The OBI is always a great place to go. We went for lunch. The place hasn't changed, and in this case, that is a good thing! The ambiance is comfortable and enjoyable. The food was excellent. We had the fried mushrooms, and they were perfect. THE French Onion Soup was the best I've had in a long time. My friend had a burger, which she really enjoyed. We both had dessert. She said the cheesecake was delicious and was pleased that $2 of every piece goes to a charity on what we learned is a rotating basis . Creme Brulee is one of my favorites and this was lovely with its' nice crackly top and delicious creamy texture. Our server Jocelyn was friendly and attentive. Altogether a great experience. I highly recommend OBI !
Outstanding local find while on business trip!!! Make a reservation to be safe and you'll find an ancient building (since 1773) with one of the most diverse menus I've seen on my many trips around the US. Portions are large but not insane so you'll be full but not in pain. Turkey is a favorite of mine and was told that's their specialty so based on referral I did the oven roasted turkey dinner with smashed potatoes, corn stuffing, green beans, gravy, and small side of cranberry sauce (fresh). Everything was perfectly made and for together like the very best Thanksgiving meals. I went with an atypical appetizer given dinner choice but the mozzarella sticks (4 big rectangles not greasy done just right) which had a twist. In addition to some perfectly made marinara dipping sauce, there was another dip that was dark. I tried a taste expecting maybe BBQ and instead got like a fruit taste. They explained it was a raspberry almost jam/compote kind of like for toast. I was highly skeptical but love sweet and salty or savory and color me stunned. I wouldn't say it's for everyone, but it was a great alternative taste combo so I did 2 sticks that way and 2 the other. It's a bit discordant to do both in one setting but worth the try. If you're in the area this is a MUST visit, not an option. As in future trips to Albany I would say the 30 minute drive north would be worth doing for another meal here. And for those worried about a REALLY old stone building, as someone with asthma and allergies I didn't have any issues and didn't smell anything musty or scary. Whatever they've done to clean and maintain is working. All the visual delights of a colonial building without worry about air quality.
Locals already know what I know...OBI is amazing! So this review is best for those visitors to Saratoga Springs who want to have an outstanding meal...yes, a whole lot of "comfort food"; without a huge Saratoga price tag. OBI is hands down one of our favorite places for a meal...wonderfully prepared foods...consistently excellent this year, last year, and so many years past. A wait and bar staff that truly appear to like their jobs and provide outstanding service throughout. This week's visit included trying the Smoked Gouda Short Rib Poutine for the first time, and so mad at myself for not making this a regular part of my visits previously! My consistent recommendations are the Turkey Dinner, the Fish & Chips, the French Onion Prime Rib Sandwich, the Jambalaya, and of course, their salads and delicious pumpkin walnut muffins! "IF" you can possibly fit in desert...order ANY of them because they are all wonderful. Make this a must stop on your visits to Saratoga Springs.
Delicious, hot lunch on a cold rainy day! We ordered the French onion soup, chipotle chili, poutine and a steak sandwich that was a special of the day. Every single bite was delicious!! Beautiful old building, we enjoyed reading about the history too! We will be back.
Everything was delicious. The French onion soup is obviously a must. The open face turkey and the French onion rib eye sandwich were also great. Our waiters Hannah was a so sweet and so on point! Def make a reservation they get packed!
The French onion soup is the best ive ever had. It was someone else's and the moment i had it, i know i ordered the wrong thing. the short rib pasta was good, but very under seasoned. everything except the French onion was under seasoned. It was cooked well, but under seasoned. I assume thats because the clientele is on the older side? i done know. The cooked was really well done. So its not a cooking or recipe issue. The atmosphere might have been my favorite part. The building is older than our country. thats so cool.
Repeat customer and food never disappoints. Made reservations and did not have a wait. Warm bread was searved as we waited for dronks and appetizers. Ordered the shrimp cocktail and steak bruschetta for appetizers,both were perfect. Shrimp was cooked to perfection and sauce had a nice kick. For the main course we had the Filet of Mignon and Chicken Cordon Bleu, served with veggies and choice of potato. Both we again cooked perfectly. Dessert was creme Brule and the toll house cookie pie sundae. Both were excellent, but the sundae is really for 2 or more people so alot was left. Neither of us had any alcohol only 1 soda each. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. An awesome experience any time of year,but very festive during the holidays. Always love visiting.
Food was very good. Definitely recommend the French onion soup and the poutine, they were standouts. For our entrees we got the salmon and the spicy gochujang vegetable bowl. Both were relatively good but nothing to write home about. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good. Overall a wonderful experience.
Olde Bryan Inn was the highlight of our trip. We had the best Thanksgiving meal and the best fish and chips ever. Cozy atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. I can only recommend it!
Highly recommend a reservation for this awesome establishment! If you don't have a reservation you might not get in. Cool old school vibe. Great service done with a smile. The menu is fabulous and filled with homestyle dishes. Very good drink, beer, and wine menu with plenty of beers on tap to include a sour. If you are looking for a cheap place to bring someone, this is not it. Everything is reasonably priced for portions and meal type. Drinks/beer are a little pricey but I loved everything about my experience.
