A review from the Capital Region Living Magazine

Saratoga Rose Inn & Restaurant was recently reviewed by Capital Region Living Magazine. It's readers voted us the "Best Bed & Breakfast in the Capital Region for 2006" and again for 2007, and #3 for 2009.  Following is a section from the review which was done for our Spanish & Portuguese Wine Tasting Dinner: 

Overall rating on a scale of 1-10
Service - 10 Food - 10 Ambiance - 9

"The first course was a fabulous Prawn Custard with Port...It was served with Ramos Pinto, Adriano White from Portugal. Throughout the dinner, we discussed the wines at length —this seemed to be the table’s favorite, but I think it had more to do with the skillful pairing…The next course was my favorite…Linguica & Pimiento Tapas, paired with Pedro Domecq Amontillado Dry Sherry from Spain (I felt that it was the best pairing of the evening!)…we were served Beef Portuguesa with fried potatoes...This pan-cooked (not grilled) fillet was outstanding…the beef was marinated in red wine and was served with Serrano Ham. The pairing for this dish was Abadia Retuerta Seleccion Especial, a ‘01 Spanish red. This wine was highly anticipated by one of our fellow dining companions and we could all see why. It was an excellent choice for this dish and an excellent stand-alone drinking wine…This was a wonderful evening…to experience great food—artfully cooked and delightfully presented. If the food was not outstanding enough, the wine presentation was wonderfully casual and very enlightening."
