Restaurant 605

"Amazing experience at restaurant 605! The service and food are out of this world. Highly recommend the calamari and general tso's cauliflower. Not usually a fan of smash burgers but these burgers were phenomenal. Will definitely be back to try the French dip!"

"The food here is outstanding - like *really* outstanding. It’s great to have a pace like this in the neighborhood. We’ve been about 5 times since they opened. We’d go more often but there are 2 downsides that stop us. The acoustics are not good - the place is really loud with cacophonous crowd noise. But this is fixable with proper acoustical treatment - well placed noise dampening panels/wood on the ceiling and walls, and some rugs on the floor would go a long way. The other thing is all the TVs. Good lord with the huge screens visually screaming at you as you try to eat, not sure why restaurants think this is a good idea. I totally understand it on a Sunday afternoon during football season, but in a place with food of this high quality it makes little sense to me to have TVs blaring sports games on a Friday evening when I want to enjoy a relaxing dinner. I think 605 is stuck between wanting to be a sports bar and quality restaurant serving well crafted food and the 2 don’t work well together in this space. My point here is to provide constructive feedback - I’m still giving it 5 stars based on the food - hoping to improve what has potential to be a tremendous neighborhood restaurant."

"Very cozy and modern perfect spot for our neighborhood and city. Very hospitable hosts, food is amazing and they have some very good home cocktails! I recommend to everyone! and i am coming back!"

"This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Albany. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! But Burgers are the best in NY State! Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Cory, if I remember the name is amazing! Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Albany!"

"A friend and I grabbed some apps to share for dinner. Good serving size. Very good flavor. Chef was willing to sub out some ingredients. Service was good! Nice and clean environment. Music was a little loud... but all good. Update- visit again yesterday with my kids. They're not super picky but they're kids... it can be hit or miss. They loved it! Especially the General Tso's chicken."
