first experience dining at Morgan & Co., and it did not disappoint. We were warmly greeted and seated next to the fireplace, and it was a cold and rainy evening, so this was much appreciated. The waitress (Fay) was a delight and very accommodating, service was timely, and the meal was absolutely heavenly! We both commented on the way home that this was a place we would be coming to again. Also a big thank you for the champagne toast to commemorate our big night!
