Battle Of The Brews - Saratoga Springs

I came here on a Thursday night and it was relatively busy so I would recommend a reservation. Service was attentive but not overwhelming. The ambiance is very nice; rustic yet not dingy. They provided complementary bread and butter which came in the form of rolls. For my main, I ended up getting the maple chicken salad. The maple balsamic vinaigrette was really delicious with the apples and the grilled chicken, but the highlight of the meal was definitely the pumpkin nut muffin. It was soft and spiced very nicely; I was surprised by how well it complimented the salad. The person I went with got the fish and chips. He said it was pretty good but inauthentic to the U.K. (this is a good thing; it means the fish was seasoned well). Overall, I would certainly recommend the Olde Bryan Inn for a comforting vibe and good food.

The food was amazing, the service was great. Emily made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere is inviting and cozy. The ****** Mary's we delicious

Incredibly rude hostess. The rest of the staff is lovely were apologetic. They did their best to make up for a truly baffling disappointing start.

Just went here and food was good and enjoyed the atmosphere. We had a large party and stayed for like 1.75 hours and spent plenty. At the end of the night I was waiting for the check for 20 minutes and that didn't bother me until the manager came out and told me I was lingering and that they needed the table. It was more disappointing that he went right to insulting me before even asking nicely. He obviously realized his mistake and walked away. Would never go back though.

The Olde Bryan Inn is a staple in Saratoga. The place is homey and takes you back in time. It was wonderfully decorated for the holidays. We started with cocktails and a few apps. I opted for the French onion soup and wow, it was incredible! I would return for this alone. It was perfectly rich and cheesy, the broth was heavenly. I am kinda bummed all the reviews were so-so and there were no great photos of the prime rib. So here's my positive review and some good photos. I did not order the prime rib at fear it would be over to my liking but my friend was served an excellent mid rare slab of prime rib. Everyone throughly enjoyed their meals. I opted for the fish and chips. From the photo, the batter looks over fried/ burnt but it didn't taste so. The fish was flaky tender, good fries, but the tartar sauce blew me away. It was seriously amazing I had to ask for more. Big punch of dill and lemon flavors and it was the perfect accompaniment to this dish. Service was slow throughout the visit, but it was really crowded. We were comped a round of drinks for the wait. It's a great spot to hang and chat with friends albeit a bit loud. Overall, this is a good spot and I'll be back!
