Q&A with John Laposta, Chef/Owner

What is one fun, unusual fact about your business?
Our current location was once part of one of Saratoga's Grand Hotels, The American Hotel, then The Rip Van Dam Hotel.

Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
We offer great acoustic music in our lounge Tuesday–Saturday

Décor can say a lot about the type of food a restaurant serves. How does your décor inform or reflect your culinary practice?
We feature a great bar and lounge serving our complete menu and a comfortable dining room. The greatest feature of our restaurant is the raised terrace for outdoor dining. We seat 60 guests overlooking the hustle and bustle of Saratoga's main street, Broadway.

In your own words, how would you describe your menu?
Chef-owned-and-operated, the menu is constantly changing with fresh and seasonal products. All of our food is original and made completely from scratch. From the bread to charcuterie, we make it here.
