Raindancer Restaurant - Amsterdam (NY)

5 /5 Erica Kendrew: 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!

4 /5 Harry Downing: 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.

5 /5 Iwill Rateyou: 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 Im in town. Chris was a great server. Just a tip, dont reach over someones food to remove a dirty plate. Otherwise, excellent. Great job Raindancer.

2 /5 Alyssa: 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.

1 /5 Anastasi & co.: 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, lets just say a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. This was an extremely disappointing experience.
