"Good food and a loving family atmosphere. If I don't start my weekday morning with my coffee (or unsweetened ice tea) and a pleasant visit with Aphrodite, well then, it starts off on rough ground. Pat never disappoints. The home fries are THE BEST around! The waitresses are always pleasant. If I have enough money with me, I like to top off my breakfast/lunch with a bowl of nice, cold tapioca pudding. <br/ <br/ Although its tough to say goodbye to the lovely, kind people at Colonie Diner, the genuine, albeit rushed at times, well wishes for the day, make the parting easier to handle. Can you tell that when you are a customer, you become family at Colonie Diner?"

Favorite diner of all time!. I LOVE this place. The older woman who always waits on us there is SO sweet, she knows what we need before WE do. The food is always perfect and very reasonably priced. Go, you will NOT be disappointed!

Went for breakfast on a Sunday around 9am and one of the few tables in there. Awesome old Greek woman as our waitress that was a riot. Food was cooked lightning fast and everything was pretty good. Country potatoes and sausage were diggity, the chocolate milk however wasnt good. Overall definitely worth a stop if you're passing through Albany.

"I stayed at the attached Hampton hotel on business and was looking for a great dinner where I could dine alone. I was told by the desk to try this restaurant. I walked in and was astounded at how beautiful the restaurant and bar were, it was during the Christmas season. I was given a corner table by the hostess which I loved. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant and was impressed by the menu (I have worked or consulted for some very high restaurants/retailers in Manhattan). I had a waitress, if I'm correct her name was Amy. She came off as very professional but in some ways sweet. She was a great waitress. She brought me my order perfectly timed from my cocktail to my wine to my appetizer to the entree and to the dessert. I knew I picked the right place when I ordered a Negroni and it was perfectly made. I had a great salad but I was most impressed by the cassoulet. I've eaten in Paris, Montreal, NYC etc. and it was probably the best cassoulet I have ever had. It was delicious! Everything else was also very good including my chocolate dessert. Unfortunately my espresso was poorly made. The flavor was there but not the technique. After my meal I felt so comfortable that I decided to stay a bit longer and asked Amy if the restaurant carried Amaro. She didn't know what they were and the bartender Peter immediately came to my table and explained what he had. To my surprise he had Amaro Lucano, a spirit from my wife's small town in Italy. Very hard to find. The bar has an awesome menu of wine, spirits and beers. He gave me the drink on the house and recommended that I try one of his drinks called a Boulevardier. It was excellent. Most importantly Peter was very professional and maybe because of my being in the food business too, he told me about the restaurant and gave me a tour. I totally felt his passion about his job which was great to see! Anyway he was a great bartender. In short, I totally loved this restaurant from its ambiance to its menu to its staff. Wish it were in NYC. Can't wait to go back!"
