   If you are going stick to the Sushi, it is amazing, The other food was not real exciting, Bison burger was so tough and very overcooked. Lobster Mac and cheese was good, but spicy, so be prepared. Lobster roll was very odd and very small. The sweet potato fries were good.

   I always dine at The Albany War room when seeing a concert at MVP Arena. They have a limited menu on those nights, but still something for everyone. Last night I had the shrimp and grits which was delicious. The sushi, made fresh, is also delicious. Highly recommend!

   We booked a table before seeing the Pentatonix Show at MVP Arena. The only available reservation for 4 people was at the counter. What a pleasant surprise! The counter is directly in front of the sushi bar, staffed by Saso and his assistant. He was fun, engaging and truly made the dinner one to remember. Our server, Paula, was also terrific. Three of us ordered the sushi dinner, which was an excellent choice. The only issue was order off the dinner menu for the person in our party who did not eat sushi. Her meal, an appetizer and salad, did not arrive until an hour after the rest of us had been served our miso soup and sushi. The sushi and food were excellent. The Albany War Room Tavern just needs to have better coordination between the sushi counter and the kitchen.

   My heart broke for our poor waitress. The place was out of chicken and lobster. And lychee liquor. Three things listed on the menu that they could not serve at 5pm on a Saturday night. Owner walked around scratching his head, not helping. Not once did he clear a dish or deliver a drink. Food we did get (4th choice) was very good, but every table was disappointed and the seating is on top of one another. Sorry. Won’t go back.

   They were very nice and efficient. The owner even offered me a drink. Had to turn down because I had to go back to work. Will definitely be back to sample Saso's sushi.

   Everything is just mediocre, and for one of the highest price points in the City, it should be great, but at least good. Just bar food.

   Food was okay, I think the price is not worth it for the omakase menu. We thought it would be more of an experience, and they kept forgetting the next item to bring. Cocktails are also not worth their value, I couldn’t finish mine. I was very excited for the experience, but was left very dissatisfied overall.

    We arrived at 5:30 pm to an empty dining room and ordered two appetizers, a cocktail, and a “mocktail” (which ended up being just cranberry juice). Unfortunately, the appetizers were bland and unappealing. After waiting around 40 minutes, the waitress returned and asked if we’d like dessert — we hadn’t even received our entrees yet (three sushi rolls). It seemed she may have forgotten to place the order, as she then rushed over to speak with the sushi chef. By that point, we were ready to leave. We asked for the check if the rolls hadn’t been put in, and it took another 15 minutes for her to bring it. There was no apology or acknowledgment — she simply set the check down and walked away. For two parents who rarely get a night out, this was incredibly disappointing. I just wanted to let you know about our experience, as it was truly one of the worst we’ve had.
