Bard And Baker Board Game Cafe

As someone visiting from outside of New York State, I was excited to enter the Cafe, my first board game cafe.

To my dismay, I was informed that a reservation was required to dine inside. Despite there being 10 open tables, they were all reportedly reserved within five minutes of our arrival.

I would have liked to have the size of the portion I paid for.

Ignore the negative review from an uninformed individual who doesn't understand the impact of a pandemic on small businesses. This restaurant is exceptional, offering the best cocktails and mixed drinks in the capital region, paired with delicious dishes. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, consistently providing a five-star experience.

Our group ended up leaving after ordering just a single drink and went to a different establishment. It's disappointing that we had this experience, especially since we've heard so many good things about the place. I'm not sure if we'll give it another try anytime soon.
