dp An American Brasserie - Albany (NY)

5 /5 Mathew DiGennaro: This place seems to have some regulars and caters to the hotel crowd. Cool to see! I had the appetizer size of the mussels and the Indonesian noodles without any protein. This ended up being a rather balanced meal. You got a good quantity of mussels, and the curry they were served in was fantastic! The noodles were also just what I wanted after that, served in a smooth bowl that made picking them up easy! Out of the other things I saw people order, I think I chose two of the best. Plenty of high end top shelf drinks too! Appetizer mussels, noodles, and a beer was $51 after tax before tip.

5 /5 Udit Anand: Our visits to dp have been a great experience. Situated within the Hamptons Inn in Albany, dp offers a healthy range of eating and drinking options. The food is delicious and well plated, the drinks are delightful, and the ambience is welcoming and intimate. The only disappointment is that the entire dining experience takes a long time, from placing the order, to the food being served. That is largely because they are short staffed, and it would help if they add more people. Other than that, it was a great experience!

5 /5 Happily Ever Hendersons: Our go to for drinks and amazing food. DP is conveniently located within walking distance from the Palace Theater. I have never eaten anything there that wasnt amazing. The dining room isnt huge but its lay out allows for casual chit chat while still offering a "buzzing" social atmosphere. You can regularly find Chef Yono or Dominic entertaining their customers around the bar. For a real first class treat, make reservations for their high end dining experience in the back room.

5 /5 Stephanie Douglas: We had a fantastic dinner at dp An American Brasserie to celebrate my birthday. One of my children has peanut and tree nut allergies, and we were so impressed by how well the staff handled it. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and very thorough—double-checking with the kitchen and clearly communicating what was safe for her to eat. When each dish was served, she confirmed again what was allergen-free, which really put us at ease. While we skipped dessert (the ice creams and sorbets my daughter wanted are made in facilities with tree nuts), everything else was delicious and beautifully prepared. We shared a burrata and tomato appetizer, my daughter enjoyed the kids’ burger and fries, and the rest of the table had the steak frite, and PEI mussels. We also enjoyed cocktails, wine, and the best Shirley Temple with extra cherries! This has been a favorite date night spot for my husband and me for years. The service, food, and overall atmosphere are always excellent. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

1 /5 Joseph Iachetta: Had a reservation for my wife’s birthday. Dropped her off at the front door, because I was gonna go up the hill to park. While I was dropping my wife off there was a bum standing on sidewalk across the street begging for money. I rolled the window down and told him we had nothing. I waited till I saw my wife make it halfway up the stairs and drove up the hill to park. Walked down to the restaurant and made it to my wife sitting at a table in a dead dining room at 6pm.(only one other table seated). My wife had told me after I drove away she made it to the front door which was locked because of the bum. Now if he was a problem where the door needed to be locked. Why weren’t the police called? You just lock the door so customers with reservations have to deal with the grifter because you don’t want to? We ordered drinks and an appetizer. While waiting we saw two mice running around the dining area. If they are running around the dining area like that, it makes me wonder how they are where the food is being stored and prepared. Wanted to say something to the staff but wife “just wanted to have a good night” so we went to 677 Prime and enjoyed ourselves. Disappointed to say the least and I doubt I’ll be going back to DP or Yonos.
