Restaurants in Albany

Black & Blue Steak and Crab on Western Ave is Albany's clearest option if you want serious steak and crab at the same table. Booking is easy compared to downtown alternatives like 677 Prime. Come for the dual protein focus — that is the kitchen's defining commitment — and request a booth if the room's energy is not what you're after.

Café Capriccio is a long-standing Italian restaurant at 49 Grand St in downtown Albany, with easy booking and a central location that suits pre- or post-theatre dinners. Current pricing and hours are not confirmed, so call ahead before a late-night visit. A dependable neighbourhood choice, not a destination splurge.
